Did you know that NFTO had a new interesting travel story to tell? posted: Aug 14th, 2019 It was a coincidence that a new NSL Live Talk with the British national team in 4-way Women, NFTO, followed immediately after yesterday's NSL News update, which covered the British 4-way delegation for the FAI Outdoor World Cup 2019.
