Female Focus 2020: Erin Heathcote (Connah’s Quay Nomads)

Meet Erin of Connah’s Quay Nomads!

After every Female Focus, I’ve made it a tradition to pop out and buy a bar of my subject’s favourite chocolate.

Well now I’ve changed the game and instead I listen to their Favourite Song (I’ve never heard of any of them). Loose Ends lasted 17 seconds on my sound system (or when he starts ‘singing’/talking). Different age group, different tastes maaan.

The first game at Nomads Ladies. We had never played together before and ended up with a win against Wrexham FC (5-2).

Kate Horne 100%. She has an immense talent for the game – great ability to both attack and defend but also creates unbelievable passes, working the team around the pitch.

Hardest opponent faced

An American team from Texas a few years back (see picture above). Their style of play was much different to ours, such a good experience.
