Playing With the Boys

Not by the Playbook

Available for over a year

"Playing With the Boys" is a new book from 16 year old Niamh McKevitt. It tells her personal struggle to get the football authorities in England to change their rules on the age girls and boys can play matches together. So does mixed football work? Eventually she achieved the rule change but it came at a personal cost as Sarah Mulkerrins found out when she visited Niamh and the rest of her team mates at Huddersfield Town Ladies Photo: Part of the front cover of Playing With the Boys, a book by Niamh McKevitt (CREDIT: Vision Sports Publishing)
