Kym James who plays for the ladies team, entered an online competition from ITV4's "The Big Tackle with O2" to win a training session with Austin . After winning the competition the Ladies are hoping to use the session to develop their skills and ability on the pitch. OLs Ladies are having a tough season following the retirement of several key players and this season has been focused on building up the team. Recruitment efforts have been paying off and the team have built successful links with Warwick University Ladies team. With over ten new players now playing for OLs Ladies this season, the team are hopeful for future performances and Austin ’s training session should continue to improve the team’s ability. “Old Leamingtonians Ladies are really excited about welcoming Austin to the Crofts. We can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us!” Said Old Leamingtonians Ladies Captain Hannah Leyland.
