Training news Wed 23

We are waiting to assess the pitch at Old Hall before making a decision about whether we can hold training tonight. Mike is at parents eve so if it is on Steve will be in charge. We will text and tweet later.

We have a home game v Wirral Hawks on Saturday ko 11. The forecast is for warmer but wet weather by the weekend which may bring another problem, the pitch being too wet to play on. We will look by Friday. Wirral Hawks have offered to switch the game to Victoria Park if Wavertons pitch is not playable, and so our best guess is that the game is likely to be on. We will let you know. Please let Mike know ASAP about girls availability for the game, whether at home or away.

Greenleas game off

We've called the Greenleas game off, due to the bad weather. Even if it stops snowing, the forecast is for it to freeze, and even if it thaws the pitch will be too wet.

Enjoy the weekend and go easy on the snowballing.

A family affair

Excellent turn out from both the girls and the parents on Saturday for the fun game at Upton. It was great to see a few family battles going on. At one point, Kenzie had hold of her Dads' leg and Robin was determined to score against Lucie, but she was outstanding. Berry v Berry, Brooks v Brooks, Worden v Worden, Riste v Riste, all over the field there were personal challenges. Lily was playing against her mum, her dad and and her uncle!  Mike should have at least 4 free kicks due to deliberate fouls from Kiera, Caitlin and Ellie.  Great to see the girls whose parents couldn't make it turning out and giving everything too, especially Megan and Emma.

We might do it again later in the year on a nice warm day when we can have a picnic afterwards.

Training this Wednesday at Old Hall. Thanks to those who have paid Jan training subs. Game next Saturday at home to Greenleas. Mike is away, but Paul Harrison (Emmas Dad) will be in charge and make sure the pitch is set up, and look after the team. Help to set up the pitch and take it down afterwards will be appreciated.

Parents v Girls game

The parents v girls game will take place at 10am this Saturday, at Upton County Officers club.

Girls team: Lucie, Ellie, Kiera, Lily, Rebecca, Emma, Kenzie, Caitlin.
Parents team: Now that would be telling, suffice to say theres: a couple of dads, a couple of mums, a mum thinking about it, an uncle, possibly a sister, and possibly an old friend most of you know well but haven't seen in ages. (clue she can play a bit). Plus theres a few others having medical check ups.

Waverton girls please wear full kit. Parents wear what you like. No metal studs. Trainers fine.

More info on here on Friday.

Training this Wednesday, 9 Jan. 7-8 at Old Hall.

Subs for the month will be due, so please bring £10. The cost of the training this season has been £250 for which we collected £140 from the girls, leaving a gap of £110 which will be met by the Club.

The club has also paid out £75 for the referees fees for the u16s so far this season.

We need however to get the club subscriptions in. It's due to an oversight on our part that we've not asked you for these earlier. It will be £77 for the girls who have been here all season, a reduced rate for Meg and Kenzie. We will get these forms to you this week.

This Saturday, we have no league game and we are proposing to have a short girls v parents game this Saturday morning. Thats a short game not a game for short girls.  Who's up for it then? Come on Dads and Mums show your daughters how good and fit you used to be are.

Plastic Fantastic

AFC Waverton v Birkenhead

Good workout today in the friendly at home to Birkenhead. Though the score was 3-1 for the visitors the Waverton girls played well considering it was on astro and the first exercise since before Christmas. Great display by Lucie in goal and a fantastic first Waverton goal for Kenzie.
