An extract from the poem by Sarah McCreadie
We are here
Fire and waves
and football
forged
this mountain peak
Y daith did not begin with four Cymru goals
it began when these menywod hanesyddol were
girls in baggy kits
who dared kick a ball for the first time
and it began with our first steps of 1973
and it began with the rebel girls of P.E.
To the child she was
Rhiannon says believe
We have scaled these ancient rocks
this untread path
wrote our own map
the wind will carry through generations
Each goal a summit step
gave our bodies for the apex
hearts pounding under red shirts
finding infinity in the embers of 90 minutes
to be the first to stand on mountaintop
Do not measure us in anything
but each step we have taken in studded boots
and bucket hats
