World Rugby has issued a grovelling apology for publishing 'misogynistic' guidance (based on an 18-year-old academic review) on how to coach women and girls. All credit and glory to the eagle-eyed @alicesoapbox for drawing attention to this. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

Excl. for @TelegraphSport: The WSL & Women’s Championship are set for a new record title-sponsorship deal, with Barclays doubling its investment in the two divisions per year in the new deal, in one of the NewCo's first big boosts #BarclaysWSL #BarclaysWC telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/…


This is absolutely brilliant, investing in specialist knowledge and resource around women’s health in @BarclaysWSL @BarclaysWC A wonderful good news story for the game. Congrats to all involved.❤️

The FA & the Well HQ launch a “pioneering” plan to address the women's health knowledge gap - a "female athlete health lead” will work at every WSL & WC club alongside training & support on periods, sports bras, pregnancy and more. Story for @WomensSport telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport/2…

🎾 2021: Emma Raducanu ⚽️ 2022: Beth Mead ⚽️ 2023: Mary Earps The first time three women have won #SPOTY consecutively since the 1960s 👏


Pinch yourselves because oh wow what a moment! Years of women’s goalkeeping being ridiculed…& just as many years watching (mainly) male winners at #SPOTY. Then along comes Mary Earps. Stellar in goal, and everywhere else 💃🏻🏆🦁 A golden era for women’s sport, we love to see it.

The 2023 BBC Sports Personality of the Year is MARY EARPS!! 👏 👏 #BBCSPOTY

Really interesting development in the growth of the game. A lot of investors hovering and trying to work out where to invest in the women’s game. Michelle strikes first and adds @LC_Lionesses to her global portfolio

@Anna_Kessel been trying to buy our daughter an England Women’s shirt,Mead 7, medium 137-147 cm, home or away for Christmas.All the big retailers are out of stock and can’t say when or even if they will restock before Christmas. It shouldn’t be this hard to buy a replica shirt



Such an important read, reflecting important connection and dialogue. Thank you @RemonaAly, your article gave me hope today. ❤️

The footage of Spain's national team effectively being forced to show up for camp is seriously troubling. The WORLD CHAMPIONS threatened with legal action from their own federation - after a month of awful developments, it gets worse. So messed up, so humiliating.

This is an absolutely harrowing read, but I urge everyone to read it in full. So much respect for @RosamundUrwin, @char_wace and @pmorganbentley for getting such a difficult story over the line. And so much respect for everyone who shared their stories thetimes.co.uk/article/russel…

Here, at last, is the result of an investigation which began in 2019. Of the many bits that will shock you, it is this line that has been a worm in my brain: "Brand, then 30, sent a car to her secondary school to take her out of lessons and to his home, she says." She was 16
