Critics Review
I commend and congratulate Ashley Morrison on bringing the stories of that 1988 team-my heroes-out of the shadows for a modern audience to learn about. Because of his passion for the story of those mighty pioneering women, a new generation will now have the opportunity to celebrate a team that achieved remarkable things and who all deserve to be recognised and applauded.
