The One with Stargazy FC

The founders of Cornwall's first LGBTQ+ inclusive football team join us for a chat.

In a way, this is a story that was made for us!

Richard Pallot and Rachel Williams are from Cornwall FA, and were thinking of ways to make the game in Cornwall more inclusive.

Little did they know that Jess Sharville was also thinking the same thing – so when their paths crossed on social media, they got talking, and Stargazy FC was born.

The club has its first training session at the end of the month – and all three of them are brilliant and passionate advocates for inclusivity in the game, as we talk about the idea behind the club; doing it in a place like Cornwall; why it’s personal for all of them to get involved with; and why they’ll soon be open for business for other teams that may want to have a match this summer!
