As a regional winner Faye now also qualifies for the National Awards.

Faye has also been shortlisted for the Coach Of The Year Award at the Black Country Sport & Physical Awards Ceremony, due to take place at the Copthorne Hotel, Merry Hill, on October 9.

She said: “We go to Grassroots Live every year and I was delighted that some of the girls voted for me as coach of the year. It was a real joy to meet Chris Kamara.

“We got promotion to the Premier Division of Birmingham County Women’s League last season so we can’t wait to get started on this year’s campaign.”

Faye’s next challenge comes as Tipton Town Ladies begins its first campaign in the Premier Division of Birmingham County Women’s League.
