THE University of Worcester’s women’s football team are one win away from reaching the final of the British Universities and Colleges Sports (BUCS) Cup competition.
The women’s team take on the University of Birmingham on Wednesday, February 19 knowing a win will secure a first-ever appearance in the final of the cup.
And the university is launching a brand-new degree in football performance and coaching in September this year.
Worcester captain, Annie Sime said: “We’ve been training hard for the match to ensure we’re fully prepared.
“The quarter-final was a great experience which brought us all closer as a group.
“We’re hoping to use this to build our momentum, morale is high, and everyone is motivated to give their best performance.”
Head coach, Mike Harris added: “We have massive ambitions for the women’s football programme at the university, so to see so much early success has been really exciting.
“For them to reach the final would show that they’re a really serious group, that they’re so passionate about football and they’ve worked so hard.
“The team has gained so much confidence from coming so far already, and a win would reinforce all of the positivity and the good they’ve been doing.
“Birmingham are a good side; we’ve beaten them in the league this season so they’ll be coming to try and cause a bit of an upset on Wednesday.”
