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.
