The ESFA concluded stage 2 of England U15 Schoolgirls Trials sponsored by Pro:Direct this weekend and are delighted to be announcing the North and South Squads for the final trial in December.
The ESFA hosted two regional trials this weekend with the North and Midlands regional squads travelling to Lilleshall National Sports Centre and the South East and South West squads travelling to Rectory Park in Middlesex. From these trials, two squads of girls have been selected to represent the North and the South at the Final stage of the trial process. This trial will be hosted at Lilleshall National Sports Centre on Sunday 12th December. The successful trialists from this trial will be selected to play for the England U15 Schoolgirls for the 2021/22 season and have the opportunity to pull on the prestigious three lions shirt!
