  • Short and Very Sweet

    Excellent pod summarising the previous weekend games; delivered by two of the best and most knowledgable in the women’s game.

    There’s no substitute for experience and expertise.

    I listen to Rachel and Sophie on numerous pods where they appear separately but together they make a great team.

    World Cup pod was great and so pleased they have continued to deliver this season.

    Give it a listen!

Extra Time at World Sevens | Match Day 1
Q: What was your one-sentence takeaway from the opening Chelsea vs Everton game?
Chelsea set the tone with a high-energy, creative performance that carried through into extra time, signaling the day would be filled with fast-paced, attacking football and exciting walkouts.
BONUS | Domestic football returns and Tracey Neville joins us
Q: What are your short- and long-term goals for Stockport's women's program?
Short-term, to stabilize and embed a strong competitive team; long-term, to grow participation at grassroots levels, ensure sustainability of the club irrespective of ownership changes, and push toward higher competitive tiers including WSL readiness.
BONUS | Domestic football returns and Tracey Neville joins us
Q: How do you see transferable skills from netball helping in football leadership and culture?
Transferable skills like team culture, elite environment management, and youth development philosophies translate across sports, and I'm leveraging those to create strong pathways for girls while fostering collaboration with other sports to uplift the entire women's game.
BONUS | Domestic football returns and Tracey Neville joins us
Q: What drew you to Stockport County Women and what has surprised you most about this transition from netball to football?
I was drawn by the chance to build something sustainable and community-centered, and I'm surprised by how quickly the club has integrated me into the fabric of Stockport County, allowing us to plan long-term rather than just addressing immediate needs.
Subway League Cup Final Bonus
Q: What would you say about the atmosphere and expectations around this final compared to others you've played in?
