Ackerman wins England call
BRIDPORT footballer Danielle Ackerman has won a call up for the England under 17 squad.
The 15-year-old Southampton Saints starlet, who is a student at Sir John Colfox School, has been invited to a four-day international training camp in Preston, Lancashire.
She received a personal letter from national women's coach Hope Powell, and will team up with 34 other squad members along with England's under 19s this Sunday.
Ackerman, who began her playing career with Bridport's Queen Bees, has made several appearances for the Saints first team and reserves this season, and is the only player at the club to be included in the England set up at this level.
