On the continent of Europe, soccer is the undisputed king of sports. England has the sport engrained in its culture and with a World Cup victory in 1965, which was hosted by England, that culture became recognized on the global stage.
Lancashire County lies in the Northwest of the country, and within are the towns of Preston and Blackburn. They are separated by the distance of roughly 10 miles on the A-59 and A-677 roads. Juniors Olivia "Tilly" Wilkes and Brenna McPartlan were born 63 days apart in each of those towns, respectively.
Both share a storied past that includes recognition for their talent at soccer from an early age and as the pages turned, both started chapters as Jaguars at the same time.
