AFC Bournemouth player named the world's best beach footballer

An international beach footballer from Hampshire has been named the world's best.

Molly Clark, 30, who plays for AFC Bournemouth, was given the award at a ceremony in Dubai - then flew back to the UK and played a match the next day.

Previously a runner-up in the Beach Soccer Worldwide prize in 2018, she has represented Great Britain and England.

"When I heard my name being called out, I kind of had to pinch myself. I was shaking like a leaf," she said.

The AFC Bournemouth player had been named on a shortlist of 30 of the world's best women beach footballers.
