A measure of success

AFC Waverton 2 - Wallasey Wanderers White 10

If ever there was a measure of how far the team has improved this season it came in the last game of the year against Wallasey Wanderers White. On a hot September morning at the Delph we were thoroughly trounced 23-0 by the highflying Wanderers, but three months later the return game brought a much better performance. The Wanderers manager said afterwards that we are one of the best footballing sides that he has played in the League and praised the passing and teamwork. He said that the performance from us had served to wake up some of his girls who had become complacent of late.

With Olivia and Nicola turning up late the team had picked itself. Cara in goal, the two Ellies at the back, the hatted Kiera in the centre of the 3 man midfield with Laura and Lily either side, and captain Emma up front.

The first half started brightly but it took about 5 minutes for the visitors to gain the lead and not long after to add to it from a great header from a corner. Some of the goals conceded in the first half were unlucky (such as the high looping shot from wide on the right) but some were very classy such as the one from a great hard shot from the halfway line more akin to the adult than junior game.

Wallasey have some talented players none more so than MOM Chloe Spree who was a torment all morning with her dangerous runs. In the first half the best Waverton efforts came from Nicola and Lily who both put their shots wide of the goal. At the other end, Cara made some fantastic saves whilst in defence we were much more alert than of late, benefiting from the warm up training game beforehand.

Wanderers lost a player due to a rib injury sustained in a challenge and had to go down to six players as a result. Fortunately the injury turned out to be not as serious as feared.

In the second half the visitors scored two goals quickly, goals that should have really been prevented through clearing the ball before Nicola broke and hammered the ball into the net for one of the rare goals conceded by the Wanderers this season. Soon after another Waverton goal was scored when good work resulted in Kiera being able to knock the ball home whose face was a delight in celebration.

All in all a game we had to get out of the way and one for which all the girls can be pleased with their display.

Training this Wednesday 5:30- 6:30 and then our Christmas break.

MOM - for Waverton Kiera, for the Wanderers Chloe Spree.

No training this Wednesday/11:00 ko on Saturday

Thanks to all the girls who came to training on Sat morning. It was great to see 8 players down and thanks to the missing 3 for letting us know beforehand. Very much appreciated.

No training this Weds as Heather is off out (hoorah) and Mike is working late (boo).

This Saturday is the final game of 2009. We entertain the league leaders Wallasey Wanderers at Waverton. A big crowd is expected. Kick off is at 11:00 but if everyone can get there for 10:30 we can have a good warm up session and be ready to hit the ground running.

As always if any players are unavailable please let Mike know on 07901552261. Emma was still struggling with her hamstring this weekend and we hope that Ellie M is recovered from her cold.

The u16s will be on before us, so no help needed with setting up, but help with taking everything down would be appreciated.

Wanderers game off/Training instead

Wirral council has tonight declared the Delph unplayable, so the game against Wallasey Wanderers on Saturday has been called off.

Instead a training session will be held at Waverton between 10:30 and 11:30 and all players are asked to attend. Please arrive in good time with training kit and warm clothing. We don't get enough opportunities to train on grass and this session is important. Can anybody who is unavailable please let Mike know on 07901552261.

See you all on Saturday

Training Wednesday 5:30

Training takes place this Wednesday at Christleton sports centre (outdoor court) from 5:30 to 6:30. Cost £2 per player. All players are asked to attend the session which Heather will take.

See you there!

Just one of those flippin' mornings.

AFC Waverton 2 - Upton 15

and then the referee blew the whistle to end what had been a dismal morning for the girls.

MOM - Kiera Berry and for Upton the impressive Ira Temperal.

Waverton goalscorers - Nicola and Kiera

Well done girls, you all never stopped trying. Upton are a good side and some of the goals conceded were very difficult to stop. These things happen, just forget about today and let's work hard in training on Wednesday and be all set to get back to winning ways next Saturday.

Training this Wednesday 5:30-6:30 at Christleton. Cost £2 per player. We will review at the end of December but can only keep training if we have enough girls down each week to make it financially viable and for the coaches time.

Next game away next Saturday at Wallasey Wanderers at the Delph, Wallasey ko 9:30.

Game this Saturday v Upton

First home game for a few weeks takes place this Saturday when we welcome Upton to Waverton. Meet at 9:00 for a 9:30 ko.

7 players have signed in so we should be buzzing, especially following our demolition of the mighty Ridgewood Rangers last Saturday. Another win and we'll be challenging the top teams in the League.

Help from parents with the setting up appreciated, but the u16s will be on after us, so nets etc can be left up.

We'll see you all on Saturday.

Five Alive

Ridgewood Rangers 1 - AFC Waverton 5

The winning streak continued with a confident display against Ridgewood Rangers ending in a 5-1 victory with four goals from Caitlin and one from Kiera.

A sudden downpour on arrival at Ridgewood Park had all the girls running back for the protection of the cars. The pitch was wet and muddy but declared playable. The home side had made the pitch shorter to avoid a big wet patch at one end meaning the playing area was nearly square.

With 5 mins to ko only 5 players were present but then Caitlin, Kiera and Ellie R appeared, the latter two being delayed on the road. The referee had locked himself out of his car meaning Graham from Ridgewood took charge in the middle.

The team lined up with fully weather proofed Cara in goal, Emma and Ellie M at the back, Kiera in the centre of the midfield with the little 'L's Laura and Lily either side of her, and Caitlin up front. Ellie R was the super sub ready to be unleashed after about 10 mins.

Right from the start, Waverton were on top with some good possession and moves. After about 10 minutes Caitlin put the yellow shirts ahead picking up a loose ball and smacking it right down the middle of the goal. Another Caitlin goal and one from Kiera took us into half time with a 3-0 advantage. Kiera's goal came when she ran from the halfway line and with options either side in the shape of available and waiting yellow shirts, she decided to have a pop herself and what a great goal it was, spinning across the line off the inside of the post.

Ellie Riste , on the left of midfield, went close after a great run and Lily nearly got on the score sheet too.

