Available for over a year

A women's football club in Islington for Chinese women living in London, say they were victims of a hate crime last weekend, when a group of teenagers approached them. Screamer Alliance FC told the BBC they were playing when the group shouted racist slurs and kicked balls at them. The club posted about it online and have since received lots of support, including from London FA. Despite all this, the team remain defiant and don't want this to deter other women from playing. BBC Radio London's Aaron Paul and Gem O'Reilly have the story.
