The games may be over but there are still bits and bobs left before we pack our boots away for our Summer holidays. Thanks to those girls who came down to training on 31 May, we had a good session. Thanks to the parents too who came down to Parents Evening on Mon 30 May.
The next few weeks look like this:
Tue June 12 - Skills training 1- Waverton - 7:30-8:30
Sun June 17 - England Women v Holland Women - Salford 5:15 (free tickets and transport if anyone is interested)
Tue June 19 - Skills training 2 - Waverton - 7:30-8:30
Tue June 26 - Night off - England are playing!
Tue July 3 - Girls v Mums and Dads - Waverton 7:30 - 8:30
Wed July 4 - Pizza and Presentations - our annual end of season do at the Ring of Bells. Girls meet at 7:00. Parents welcome at 8:20.
There has been a mixed response to our idea about a day out. Of the 5 who got back to us, there was a mix of available dates. After discussing it at parents evening we therefore have decided to not organise anything. If anybody wants to take on the task of organising it though, let Mike know.
Most of you have now discussed with Mike what your plans are and what our plans are for next season. We need to make decisions re our u18 and u16 players. The time is running out and we need to get the girls who are staying all signed up.

End of season arrangements
The end of the season is on us. We played our last game against Upton last Saturday and having only being able to get 6 players for the Blackpool tournament, the game at Overchurch was the last competitive action of the season. We have scoured the tournament database for the the Uk and cannot find any tournaments for u16 girls in the north or midlands in June. If we find one, we'll let you know.
The end of season is starting to look like this. We said last Tuesday 15th was the end of the training but we know some of the girls want to carry on. We also know that some have exams. What we will do therefore is have a final general training session on Tuesday 29 May at 7:30 on the field, then break for the Bank Holiday and run some dedicated skills sessions on Tuesdays in June. These will be Tuesday 12, 19 and 26 June. We will then call it a day for the season. These skills sessions will only be for those girls who are 100% up for it and would be a smaller group. One hour of no mobiles, no chatting and no trying to train with hands in your pocket. It's listen and learn.
We also need to speak to all parents about next season. We are suggesting holding two meetings with parents hopefully finding one convenient. These are:
Thursday 24 May - 8:00-9:00 at the Ring of Bells or
Monday 28 May 8:00- 9:00 at the Ring of Bells
Could parents let Mike know if they can make either of these two dates? If not suitable can parents let Mike know when would be a good time to have a conversation on the phone - 07901552261
We are also looking at a social event on either Sat 23 June, Sun 24 June Sat 30 June or Sun 1 July. Last year we went to Go Ape. This year the girls have suggested Blackpool, but it would need parents support. Please let me know asap what the girls want to do, when is convenient and whether you support.
Finally, we are going to hold a final event, our Pizza and Presentation evening on Wed July 4 at the Ring of Bells. Please put in your diary.
The only other thing we might do is a Girls v Mums/Sisters game on the field. Any takers?
That's it!

Last game of the season
Our last game of the season is a friendly away at Upton. Meet at Overchurch School in Upton at 10:40.
This is a game against what will be the Upton u16s team for next season organised especially to give a run out to the players who will be eligible to play u16s football next season for both teams.
At Waverton we only have two girls who could step up from u14 level. Lucie is away so Cara has stepped in to play in goal. Rebecca will however join us after a good season with the u14s. Sophie and Laura will represent the older girls, whilst Emma, Lily, Kiera, Ellie Riste, Annaliese and Lauren will also play.
After playing against Bolton Wanderers on Sunday and doing so well, we are expecting great things from Cara, Ellie, Lily, Emma, Sophie and Laura.
As this is the final game of the season, the Captain's armband will be worn by Sophie. Cara and Sophie have played more games than anybody else this season, 15 each. However Sophie has only missed one training session since September and Cara two. Therefore, Sophie will be our Captain.
This is one of the easiest grounds to find. To get to Overchurch School, take the M53 to J2. This is signed Hoylake and West Kirby. Take the Moreton spur off the M53 and then take the first left off the spur signed 'Upton'. Go up to the junction above the spur road, turn left and Overchurch School is about a quarter of a mile on the left hand side. Go into the playground and park.

We've seen the future Gerry, we've seen the future.
Bolton Wanderers 8 - AFC Waverton/Irby 0
Well done to all the girls who played today against Bolton Wanderers. A good introduction to 11 a side against a very good, fit and organised Bolton side who contained older players than our team. Outdone by strength and experience at this level, but not by commitment and skill.
Well done Cara, Lily, Ellie R, Emma, Sophie and Laura and to Laura, Megan, Laurie, Hannah, Sarah, Megan, Holly and Charlotte from Irby.

Bolton - keep your fingers crossed
This is the 4th attempt to get this game played but we are still very confident that it will happen this time.
Ko will be 11 in Bolton. Meet at Christleton duck pond at 9:20 for a 9:30 departure. Come in kit. Lifts offered by Emma's dad, Ellie's dad and Cara's dad, so lots of places.
8 Irby girls will join Lily, Cara, Ellie R, Sophie, Laura and Emma to play 11v 11. Annaliese is ill and has had to pull out and Kiera is unavailable.
Wear full Waverton kit, boots, shin pads, waterproof top, bottoms (we know you don't like to wear them but don't complain to us if you are cold) and make sure your fake tan is waterproof (also applies to the girls).
The game will be played at Ainsworth Hall Road, Bolton, B12 6QU. We are told the pitch drains well so taking no chances with the weather.
Come on Waverby! or Irton? You get the picture.

Waverton girls save Frankie the kitten
With the help of two Police Officers, Emma, Lily and Laura helped save poor Frankie the kitten from a certain death on the way home from training. Poor little thing was lying in a bad way in the middle of the road between Waverton and Guilden Sutton.