With the Ridgewood Park wind behind us in the second half there was bound to be more goals in it, but it was the Rangers who got the next one as they outnumbered Waverton on a break and Cara was left helpless. A well deserved goal from the Ridgewood girls. Caitlin though would score another two at the other end to put the tie beyond Ranger's reach, one following great work from Lily and the other through fantastic play from Laura. With five minutes left Emma was thrown up front in search of another goal but despite her determination she couldn't get on the scoresheet. Lily had a great looping long range shot but it was well saved by the goalkeeper.

Four goals from Caitlin puts her in a challenging position in the goals chart, not bad for a player who lives 200 miles away and can only play every other week.

At the back Ellie Mageean was superb and always in control. Defenders never get picked for MOM awards by the opposition do they?

No handballs, no calls for a replay.

MOM - Caitlin, for Ridgewood Rangers - Molly Brewster.

Well done and thanks to Graham and the Ridgewood girls for their very kind comments and wishes at the end of the game.

No training this week, but the following 3 Wednesdays training will be 5:30-6:30 (as long as we get enough girls down)

Ridgewood Rangers game on

All systems go for some footie action tomorrow. We have 8 girls confirmed and Ridgewood have confirmed tonight that the game is on so clean your boots, get out the wintergreen (ask your dads) and get an early night. The referee will look at the pitch in the morning but as of tonight no problems are expected.

Ridgewood play at Ridgewood Park on Fisher Lane in Pensby. There are two options to get there from the Chester area. Either:

take the Parkgate Road through to Heswall and turn right in Heswall village (before you get to Tesco) onto the B5138 Pensby Road. Follow that for a couple of miles past the Harvest Mouse PH into Pensby village and turn left into Fishers Lane before the parade of shops. The field is on the right behind the houses on Fishers Lane. Either park on the road just after Ridgemere Road and take the cut through onto the field or carry on and the park appears on the right 100yards down the road and there is a car park and then walk across the field.

or

take the M53 to J4. Turn left on to Brimstage Road and then after a couple of miles turn right on to Whitehouse Lane which will take you through to Barnston Road. Turn right and follow for a mile. Turn left onto Gills Lane and then follow this to Pensby where if you go straight on at the shops you are on Fishers Lane and field will be off this road on the right as above.

Any problems let me know on 07901 552261

See you all there at 12:00 noon.

Game v Ridgewood Saturday - Training cancelled next week

On Saturday we play against Ridgewood Rangers away in Pensby. Kick off is 12:30. Can all players please confirm whether they can or can't play. Olivia is unavailable. Directions to follow.

David Harker has tonight cancelled next week's booking on the pitch at Christleton as none of the u16s will be available and only Kiera and Cara turned up for training this week. The pitch is £21 each session and if only 2 turned up next week it would cost them a fortune.

The next training session will be on Wed 2 December, 5:30 at the Sports Centre. Cost £2 per player to be collected on the night.

Training at Christleton Sports Centre - 5:30-6:30

Winter training starts this Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:30 at Christleton Sports Centre on the outdoor court. Tomorrow training will be a joint session with the U16 girls under Robbie Mills' guidance as both Mike and Heather are unavailable.

URGENT IBRY GAME CALLED OFF!

The Irby game was called off on Friday evening because of the waterlogged pitches at Waverton. So the Crocky Trail trip has had to be postponed too.

Mid-week training this wednesday at Christleton Sports Centre 5:30pm-6:30pm. There will a cost which will probably work out similar to last year where parents paid £10 to cover a number of weeks. This will depend on how many girls we have attending as we have to cover the cost of hiring the pitch between us and the u16s.

Have a good weekend!

Rain, what rain?

Thanks to all the girls who turned up for training at Waverton on Saturday. It was a nice sunny morning with our pitches definitely playable.

No training this week. Next game is home to Irby on Saturday morning (Meet at 9:00 for 9:30 ko)

Game called off/Training session instead

Saturday's game at Irby has been called off tonight because the pitch is waterlogged.

A training session will be held instead from 9:30 to 10:30. Venue to be confirmed by Friday teatime. Watch this space.

Confirmed now for waverton at 9:30

Waverton in 9th place out of 13

The current league table can be found by clicking on this link

Irby's first team lead the League with 7 wins and 1 draw followed closely by Wallasey Wanderers White. Greenleas and Wallasey Wanderers Red sit just behind the front two. Waverton lie in 9th place just behind Birkenhead Youth. Behind us lie Wirral Hawks, Ridgewood Rangers, this week's opponents Irby Colts and finally Heygarth at the bottom.

We play Irby at home a week on Saturday and they will obviously be a tough test. We have beeb beaten by both Wallasey Wanderers white and Greenleas but gave the other Wanderers side a good run for their money when they came to Waverton. So we sit within a group of teams in the middle and we can certainly compete very well with them. If we play as well as we have done in some games more often and get a full team out more often we might even really challenge the top teams. So lots to play for! Go Waverton!

Training this Wednesday is CANCELLED

UPDATE - TRAINING CANCELLED UNTIL WED 18 NOVEMBER AS THE PITCH IS NOT AVAILABLE

Midweek training switches to Wednesday for the moment as we move onto the outdoor pitch at Christleton Sports Centre. This is on the left hand side of the drive as you go past the entrance to the hall/pool. Training is from 5:30 -6:30 and we will share with the u16s until we can find something more suitable. 5:30 is a bit early for both coaches and players but its the only thing on offer at the moment.

The surface is hard (we know we have fallen on it) but at least we should see each other. Trainers are needed. There will be a small charge but we are waiting for further information from the Director of Girls Football, Sir David Harker.

Saturday's game is away at Irby Colts. Last year we played Irby Colts in the Presidents Cup Final at u12 level and won, but we don't know what the u14 team is like this season.

The game has been confirmed tonight so its on. Directions to follow. The ground is opposite Irby Methodist Church on Mill Hill Road in Irby. Postcode is CH61 4XG. Lifts are on offer, just let us know.

Trick or Treat?

AFC Waverton 9 - Heygarth Utd 1

Sparkling Autumn day. First League win of the season won in convincing style. All's well with the world.

Nicola scored 5 to take her tally to 13 for the season with goals being provided by Olivia (2), Lily and Emma. This was a dominant display and provided some cheer following last week's defeat at Greenleas.

