Rhian Wilkinson's Official Website

Welcome to my website. Since 1st March 2006 , when we started

the site we have received over 76,800 hits. Thank you. There is a real demand for news on the National Women's Team.

I have played soccer since I was 5 years old, and have been fortunate to play for some excellent teams from around the world. I will provide regular news, not just about what is happening in Canadian soccer, but insights into what it means to be a woman soccer player in the Canadian Soccer Association and playing in FIFA World Cups and at the Olympic Games.

I have written over 275 journals and articles on this site about my early soccer years in Quebec Soccer, my NCAA soccer career with the Lady Vols of the University of Tennessee, the W. League's Ottawa Fury and Norway's Team Strommen of the Topserrien league. Please let me know if there is other news you would like to see on my site, and please keep visiting as often as possible.

THE NORTH OF ENGLAND       26th November 2008

First and foremost, I want to wish Amy Vermulen a very happy 25th birthday, and right after that I want to send a huge congratulations to Amber Vermulen who gave birth to a little boy on the 26th. I don't think Amy could have asked for a better birthday present than a brand new nephew.

We have had a busy few days, although in retrospect nothing was as hectic as our first week in Ireland. We did of course, have a great time in Scotland as well, but we were excited to reach Hadrian's Wall in England, and a return to our hikes. The drive from Glasgow was a simple one and we were thrilled to find exactly what we had envisaged as our ideal farm hostel    READ MORE
