Home game on Saturday v Ridgewood

The Fixture Committee of the Wallasey Junior League finally finished their debating this afternoon and published the December fixtures. We have been given a home game this Saturday against Ridgewood (we can see Ellie going yeeeeeeeeeeeeees at last), ko time to be agreed. Mike has to be away early (scouting mission) so we are hoping for a 10:30 ko at the latest.

We have no game on 11 December as we were due to play Vicars Cross away who have withdrawn from the League and no game on 18 December. We might have a quick training session at Upton on one of these days if we have enough interest.

Shot with Bullets

Manor Bullets 10+ AFC Waverton 0

Just one of those days. Don't worry about it. We'll come back and play better against better teams. The early goal deflated us before we had a kick and our heads went down straight away.

But look at how well Kate came on during the game especially during the second half. She learned a great deal and it was great to see her smiling at the end.

First game for Laura and she did really well despite not feeling well and being in bed all week. Kate and Laura in defence was something completely new and they both learnt much.

Lily was not well either and came off in the second half because she had a bad headache but her experience showed in the second period.

Lauren is learning and showed she is gaining confidence.

Rebecca was a buzz of energy and nearly scored and it was brilliant to see her automatically coming back to cover.

Lucie was dazzled by the sun in the first half but was superb in the second half.

Ellie was not her usual energetic self and Kiera was down due to the defeat, but she shouldn't be she was the player of the match and played some great passes forward.

Caitlin tried hard but couldn't find the net.

And Emma came to cheer everyone on. We missed her and Elia today!

MOM for Waverton - Kiera, for Manor Katie Beatty

Training this Monday - 7-8 at Christleton School.

Emma - get better soon/Late game v the Bullets Saturday

UPDATE SATURDAY 10:45 - u12s GAME IS ON. JUST SPOKE TO PAUL FROM OUR U12S WHO SAYS THE PITCH IS PLAYABLE. NOT RUTTED AND WILL TAKE A STUD. OUR U12 PARENTS ARE OK WITH IT SO WE SHALL GO UP THERE AND PLAY! SO GAME ON.

Emma fell awkwardly on her ankle in training on Monday night and was in alot of pain. Her ankle is swollen and bruised but thankfully nothing broken and it is getting better. We all hope she is back playing football very soon.

On Saturday we have a late kick off with a game at 12:30 against Manor Bullets at Poulton Vic ground in Wallasey. Please let Mike know of any difficulty in being able to make this game. If anybody needs a lift please let Mike know asap. This will be Laura's debut for Waverton, so we wish her good luck.

We haven't played Manor Bullets since July 2009 when we met in the final of the Vicars Cross tournament at u12 level. This was the tournament when we went through our group and then beat Vicars Cross and a team from North Wales to reach the final, losing unluckily.

Our 12s are there for the game before us, so if arriving early cheer them on.

The ground is quite historic and was home to the famous Poulton Vics FC, a well known former West Cheshire League side. Poulton Vics was the strongest non league club on the Wirral at one point and current Chester FC manager Neil Young used to manage them.

On Saturday from 10 to 11, we are having a squad session with the u12s and u16s at Old Hall Leisure on Aldford Road, Huntington. Address is Aldford Rd, Huntington, Chester, CH3 6EA.

Take the Farndon Road out of Huntington, go over the by pass and it will be found on the right hand side. Take the track down and we're on the the astroturf pitches. Wear trainers or hard ground (astro) boots. Cost £1/player. All girls are required to attend. We should have more than 25 girls there so we can show the others just how good the u14s are. Please let Mike know if you can't attend or need a lift.

Training this Saturday

UPDATE - TRAINING VENUE CONFIRMED AT UPTON - COST £2/player

Overwhelming demand means that we will have a training session again this Saturday (13 November). It's great that so many of the girls want to play. Venue to be confirmed, but will probably be Upton again. We will update the website once this is confirmed. The session will be from 10-11.

Hey Ellie talk us through that attempted volley which resulted in missing the ball but your boot flying through the air!

See you there!

Greenleas game off/training instead- IMPORTANT

We have this afternoon had to call off tomorrows game at home to Greenleas. The pitches are very wet and more rain forecast overnight means we had no real option.

We will however train instead and as the pitches are all unplayable we shall train on the AstroTurf at the County Officers Club at Upton from 10-11. There will be a charge of £2 per player to cover the cost of hire. Please wear trainers or Astro boots. See you there!

Game v Greenleas at home on Saturday

Thanks to all the girls who came down on Monday for the first Winter training session of the season. We had a good work out. Ellie in the Sin Bin how many times?

Kiera and Rebecca were there in spirit and we are sorry you couldn't make it.

This Saturday we are playing Greenleas (we played the A team last Sat, now the B team this week) at home. Kick off is 11am. Please meet at 10:40 at the latest.

Help as always is required with set up and is much appreciated.

No training next Monday eve (8 November) as the gym is being used for an exam.

We have no game on 13 or 20 November. We propose to have a complete break on Saturday 13 but train with the whole Waverton girls squad (u12/14/16) on Saturday 20. There is some sort of community event going on in Waverton that day (bet Kiera is involved somehow) so we shall have to find somewhere else, but neither the u12s or u16s have a game and so we thought we have a squad morning.

See you Saturday!
