Kit Check

Barry Town United’s Emily Freeman, who combines Genero Adran Premier football with training as a solicitor, answers the regular Kit Check questionnaire on boots and matchday essentials. The 24-year-old, a traditional left-winger recently shifted into a deeper, more defensive role, recalls her first pair of black Umbro boots as a child and a boyhood Manchester United shirt, while confessing to a preference for plain white boots for speed. A former Swansea University student, she reflects fondly on her varsity kit as one keepsake she still holds onto, and lists lip balm, caffeine gum and an energy drink as her essential non-negotiables for matchday.
