Christmas Cracker!
Heygarth 0 - AFC Waverton 6
Christmas came early at Eastham Woods when the girls left with all three points after putting in a thoroughly convincing display against Heygarth. The drizzle started as the game kicked off and continued all through the game making the pitch heavy.
Where has that Sat Nav taken us - where's the pitch?
The home side won the toss and elected to play up the slope in the first half giving them an advantage in the second period. Waverton needed to capitalise on this and it took about 10 minutes for the Waverton goal to come. Keira picked up the ball on the wide left and jinked past a yellow shirted defender brilliantly, ran into the box and squeezed a shot between the 'keeper and the post.
The goal gave the visitors confidence and it was pretty much one way traffic for the rest of the half although captain Lucie was called on to make a brilliant save from a Heygarth breakaway when a long ball bounced over Ellie at the back. A little later it was a bit tense in Lucie's goal mouth when a firm touch on the loose ball would have made it 1-1, but it was eventually cleared. Keira took 8 corners an indication of the pressure on the home goal, but the Heygarth 'keeper Emma was up to dealing with them all. Emma played in goal for Waverton in the friendly in May and was having a great game again.
At half time Mike told the girls to have a pop at goal when they got forward and it took only a few minutes for Elia to do just that, latching on to a ball and cracking a shot into the left hand side of the goal. Emma increased the lead later on and then Lily ran down the right and like Keira in the first half squeezed a shot in from a narrow angle to make it 4-0. Emma got on the scoresheet again and then with just a minute left Ellie Riste ran down the right and her deflected shot beat the keeper.
This was a great performance to cap an excellent 2008 for the team. Heygarth are a good team, but today Waverton were miles better. Frank , the Heygarth secretary said it was very well deserved. We wish Heygarth good luck for the rest of the season.
Heygarth voted Emma Harrison as player of the match, so well done Emma.
Have a good Christmas and we'll see everyone back for the first weekend in January.

Heygarth game confirmed this Saturday
The final game of 2008 takes place away at Heygarth this Saturday. All players are asked to meet at the field next to the Port Sunlight Tennis Club at 9:00am ready for a 9:30 kick off. Don't be deceived by the name though, the club is in Eastham, not Port Sunlight. Also it is not the same venue as when we played Heygarth in the Summer.
The postcode of the tennis club is CH62 3PU and the address is Green Lane, Bromborough Wirral.
From Waverton take the M53 past Ellesmere Port to the A41 junction (Junction 5). Drop down off the motorway to the roundabout and take the third exit. Take the A41 northwards past the Travel Lodge towards Birkenhead. Go through Eastham and keep on A41 passing Snow and Rock on the left. Go past Shell garage and church on left and at next lights turn right into an industrial estate (Old Hall Road). At a roundabout turn right and then soon after turn off down a little road on the right which will take you to Port Sunlight Tennis Club. Park in the club car park and go through a gate. We are on the field to the left of the big field, with the mini soccer pitches at the back behind the hedge.
If you know where Eastham Woods is, the field is just at the back of it, but we get to it by the Tennis club not by the Woods.
All players are available except Caitlin. Lucie will play in goal and that will give us all confidence to be able to go and get three points to end 2008 on a high. Heygarth play in yellow so we'll be wearing bibs.
If anybody needs a lift please contact Mike on 07901552261.
See you there!

Training tonight, Game Saturday
The final indoor training session of 2008 will take place tonight from 6 to 7 at the Sports Centre.
On Saturday we are away at Heygarth in Eastham. Further details to follow once we have confirmation from the home side.
If the game is off, we'll have a training session anyway as we have not played outside for a number of weeks.
We'll update this website, so keep checking.
BBC Sports Personality of the Year Chris Hoy didn't get any votes in our poll. Instead Heather Scheuber won by a mile (see voting results on the right). Heather's Birmingham City beat Liverpool Ladies last Sunday 3-2 and Heather scored. She always like scoring against Liverpool.

'There's even some girls here'
Today's Chester City trip was a big success for the club with over 160 players taking part in the training sessions at Wood Farm. A few girls from the u12s, u14s and u16s were there and some younger ones too.
'There's even some girls here' said one Waverton boy to his mate.
There was a female linesman for the Notts County game too.
Thanks to Graham Frost and to Danny Jones and his team at Chester City FC.

URGENT - Wirral Ladies game postponed - URGENT
The pitches at Waverton have standing water on them this evening so we have sadly had to call Saturday's game against Wirral Ladies off.
The final training session of 2008 will take place on Wednesday and then the final game will take place next Saurday (December 20) when we travel to Heygarth at Eastham.
We are starting to collect the £10 fee for the hire of the Christleton hall for training Jan to March.
Heather's Birmingham City are playing Liverpool Ladies on Sunday (14th). Mike can't go and Heather will be travelling with the team, but if any parents want to go along and cheer Heather on, contact Mike or Heather for directions. It is at Skelmersdale United's ground and kicks off at 2pm. There is a social club there which serves refreshments.

Training Wed. Game Sat.
Training this Wednesday as usual. Just before 6 to just before 7. We will be collecting £10 from each player to cover the costs of hire until March.
We have a home game on Saturday against Wirral Ladies. Kick off at 9:30 so all players to meet at 9:00.
The game will take place on the school pitch, not on the main field. Keep an eye on the weather and on the website.
The club now has over 150 players going to the Chester City trip along with 80 adults. This should double the attendance at the Deva. It represents half the players registered for Waverton and is an amazing turn out. The u14s and u16s girls have brought forward their games to enable them to get to the Chester training ground for 11:45.

Ridgewood Rangers game off
We have had to call off tomorrows game against Ridgewood Rangers because the Queens Field is waterlogged. All the games on Wirral Borough Council pitches are off too.
We had hoped to have a training session instead from 9:30-10:30 at King George Field at Christleton (the field near the play area behind the pond or Pit as it known locally) but have been down to the field this afternoon (thanks Simon) and it is also far too wet. So a free Saturday to do some Christmas shopping!
Elia and Lucie are unwell so we hope to see them back on Wednesday for training at 6pm. We will also have a training session on Wednesday 17 December.
We will need to collect £10 per player to cover the cost of hiring the hall during the winter. This will cover October to March and is good value. Rather than collecting a weekly fee, it is much easier for us to collect a tenner off you to cover the whole period.

Pitch inspection for Saturday's game
On Saturday we have a game against Ridgewood Rangers. It will be a 9:30 kick off at Waverton and all players are asked to meet at 9:00 am. However, the weather forecast is not good for the rest of the week and so there will be a pitch inspection on Friday morning.
We will put information on this website as soon as we have it, so keep checking.
The Waverton bug is affecting the team - Lucie, Meg and Heather are all suffering.
Heather and Mike won the training game tonight. 2v5 and still the coaches won!
Chester City Trip - Saturday December 13
