"GB women in great shape for Maccabiah medal push," says Duke

Co-managed by Trevor Racke and Arthur Duke, the squad is made up of players who have represented GB at other Maccabiah Games and JCC Maccabi Games in the USA.

Racke said, “It’s been a long journey so far, but we have achieved our goal of selecting a strong squad who are super passionate, talented and dedicated.

“We all share the same dream to make our mark in Israel this summer and with the experience of some of our ladies who have already competed at other Maccabiah Games, we firmly believe we have a real chance of challenging against the best Jewish female footballers from across the globe and come home with a medal.”

Duke recently led Maccabi Lions Masters to the double and he believes the “input of”  coaches Chris Ramsay (QPR and formerly Tottenham) and Scott Bloom (Arsenal Development Squad) and the fitness work of Phil Turner will benefit the players.
