The boys done good, the girls done better.

Greenleas 5 - AFC Waverton 3

Entertaining game at a windy St Georges this morning saw the home side claim the points after coming back from 2-0 down. Waverton continued the excellent form of last week against Upton and went 2-0 up in the first half through a brilliant Kiera looping shot for the first and a solid low Caitlin shot for the second. On the stroke of half time the home side got a goal back and then got the advantage in the second half. Waverton got one back again through Kiera but the visitors got the fifth leaving too much for our girls to do in the last 10, despite the efforts of Kiera, Emma and Caitlin who all went close. A good performance against a good side. Some learning points to come out of it and none less so to learn just how good Ellie Mageean is.

More detailed report to follow.

MOM for us , Cara, and for Greenleas - Jade Gilbert.

Greenleas away this Saturday

Directions on here on Friday eve. Anybody need a lift tel/text Mike 07901552261 or leave comment below.

Anyway where does everyone want to go on the Christmas night out?

Take M53 to Junction 1. Head off left down slip road and at roundabout take first exit to Wallasey following signs A554 to New Brighton and Wallasey. Keep on this dual carriageway and ignore turn offs for Leasowe and for Wallasey. Keep on this road as it goes into a single carriageway and into the housing area of New Brighton. You will go past a big church on the right and then soon after turn right into Harrison Drive. Follow this for 200 yards and then turn left into Grove Road (there are some car showrooms at this junction). Keep on this road past the Nelson Pub on the right and just past a park on the right turn right into Claremount Road. St Georges School is 200 yards on the left. Park on this road or in Lyndhurst Avenue just before the school. If you go past the church on the right you've gone too far. The field is at the back of the school.

The logic of the league rules

The Wallasey League have tonight told our representative at the League meeting that they don't like us passing comment on our website about their levying of fines for giving a months notice that we couldn't play a game that if we had played we would have been fined anyway as the registered coach couldn't make it and that is against the rules which incurs a fine.

They have also told us that they will on principle fine us for giving less than a months notice that we cannot make a game. It's now 21 November and fixtures have not been published for December 3, 10, or 17, all less than a month away. Just talk us through that again.

They have also said that if we fail to attend one of the monthly meetings will be fined £15 to cover administrative costs. These are the administrative costs of posting out the agenda and minutes of the previous meetings minutes and the agenda for the meeting we just missed. The Chairman of the League says it is an FA rule that these are sent out in paper form not by email. They won't send though send out the agendas in advance though by post or email. We have only missed one meeting this season but still get charged an admin fee.

So gentlemen of the League, we won't pass any further comment. Well not this week.

That's more like it

Upton 4 - AFC Waverton 1

A great performance from our girls today at Overchurch School, in this switched fixture against Upton.

A great opening 20 minutes saw the away team dominate but go behind. Lily and Emma had great chances to not only equalise but take the lead, but unfortunately the shots weren't just strong enough to beat the experienced 'keeper. Ellie Mageean returned to the defence and was outstanding. Kiera played up front and Laura, Lauren, Lily and Emma took control of midfield. Ellie R and Sophie also kept switching around at the back.

A very good performance against 2 nearly completely different sides. There was great passing and movement and an excellent determination to do well. Much improved from the last two games, so excellent stuff girls and well done to Emma for a brilliant goal and player of the match award.

Report to follow.

Training as normal this Tuesday.

Upton now away on Saturday

As agreed with parents we have agreed to switch the game tomorrow to Upton's ground. Same ko, 11:00. Please meet at 10:40, some of our own parents and girls have to be away by just after 12 so we need to ko on time and therefore we need to. E there to warm up on time. The two Ellies need lifts, presumably everybody else is sorted. I have no apologies except Olivia, so expect a full turnout

Directions to Overchurch school below, but most of you will have been there recently.

Take M53 to J2 go briefly along the spur (known as the Moreton spur) and take first slip off it, up to the junction, turn left and Overchurch School is about 1/4 mile on the left hand side. Park at the back of the school.

Wallasey Game off

Just in case of doubt, the game on Saturday v Wallasey Wanderers at The Delph is off. The reason is that Mike is away and the League won't allow us to go without the registered coach. We got fined and warned for this once before so are not taking any chances. We love this League.


Training as usual on Tuesday. 8pm at Northgate. Make sure you bring a drink and go to the loo before you come. Last week was like being at an incontinence convention.

Training this Tuesday

Training takes place again this Tuesday at 8 pm at Northgate. Definitely on this week. If travelling through the Sainsburys roundabout please add 30 mins to your journey. I got stuck in there today and thought I'd never get out.

Lets have a good session and forget about last Saturday v Birkenhead. We should have got more out of the game but hey ho, that's how things go.

The game away at Wallasey Wanderers on Saturday is very likely to be off. Mike is away on a scouting mission in London and the League will not allow the team to play without the registered coach. Last time this happened we sent Simon Mageean (CRB/Chester League registered coach) to look after the side, we got fined and told off big style by the League, so this time we gave them a months notice and they still want to fine us for calling the game off. So we are fined if we play, fined if we don't. What a wonderful League this is. Don't forget to get those club subscriptions paid, we need to pay the Wallasey League its fines!
