It’s also Black History Month in Ireland, so why not post a photo of Athlone Town’s Jamaican captain, Izzy Groves, leading her team in celebration as she lifted the Irish Women’s Premier Division trophy last Saturday — and another of her sharing a quiet moment with said trophy afterwards.

Take a bow, Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw. What a performance for Manchester City today, scoring a goal and helping to set up the other two for a hard-fought win over Arsenal. She was as awesome in defence as she was in attack, always running back to help, and making key clearances at the back. Brilliant.

Great to see these three reunited for the Liga MX Femenil All-Stars against Barcelona tonight: Deneisha Blackwood (Cruz Azul, left), Stephanie Ribeiro (Pumas, center), and Aerial Chavarin (Cruz Azul, right). They were one of the best attacking trios in the league when they were together at Pumas.
