England goalie Hannah Hampton visits former school ahead of Euros
Ms Heighway said: "She was incredibly talented across a lot of sports, she could have gone international at a lot of things. "She would play outfield against the boys, and she would run rings around every single person she came up against."It's amazing, obviously as an academy we feel incredibly proud of her journey, it's brilliant that we have this local hero.""We are all backing her here in Burntwood," she added. After her visit to the school, students said: "I didn't expect it, you wouldn't expect a professional footballer to come to this school"It's really special and we can see what our school managed to teach her and how far she got with it."The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 tournament starts on Wednesday, with England's first game on Saturday against France.

Bamber ton helps Bears avoid follow-on at Essex
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, Chelmsford (day three)Essex 602-6d: Westley 148, Allison 133, Pepper 107*; Webster 2-55Warwickshire 465-9: Bamber 107, Barnard 90*; Critchley 5-156Warwickshire (4 pts) trail Essex (6 pts) by 137 runs with one wicket remainingMatch scorecard Ethan Bamber, nominally batting as nightwatchman, enjoyed the day of his life in recording his maiden first-class century to help Warwickshire narrowly avoid following on at Matt Critchley, the main spin option in the absence of Simon Harmer, taking 5-156 from 37 overs, Ed Barnard made sure Warwickshire past the 453-run target to make Essex bat again with just number 11 batsman Oliver Hannon-Dalby for the team primarily as an opening bowler, the 26-year-old Bamber had never surpassed the 46 not out he compiled against Surrey two summers ago when with Middlesex. But he was unflustered and correct in defence and attack in remaining at the crease for nearly four hours for his crucial 107 that makes a draw on the fourth day was not overawed in a 64-run stand for the third wicket with Dan Mousley, who hit 75 from 88 balls, and 80 for the fifth-wicket with Beau Webster, whose contribution was player to relish the day was 20-year-old South Asian Cricket Academy graduate Vansh Jani, looking like an old hand and marking his county debut with 41 in a 86-run stand with Barnard, who was 90 not out when bad luck ended play at 6.54pm with Warwickshire a day shorn of seven overs by morning rain, Essex toiled with the Kookaburra ball on a benign track just as Warwickshire had on the first two days in conceding 602-6 play started 40 minutes late, Warwickshire added 29 runs in nine overs before the rain returned. Bamber, promoted up the order after Alex Davies's late dismissal the previous evening, claimed 22 of those runs, overshadowing Mousley, who had been scoring at a run-a-ball before stumps on day play resumed after the delay, Mousley increased his day's output from six runs to 14 in the first over from Porter with back-to-back straight drives for boundaries. As he rediscovered his earlier fluency and strike-rate, Mousley reverse-swept Critchley for another the left-hander lasted just two balls after lunch before he slashed wildly at Snater and was caught at first slip by Paul Walter. Next delivery, Zen Malik prodded forward tentatively, the ball caught his outside edge and he departed to the same bowler-fielder fours in the next over from Snater, one streaky between the slips and gully, the other a firm cover-drive, took Bamber first to his top score and then to confidence now flowing, Bamber pulled and swatted Noah Thain for boundaries before another pull off the same bowler brought up both Warwickshire's first batting point and the half-century partnership with was equally untroubled, going up on his toes to square-cut Snater for four and treating Cook's first delivery with the second new-ball with disdain as it raced to the extra-cover boundary. However, Cook took his revenge when digging in a short one which the Australian all-rounder followed and edged at shoulder height to second first real mis-stroke, a wild lunge outside off-stump for his 18th and final boundary, took him to three figures. But with just seven more runs added, and having faced 207 balls, he got a leading edge and gave a return catch to Smith thrashed his first two balls to the cover boundary, but he clipped his sixth to midwicket where Charlie Allison plucked the ball out of the air as it past him to give Snater a third looked like the moment for Essex to take control before Barnard and Jani collected some soft runs in their 20-over, eighth-wicket stand. The rookie all-rounder became Critchley's fourth wicket when he was lbw playing down the wrong line. Corey Rocchiccioli was number five when he patted back to the bowler before the late mini-drama as Barnard saw Warwickshire over the line.

England star Hannah Hampton opens up on health condition and turning down surgery
England football hero Hannah Hampton has spoken about her eye condition, which she underwent multiple surgeries for in her younger years England's football sensation, Hannah Hampton, has opened up about her ongoing battle with a long-term eye condition, revealing that despite multiple surgeries, her eyes are "still not straight". The Lioness goalkeeper played a pivotal role in England's recent Euros triumph, fending off numerous Spanish attempts during the penalty shoot-out. Despite suffering from strabismus - an eye condition that affects depth perception - the 24 year old has shown her mettle on the pitch. During her appearance on Good Morning Britain today, she confessed to still experiencing difficulties with her vision. Hannah disclosed that while further surgery for her eye condition is an option, she is reluctant to take the risk. This revelation comes after her triumphant Euros win, defying doctors who had previously told her she wouldn't be able to play football, reports the Mirror. In conversation with GMB's Ed Balls and Kate Garraway, Hannah elaborated: "I was born cross-eyed, I had to undergo multiple surgeries from when I was three and obviously later to correct my vision. To put my eyes straight again, to see if it would help in any way. "They're still not straight. I can go back for more operations but there's always that risk that it won't improve your eyesight. It might make it worse. It's something you've got to weigh up." When presenter Ed noted that things seem to be going rather well for the England star, she responded: "I know! So why change it if it's going well." She later revealed how medics advised her to quit football as a youngster because of her vision problems. "The doctor said I shouldn't play sports because I don't have any depth perception, which basically [means] I can't judge distances. "Which as a keeper, I don't know how it works, but my parents never really told me until I was about 12 or 13 and I was already playing sport... and they would say 'this isn't normal, you shouldn't be doing that' but my parents always said 'if it makes her happy, we're not going to stop her' and I'm glad they didn't take the doctor's advice as I managed to live out my dream." Earlier this week, the football ace disclosed that she had been coping with the devastating loss of her grandfather, who passed away just two days before the Euros kicked off. "Dear Grandpa," she posted on Instagram. "Two days before the biggest tournament of my life, you left. It still doesn't feel real. "I kept thinking when I'd call nannie I'd hear your voice again - one of your jokes, or one of those little comments you'd make that somehow said everything without saying much at all. You were one of my biggest supporters. You believed in me before I even knew what this journey would look like." She further expressed her sorrow that he wasn't able to see her debut at her first major tournament, stating: "But I know, deep down, you were still there. I felt you with me. In the tunnel. On the pitch. In the tough moments. I heard you in my head when I needed strength."
