The image showcases an exhilarating match between Rheims and Lyons in the Women's Professional Football League of France, which took place on April 17th, 1974. The focus of the picture is Rose Reilly, a talented young player hailing from Stewart, Ayrshire. At just 19 years old, she demonstrates her incredible athleticism as she leaps gracefully into the air to contest for the ball. Alongside her is Edna Neillis from Glasgow, who also impressed during their successful trial for Rheims by scoring four goals between them. This photograph not only captures a thrilling action-packed moment but also symbolizes a significant step forward for women in sports during that era. It highlights their determination and skill while challenging societal norms surrounding gender roles within professional athletics.
