Celebrity Star Boosts Community Football Team
The Swindon Town Football Club C6 girls team recently received a much-needed boost in both morale and motivation when former Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague dropped by their training ground. This visit, which took place on Wednesday, November 19, 2024, was an unexpected but highly welcomed surprise for the girls.
Unexpected Encounters
The C6 team had been traveling to a match against West Brom when they stopped off at a motorway service station. Little did they know that this brief stop would turn into a memorable encounter with celebrity Molly-Mae Hague, who was also passing through the area.
Inspirational Visit
Despite her busy schedule, Molly-Mae took time out to chat with and inspire the girls team with an “inspirational team talk.” This interaction not only lifted their spirits but also gave them a much-needed pep talk before they went on to defeat West Brom 7-0 in their match. The STFC Community Foundation has since shared photos of Molly-Mae’s visit, describing it as “Molly-Mae’s Red & White Army.”
A spokesperson for the STFC Community Foundation commented: “After bumping into celebrity Molly-Mae, our C6 girls put in a fantastic display, beating West Brom 7-0! It must have been the inspiration team talk at the services from Molly… well done girls!” This event underscores the positive impact that such visits can have on young athletes.
Program Details and Impact
The C6 programme was launched in September 2016 as a partnership between Swindon Town Football Club and Commonweal Sixth Form. The team competes in the CEFA League, with fixtures every Wednesday. Swindon Town FC has seen an impressive performance from its C6 programme, winning eight titles and being runners-up for even more.
A spokesperson for Swindon Town added: “We’re especially delighted to be able to offer young female footballers the chance to be a part of the only Professional Football educational programme within the County of Wiltshire. We have seen an amazing standard of football on the C6 programme.”
Previous Celebrity Appearances
This isn’t Molly-Mae’s first interaction with Swindon Town or Wiltshire. In a vlog released on December 23, 2022, Molly-Mae and her partner Tommy Fury documented their “cosy weekend” in Bath, which garnered nearly two million views on YouTube. However, this visit to the C6 girls team stands out for its direct impact on the young players’ performance.
While Molly-Mae’s presence may not always align perfectly with the local community’s expectations—her 2022 vlog in Bath didn’t quite match the “rustic Wiltshire town” they had hoped for—the recent visit to Swindon Town FC offers a heartwarming story of how celebrities can make a tangible difference in young athletes’ lives.
Conclusion
The unexpected encounter between Molly-Mae Hague and the C6 girls team serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most impactful moments happen when least expected. For the Swindon Town C6 girls, this visit was more than just a chance meeting; it was an opportunity to gain confidence and perform at their best.
