Lancashire Schools FA

This blog will allow you to follow the progress of the Lancashire Schools FA U17s Girls team in the World Youth Cup (Gothia Cup) being held in Gothenburg,Sweden from 14/7/13 to 20/7/13. I am planning to provide daily updates from Sweden , including photos,videos and match reports. A link to the match schedule will appear here as soon as it is released.
The team was created in 2010 as the first ever Lancashire Schools FA Girls U16s representative side. They finished runners-up in the Northern Counties Schools FA Girls U16s Inter-County Cup in 2010-11( 1-2 v Durham Schools FA aet). They were winners of this trophy in 2011-12 ( 3-1 v Durham again ) when they also reached the final of the English Schools FA Girls U16s Inter-County Cup losing on penalties to Hampshire Schools FA.
This season 2012-13 has very successful again. The LSFA Girls U16s reached the final of the English Schools FA Girls U16s Inter-County Cup for the 2nd year running but yet again managed to lose a game they dominated ( 1-2 to Essex Schools FA )! On the plus side they reached the final of the Northern Counties Schools FA Girls U16s Inter-County Cup for the 3rd year running and retained the trophy beating Merseyside Schools FA 4-0.
Our U17's team contains girls from both of the last 2 years' successful sides.