With the luxury of 8 fit and keen yellow shirted girls at 9:30, Nicola volunteered to start on the bench. We don't have a bench, but you know what we mean.

So the yellows lined up against the yellows with green bibs. Cara returned from international duty to reclaim the number 1 jersey with Ellie M and Aimee in front of her. In the middle of the middle sat Captain Emma, with the two little 'L's Lily and Laura either side. Up front was Olivia of whom great things were expected. From her Dad anyway.

For the first five minutes the sleeping sickness descended and it was a bit, well sort of messy really. That's messy with a 'y' not with an 'i'.

And then it came together, good work down the right left Olivia to make a great pass to the unmarked Lily on the left who calmly, as they would say on Match of the Day, slotted home. First goal of the season for Lily and first blood to the yellows.

The provider of that goal popped up soon after for a 'tap-in'. Two-goal of the season Olivia looked well chuffed. Nicola came on for the stitch sufferer Emma and her pace and strength frightened the life out of the Eastham defenders. Nicola though was trying too hard and balls were despatched into the car park, the tennis court and nearly onto the school field instead of the net. Good things come to all those who wait as my mother used to say and it would be true of Nicola.

The half time comments from the girls were that Cara's lip was burnt and Olivia saying that she couldn't play in defence and "If they score, it's not my fault ok?"

In the second half it was all Waverton with great goals from super defender Olivia and Emma. Nicola though dominated the goal scoring in the second period with 5 to her name. She was convinced she scored 6 but she hadn't. Good stuff all the same which brought the man of the match award.

Each player took a turn on the fictious bench. Lily was pushed, ironically through the "respect' barrier by one of Heygarth players, which could have been nasty. If it had happened on the other side where the u16s had been playing, Lily would have finished up in the centre circle of that game. In the final minutes Heygarth scored a great consolation goal, a shot from way out which bounced off the cross bar into the net above Cara.

So for Waverton, Halloween was a non-scary day. Well done everyone.

MOM for Waverton - Nicola Jones, for Heygarth Emma Gould

Game v Heygarth this Sat/Winter training arrangements

This Saturday we play Heygarth Utd at home. Kick off at 9:30 but please meet there at 9:00.

Kiera and Ellie R are away. Can all other players confirm their availability with Mike on 07901552261 or on the poll on the right. This is important as Heygarth will not be happy if they travel down on Saturday to find us unable to put out a team. So unless enough players have confirmed by Friday night, the game will be called off and we will lose the points.

We spent last Saturday afternoon at the club repairing and tidying up the green lock up. This is now in pristine condition and all coaches and parents must keep it that way. The state of the lock up was nearly a resignation matter for the Club Chairman.

Training on the Queens Field in midweek is now not possible again until March. We lost the indoor booking at Christleton Sports Hall and many phone calls and discussions haven't come up with anything for us. Mike even thought he had secured an arrangement with Christleton Football Club to train on the field under floodlights but when he went to meet the chairman the Club decided that they couldn't cope with a group of u14 girls showing their first team how to play football. What happened to community spirit?

Anyway after half term we shall start off sharing the outdoor pitch at Christleton Sports Centre that the u16 girls have managed to grab. Its not ideal for the coaches nor for the girls being 5:30 -6:30 on Wednesdays. There may be some nights when for work and other commitments Heather or Mike can't make it and we'll have to cancel, but for now its the best we can get. It is only remotely feasible because of the continuing problems that Heather is having on her knee meaning that she won't be able to train with Birmingham City Ladies on Wednesdays for the rest of the season (this is why our training has been Tuesdays). Heather is gutted by the seriousness of the injury but should be able to limp down to the sports centre on most Wednesdays. Treat her gently!

Hooping Cough

Greenleas 7 - AFC Waverton 0

A late kick off at St Georges School due to malfunctioning sat navs. 6v7 looked better than 4v7 at 11:00. Olivia called in sick in the morning and with 4 other players absent, the game against the Greenleas 'A 'side was never going to be a walk in the park. Or school field even.

From the kick off Waverton looked as sharp as a knife and had a couple of attacks. Playing two at the back and three in midfield, Nicola looked strong supported by a lively Laura and Caitlin.

In defence Lily and Ellie looked solid in keeping the hooped shirts at bay. An unfortunate goal though gave the home side the lead as a high shot looped over the stand in keeper Kiera. A loop from the hoops. Cara's on loan gloves weren't able to get anywhere near the ball.

A mix up between Laura and Kiera presented Greenleas with another goal and with the extra player in the side, two other goals followed. At the other end Nicola was very unlucky not to get onto the score sheet. A succession of deep throw ins down the left put pressure on the home side but still Waverton remained goalless at the much welcomed interval.

Greenleas went down to 6 players in the second half making the game, in pure numbers terms anyway, more equal. Waverton had the wind behind them and replacement 'keeper Nicola was able to launch high balls from the back. Caitlin chased all of them but was unable to get a decent shot on target.

Kiera got a nasty kick on the thigh and dropped into defence to replace Lily who moved into midfield. Keeping the coach busy in picking up the first aid kit, Laura then got a ball in her face, but bravely continued. She just smiles so much!

Ellie made a fantastic last ditch tackle to stop a certain goal but the home side did score 3 more despite the heroics of Nicola in goal. Laura and Lily, not exactly the tallest of players at the best of times, were not intimidated by the taller opposition and used their silky skills to get round players. However the best player on the pitch was the smallest, Chelsea Brook of Greenleas. So now you understand why that guy was shouting 'Come on Chelsea'.

Not a game to remember, but the girls did very well in the difficult circumstances. Keep your heads up girls.

MOM - for AFC Waverton, once again, Nicola Jones, for Greenleas Chelsea Brook.

No training this week as there are few players around, the clocks go back tonight and Heather's knee injury is more serious than first thought.

Next Saturday we welcome Heygarth Utd to Waverton for a 9:30 ko. It is absolutely vital that we know whether or not a player is going to be able to play each game. If we can't put out a team, the club gets a fine. That's money that we could do keeping in the club. So let us know early if you can't make it. Thanks.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and the half term week.

Game v Greenleas on Saturday

This Saturday we have an away game v Greenleas in Wallasey.

