West Craven High School

Olivia Selected for Lancashire School Girls U14 Squad A huge congratulations to Olivia in Year 9, who has once again been selected to represent the Lancashire School Girls Under 14s football squad. Olivia earned her place after a highly competitive selection process, with 140 players taking part in trials across four separate dates. Following the trials, she was chosen as one of just 23 players selected for the final squad, a fantastic achievement that reflects her talent, dedication and hard work. Alongside representing Lancashire, Olivia maintains an incredibly busy football schedule, playing for AFC Fylde on Saturdays and Burnley Women Juniors on Sundays. Everyone at West Craven is extremely proud of Olivia's continued success and wishes her the very best for the season ahead. Well done, Olivia!
