English Schools' Football Association

The culmination of the under 15 girls squad takes place this weekend at Stafford Town football club. This weekends’ trial is the final of three rounds of selection for players to get through to team for the John Read Trophy and the Bob Docherty Tournament later this year. The trials had been scheduled for mid-December, however, they had to be cancelled due to snow fall.

The trials have unearthed a high level of quality so far, with a number of standout players catching the eyes of selectors. The first round of regional trials took place in October with players in the North, Midlands, South East and South West competing with local players to be selected for their regional matches in November. This saw matches between the North and the Midland in Stafford and the South East against the South West at Thatcham Town. The cream of the crop definitely rose to the top in the trials with 34 girls making the final trials on Sunday the 14^th January at Stafford Town FC.

The trials are open for all to attend and anyone who wished to come along is more than welcome to. The ESFA would like to thank all those who have trialled so far and wish the best of luck to all those attending this weekend.
