"Come on the Blues" - Clare's Premier League Debut
3rd November 2008
Clare Almond, a first-year student here at College, hit the sporting high spots recently when she made her senior football debut in mid-October in the FA Women’s Premier League match between Birmingham City, Clare’s club, and Liverpool.
The Blues, for whom Clare played as striker, unfortunately went down to Liverpool 1-0, but there’s no doubting she will long remember her debut in the big time..
Clare, who is 16 and comes from Bromyard, previously studied at the Bishop of Hereford’s Bluecoat School. She enrolled at College this term and is studying Maths, English, Psychology and – perhaps not surprisingly – PE.
For the past three years she has been a member of Birmingham City’s Centre of Excellence team, and she also plays for the Hereford Phoenix Ladies with considerable success, last season enjoying a cup and league ‘double’ with them.