UPDATED - WE NOW HAVE CONFIRMATION TODAY THAT THE GAME WILL GO AHEAD AT THE UPPER SCHOOL OF ST GEORGES SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL IS SPLIT OVER TWO SITES AND WE ARE AT THE SITE ON CLAREMOUNT ROAD, THE HOME OF YRS5 and YRS6. FOR THOSE WHO REMEMBER IT IS WHERE WE PLAYED GREENLEAS LAST YEAR.

Take M53 to J1. Follow signs for Wallasey/Wallasey Village. Turn off the motorway and follow the road. A few hundred yards up this road get into the left hand slip just as you go under a road bridge. Take the sliproad which goes round and meets the road you have just gone under. Its easier than it sounds honest. This is Leasowe Road and turn left towards Wallasey Village. After about a mile and into the centre of the village you come to a roundabout. Go straight on down a one way street called St Johns Road. At the end turn left onto St Georges Road (you will see a church on the left) and then immediately right into Mayfield Road. At the end turn left on Claremount Avenue and the school is a few hundred yards down on the right hand side. Park on the street if you can't get into the school. The field is at the back of the school.

Nobody got lost last year!

Kick off is at 11:00. Meet there at 10:30. If anybody needs a lift there are spaces in at least 2 cars going.

We have 7 confirmed players :

Nicola, Kiera, Lily, Caitlin, Ellie M, Laura, Olivia.

See you there. If you get lost Mike's number is 07901552261.

Tuesday training cancelled this week

Training has had to be called off this Tuesday. Apologies for this. Heathers knee injury has flared up again meaning she can't walk whilst Mike is on a scouting mission in the Champions League. See you all on Saturday

Wake up it's a beautiful morning

AFC Waverton 3 - Greenleas Celtic 4

From now on we should only play the second half of the game as for the second game in a row, half time has been the point where the team wakes up, starts believing in itself and plays good attacking football. Last time against Birkenhead the girls got it back to 4-4 but this time they came so close to winning the game after being 3-0 down at the interval. Unfortunately the visitors scored a great goal in the final minutes to take the points but this should take nothing away from a fantastic performance and a second half which was a real advert for girls football.

A good squad turnout and the nice Autumn sunshine all looked good at 9:30, but by 9:31 things didn't look so rosy when on the first Celtic attack the ball was in the back of the Waverton net. Cara was still eating her Weetabix, this was unfair. A few minutes later the score was doubled as our defence struggled to clear the ball. Although another goal gave the visitors (and some of our parents it must be said) the impression that this would be a thrashing, the team started to play and to look more solid. Olivia had a couple of chances to score including a great run down the left which left her one on one with the keeper. Nicola too had chances which she put just the wrong side of the post and Waverton won a number of corners as half time approached.

At half time the advice was again about not just watching the ball but players drifting past us and the need for our girls to give everything and keep tracking back and forward as their were play hungry players itching to get off the bench. The second half performance was much better and with Nicola looking to use her strength and speed to run at the defence with every opportunity, a goal looked likely. It came from Nicola following a cleared shot from Kiera which boosted confidence more. Then a great attack involving Nicola worked the ball to Olivia on the left who coolly slotted home to collect her first goal of the season. At the other end, Cara was in absolute top form in goal denying attack after attack with some brave saves that would have graced the Premier League.

Another Nicola goal brought the scores level and a real feeling that a win was possible. The Greenleas 'keeper got hurt in a challenge with Nicola but recovered well. In the dying minutes though a breakaway from the hooped shirted girls resulted in the fourth and deciding goal for the visitors.

This was an excellent performance which would have brought victory against a good side had it not been for the poor start. The encouraging things were the rise in confidence levels, the great team spirit, a determination to not be beaten, discussing and learning from the mistakes and the excellent football all over the pitch. Most of all the girls obviously enjoyed it.

Have a good weekend

MOM for AFC Waverton - Kiera Berry, for Greenleas Celtic Danni Boyard.

Training Tuesday at 5:30. KEEP AN EYE ON THIS WEBSITE THOUGH AS HEATHER'S KNEE RECOVERY HAS GONE BACKWARDS AND THERE WILL A FITNESS TEST ON MONDAY!

Game away at Greenleas (Wallasey) next Saturday. It is the first Sat of half term. Can players let Mike know asap if they can't play if they haven't done so already?

Celtic visit on Saturday

We're back into some action on Saturday morning at Waverton when we welcome Greenleas Celtic for a 9:30 kick off. Our u12s are kicking off at the same time so say hello to our younger girls as they are all new to the Club.

Greenleas Celtic play in, wait for it, Celtic type hoops (well they were never going to play in blue were they?) and are from Wallasey. We played against their u12s last year and they were quite good. That's all we know really.

All players should be available. Meet bright and early at 9:00. These constantly changing kick off times are ruining my Saturday plans!

See you Saturday

Saturday's game off

We have had to call off Saturday's game against Delta Colts in Wallasey unfortunately. This is because the 12:30 kick off meant that neither Mike nor Heather could be there because of other commitments in the afternoon and other authorised people in the club could not make it either. The League has tried very hard over the last few days to get other games rearranged so that we could have an earlier kick off at the Delph, but it has not been possible.

We are very sorry, particularly since our game last Saturday raised our confidence levels, but it is just unfortunate. Enjoy the Saturday off.

Training next Tuesday at the earlier time of 5:30 given the disappearing light and again apologies to those girls who struggle to make this time.

We are back at home next Saturday against Greenleas and then have two games over the half term weekends. Please let Mike or Heather know if you cannot make any of those games as we might need to postpone if we can't get 7 players out.

Nic nicks the first point

AFC Waverton 4- Birkenhead Youth Ladies 4

A last minute goal from Nicola gave Waverton a share of the points and was an appropriate ending for a well fought game. Caitlin's pass from the centre was just right and Nicola running onto the ball smashed it past the 'keeper and the celebrations began.

On the big pitch it was Birkenhead who took the lead when a free kick deceived everyone and sailed in past Cara. Waverton though equalised through a great shot from Nicola. Birkenhead showed their strength and got two more goals back before half time but in between Caitlin got onto the score sheet with a fantastic shot from the right.

