Pivs Pin Down Promotion (Vicky Norman interview)

Vicky Norman explains how Stockingford AA Pavilion Ladies became Birmingham League champions and how the club acquired its mouthful of a name. Originally formed from Nuneaton Town and Higham, it became Attleborough Mills after a move, then took on the name of its current ground as part of the deal to play there; locally they are Piv Ladies or the Green Army, and the only women’s team in Nuneaton. The season began with the aim of fourth place, but performances surpassed expectations and a comfortable 5-1 home win over traditional rivals Sandwell convinced them they could be champions. Her best moment was the final whistle at Tamworth, 6-0 up and winning the title; the worst, gale-force conditions and freezing rain at Continental Star.
