Women鈥檚 sport has seen a massive surge in public interest after numerous successes in several sports including cricket, tennis, hockey and football. This evening the England footballers are in the semi-final of the Women鈥檚 European Championship, as they take on host nation the Netherlands.

Jennie Price, chief executive of Sport England, says now young girls see iconic sports moments and think "this is really exciting and is something I can do" and Chelsea and England footballer Claire Rafferty says the "formula for raising the profile of the game" is simple - just be better than the men.
