Fixtures/training

Training this week will be Wednesday, 7:30 - 8:30 on the field. Work and leisure commitments mean that both Tue and Thur are out this week, so apologies for the inconsistent pattern.

The League has published the Sept fixtures. We start the season at home to Irby (poss 11am ko), and are then away (15 Sept) to Birkenhead at the Delph,  then home (22 Sept) to Upton, then away (29 Sept) at Greenleas.

They have a super new website too - www.wjfl.co.uk and its much improved from the old one.

So not long to go now before we are back in action!

The season starts (very) soon!

Refreshed by holidays and motivated by the Olympics? The Ladies football was excellent. It was a shame that the GB Ladies could not repeat their form against Brazil in the quarter final. No surprise to see the USA win. Great to see so many spectators including a world record crowd for a womens game for the final at Wembley. Generally the Olympics were fantastic and hope you have your favourite moments and stars. For some reason, the girls in our house were all hooked on watching the diving or rather the divers mainly Tom Daley.

The League season kicks off on Saturday September 8, although we don't know who are where we are playing yet. We have 7 players now registered with one to complete - Lucie, Ellie, Emma, Kiera, Lily, Rebecca, Caitlin and Annaliese.

We hope to have a friendly game before then, possibly Saturday September 1.

We are going to have to move the first pre season training session from this Tuesday 21 August to Thursday 23 August. 7:30 on the field, for those who can make it.

We think we have lost the booking for our Winter training session at Northgate Arena. The manager told us she had reserved the slot for us, but when we came to sort out the paperwork, it appears that it has been allocated to somebody else. We will await any developments. However, Old Hall Leisure have come to the rescue and we have got a place on their Astro pitch on Wednesday evenings from 7pm to 8pm Oct to April.

Looking forward to the season.

Last training fail

An overturned tanker on the m56 put an end to the final training session tonight as both Mike and girls were stuck in the ensuing chaos around Chester. Anyway thanks to everyone for sorting out the Registration forms. We can now enter a team in the Wallasey League for 2012/13, with our first game being Sat 8 September. Thanks to everyone for a really good season and some great laughs and some excellent football. We'll say goodbye for now to Sophie and maybe Laura, Cara and Olivia although all four are welcome back in August to train with us for the season. Sophie has signed for Chester FC Ladies as part of our new partnership. More about that soon. All four have you have been great to coach and have played a great part in the wonderful spirit of the squad this year. We have already welcomed Rebecca and she is a big part of our plans for the coming season. We"ll have a break until Tue 21 August 7:30 on the field. Have a great holiday and keep fit.

Final training session this Tue

The final training session of the season will be this Tuesday at Waverton 7:30. Pre season training will start on Tue 21 August, 7:30 at Waverton. Updates throughout the holidays on here and continuous information also on Twitter. @afcwaverton. All of the girls have Twitter accounts. Why follow Justin Bieber and not Waverton girls? Madness.

Training is Wednesday this week

Training has been moved to Wednesday this week, same time, same place. Hope you can make it. For those girls playing in the u16 next season we will need 2 passport photos ASAP and definitely before end of school term. This applies to: Emma, Ellie, Lily, Caitlin, Lucie, Kiera, Annaliese and Rebecca. Hopefully Kate too!
