I met these #Lionesses legends at Wembley last night. Check out their England legacy numbers - these women were among the very first pioneers of the women's game in England. And they were absolutely lovely to chat with 😍
Once a @Lionesses always a @Lionesses

There’s a reason middle class women of a certain age complain about inappropriate men Gregg - because we are not afraid of men of a certain age any more. #greggwallace

Important piece about Afghanistan women cricketers. The ICC have now been called out for their appalling lack of action on this issue by Amnesty International, no less.

After Afghanistan’s Men made it to the #T20WorldCup semi-finals, members of the former #Afghanistan Women’s Cricket team based in Aus have written to the @ICC asking for support in setting up a refugee team. They want this letter to be shared #bbccricket

I do not understand why what is going on in Afghanistan is not bigger news. Women now banned from “hearing other women’s voices” independent.co.uk/asia/south…

Bristol and Saracens women’s teams changed in offices and showered at a nearby gym with the men’s teams in the stadium facilities for their double header in October.
