Vyan Sampson and Chloe Kelly, both England internationals who came through the Arsenal Ladies Centre of Excellence, were in the city as part of a Girls Football Fun Day organised by ICA Sports FC at Ringwood.

Also in town was Arsenal Ladies Development Officer, Ciara Allan, who delivered a coaching session to the girls to give them an insight into how to ‘Play The Arsenal Way’.

The girls also enjoyed a refereeing session delivered by Rob Windle from the Peterborough Referees Association and a team challenge delivered by ICA coaches Steve Purnell and Scott Duffy.

Allan commented “ICA Sports FC have recently added female football to their offering and are doing a fantastic job. And as our Club Associate we can help players in Peterborough progress.”

Purnell added “We are proud to be the club chosen by Arsenal Ladies as a Club Associate in Peterborough and we are working hard to ensure we maximise opportunities for female players in the city.”
