CBBC stars Jake Humphrey and Angellica Bell, hosts of the new Saturday Show, are lending their support to The FA Women’s Cup Final, which sees Arsenal take on Charlton Athletic on Bank Holiday Monday 3rd May.
Jake and Angellica, who are keen football fans, are calling on the nation’s kids to get behind the ever increasingly popular sport of women’s football.
Jake who will be attending the match said: “It seems to me that more and more girls are kicking a football about and the talent that will be on show at the final is testament to the fact that women’s football is moving in the right direction. I am really looking forward to watching the match and soaking up the atmosphere.”
Angellica, who took part in the Fourth Round Draw of The FA Women’s Cup last season, added: “Women’s football is strongly underrated, yet the skills and expertise needed to play are the same as in the men’s game. I hope as many families as possible will get along to the match and cheer both teams on. I wish both teams the best of luck. “
The FA Women’s Cup Final, in partnership with Nationwide, will take place at Loftus Road, QPR FC, on Bank Holiday Monday, 3rd May 2003 at 1.00pm KO. The Cup Final will also be televised live on BBC1 for the third successive season.
Ticket priced £3 for adults (£5 on the day) and £1 concessions are available now by calling QPR FC on 0870 112 1967.
