Footballers and rugby players going the full 90 and beyond.
Scotland Rugby U18 Girls, TightHead Prop, 95kg. Club: Stirling County RFC. I've been playing rugby since 2020, taking it up at 13 during lockdown after playing basketball beforehand. I was contracted to the Scottish Rugby Performance Pathway in June 23 following success in the Regional Game series in Scotland and initial selection to Scotland U16s. I love sport, music, eating out and holidays in Florida, and I'm dreaming of playing for Scotland Women in the World Cup one day.
I'm Lacey Pountney, a young footballer. I've played for a club since I was seven, but before that I just used to have a kick about. One of my mates helped me join her team and I joined Mereside. I did many trials, and after trialling for Shrewsbury I was offered a space on the team, playing for both Mereside and Shrewsbury until near the end of the 24/25 season. I then joined The New Saints and won the treble with them, which I really enjoyed. I had interest from many clubs, and Man United asked me to train with the keepers, then to do the last round of trials, and I got in. I now train in Manchester three times a week and play games at the weekend, and the rest of my time I'm in school or recovering. I've also just been asked to the England pathway training camps.
