Back of the net for Jazmin

Priory pupil, Jazmin came through tough trials to be selected for the Girls Under 14s District Lancashire schools football team.

Jazmin, 12, is a central midfielder for Lostock Hall Juniors and attended trials over two months at Fulwood Barracks for the county team.

Jazmin had to compete against approximately 100 players and got through each trial, before being selected as one the remaining 30 for the fourth and final trial. 

Jazmin was selected for the County District Squad – a huge achievement as she is one of the youngest in the squad and Trialling alongside players that are signed on to Regional Talent Centres such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers.

“It was pressure during the trials,” said the Preston North End fan. “When I got the email to say I had been selected, I couldn’t believe it and my parents were really proud.  I am very excited. It’s my first county call-up and it’s a big honour.

Jazmin continued, “I hope to be selected for a Regional Talent Centre and my dream is to play football for England.”

Jazmin will now represent Lancashire Schools in the Northern Counties Cup against Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire in the group stages.  In the first round of the National cup the team will play against Durham.
