Tuesday training off. Switch to Wednesday instead.

Apologies, but we have had to call off Tuesday's training. We will, for this week only, switch to Wednesday (2 May) instead. Same time, same place, 7:30 at Waverton. We know that not everyone will be able to make it, but hope to see those that can.

When you see the weather this Sunday afternoon, you will understand why we called off the Bolton game. On Thursday we were given warning of a big storm in the North West for Sunday afternoon, and we were told that the pitches were waterlogged. We are hoping to play it next Sunday (6 May), 2pm at Bolton. Cara, Lily, Emma, Ellie R, Laura and Annaliese are available. Sadly Kiera is not. Anybody else available?

For Blackpool on 26 May, we have 7 players. Tough without any subs. We'll speak to you individually before we enter. Closing date is this week.

Some good end of season football in the Premier League yesterday. Suarez' third goal was inch perfect and we were at the DW Stadium in Wigan to see 45 minutes of total football, pass and move, pass and move.

Earlier we'd been on the pitch at the Deva and spoken to keeper John Danby about coming back to Waverton to do some more goalkeeping coaching. We are also meeting Chester FC ladies tonight to see what their plans are with their new set up for next season. We'll keep you posted.

Training Tuesday/Bolton Wanderers game Sunday

Training takes place again this Tuesday, 7:30 at Waverton. Thanks to everyone for abiding by the rules last week and coming prepared. Same again this week please.

The Bolton Wanderers game will take place at New House Farm, Bolton with a 2pm ko. We will be in touch with our players regarding travel, but will need to be at their ground by 1:30 at the latest. Brush up on the 11 a side rules this week and we'll run through some at training on Tuesday. Team is Cara, Ellie R, Kiera, Sophie, Emma, Laura, Lily, and Caitlin. The other players will come from Irby making it a strong joint side.

See everyone Tuesday at 7:30.

Training resumes this Tuesday

Hope everyone has had a good Easter break.

Training resumes this Tuesday evening at Waverton at 7:30-8:30. We only want those girls to come who are 100% committed to the training as it is only an hour, takes more organisation to set up outside and some girls have said that they are not happy with having training disrupted by others continually talking. If you want to chat and we understand why you do, why not meet for a chat at 7 and then be ready to train seriously at 7:30?

  • Wear boots or football trainers if ground is hard, and bring shin pads.
  • No Converses or plimsolls
  • If you need to bring a mobile phone, leave on the side, do not bring onto the training pitch
  • No excuses of being too tired to warm up or run. If you are tired, don't come to training.
  • Bring a drink with you
  • Save the chatting for before and after training
  • Show respect to your teammates and coaches

The Blackpool tournament is on Sat 26 May. Just waiting for a commitment from everyone. Squad is: Cara, Lucie, Ellie Riste, Ellie Mageean, Lily, Annaliese, Emma, Caitlin, Laura.

We're looking at the Bolton game for weekend 28/29 April. More details to follow.