So 3-2 at half time gave the Waverton girls a real chance to get back into it and win their first points of the season. The second half performance was excellent. Aimee was real class at the back alongside Ellie Mageean who was calm and cool. Ellie Riste and Lily never stopped running and Olivia and Kiera showed some excellent touches. It was great team work that gave the Waverton girls the edge and Kiera's goal which took the game to 3-3 was testimony to the team play.

With the clock ticking away Birkenhead broke and their attack ended with the ball in the net and the girls all jumped on top of each other thinking they had sealed it. With great determination, Nicola grabbed hold of the ball and took it to the restart showing how much she cared to not lose. It was fitting therefore that a minute later she popped up to meet Caitlin's pass and smash the ball home to send her to the top of the goalscorers list.

There were some really good performances today. Cara was brilliant in goal and we should thank her for staying in for the whole hour. Aimee had her best game of the season and looked absolutely solid at the back and all the others were fantastic too.

Well done girls you were all excellent. Have a good weekend! Get well Emma, we're sorry you had to miss it.

MOM for Waverton - Kiera Berry, for Birkenhead Youth, Georgia Fairclough.

Training this Tuesday at 6pm.

FA Respect Campaign

LOSE RESPECT, LOSE THE GAME

Stamp out abuse of our players from the sidelines

Click on the links below to take you to a video made by the FA, starring Ray Winstone highlighting the problems of abuse in our junior game. It is very good.

Game v Birkenhead Youth Ladies this Sat

Back to some home League action this Saturday when we entertain Birkenhead Youth Ladies at Waverton. Kick off is at 11 and players are asked to meet at 10:30.

Laura is away but all other players are expected.

Birkenhead Youth Ladies are a new team formed by the merging of Wirral Ladies from last year with Birkenhead Youth Centre. Their u12s are playing our u12s at Waverton at 9:30, so if you're down early cheer on our girls.

The club is signing up to the FA Respect campaign and all parents will be asked to sign up the Respect code of conduct. This is part of our aim to be an FA Charter Standard Club. You have probably read about this campaign which is designed to promote respect between players, between coaches and players, between parents and players and between all involved and the referee. The game is losing referees and without them we can't play. They won't keep turning out if they get abuse from players, parents or coaches. It happens, but we have to play our part in stamping it out.

For parents the code commits them to amongst other things giving support, encouraging the players but not trying to coach or tell the girls what to do.

More to follow over the next few weeks.

New goals and gloves

Upton Fc 9 - AFC Waverton 1


At least we know what size goals we are supposed to be playing with, but it doesn't make it easier to keep the ball out. Upton scored some cracking goals but also were lucky with some of them including one which just rolled across Caras's line on the wrong side. Cara's new goalkeeping gloves could do little to stop some of the goals.

The U16s game was still being played when we arrived at Overchurch School and thanks to everyone arriving on time so we could have a proper warm up. This is important to avoid muscle strains and is more important in this age group than in the under 12s.

Some of the girls were recognisable from the strong Upton FC side from last years u12s including Ira who was a constant threat. 1-0 up in the first 10 minutes the home side's advantage was cancelled out through a Nicola goal after just coming on as a sub. Upton got back into it and scored 4 more before half time including a very well taken team goal. In the second half they added another 4 but late on Waverton had a revival and Nicola and Ellie Riste were both unlucky not to get on to the score sheet.

Playing as a team, keeping the shape and not just watching the ball but watching players drifting past us are the things we need to work on, but it will come. Keep your heads up girls, you will learn from playing in this League.

MOM for AFC Waverton Nicola Jones, for Upton FC Abby Bateman

Training this Tuesday at 6pm. League game at Waverton next Saturday.

Game v Upton (WIrral) this Saturday

This Saturday we head up the M53 again to Upton. The game will be played at Overchurch School on Moreton Road. The kick off is 11:00 and players are asked to meet at 10:30. Anybody who needs a lift there, back or both, just let Mike know on 07901552261.

Emma returns but Caitlin is away. All players please let Mike know of their availability by text 07901552261 or using the poll on the right.

Following our training on Tuesday we expect to score at least two goals from corners. Nice cake Kiera, thanks.

Overchurch School is easy to find. Take M53 to Junction 2. Turn off left down the spur road and then take the left hand slip road up to the road above. This is Moreton Road. Turn left and follow the road for about quarter of mile and the school is on the left. Turn into the school entrance and park. If you get to Uplands Road you have gone too far. The field is at the back.

See you there!

Nearly but not quite

AFC Waverton 2 - Wallasey Wanderers Red 4

An excellent fightback from the Waverton girls saw them get right back into this game from being 3-0 down at half time. This was a great performance from the team and shows that they have the quality to compete at this level and determination to fight back from a losing position.

Wallasey started off strongly on the big pitch and took the lead early on from close range. Another two goals followed with Cara powerless to do much about. Waverton's best efforts came from a Nicola header from Kiera's corner which went just over, a low shot from Kiera which hit the side netting, and a brilliant one on one from Lily which just saw the ball eventually inches away from the final poke around the keeper.

At halftime the girls were asked to keep their shape and not to let players drift behind them and the performance from then on was excellent. Ellie M was once again brilliant at the back with Ellie R alongside her always threatening on the attack. Cara was solid when she came out of goal and Olivia and Laura in midfield did their best to cover the expanse of ground. Aimee played in defence and in midfield and was again solid, whilst Caitlin and Nicola showed their strength.

It was these two players who grabbed the goals, and well taken they were. The first, a blast from Nicola followed excellent work from the team and the second from Caitlin running with the ball and coming in from the left. A third goal seemed possible when Waverton put pressure on with a series of long throw ins down the right, but the visitors sealed the game near the end with a well taken individual goal which was deserving of its importance in settling the game.

Wallasey Wanderers are a strong side and this was a great performance all round. Well done girls.

MOM for Waverton - Kiera Berry, for WW, Hannah Connolly.

Training 6PM this Tuesday at Waverton, game away at Upton ko 11:00 next Saturday. Further details to follow.

October fixtures will be published by the League on Monday and as soon as we know, we'll let you know.

