The January fixtures have just been published. We start 2011 with a home game against Wirral Hawks Ladies this Saturday (Jan 8) at 9:30. Then we do not have a game on 15 January as we have a bye in the cup. This means we are straight through to the second round! If every round was this easy. We will probably train that day or see if we can get a friendly. Then the following Saturday on 22 January we are at home to Greenleas Celtic. Mike is away so we'll have to sort out coaching cover. Finally we are away to Birkenhead Youth Ladies on Saturday 29 January with a 9:30 game at the Delph in Wallasey.
Emma is now fit and can't wait to get back into action. It'll be great to see her back playing again after her ankle injury.
Training will continue on Monday nights at the school gym from January 10 but we will need to seek a commitment from everyone who can to support it so the club doesn't have to keep subsidising it unduly. It costs us £24 a session and whilst the sponsorship we got last year can help subsidise it a little, we do need to have a good number of players down each week or know when people can't make it so we can cancel if there are only a few girls available. One of the January sessions will have to be cancelled as there is an exam and the gym is closed. We'll let you know.
