Running up the hill

Saturday on the field was a great advert for girls football. Fantastic early Autumn sunshine, nicely cut pitches and three games. The. U12s won with a last minute goal, the u14s were
were outstanding beating Manor who never ever gave up and the U16s played heroically despite only having 5 players against the might of Upton's 7.

Without Kiera and Emma it was always going to be tough against a full strength Upton side, but with Upton also playing 7 and having the benefit of subs, well it was just an impossible task. The girls though applied themselves really well, with player of the match Lucie outstanding in goal. Lily was excellent in defence, Ellie made some great tackles and runs. Rebecca ran her socks off covering so much ground and Annaliese was good in the difficult midfield and was so unlucky not to get on the score sheet.

We know we have many visitors to this website beyond those connected to AFC Waverton.  Perhaps they might like to come down to The Queens Field and see for themselves the passion, the spirit, the sportsmanship  and love of football shown by 20 plus girls from Waverton every Saturday morning, whether they are winning or losing.
