The team and their parents have been busy raising funds to cover the cost of the trip.

The girls did a sponsored bike ride around the Guild Wheel in Preston, while in February they are heading to the Booths store in Kendal for a sponsored bag pack.

Their opponents at the Dallas tournament will include Dallas Texans (USA), VK Viking’s (Norway), Thespakusatsu Gunman (Japan), New Zealand secondary school girls, IF Lysend (Denmark), FC Coronado (Costa Rica), Australia schoolgirls and D Feeters Soccer Club (Texas).

The PNEWJFC Under-16s play under the guidance of manager Andy Lyons and coach Peter Millington.

They play their league games in the Greater Manchester Women’s League, and have their tracksuits and training tops sponsored by D.E.S Electrical Services.

Some of the team have been together since the age of six and others have joined along the way.

At the end of their time in junior grassroots football, some of the girls will progress into the women’s development squad.

PNEFC Women’s Junior FC last year celebrated their 25th anniversay and have won a number of trophies at various age levels.
