Little Kicks: Born Kicking With Bethan Flannery (age 9) And Annie Flannery (age 5)

The Born Kicking slot meets two sisters from Portishead, and the magazine’s own summary is that it is getting a slight vibe that Bethan is a Beth Mead fan. Bethan, who turns ten on 20 September, plays right wing for Portishead Town Pumas because she likes running down the wing and passing to her friends, supports the England women’s team, and names Beth Mead as the player she would most like to meet, the player she would most like to play alongside, and the reason Arsenal will win the WSL. She is determined, loving and enjoying football, always wears a lucky headband, and once nutmegged a goalkeeper and scored in a 6-0 win against the boys. Five-year-old Annie, left-footed and newly started with Sports4Kids Strikers, picks her big sister as her best player.
