Darcie, 13, from Cwmbran in Torfaen has been playing football since she was eight. "I want to play football, and I don't want someone to criticise me," she said. She said she had asked to play football in school but had met some opposition. "I think it is wrong that people criticise girls for playing football because it is something they want to do and they love."
