The cast retold the story of a group of women from Preston who contributed so much to the war effort through fundraising for injured soldiers by playing football. After World War I, in 1921, the FA decided to ban women from playing football in an official capacity. For this reason, the success of this early Preston team has, for many years, been forgotten. It was wonderful to see so many of our former KGJS pupils taking part. Well done to the cast, who retold this unique story superbly. > Wonderful evening, all the cast did a fantastic job and all the work behind the scenes. Thank you for inviting us and for bringing this wonderful piece of sporting history to life!
