A Whitehaven girl will lead the teams out for the Women’s FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Holly Kitchen, 10, of Hillcrest Avenue, is one of the lucky youngsters selected to walk out with stars from either Chelsea or Arsenal ahead of the final.

Holly was picked for the privilege after entering a contest run by energy company SSE, which sponsors the competition.

She will be provided with a kit on the day and watch the players warm-up from the bench before walking out in front of what should be a huge crowd with 40,000 tickets sold for the showpiece so far.

After leading the teams out, Holly and her family will watch the game together.

Holly is a Manchester United fan and plays for her school team at Jericho Primary School, while her dad, Stephen, is a level two coach at Whitehaven Amateurs, which has a large girls section.

The match will be televised on BBC One at 5.30pm.
