UK Armed Forces women's football announce strong squad for Dutch President's Cup clash

The UK Armed Forces women's football team have announced the 21-player squad to take on the Dutch Armed Forces next week.

The President's Cup clash could see a UKAF debut for RAF goalkeeper Jamie-Lee Bamford, while experience lies ahead in defence with Nat Bavister, Cat Beaver and Courtney Jones all picked.

Anna Birtwhistle is selected and comes into the squad following a starring role in the 2023 Edwards Cup final as she scored twice and set up the other as the Royal Artillery won 3-2.
