Rutherford: Palace have given me the opportunity to play with freedom

On November 17th, Crystal Palace [Women] will welcome London City Lionesses for a league clash that falls on the FA's Women's Weekend initiative, which is set to be another landmark moment in the growing popularity of the women’s game.

The weekend falls during the men’s international break. Therefore, Eagles missing the Selhurst Park buzz that weekend can get their red and blue stripes of south London fix by heading down to Hayes Lane, the home of Bromley FC, to see how our women's team fare in their 2pm kick-off.

The Crystal Palace programme caught up with one of the team's new summer signings, Ella Rutherford, earlier in the season, with the England U19 international joining on loan from Women's Super League, Bristol City, on Deadline Day.
