Ava on the right path for talent

Thirteen-year-old Ava, who plays for Boston United’s under 14s Regional Talent Club, travelled to York to train alongside other talented female footballers across the region.

She is currently in her second season with the Pilgrims United, having previously been a Centre of Excellence player with the Lincolnshire FA.

Ava - a Skegness Grammar School pupil - is predominantly a right-sided midfield player that is comfortable playing in various outfield roles.
