Chatham Town Women’s boss Keith Boanas enjoyed international success alongside the MK Dons manager last week - but they go head-to-head this Sunday.

Boanas led the England Colleges FA to success at the annual tournament in Italy, bringing home the trophy with a 3-0 win over Lithuania. Dons boss Charlie Bill is the ECFA Women’s national team assistant coach.

Chats return to FA Women’s National League South action at the Bauvill Stadium against Milton Keynes Dons with their survival chances all but over following defeat to Billericay Town last time out.

However Boanas will be looking to get the better of his international assistant this weekend and said: “We worked together for a week and he is a good lad, a former student.

“It’s a fantastic experience with a week in Rome and they get to wear the Three Lions.

“It is a good project and part of the England pathway. We are volunteers but have a passion for developing players and that’s why we do it.

“Everywhere I go there are former students and it adds an edge as they enjoy beating me but that is my problem, not our players’ problem.”

Chats are 10 points from safety with six league games to play. Following the match against mid-table Milton Keynes, Boanas’ side head to bottom team London Bees on Wednesday night.
