Emma

Emma is still out of action after injuring her ankle in training in November. She came back to play in a match in January but the ankle immediately caused her a problem and she came off after a few minutes. Emma is very keen to get back playing but is having to follow exercises and treatment from her doctor. She hopes to be back playing with us in a few weeks. How we have missed her.

In the meantime we have asked Emma to kick off our little player profiles and we asked her some questions. Everyone will get a turn!

Emma joined the club in 2008 and is now into her third season with us. She previously played for Vicars Cross and came to Waverton with her friend Meg who stayed with us for the successful 2008/9 season with the u12s and both players were instrumental in winning the Presidents Cup in June 2009. Emma has come on very well over the last couple of seasons and now is the rock of the defence and is always encouraging the girls on. She's absolutely sick not to be able to playing at the moment and can't wait to get back. We've missed the cries of 'Dot' from her dad on the touchline. I think its a long story.

How long have you been playing football for?

Since I was 6

How did you get into football?

My uncle got me into it.

Why did you join Waverton?

We joined the club because we used to play against them when we were at Vicars Cross and we knew they were a good team with good players (strange that she didn't mention good coaches, she must have forgotten)

What is your favourite position?

Right side of defence

What is the best goal that you have ever scored?

It was a goal that I scored last season, a volley from just outside of the box.

What do you have for breakfast on match days?

I have chocolate spread, but perhaps I shouldn't.

Who is the maddest player at Waverton?

Kiera. She's completely mad but a brilliant player at the same time.
