Reading Women are deep into pre season training ahead of the FA WSL Spring Series with the camera’s trained on the ladies during a session at the Madejski Stadium dome on Friday.

Unfortunately for Royals captain Kirsty McGee that meant the unfortunate clip below of her tripping and falling at the end of a flawless fitness circuit.
