Coach Suzanne O’Hara, aged 20, is hoping they will shine - despite a key member of the squad having to pull out recently after she broke an ankle in training.
“We’ve trained really hard and just can’t wait to get out there and show all the other teams what we’re made of!
Since forming in 2003, our focus has switched from sideline cheers at football games to becoming a sport in our right.”
Suzanne who has been coaching the team for a year said the girls are ‘nervous but very excited’ for the competition. To find out more about the Hallam Diamonds visit the Sheffield Hallam Union website here.
