Filton College Female Football Academy aim to complete an un-precedented quadruple and win every competition entered this season when they travel to Bradford City to take on Gateshead College in the English Colleges Champions League Final.
After a long season the college have only lost one competitive match and having already won the English Colleges League, English Schools Cup and GFA Womens Challenge Cup one last hurdle remains. Head Coach for Female Football Mark Sampson is looking forward to the challenge of the last game of the season and is urging his players to dig deep for one more big performance.
"Ten months after we first come together as a group our biggest challenge is now just around the corner. Gateshead have a fantastic set up and I know Mel will have her team well prepared for the game on Tuesday. We need to make sure we are ready for one last big effort, to give everything we have one more time and if we can do that I am confident this group of players will write their names in Academy history and become the most successful ever.
"To have won what we have already with such a young squad is a fantastic achievement, we lost pretty much a full squad last season and have brought in a number of first years who have improved beyond all recognition this season and now, every single player in the squad can step in and deliver a high quality performance.
"With college, first team and reserve team games some of the players have played nearly 50 games this season so to maintain their standards right throughout the year has been a big, big effort. But we know we need to make sure we are ready to give everything on the pitch on Tuesday and show everyone one more time our style."
