Girls on the ball

The Women’s World Cup has sparked a huge surge of interest in football – and it was on show in Cambridge last weekend as Te Awamutu and Cambridge battled out an entertaining seven-aside Under-10s game.

The visitors came away with a 2-1 win. Te Awamutu’s player of the day was Kyla Pegler, while Pippa Spence stood out for Cambridge.

Mary Anne Gill was there to capture the action.
