England’s Women’s World Cup quarter final against Norway on Thursday night could be set to be screened at Glastonbury thanks to a request from Barrow’s own Georgia Stanway.
Former Dowdales School pupil Stanway, 20, is the youngest member of the Lionesses squad and she has made three appearances so far to help them into the last eight, although she was an unused sub in last Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Cameroon in the last 16.
The PFA Women’s Young Player of the Year appealed to the festival’s organisers via Twitter: “Hi @GlastoFest. I’ve got a favour to ask. My brother is there on Thursday, can you screen our quarter final game please? #Lionesses.”
Stanway, who may win her 12th England cap against the Norwegians, was referring to older sibling JP, who plays football himself for amateur side Holker Old Boys in the North West Counties League.
