Welsh women forced to play in men’s shirts

Helen Ward revealed yesterday that the Welsh women’s national team have to wear men’s sized shirts when playing.

Ward, who plays for Reading, said that at club level they are given women’s shirts but was “disappointed” by the fact that at international level her and her teammates are forced to wear kits in men’s sizes.

“We’ll wear what we’re given but it is nice to be wearing a kit that fits and cut the right way,” Ward said.
