Have a good Christmas break.
Saturday morning (15 Dec) saw the final get together before the Christmas break. Thanks to all the girls who came to the training session.
If any of the girls did not pick up a copy of the programme 
from the postponed Birmingham City v Bristol Academy game, just ask Heather and she'll give you a copy. There's an excellent photo of our Waverton team in the programme.

This Tuesday (18 Dec) the League is holding a meeting to discuss the arrangements for the girls league for the remainder of the season. We shall be represented at the meeting and will keep you informed of what has been agreed and what the new fixtures are. Keep an eye on this website.
We will be putting in an order for the AFC Waverton winter training tops in January. For those girls who do not currently have them, we would like to know whether you would like us to order one for you. There will be a charge unfortunately. We'll be giving out details and taking orders when we return after the Christmas break.
Finally Heather and Mike wish all the girls and their families a very Merry Christmas and hope that Santa brings you some football related presents.

Close encounters of the rainy kind
The cold and wet conditions inspired the Waverton girls who played some fantastic football in this game against the League leaders. Indeed, the Vicars Cross Dynamos manager thought that Waverton shouldn't have lost this game as our girls played such great football and were dominant for much of the 50 minutes.
Waverton started brightly and took a lead within the first 10 minutes when Ellie Riste running in from the left, slid the ball into the corner of the net. Not long after, Keira Berry, who was in sparkling form all morning, scored with a great shot from the right.
The League leaders though came back into the game and took advantage of the Waverton defence's failure to clear to get a goal back and then an equaliser. Katie Pulford made a fantastic block to deny a certain goal. In added time at the end of the first half, the Dynamos won a free kick on the edge of the box. The resulting kick was hit high and perfectly beyond Darcy's reach into the top corner.
In the second half Waverton piled on the pressure but despite numerous efforts could just not get the ball into the net. Olivia Rhodes and Keira Berry both shot just wide. Lily Worden and Keira Berry combined well to create a number of chances down the right. At the other end, Rachel Higham and Gabby Tuite swept up most of the threats and Darcy was outstanding once again. However, the Dynamos extended their lead following a break away as Waverton went for the equaliser, with a low hard shot from the right giving Darcy little chance .
Another great performance from the League's best footballing side!
A training session will be held at Upton next Saturday morning. Meet at 10:15 for a 10:30 start but please keep an eye on this website for any updates on the arrangements. There will be a small charge to cover the cost of hiring the pitch but most parents have said that they are happy to pay this. At least the weather won't stop us training on the astroturf.
Have a good weekend girls! Get well soon Heather.

Blues trip rained off
It had to happen didn't it?
Birmingham City Ladies hadn't had a match called off all season. Until now!
The rain came down in buckets in the West Midlands on Saturday night and made the already heavy pitch unplayable. Fortunately the results of the pitch inspection got to us before most people had left home to catch the bus and we managed to contact the bus company before the coach left for Waverton.
So apologies to all and thanks to Kate for contacting all of the u14s. We'll fix another trip up for later in the season.

Princes Villa 1 Waverton 3
Back to winning ways for the Waverton girls in the penultimate game of the Autumn campaign. Waverton gained a two goal advantage early on, thanks to a screamer from Cara Grimes and another goal from top scorer Olivia Rhodes.
Princes Villa pulled one back in the second half from a looping shot from the right which just bounced off the underside of the bar and beyond Darcy's reach. The advantage though was regained near the end of the match when Ellie Riste, who had been in outstanding form all through the game, ran from her own half, beat a couple of defenders, before calmly placing the ball just inside the Villa 'keeper's right hand post. Darcy, with her super new gloves, was once again instrumental in keeping the score down with a series of fine saves in the second half.
Well done girls! Next up are high flying Vicars Cross Dynamoes on Saturday 8 December. Meet at Upton at 10:30am. As usual, please tel/text (07901 552261) or email Mike if you cannot make it.
