Hope your thumb returns to a normal shape and colour soon Lucie but keep scoring like that and you can stay out of goal for now.
We found out by email on Tuesday eve that the League have decided to give us a fixture this Saturday (18 Feb) away at Irby. We don't think it is right that the League can just drop this in at short notice when girls (and the coach) have made arrangements as this Sat has been down as a free week ever since the fixtures came out. We will struggle to put out a team at this short notice given it is half term plus Mike can't go. Consequently we will tell the League that we cannot fulfil the fixture at this short notice. Expect points deduction and fine.
We've reached half term with only having played five matches since the last half term in October. Unbelievable really, partly due to non-availability and a smaller league, but mainly due to the weather. We do not have any league matches on the horizon either, although our calculations are that we have to play Irby twice and Birkenhead twice. Maybe we might get those played before June.
Even our attempts to get a small sided friendly sorted for this Saturday came unstuck with both Upton and Irby having to decline. Thanks anyway to Sophie, Cara, Lily, Kiera, Annalise, Ellie M and Olivia for making yourselves available for this game.
We have a friendly against Bolton Wanderers in March, with the weather surely having to have improved before the first weekend of the month, when we are scheduled to make the trip to Lancashire. That will be a joint team with Irby and the girls who confirmed are:
Laura, Lily, Kiera (if Sat), Lucie, Cara, Olivia (if Sat), Ellie M, Sophie, Emma and Annalise.
Irby will provide 5 0r 6 girls making a potential squad of 17 for an 11 a side. That will give us 6 subs. However Irby's availability is more to Sunday as is Bolton's so our squad will not be as big as it could be. I will put other girls on the reserve list but have to give preference to those who have confirmed already as it would be unfair to the Irby girls who we asked to make up our shortfall based upon not having enough Waverton girls for 11 a side if we now said we don't need them. They will also bring some strength to the 11 on the field.

We will have a training session on Sat Feb 25 at Waverton to practice for the Bolton game. Attendance is required for all the Bolton squad.
Training will take place this Tuesday for those girls who are around. Cara and Lucie are receiving goalkeeping training from John Danby, Chester FCs brilliant keeper, over half term.
We have asked everyone if they wish to continue with training on Tuesdays as the next £10 will be due on 21 Feb to cover 5 weeks to end of March. Only four girls have said yes and none have said no. I presume this means everyone is happy so am expecting £10 from each girl on Feb 21.
Annaliese has been training with us for a few weeks and now is going to join the club. This is good news as Annaliese is an experienced player who is very keen to get some games in. This will bring the squad to a record 14 players.
Have a good half term. Keep fit.
