Arsenal Ladies and England under 19s footballer Carla Humphrey was on hand to inspire more primary school girls in Cambridge & Newmarket to take up sport.

Carla visited the pupils at The Grove Primary School to host an inspirational school assembly talking about the importance of playing sport and the benefits to young girls in particular. She then visited the pupils at Fen Ditton Primary School before delivering a once-in-a-lifetime coaching session to the girls at Laureate Community Primary School & Nursery.
