Notes: Vice President is gunning for revenge after last season’s penalty shoot-out loss. Being a confident player, either a left back or left wing, Helena has also enjoyed a brief stint up front which proved to be well worth the gamble, even surprising herself. When shes not ordering kit for everyone she does work extremely hard slugging away at the QMC.

Notes: I got into coaching last year when I came and did some volunteer work with the girls. I really enjoyed it and so went and got my coaching badges and now I mostly take Goalkeeper sessions with an outfield one every now and again. Working with the girls has been great fun and their work rate and dedication during varsity training has been brilliant. We’re all looking forward to taking on Trent and hope to get another win on the board for Nottingham University.
