First step Quote by Leah Williamson
“The most important thing is that girls get equal access because you are then giving them the opportunity to choose to play football. That's the biggest barrier - that was the biggest barrier for me. Accessibility is the first step and the funding gives us that but we can't just throw money at things and see what happens.”
