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!
