How proud are we? Little ol’ Bolton County boasting a fully-fledged England international! And not only that – but one that is currently out in Kuala Lumper representing our great country in the World Cup…

That’s right! We are so proud of our Genevieve O’Hara as she is in Malaysia right now pulling on the three lions as England take part in the 4th World Deaf Football Championships – and if we go all the way, she’ll be there until Sunday 8 October 2023! What an achievement for our girl and further proof of how inclusive our great Club is! Football is the winner all-round…

The Women’s Team are led by GB Deaf Football (GBDF) and this World Cup is an important tournament for deaf football in the lead up to the Deaflympics in Tokyo in 2025 – so let’s hope our Vivi does enough to get her place in that as well…

We are SO, SO proud of you Vivi – so do your best and there will be massive big hugs waiting for you when you get back!
