Winchester teenager hoping to achieve world cup dreams in England Women's U17 team – Hampshire Chronicle

Winchester teenager Sophie Harwood is in the England team at the FIFA Women’s Under-17 World Cup this week.
Sophie, 16, is in the Dominican Republic with her teammates following a preparation camp in Miami.
