Plumptre back at Leicester City

Plumptre on the other hand returned to Leicester City for their first Belvoir Drive Summer Camp.

Speaking at the event, Plumptre who is the Super Falcons Minister of Defense was delighted to see boys and girls at the camp.

She said, “They had some really good questions considering that they are so young! You can tell that they have been thinking about it. 

To see this many girls on a summer camp is great and a few boys joining in as well. 

The boys all knew about women’s football, which, a couple of years ago I don’t know if that would have been the case, so it’s really good.”
