Speaking after last night’s historic Women’s Euro 2022 win, Cllr Mark Hunter, Leader of Stockport Council and of the Liberal Democrats at Stockport Town Hall, said: “What an amazing and truly historic performance by England’s Lionesses to beat Germany in the final of the Women’s Euro 2022 tournament. The spirit they showed throughout is an inspiration to all and it was great to see some of the stars of our local teams contributing to this win. I hope this performance enthuses girls and young women to participate in sport, particularly football.
“I’m sure all our hearts sank as Germany equalised and forced extra time but the Lionesses then won in extra time, saving us all the stress of yet another penalty shoot-out against our oldest rivals. Let’s look forward to the Women’s World Cup, being held ‘down under’ for the first time next year.”
