POOLE'S Lucy Cooper made her international debut with an outing for England under-15 Schoolgirls last month.
Taking on the Independent Schools' FA at Charterhouse School in Surrey, Cooper and her England team-mates earned a 2-2 draw.
ESFA took the lead twice through Megan Sofield and Poppy Pritchard, but ISFA pegged them back twice for a share of the spoils.
"We are delighted at the strong start the England U15 Schoolgirls have made to their International season in 2020," said ESFA chairman Phil Harding.
"The team went on to give a great performance on the pitch and we look forward to the rest of the season following the girls’ journey."
Next up for the squad is a trip to PSV Eindhoven in Holland for a training camp ahead of competitive fixtures in the Bob Docherty Cup in April.
