Gas Girls hoping to find female football talent in St Paul’s

By Martin Booth  Wednesday Mar 8, 2023

As part of the EFL Trust’s female talent identification programme, Bristol Rovers will be hosting free talent ID sessions for girls at schools in St Paul’s to help the club identify potential talent within the area.

The new initiative is from Bristol Rovers Community Trust and Bristol Rovers Women’s FC.

It’s taking place in partnership with St Paul’s Carnival, offering opportunities for girls within areas where access to football can be limited and is hoping to inspire the next generation of talented female players from Bristol.

Gas Girls co-founder, Matthew Davies, said: “The St Paul’s Carnival kit launch was a brilliant success and with all of our partnerships we always want to continue doing more within our communities.

“With the fantastic support from the EFL Trust innovation fund and St Paul’s Carnival, I’m sure our team will be able to deliver an engaging, inspiring and successful programme for the girls within these schools.”
