The release of the April fixtures means that the end of the League season is in sight, although the Easter weather is more reminescent of mid winter than end of season.
At the end of April we will have completed all but one of our league fixtures with just the away game with last weeks opponents Wirral Hawks to play. We are in a much more fortunate position than some other clubs, testimony to the excellent Waverton pitches holding up in the worst of the winter weather when most other grounds were unplayable.
22 May is the Waverton football festival designed to celebrate the award of our chartermsrk status plus an opportunity to raise funds for the club. Without an event such as this, subs will go up significantly next season so help from parents is required.
Please put 22 May in your diaries and let Mike know if parents are prepared to help run it on the day. Across the whole club we will need help from setting up pitches to selling hotdogs, to managing car parking to minding the bouncy castle, and so on. Coaches will not be able to do all of this and the girls section need to take an active role.
So far we are committed to just one tournament, the Poynton Soccer Sixes with the squad being: Ellie R, Laura, Olivia, Lily, Emma and Kiera. Any other players have until Easter Monday to tell Mike if they want to play.
If the girls are interested then we can enter some more tournaments once the League season is over. Who's interested?
The girls coaches are meeting on Wednesday to consider arrangements for next season. It is likely that the coaching arrangements will stay the same meaning that Nicola, Laura, Ellie M, Olivia and Cara will move up to the u16s coached by Robbie, with the others remaining with the u14s to be joined by some younger girls coming up from u12s. It would be helpful to know if anybody is daring to even think about dropping out of football or leaving Chesters best girls club.
