Shakeera was selected to represent the team while Francesca was selected to attend the trials. Parktown Girls‘ first team soccer coach, Cailin Whye said even though Francesca will only be attending, she feels like it is an achievement.
“Shakeerah and Frankie have worked exceptionally hard over the past two years. They both showed great determination, willingness to learn and value. They both have a great knowledge of the sport and used this to their advantage when they were playing. They have proven to be a huge addition to the team and we hope to see them further their skills in years to come.”