Baptism of fire

Wallasey Wanderers Red something - AFC Waverton 0

Well this was certainly an introduction to the quality of the Wallasey Girls League. Playing the best side in the League, all Y9 girls, a big pitch with big goals, no goalkeeper, no subs and a boiling hot day. The odds were stacked against us from the start, but the team can be proud of the way they played today and the way in which they kept going.

We promise it won't always be like this and as in the pre-season game the team will shine. Individually today there were excellent performances, although it may not have felt like it at 12:00. Ellie was fantastic in goal in the first half as was Laura in the second, particularly because she filled so little of the goal! Both girls made tremendous saves and may not have been aware that there was applause from both sides of the pitch for some of those brilliant saves.

Aimee is playing very well in defence and was excellent today with some very good tackles and good throw ins and distribution. Emma playing her first game since July fitted in brilliantly alongside Aimee in the first half and just knows what needs to be done. Lily was full of effort and industry as always and the second half in particular saw some of that excellent passing we expect of her. Olivia made some timely interventions in a very difficult midfield where there was a tricky job of closing people down and Nicola showed her strength excellently despite getting injured. Nicola's long range free kick in the second half was a whisker from going in and she deservedly won the home sides vote for man of the match.

Keep your heads up girls. Believe in yourself, you are good and this was a one off, promise. We're only two points from the top of the table!

Man of the match for AFC Waverton - Nicola Jones, for Wallasey Wanderers- Chloe Spree.

Next game - Wallasey Wanderers White - at Waverton next Sat meet there at 12 noon for a 12:30 ko. Anybody not available please let Mike know asap or use poll on right. All three of our teams will be at home on Saturday a real festival of girls football for our club.

Training this Tuesday is at 6:00PM- 7:00 PM for this week only. Mike will take it as Heather is still hobbling around following her knee injury last weekend sustained when playing for Birmingham City. She should be back on the pitch and on the dance floor soon.

Details for Wallasey Wanderers game Sept 12

We begin our League campaign on Saturday with an away game at Wallasey Wanderers. The game will be played in Liscard in Wirral at a playing field known locally as The Delph.

The game kicks off at 11:00 as there is a game between Wallasey Wanderers' other team and Greenleas earlier. Please meet there at 10:30.

Cara and Caitlin are unavailable but all other players are asked to confirm their availability by clicking on the poll on the right or by tel/text Mike on 07901552261 or by email

The name of the field is Withensfield Playing Field and is on Rake Lane in Wallasey. Postcode is CH45 5DP

Click on the link below to take you to details and a map of The Delph.

Details for The Delph

The best way is to take the M53 right to its end (past junction 1) following signs for the Wallasey Tunnel and All Docks and then when the road splits follow the signs for All Docks and make sure that you do not instead take the Tunnel lane. It is well sign posted but you need to be aware as the split happens quickly and you need to move over lanes to the right. You come down to a roundabout. Turn left, go straight on over lights and follow the road into the Liscard Village centre. Its a one way system, follow it left and then right. Follow the road, it bends slightly left and ignore turning off left or right. This is Rake Lane. The field is on the right a little way along this road.

Park on Rake lane and go through the gate between the houses onto the field.

Looking Good!

Heygarth United 0 AFC Waverton 7

The first pre season game for both teams saw Waverton come out on top with a convincing display at Eastham.

Waverton started brightly and Nicola gave the visitors the lead within the first few minutes. Olivia, playing on the right of midfield, was excellent in delivering a number of pinpoint crosses. Heygarth got back into the game although Ellie Mageean in defence was solid as always. Waverton should have added to the lead when presented with a series of corners towards the end of the first half. Kiera was unlucky not to get onto the score sheet with a shot that went just wide, and then Nicola hit the post. In the second half goals from Ellie Riste, another from Nicola, a hatrick from hot shot Caitlin and an own goal all added up to a great work out.

Cara who had come out of goal for the second half, played well alongside both Ellies in turn at the back. Kiera was solid in goal. Lily helped set up three of the goals, Laura played really well and Aimee was impressive at the back and in midfield.

This was particularly impressive being the first game, that only one training session had taken place and that the new team needed to gel. The girls were excellent and this is a great starting point for the new League season which kicks off formally next Saturday at Wallasey Wanderers with a 11:00 ko.

Thanks to Frank at Heygarth for organising the game and good luck to the Heygarth girls this season.

Details for next weeks game available on web this week . Training on Tuesday 5:30 at Waverton. See you there.

Who would be so daft to put petrol in a diesel car? Great day for the girls, not so good for the coach!  

Game v Heygarth

The pre season friendly with Heygarth will take place at Green Lane Eastham this Saturday. All players are asked to meet in the car park at Port Sunlight Tennis Club, off Riverwood Way at 9am. Kick off will be 9:30. Why so early? Mike's off to Wembley!

Confirmed team is:

Cara, Emma, Nicola, Aimee, Caitlin, Laura, Lily, Kiera.

Awaiting confirmation from Ellie M and Olivia,

Directions as on the post below.

Please wear Waverton kit although we shall play in bibs as Heygarth play in yellow too.

At under 12 level we had a good track record against Heygarth beating them twice, losing once and drawing once. The draw was in the Vicars Cross tournament in July. Our best performance was at Green Lane in December with one of the best displays of the season, but Heygarth beat us in April at Waverton in the League. We first played them in a friendly in June 2008 in Eastham when Caitlin made her debut and Cara and Ellie M played.

The under 12 side are playing a friendly on the Wirral too on Saturday, against Upton FC.

See you there!

Heygarth United

Pre season starts here!

Welcome back everyone from the summer break. We hope to have a great season in the Wallasey League which we are sure you will enjoy.

Pre season training starts on Tuesday 1 September with a session from 5:30 to 6:30 at Waverton. Players are to meet at the Queens Field at 5:25 with training starting promptly at 5:30 which Heather will lead.

Please bring training kit and a drink. It may be best to bring trainers as well as boots in case the ground is hard.

Our first game in the Wallasey League will be on Saturday 12 September and we have arranged a friendly against our friends at Heygarth on Saturday 5 September. This will be played at Green Lane Eastham (by Port Sunlight Tennis Club- which is not in Port Sunlight! at the back of Eastham Woods) with a 9:30 kick off. All players are asked to attend. Those players unable to make it please let Mike know ASAP. Lifts can be arranged, just give me a call on 07901552261.

