Casey Stoney believes she has had two of her best seasons since her twins - Teddy and Tilly - were born 18 months ago, despite surviving on five hours sleep a night. But the 34-year-old, who is endorsing the McDonalds Football Mum of the Year Award to be presented by Coleen Rooney, says she worries about the sporting prospects her children face once they get into primary school.Stoneys partner, Megan Harris, gave birth in November 2014 and the Arsenal ladies defender says she cannot wait to become a football mum herself after being inspired by her own, who sacrificed so much to make sure she could play the game. But Stoney is calling for specialist PE teachers in primary schools after being stunned by what she has seen in her coaching work around the country. Stoney (right) returned to Arsenal after spells with Charlton, Chelsea and Lincoln The reason I got involved with this award is because mums are so important and my mum was massively important for me playing football when I was a kid, she told Sky Sports News HQ.She sacrificed so much of her own time and money so that I could play. Mums are a prevalent force in the game, not just taking kids to training, washing kits and cheering them on, but becoming coaches and managers and working in the background.My mum was actually one of the first. She took over one of my old teams when I left - a little league side called the Blue Arrows - she really enjoyed it. She said she didnt really know what she was doing, she needed my help a bit, but said she was standing on the side-lines anyway, so why not?Ive been a mum for 18 months now - its fantastic - but I have to juggle work and parenting. Theyve motivated me and Ive probably had two of my best seasons despite getting only five hours of sleep a night. Stoney is a Sky Sports athlete mentor and does coaching work in schools I hope I dont force them to play football when theyre old enough but as long as they get involved in sport Ill be happy. Ive always thought about the sport that kids do in schools and I do a lot of coaching in schools myself, and kids dont do enough PE.Its also about the quality of PE and whether theyre enjoying it. A lot of kids walk away from school with bad experiences and are put off sport for life. Ive been into a lot of primary schools and I feel sorry for the teachers. Theyre not specialists and have to juggle it with other subjects.We need specialists. Kids absolutely love PE and this carries on into sport outside school. Theres a lot of hard work to do on this.The McDonalds Football Mum of the Year Award offers individuals the opportunity to honour and recognise mums across the UK who selflessly dedicate their time to prioritising grassroots football for their children and others in their local area. Each of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will have their own winner from which a national UK Football Mum of the Year will be chosen and presented by Coleen Rooney.

Pedroia reached the milestone with a little panache, hitting a grand slam in the sixth inning and propelling the Boston Red Sox to a 7-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. "I was pretty excited to hit a home run. Its been a while," said Pedroia, who had gone 160 at-bats without one. The skid ended when the Red Sox truly needed it, clinging to a 2-1 lead on a night when both clubs were failing to drive in runs. Pedroia drove an 0-2 pitch out to left field in the sixth inning for his second career grand slam and first homer since Sept. 17. "Honestly, I was just trying to drive one run in," Pedroia said. "As a team, weve been scuffling a little bit with guys on." The grand slam put Boston up 6-1 and the cushion was plenty for Clay Buchholz (2-2), who shut down the team with the top record in the American League. Buchholz pitched 6 1-3 innings, allowing one run on three hits and striking out five. He walked three and got himself out of several jams as the As left five on base and were 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position against Buchholz. "We hit some balls hard. We hit a lot of balls hard, actually -- right at people and then didnt get some hits when we did have some guys on base," Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. John Jaso scored Oaklands only run, coming in on a wild pitch after leading off the third with a triple. Boston was having its own struggles with runners on before Pedroia came through in the sixth off of reliever Ryan Cook. Xander Bogaerts and A.J. Pierzynski started the sixth with back-to-back singles off Dan Otero, who began the inning. Otero struck out Will Middlebrooks, then walked Bradley to load the bases with one out. Cook relieved Otero and got Pedroia down 0-2, before he cleared the bases with a shot that just cleared the Green Monster. As manager Bob Melvin challenged whether thhe ball cleared the yellow line before a fan touched it and lost the appeal.dddddddddddd The milestone homer put him in elite Red Sox company as only the second player in franchise history with 100 home runs and 100 stolen bases. Pedroia, who stole his 121st career base in the first inning, joins Carl Yastrzemski (452 home runs, 168 steals). "They told me that after the game. Thats crazy," Pedroia said. "I guess Im getting old. But just having your name anywhere said with his is an accomplishment." Boston hadnt scored since getting a pair of runs in the second inning off starter Dan Straily (1-2). Grady Sizemore led off with a double and scored on Pierzynskis single with one out. Jackie Bradley Jr. added a two-out double to drive in Pierzynski and Boston led 2-0. Straily pitched 4 1-3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits. He struck out three and walked three. "I felt like every single time, every batter I was behind 2-0. Thats just not the way to pitch," Straily said. "Its just a frustrating day." Bradley ended a potential rally for the As in the eighth with a leaping catch at the centre field wall, then hitting Pedroia with a strong relay throw. Pedroia threw to Mike Napoli as Josh Donaldson scrambled to get back after rounding second before seeing Bradley make the catch. Notes: The series continues Saturday afternoon with Boston LHP Jon Lester (2-4) scheduled to face Oakland lefty Tommy Milone (0-2). .. Oakland played its first game in May after tying the franchise record for wins in April at 18-9. ... Buchholz allowed 12 runs on 20 hits over 6 2-3 innings in his first two starts at Fenway Park this season. ... Boston rookie SS Xander Bogaerts has reached safely in 14 straight games. ... Boston C A.J. Pierzynski was played his 1,700th career game behind the plate. ... Pedroia could catch Yastrzemskis steal total of 168, but Yazs 452 homers are probably out of reach for Bostons pesky second baseman. ' ' '
