You have made the papers!

 

Check out the Chester Standard!!

 

Team,

You have made the local paper with your stunning result last Saturday! Hopefully the first of many.  There isn’t any training session at half term so we will next meet up on the 5^th November. This will be 6pm at Christleton High School. Bring indoor trainers.

Have a good break….time to recover and be back ready for the Nomads match on Saturday 8^th.

Training Wednesday

Training on Wednesday

 

Hi Team,

Hope you have arrived down from the clouds after last Saturdays stunning performance! Well done to you all without exception.

Hard work,  good team spirit and commitment really doe’s pay off!

Anyway…this coming Wednesday there will be training with Robbie Mills at 5.30pm Waverton Queens Field. Try to be there on time but again I appreciate this may be harder for some of you. There is no game this coming Saturday…which in some ways is a pity after last weekend. Our next fixture is on the 8^th November and will be at home against Chester Nomads. Kick off time to be confirmed. Please let me know as soon as possible if you can’t make this game. There won’t be training at half term but when we start back we will be indoors at Christleton High School 6pm-7pm (weds)

I am hopeful that one or two of our new players will be registered by then and in a position to strengthen our squad.

Those of you still not registered with the league and club must bring the forms and payment this Wednesday please. It requires two passport photos and a copy of your birth certificate/passport along with the signed forms. If you have any questions let me have them.

 

Thanks

Simon

 

 

Saturdays match

 

AFC Waverton Ladies U14 v Malpas Ladies

 

We shall be kicking off at 11am this coming Saturday at Malpas Sports Club. They wish to play 9v9 so this will be the first time we have had even numbers to play against.  After last Wednesdays training session I think we can win this one…and you should do too.

 

If you google map “Malpas Sports Club” the venue will be shown.

 

The directions are as follows:

 

From Chester on the A41 towards Whitchurch take the B5069 (at a mini roundabout third exit) signed Malpas. Follow this road past the High School (Bishop Heber on your right) until you come to the T junction in the village. Turn left into the high street. Take your first right up the hill past the church on your right. Follow this road until the village ends and on the right is the Sports club. If lost then ring me on 07831 347257. It is important to be there for 10.30am at the latest please. Please come in full kit, boots and a drink.

Please email, text or phone if you need lifts by Friday evening.

Cheers

Simon

Training

Team,

Just a reminder that training is at the earlier time of 5.30pm this Wednesday. Same venue as usual.

We have a match this Saturday in Malpas. Venue and Kick Off time to be confirmed…watch this space.

 Please let me know your availability either at training or by email. If you need lifts then these could be arranged tomorrow night also.

Finally can I remind you that Club subs are due and those girls currently not registered please bring passport photos and a copy of birth certificates/passport to training.  Please have a word with me if you need any more info.

All the best

Todays game

AFC Waverton Ladies 1: Blacon Youth Ladies 6

 

Team,

 

I have to say that this may be my one and only game as your Manager (collective sigh of relief)…and it was a belter!!

 

 I couldn’t fault you in all departments. Lia in goal was superb, Cara, Zoe and Ellie at the back had excellent games, Ellen, Charlotte, Issy, Olivia and Liggy….you played your hearts out in midfield and at times showed class, technique and a real spirit…and Nicola up front you had a “stormer” and never stopped running. Please be patient…you have the ability and I promise you it will start to come together over time.

 

Ok praise over…there were one or two unforced errors but most of these came as you grew tired with nobody on the bench to come on. Olivia, Liggy and Ellie played with injuries….not something I would countenance….but girls I you did us proud this week. Charlotte…you need to rest your ankle and I don’t expect to see you are training on Wednesday (at least not with your boots on)

 

We can only improve and get stronger as a unit as you recover to full strength with one or two new players join us. Your first half performance today was the best I have seen you play and you more than matched the opposition. Blacon are an excellent team and we held our own for most of this game….the score line was harsh.

 

Next weeks training is at the earlier time of 5.30pm. Please try to be there promptly but I appreciate how hard this might be for some of you travelling further….just do your best.

 

Next week (18^th October) we are away in Malpas (KO 10.30am) Details will be put on the web as soon as I have them. Let’s try to car share if poss…

 

Regards

Simon

New kit has arrived!

Team,

The new kit has arrived for Isabel and Olivia. Nicola’s shirt now has the No 10 on the back too…..Pele/Maradona…in good company.

See you tomorrow at 10.30am

Simon

Saturday 11th October AFC Waverton Ladies V Blacon Ladies

U 14 AFC Waverton Ladies v Blacon Ladies

 

On Saturday please try to arrive for 10.30am. The match is to be played on the same pitch as you trained on but you may have to wait until it is vacated by the previous match.

 

Kick Off is 11am and we have a referee lined up.

 

The nets should be up for us. It seems that we will have 9 in the team so again we will be without subs. I am hopeful that Paul will be there to meet you at 10.30am. I shall also be there from the start but need to leave just after KO to be at my sons U9 match in Christleton. Please come in full kit. The kit I have ordered still hasn’t arrived at Queensferry Sports so we are cutting it fine. If any of you have a spare yellow football top or T shirt please can you bring it along….these are the teething problems I mentioned in my letter!

 

Some help with taking nets down at the end would also be appreciated.

 

Good luck!

 

Simon

 

 

Under 14 AFC Waverton Ladies

 

Training (8^th October) and match (11^th October)

 

Dear Team

 

Training will be from 6pm at Waverton Queens Field on Wednesday (next to the village hall/primary school) Everyone welcome.  Please arrive 5 mins early if you can so we can be ready for Robbie to start at 6pm. I have ordered the kit you require for Saturday and will hopefully be collecting it on Friday. I say hopefully as there have been some delays with getting hold of kit from our suppliers. I shall also be bringing along AFC Waverton registration forms for those of you who haven’t yet registered or paid your subs. It’s important for us to sort this out promptly (if you haven’t done so already) The subs are £70 (less if a brother/sister also plays) for the full season (including Chester & District League fees/registration, insurance, kit and refs fees) There is also an additional charge of £2.50 per week to cover coaching and winter indoor training costs. If you need any more information on this please give me a ring or drop me a line.

The match against Blacon Ladies will kick off at the later time of 11am. We are at home (playing on the ¾ pitch where you train) The car park will be very congested at this time so if you need to park in the village please do so carefully and considerately for the sake of local relations. We shall aim to meet at 10.30am.

I will need to know who can’t play by tomorrow’s training please.

Good luck

Simon

 

Training 8th October

Team,

Excellent training session last night….well done!

You are all really coming on well under Robbie’s coaching. We don’t plan to train this Saturday so our next session will be 8^th October 6pm-7pm at the Queens Field, Waverton. Depending on weather and how quickly the nights draw in we shall be indoors later this month. Watch this space for details.

Our next match is Saturday 11^th October and will, be against Blacon Ladies. We will be playing this fixture at home (where we train) and the KO is provisionally set at 11am. I need to confirm that this is ok with the opposition. You will need to be there for 10.15am to meet with your coach. However it will be a busy time so if parking please do so carefully and considerately. Please let me know if you aren’t able to play in the match as soon as possible.

Please keep up with the recruitment drive …we have already had three new players approach us this week so things are looking up. Keep your spirits high and see you at training next week.

All the best

Simon