_________________________________

Directions to Heygarth United's ground:

From Waverton take the M53 to junction 5, take the third exit and head north along the A41 towards Birkenhead. Follow the A41 through Eastham passing the shops on the left, the Shell garage on the right. Keep on this road as it bends and go past Snow and Rock up to next set of lights with Shell garage and church on the left. Go straight on but at next set of lights turn right into an industrial estate. There are some offices at this junction. This is Old Hall Road and go straight on through the business park. Turn right at the mini roundabout onto Riverwood Road and soon after turn right down a little road which takes you through trees to Port Sunlight Tennis Club.

Park in the car park and meet there at 9am. To get to the field take the track heading left out of the car park and follow it for 2 mins through the woods to the pitch.

Be very careful about Sat Navs, you could finish up like some did last year in the Eastham Woods car park, so if in doubt look for Riverwood Road rather than Green Lane. The postcode for the Tennis Club is CH62 3QX but be careful about where your sat nav might send you!

See you all on Tuesday! We look forward to catching up with old players and meeting new ones.

Any questions just text/call Mike on 07901552261 or by email

Next Season

Team

We are already putting plans in place for next season. There is a club meeting on the 20^th May at which some if the issues will be discussed in more detail. Those of you currently in year 9 and moving to Year 10 in September will have to move to a new age group band (U16)

 

Robbie Mills (with help from David Harker) will again be managing the U16 squad next season so they are likely to be in contact with you about what options there are with this team.  If they don’t contact you then perhaps you can have a word with them at training in the next couple of weeks. The U16 team are likely to play in the Wallasey League (as they have this year).

 

Those of you currently in Year 8 and moving to Year 9 will remain with the U14 squad. A group of current U12 players will be joining you to form the new team. The future management structure for this squad is yet to be agreed but we will aim to enter a team in a  league.  The future of the Chester & District League is still under discussion so we need to be open minded about which league we enter. The current options are: 1. Wait to see if the Chester & District League happens 2. Enter the Wallasey League

 

If we enter the Wallasey League it will involve travelling a little further for away matches (with all home games being played at Waverton) However lift sharing has worked well for the U12 and U16 teams this season. Once we get some clearer picture for you all we will need to sort out registration for next season. This will involve sorting  passport photos (2), copies of birth certificates, filling in the club and league forms, and paying the club registration fee. I hope to try to sort all of this out before we end our training this year. Any help with this would be really appreciated.

 

If you are unlikely to be able to play next season or have any concerns or comments about the future plans please either email me or speak to me at training.

 

Regards

Simon

PS We are hoping to organise an end of season do and medal presentation for players and parents...any ideas are most welcome. Nb CRUISE night club is a little out of  our price bracket.

Kick off would be 11am and the venue would be Waverton.

Could you let me know as soon as possible (ideally at training tonight) if you can or cannot play on this date.

Simon

 

 

Training

Team,

There is a training session tonight (Thursday) from 6pm to 7.30pm at Waverton. I haven’t been able to make contact with the Manager of Malpas this week so am not sure about Saturday. I am trying to re-arrange our final league fixture with Malpas...please watch this space.

Simon

 

 

Training next THURSDAY

Team,

There are no fixtures this bank holiday weekend...enjoy the sun!?

Next training session has been re-arranged to Thursday 7^th May-Waverton Queens Field (6 til 7.30)

I am hoping to arrange the Malpas fixture for the 9^th May. This should be at home but please watch this space.

All the best

Simon

 

 

Training

Team,

Just a quick note to say that training will be on this Wednesday 6-7 at Waverton. There won’t be a match this Saturday. Our one remaining league fixture against Malpas has to be re-arranged. I am hoping it will be May 9^th so watch this space.

I plan to organise a few friendlies over the early summer....I will post details of these on the website and let you know via email.

 

 We will also announce our plans for next season shortly. Some of the current year 9 girls will be joining the U16 squad next season and a number of the U12’s will step up into the U14 team.  We are not sure whether the Chester & District will be running an U14 league next season or whether we will decide to move to the Wallasey League (which has been successful for our U12 and U16 teams) We will make sure everyone is informed of the decisions we need to take in due course.

 

 

Simon

Saturday

Team,

Superb performance last night! You worked extremely hard to keep things tight throughout the game. At half time I felt we were in with a great chance of winning against a strong and well organised Blacon team. It was a real step forward from the last time you met them and you matched them in every department.  It bodes really well for future games and for next season. Please keep that level of commitment and enthusiasm up.

On Saturday the U12/U16’s are kicking off at 9.30am. Please come along to support them if you can. The training session won’t start until approx 10.30/11am and is for an hour. Make sure you bring trainers and a drink. Our aim is to encourage more girls to join the club and be part of our developing success.

Hope you can make it.

All the best

Simon

 

WEDNESDAY FOOTBALL

Team,

Final note about tomorrow. Meet at 6pm for a 6.30pm Kick Off. The referee has been sorted. We need to get the nets  and cones up as soon as we get there...they are in the lock up near the children’s playground.

I will bring kits for the girls that need them. If you have black socks/shorts already then put them on.

Remember you are likely to need to play in trainers if it doesn’t rain between now and then. Bring drinks.

Good luck and be positive!

Simon

PS Laura and Charlotte can’t play but Ellie can.

 

Match this wednesday

 

Team,

Just a reminder about our match this coming Wednesday evening. We plan to kick off at 6.30pm at Waverton. Please come in your full kit and bring drinks. It would also be worth bringing both football boots and trainers as the pitch may be very hard after all this sun.

Currently only Laura and Ellie can’t play.

 

Please let me know urgently if you are unable to join us for this important game. I have the kits for those girls just joining us. I will be there from 6pm.

 

Could you also make sure you let me know if you can’t come this coming Saturday for our Ladies Football Open Day. We plan to meet at Waverton for 9.30am. The U12/U16 teams will be playing. Then we have a training session lined up. Again bring boots and trainers for this.

