Buckhurst Hill Lioness signs for Arsenal
Faith Mensah from Buckhurst Hill u 12 blacks will be wearing the red and white of Arsenal for the up and coming 2017/2018 season after a successful trail. Faith was selected out of 150 girls including 20 current academy players. Faith had trained with the Buckhurst Hill Lionesses on Friday nights but opted to continue playing with the u 12 blacks. Stuart Blake (coach) has coached Faith since she was 6 years old. Faith's ability to read the game was always 18 months ahead of the rest of the players add that to her pace, strength and tackling ability made her very hard to play against. During her 4 seasons with Buckhurst Hill blacks Faith has won either parents player or the players player award.
Laura Mensah said "I would like to thank the club for their continued support whilst playing for Buckhurst Hill FC. This had been a fun, exiting and, at times, challenging experience. The team, Buckhurst Hill Blacks, has always been dedicated and committed which makes it a great environment to play in. I would especially like to thank Stuart Blake for being so dedicated and supportive over the years, thank you for teaching Faith so much and driving her in the right direction."
Faith's attitude, willingness to learn and coupled with her playing ability gives her every chance of a career in football. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with.
