Crewe Alex game off

Sunday's game v Crewe Alexandra has been postponed due a lack of players on our side. The injuries sustained in last weeks game have taken their toll.

There will be a meeting of parents and girls this Sunday at 7:30 in the Ring of Bells Christleton.

First home game today

The weather is excellent for our first home game of the season. We are playing Macclesfield.  Meet at Waverton at 1:30. Help with setting up from parents etc would be appreciated.

Training tonight

Thanks to everyone who responded about training times. It seems most of are not too inconvenienced by the later slot we have been allocated although for Kenzie it's difficult of course and two other girls have expressed concern about impact on getting to bed/sleep.

We are actively trying to get an earlier slot and will keep you updated but training will be 8:30-9:30 tonight. We have a special guest tonight, Liverpool Ladies FC keeper Sian Binks, who will be coaching our female keepers. Lets make her welcome.

Game v Crossfield - Sunday 15 Sept

This Sunday we play Crossfield, from Warrington.

The game will kick off at 2pm but please meet there by 1:30. This is important although this week we hope not to have to deal with an injured goalkeeper before kick off!

Mike is away doing his FA Level 2 qualification so John Riste is in charge. Please bring your own drinks and remove jewellery. Wear shin pads of course.

We will play 442 as last week.

The team is:

Goalkeeper: Lucie
Back 4 : Laura (left back), Ellie R (right back) , Ellie M (centre back) Annaliese (centre back)
Midfield : Kiera and Lily (centre mid) Rebecca and Kenzie (left and right mid)
Up front: Lauren and Courtney.

The game is at Orford Park, on the Jubilee Way pitch. It is fairly easy to find, just off the A49. If you know where Ikea is, you are heading in the right direction.

Directions from Chester are to go M56 to the Warrington junction at Daresbury (J11). Take the road into Warrington and head through the town centre on the A49 Winwick road towards Wigan/Ikea etc. Go under a railway bridge. Go past the Warrington Wolves ground and Tesco on the left (and a great climbing centre in the former church next door on the left) and keep going. You will soon see a big new Decathlon store on the right. Turn right down that road in front of it (Jubilee Way) and the pitch is down at the end at the back of the centre. Col from Crossfield will meet us and show us to our changing room. The postcode is:

Jubilee Way, Orford, Warrington, Cheshire WA2 8HE 

Well done everyone

History made today with the first ever u18s Waverton side kicking off the season. The game at Frodsham was a tough affair. 90 mins of hard football on a big pitch. Our girls tired but had done so well with the first 30 minutes being 0-0 and even stuff and then coming straight back after conceding and holding it at 1-1. They scored just before half time and then got two further goals in the second half to make the final score 4-1.

With Lucie injuring her toe in the warm up and Kiera, Lily and Emma all taking knocks, it was a tough afternoon. The girls who played out of normal position Laura at left back and Annaliese at centre back played really well and Rebecca impressed in the space she had down the left wing. Kenzie, Lauren, Courteny and Ellie all played really well too.

History in the making!

A new era, female youth football at Waverton, begins at Frodsham tomorrow. Waverton's first ever u18 girls team plays its first match.

Our first game in the new Cheshire u18 league is at 2pm at the Saltworks Farm pitches on Ship Street, Frodsham on Sunday.

Players are requested to meet at the ground at 1:20. Please don't be late as we have to have a chat about the game, have a decent warm up ready to kick off at 2.

Remember the game is 45 minutes each way, that is 90 minutes in total.

We have 11 players who have confirmed availability.

Lucie, Ellie, Emma, Kiera, Rebecca, Annaliese, Kenzie, Courtney, Lauren, Laura.

Directions to the Saltworks

Coming into Frodsham from the Helsby side. Go down the main street to the lights (the pub on the left is called the Bears Paw, otherwise known in Frodsham as the Beer's poor). Just after the lights, opposite Morrisons on the right, turn left down Ship Street. Follow this road round and the pitch is down at the end on the left, between Ship Street and the motorway. Its called Saltworks Farm. Postcode is WA6 7NW

We met with our kit supplier today. We have shortlisted 4 kits, 2 Nike, 2 Adidas. We will discuss the girls and agree sizings, so we can order in the week. We are also looking at rain jackets for the girls too.

Training this Wed at Christleton - 8pm

CONFIRMED TIME AT CHRISTLETON - 8PM

This week sees us move to the new 3G pitch at Christleton for our winter training. We hope this will be a better surface than we had at Old Hall last season. Well we know it is, its a top quality surface which should really help us train under floodlights.

The u14, u16 and u18s girls are all training on this pitch on a Wednesday with staggered times. The whole club has age groups there so the full size pitch will be divided into 3 and the club has agreed to put the younger age groups on earlier and end with the older ones.

We are waiting confirmation of the time of our slot for this Wednesday and we will put here on Tues at the latest.

NO METAL STUDS OR METAL BLADES ALLOWED. ONLY PLASTIC OR RUBBER STUDS OR TRAINERS ALLOWED. THIS IS A STRICT RULE.
