Emma Hunter- had never played football before and ended up playing 90 minutes every game as the team goalkeeper. 鈥淲hen I came to university I didn鈥檛 think I would be able to join a team as there wasn鈥檛 a rugby team but the girls took me under their wing and encouraged me so even though I鈥檝e never played football before I was able to join a team and feel completely accepted and I know I could go to them whether it be for advice on uni work or just general life help, I know I could always go to them. Without my team, my time at Bedford would look so different.鈥
