Arsenal Women forward Beth Mead has taken a trip to Market Road in Islington to cheer on girls taking part in our Premier League schools tournament.
Schools from across north London and Hertfordshire took part in the Under-13 competition, organised by Arsenal in the Community. Reigning champions St Albans Girls’ school defended their title with a close fought 1-0 win over Stoke Newington school.
Beth was on hand to congratulate the teams and hand out medals after the final.
“It’s fantastic to see so many girls out playing football and showing what they can do,” Beth said. “I really enjoyed meeting everyone. Arsenal have always been known as a club that backs women’s football in a big way, and it’s good to see that commitment extends to Arsenal in the Community and the work we do in the local area.”
Arsenal in the Community work with Arsenal Women to deliver girl’s football sessions every week in Islington, Camden, Hackney and Hertsmere.
