Fisher Youth FC’s first-ever girls' team will take part in the guard of honour for Millwall Lionesses clash against Dartford on Sunday at St Paul’s Sports Ground, Rotherhithe.
The new Fisher Youth FC U12 Girls team start playing fixtures this season (23/24) in the all-female Tandridge League U12 premier division.
The players were all recruited from Millwall Community Trust’s weekly Premier League Kick’s sessions held at St Paul’s Sports Ground on Wednesdays and the Docklands Settlement on Thursdays throughout the year.
Now, this Sunday they will be able to welcome the Millwall Lionesses onto the pitch for their match against The Darts before watching the game.
Millwall Community Trust’s Sports and Development Manager, Tim Sells said: “It was an absolute pleasure to help form this team and I’m delighted they can take part in the guard of honour this Sunday.
The work of Fisher FC’s Paul Harbert and our own Community Manager (Joubin Sarrami) to put this all together has been phenomenal. It’s fantastic to see the growth of Women’s football and hopefully these sorts of opportunities will continue to inspire young girls throughout our local community."
