Training this Wednesday (April 30)

Training will take place this Wednesday evening at Christleton Primary School. Please meet there at 5:30pm.

On Saturday (May3) we play top of the league side Princes Villa United. It is very important that we fulfill this fixture as it was us who asked for it to be rearranged at Easter. Can any girls who cannot make it please let Mike know asap. So far nobody has said that they are unavailable, so we are assuming we'll have a full strength team out. Please meet at Upton at 10:30.

The girls u12 and u14 coaches are meeting with some of the other clubs and representatives of the Cheshire FA next Wednesday (May 7) to discuss arrangements for next season. For example we need to have an understanding of how many girls teams will be available in the Chester area to play league matches from September. If you have any issues that you would like us to raise or that we should be aware of, please let Mike, Heather or Simon know before May 7.

Malpas game cancelled (April 26)

UPDATE*****
____________________SATURDAY'S GAME HAS BEEN CALLED OFF TONIGHT AS MALPAS CANNOT GET A TEAM TOGETHER DUE TO A GUIDE CAMP THIS WEEKEND. THEY HAVE APOLOGISED DEEPLY FOR THIS.

WE HAVE DECIDED NOT TO TRAIN THIS SATURDAY SO WE'LL SEE YOU ALL NEXT WEDNESDAY AT CHRISTLETON PRIMARY SCHOOL AT 5:30.
____________________
After what seems like an age, we return to League action this Saturday when we play Malpas at Upton. All players are asked to meet there at 10:30. We are mid table and need a win to keep up a challenge for the top spots. Last time against Malpas, we conceded a late late goal to end up with a 2-2 draw, so we must keep concentrating this time.

Over the last month we have practised corners, passing and moving, using the wings, free kicks, crossing, shooting, putting on a bib the right way, throw ins and and how to clear a ball off the goaline by the use of a diving header (the Riise technique). So we'll look forward to seeing it all come together on Saturday.

We have only three League matches left this season. The next one after this Saturday will be the rearranged Princes Villa game which will now take place on the following Saturday May 3rd. This game was originally fixed for the last Saturday of the Easter holidays but the League kindly agreed to our request to postpone given that a number of girls were on holiday. We will not be able to postpone this game again. Please can parents let Mike or Heather know asap if any player is unable to make the May 3rd fixture.

Training this Wednesday (April23)

Training will take place this Wednesday at 5:30pm at Christleton Primary School.

On Sunday, Lucy, Ellie M, Ellie R, Cara and Lily went to watch Heather's Birmingham City take on Everton Ladies. The match was played at Marine's ground in Liverpool and finished 2-2.

Everton are a good side featuring some England internationals, but Birmingham matched them very well and showed great spirit despite twice going a goal behind. Everton took the lead through a penalty but the visitors soon equalised when the Toffees defence couldn't clear the ball away and it was smashed home. In the second half Everton scored with a great header from a free kick, but Birmingham got back into the game when a long wind assisted kick from Sue Wood in goal sailed over everybody including Everton's England 'keeper Rachel Brown and Becky Hall tapped the ball into an empty net. Heather played all of the 90 minutes in the Birmingham midfield despite having a heavy cold.

Afterwards Heather took the Waverton girls into the dressing room and introduced them to the team. The girls also got autographs of the Birmingham and Everton players and also met Rachel Unitt, England's left back.

We are glad to hear that Rachel is getting better and we all hope to see her back with us soon.

Training this Saturday (April 19)

This Saturday is our scheduled free week and we do not have a league game. We will therefore train again, but because of the need to protect the pitch at the school from further damage this week, we shall once again train at the King George Field at Christleton. This is the field behind the Pit and next to the play area.

Meet there at 10am.

Any more takers for the trip to Everton Ladies v Birmingham City Ladies this Sunday? Lily and Ellie M are definites, possibly Holly and Ellie R. Please see Mike or Heather on Saturday morning or call Mike on 07901552261 if interested.


Heather - ready to eat Toffees on Sunday

Training this Wednesday (April 16) -UPDATED

Training will take place this Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 6:30, unless the pitch becomes unplayable due to rain. Please keep an eye on this website. We now have a very good arrangement with the headteacher to use the school for training and do not wish to damage the pitches if they are heavy.

Princes Villa United game postponed (April 5)

The league have now kindly agreed to our request to have this game postponed in the light of only having 5 players available. This game will have to be played a later date and we will not be able to postpone it again.

Our next League game is on April 12 at Upton against Princes Villa Ladies, then we have a free week (when we will train) before our next league game on April 26 against Malpas.

Heather and Mike have decided not to run a training session this Saturday (April 5) instead of the postponed game, so we will see everyone for training next Wednesday at Christleton Primary School at 5:30.

Enjoy your free Saturday morning.