Thanks

Simon

Match next WEDNESDAY

 

 

Team

Sorry to cause any confusion but our next game is on Wednesday 22^nd April against Blacon. Kick off 6.30pm at Waverton Queens Field. Please be there for 6pm if you can....

Could you please let me know if you can’t play this match. I need to know by Monday.

Thanks

Simon

 

Ladies Football Day 25th April

Team,

Just another quick note about the 25^th April. Malpas Girls are unable to play us that day so I would like to invite you all along to support the U12’s and U16’s at the AFC Waverton Ladies Football day. It will kick off at 9.30am on the 25^th and there will be a training session from the Chester City Centre of Excellence for all girls who come along. If you have any friends who may be interested then please bring them along. Can you also tell your PE teachers if you can.

Please come in your full Waverton kit.

Thanks

Simon

No match saturday

Team

Just found out that Blacon can’t play us on the 18^th (this coming Saturday) and have asked if we would instead be able to play them mid  next week. This would involve a 6.30pm Kick off ideally on Thursday 23^rd April at Waverton.

Could you let Paul know tomorrow or me by email if you can play then? I will need to know by Thursday of this week as their manager is on holiday for three weeks.

Thanks and apologies for the postponement.

Simon

Training

Team

Just a quick reminder that there will be training this Wednesday at Waverton Queens Field 6-7.30pm. Match on Saturday 18^th 11am kick off Queens Field as well.

Hope you are enjoying the sun!

Simon

Training

Team,

Just a quick note to say that training will be on the 15^th April 6-7.30pm at Waverton Queens Field. Our next match will be on the 18^th at home against Blacon. Kick off 11am.

Have a good Easter break

Simon

Well done!

Team,

I just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you who played last Saturday to secure the 2 all draw with Chester Nomads. Again with only 8 players and no subs you ran tirelessly for each other in a true team performance. I want you to remember what went right on the day....I noticed how you were all buzzin at half time; talking to each other, praising each other and focusing on the roles you were asked to perform. You all stuck to your tasks brilliantly.

This Wednesday we return to the open air for training. Meet at 6pm Waverton Queens Field and training will end at the later time of 7.30pm.

Our next match is on the 18^th April at home against Blacon Ladies(kick off 11am)  Please also be aware of the girls football open day we are planning on the 25^th April (9.30am) at Waverton. I am trying to get our fixture against Malpas rearranged so we play them at home. This would mean that all three ladies teams will play at home that morning. We then plan to run a short training session for everyone who comes along after the game. Could you all do your best to get to this as we are aiming to get more girls involved and to increase the size and strength of our squads.

 

If you can’t play on the 18^th please let Paul or I know.

 

Well done again

Simon

Chester Nomads

Team,

The game is on tomorrow morning at Boughton Hall Cricket Club. If you need directions or lifts let me know. Kick off 11am please be there for 10.30am.

See you there. Please let me know if you can’t play.

Parking will be tight but we can park behind the goals I believe.

Simon

Chester Nomads

Team,

Please don’t be disheartened about last weekend. With only 8 players you deserve real credit for sticking at it against a team that continued to play with an extra player. These are my personal views but I don’t feel that was in the spirit of the development of ladies football in Chester.

 

I want you all to see this as a real challenge and not to give up. I have been really impressed by your attitude and spirit....keep it up!

 

Next week we are playing Chester Nomads who will also have a large squad but I am hopeful that they will play even numbers.

 

We have training this Wednesday 6pm to 7pm Christleton High School.

 

The match on Saturday is at Boughton Hall Cricket Club. Kick off is 11am so please be there for 10.30am warm ups.

If you need lifts or directions please contact me.

Regards

Simon

If you are unavailable for this coming Saturday could you let Paul know this Wednesday or tell me by text or email as soon as possible.

Thanks

Simon

 

Earlier KO Saturday

Team,

The game is definitely on next Saturday against Malpas. They have requested an earlier KO of 10.45am to allow some of the team to get back to watch the Liverpool V Utd match....some of you might want to do that too!

So...please be there promptly for 10.30am.  We may need to put the nets up too. I won’t be there as I have to ref my lads team in Christleton. This will be a great opportunity for you all to do well and score a few goals....please don’t disappoint me!

Good luck...

Simon

 

Training & our next match

 

Team

Training as usual this Wednesday 6-7pm Christleton High School. We have a match against Malpas this coming Saturday (14^th March) Venue will be Queens Field Waverton. Please arrive promptly in full kit at 10.30am for warm ups and team talk. Kick Off 11am. Help with nets would be appreciated.

If you can’t play please can you let Paul or I know asap.

I can be contacted on 07831 347257

Thanks

Simon

Training & our next match

Team

Your performance last Saturday was excellent. Paul couldn’t have asked for more. We need a few more players to allow us to have as many subs as the opposition...hopefully by next season that will be sorted. Please keep your chins up as you are a credit to the club when you play like that.  Thanks also to Kimmy for playing and allowing the match to be played.

Training as usual on Wednesday 6-7.

Our next match is at home to Malpas on the 14^th March (11am KO)

Thanks

Malpas game off

Team

I’m getting to sound like a scratched record...the game is off Saturday. Pitch at Malpas unplayable. Training next Wednesday. Can’t wait til the summer!

Simon

 

Training Wed

 

Team,

Apologies to those of you who turned up on Saturday for training at the cricket club. The U12’s were low on numbers and I think a few of you may have got there and decided against joining them. I will arrange a joint session with them shortly as we need to start planning for next season already! Many of the U12 girls will be moving up to U14 level next season so we do need to think about how we do this well.

Training is at Christleton High again this Wednesday 6pm to 7pm.

Our next game is away at Malpas (7^th February) Currently kick off is 10.30am. I will update you later this week when I know more. Please can you let Paul or I know if you can’t make it next Saturday.

All the best

Simon

GAME OFF!!

Team

Tomorrow’ game (31^st Jan) is now off due to a waterlogged and heavy pitch. The goal mouths are unplayable. There is the option to train at Christleton cricket club (behind the duck pond). Mike Worden and Heather Scheuber are training the U12 team and have said you are all welcome to join them at 10am.

All the best and apologies for the late call.

Simon
