It is hard to sum this week up. An emotional rollercoaster! 🫣🎢
These four thirteen years old girls have been through a great deal and learnt so much. Both on the pitch and about themselves. We’ve seen them dancing, singing, laughing and weeping inconsolably. Hugging them when they’re all crying is heart breaking I have discovered! It has been quite a journey in forty degree heat and against girls mostly a couple of years older! 🦸🏼♀️👊🏻
I could talk about the girls individually but it really was a collective effort. Three years of training together, months of helping each other prepare and the four of them driving each other on to be better. I saw them all week helping each other, hugging anyone who looked sad, running to get their mates water and sprinting onto the pitch to congratulate them if they did something great. And this ethos was true of the whole team. Brilliantly led and coached it was such a positive experience and you could see everyone looking after our girls from coaches to their team mates and other parents. It felt like they were in such a great place to be supported and grow. Thank you to everyone involved but especially to the awesome foursome of Oliver Benjamin Delia, Justin and Hugo for all the care they so obviously took with them. Really grateful!🙏🏻😍
The girls are wrecked but when the dust settles I hope they are immensely proud of all they achieved. It is great to see the level and where you match up to it and I’m certain they will want to come back in two years’ time and go again. My main hope at the start was that they come away excited by the experience and I am certain that is the case. GB will need them again in two years. 💪🏻🧨
Thank you to their parents for committing to this slightly leftfield cause and to their coaches back home who have helped get them ready. They were such a credit to our club all week and I’m so excited to watch them and others continue this GB journey we’re now on! Girls we are so very proud of you. ❤️🥰
The second photo is my favourite. Four mates loving their best life. These are the memories I hope live long for them. They certainly will for us. ❤️👭🏼
LET’S GO EPSOM AND GB!!!! 🦅🇬🇧
