Hope Powell has made history by becoming the first-ever female winner of the League Managers’ Association Performance of the Week for Brighton’s 2-1 win at Chelsea.
The League Managers Association’s panel, comprising LMA Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Dave Bassett, Barry Fry Paul Ince and Rachel Yankey, selected Hope after Albion ended Chelsea’s 33-game unbeaten record in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League, which stretched back two years, thanks to goals from Aileen Whelan and Megan Connolly.
BRIGHTON and Hove Albion is providing more than 100 laptops to schoolchildren to help them with home learning during the Covid lockdown. The football club has pledged £25,000 through its Albion As One fund to pay for computers so pupils can log on for lessons, with additional support from the club s IT supplier Focus Group. The club s official charity, Albion in the Community (AITC), is already supporting schools and will manage the roll-out of the equipment, working in areas where it is most needed. Club captain Lewis Dunk said: When we set up the fund last spring, this was exactly the sort of help we wanted to give – to those local people who have supported the club to help it achieve everything it has in recent years.
