Local MP Sheryll Murray was joined by her colleague Caroline Nokes MP to cheer on Liskeard Girls Football Club as they took on a team from the South Shore area of Massachusetts. Sheryll, who is President of the Liskeard Team, was pleased to see the team win 2-1 at the match in Liskeard.
The youngsters from Massachusetts trip was arranged by UKSD (UK Soccer Development). UKSD believes in helping youngsters through the sport and through fitness and expanding their life experiences.
Sheryll said after the match, “What a fantastic game to watch. I was really impressed by the skill of both teams and I would like to thank everyone involved for making this game possible. It really is amazing the passion that the girls put into the games.
“Once again the girls from Liskeard were fantastic ambassadors for the area making the team from the USA feel very welcome. I hope the girls from Massachusetts have enjoyed their time in Cornwall and that they have learned from this fantastic opportunity.”
The Club is keen to get more girls playing and are looking for new players of all ages 8 upwards and for the new ladies team. For more information to go to www.liskeardgirlsfc.com or ring Ian Woodhouse on 07815860630.
