Not fair, not fair, not fair
Irby 3 - AFC Waverton 1
A great performance against a very strong and high flying Irby side saw the girls come away without any points and disappointed. However they more than matched their opponents and the game could have gone either way in the second half when the score was 1-1. The home side made use of subs a luxury we couldn't afford and together with some talented players managed to take advantage of the scoring opportunities.
Keira opened the scoring the first half before Irby equalised and then had a great shot that clipped the post. In the second half the Waverton girls were heading up the slope. All of the girls did really well. Lucie made some fantastic saves in the goal including diving at the feet of an attacker very bravely to thrawt a certain goal. Elia and Lily kept running, Emma ran her socks off despite feeling unwell and Keira's delivery of through passes and crosses was excellent. At the back Hollie (complete with shiny new Predator boots) and Ellie kept out most of the attacks and played excellently together.
Don't be down girls, you have improved so much!
MOM Emma
Thanks to Paul Harrison for stepping in as coach for the first few minutes. We weren't losing when you handed over, which maybe tells us something.
Next game is this Saturday, but we don't yet know if it is home or away. We'll keep you posted!

Open Day/possible game on Saturday 25
We have an open day on Saturday morning and all the Waverton girls from u12s, u14s and u16s are asked to attend. We hope to have a number of prospective girls down particularly Y5 and Y6 girls from local primary schools.
We are still waiting to hear from the League regarding the game. We were scheduled to play Irby Colts in the League at home, but the League has arranged cup games now and given us an away fixture at Upton Wirral. We are waiting to hear from the League as to what is happening but the club is not happy to allow the u12s girls to miss this open day given the importance of it and the fact that has been publicised in the local press.
We will update on this
Please note we do have an away game at Irby Colts on Tuesday with a 6pm ko at Pensby. We need to know if girls can make this game. Wendy Parkinson is offering lifts if anybody needs one, but first we need to know if we have a team. So far we only have Kiera and Lucie available so can everyone else pleas tel/text Mike on 07901552261.
Just to reiterate, there will be no midweek training whilst we have programmed League games on a Tuesday. We might train again in May but await the fixtures from the League.

Something in the air tonight
AFC Waverton 2 - Ridgewood Rangers 0
There must be something about the evening air in Waverton that the girls like because tonight's game was like the Ellesmere Port game of two weeks ago where the performance was excellent. The team stuck to its task well and kept its shape.
The first goal came halfway through the first half when Lily smashed home a loose ball in the box and Elia doubled the lead soon afterwards with a fine touch just from the left side. Lucie kept the red shirts out with some fine 'keeping.
In the second half Waverton put pressure on for more goals including having a series of well taken Kiera corners, but the best chance fell to Emma who should have scored following a fine move started by Kiera who passed to Lily on the right then who put in great ball into the box but which Emma just couldn't get enough power on as she arrived at exactly the right time.
So another great win against a good side who beat us at their ground. Great stuff girls keep it up!
MOM - Hollie Carter (YIPPEE!) and Laura Bicket for Ridgewood.

The Borrowers
AFC Waverton 2 - Heygarth 4
With only 4 girls present at kick off, Waverton were always going to up against it! Thankfully Heygarth lent us two girls, Jess and Charlotte so we could have a 6v6 game in the Spring sunshine.
With Hannah leading the line for the visitors, they always looked a threat. Captain Emma was excellent at the back alongside Charlotte and with Lucie's bravery soaked up much of the pressure. Elia and Lily worked tirelessly in midfield with Jess supporting. Elia just gets better each game and is going to be a real star of the u12s next season.
2-0 at HT and then 3-0 to Heygarth, but Waverton came back from a great long range shot from Emma. Then great work by Lily led to a fantastic goal from Elia to give the fightback real hope. Heygarth then got a 4th to seal the win.
We'd have won this game with a full strength side, but credit to Lucie, Lily, Elia and Emma who played their hearts out and who wanted to play despite knowing they were going to be outnumbered. Thanks too to Jess and Charlotte from Heygarth for turning out for us in such great spirit.
MOM - Lily Worden
Next game - Home on Tuesday (21) eve ko 6pm at Waverton. We need to know about player availability to avoid Ridgewood travelling from Pensby if we cannot put out a team.
So far - Lucie, Elia, Emma, Lily. So it is not on unless we have more players.

Special Open Day - 25 April
Next Saturday sees a special open morning for the AFC Waverton girls set up. All 3 girls teams will be around, with the u12s and u16s playing games and the u14s training. Chester City's Danny Jones will be on hand to offer coaching to any girls that want to come down and Heather will also be around to talk to any new girls interested in joining the club.
We hope to have a large number of primary school girls down who may be able to play for the u12s next season and the invitation is extended to any girl of any age. If you know of anybody interested in football get them to come down next Saturday morning.

All our u12 girls are asked to stay around after the game against Irby Colts and talk to some of the girls visiting the club. Tell them what you think of the club (and how great the coaches are!).
We have much to be proud of at Waverton in the way in which we have developed our girls structure which is now one of the best in the area. We have the support of Cheshire FA and are working with some local schools to act as a feeder into the club. We have come on so far since 2007 and we can go much further.

Game v Heygarth on Saturday/Games galore
UPDATE THURS - THANKS TO THE GIRLS WHO RESPONDED TO THE TEXTS THAT THEY WANTED TO PLAY. THE GAME IS ON EVEN THOUGH IT IS 5 v 7. GREAT SPIRIT GIRLS AND GOOD LUCK!
Team: Lucie, Hollie, Lily, Elia, Emma
This Saturday we will play Heygarth at home with a 9:30 kick off. Any players who are unavailable please let Mike or Heather know ASAP. It is vital that we know as we cannot play games if we do not have enough players and we would be embarrassed if the opposition travelled from Eastham to find there are only 4 Waverton players and therefore no game.
On Tuesday we play Ridgewood at home with a 6pm kick off, the following Saturday we are at home to Irby Colts (hoping for a 9:30 ko to fit in with the special Girls day at Waverton) and then the League have put us in for an away match at Irby on Tuesday April 28 with a 6:30 kick off. Obviously these commitments will be dependent upon player and coaches availability and some of these look a bit tricky to meet at the moment!

Results and tables from Sat 4 April
There were a few games played last Saturday including a win for our rivals Irby Colts.
The table below does not include our victory on Tuesday night. Our goal difference belies our position and shows that we have scored 31 goals this season (2 more on Tues) and conceded 63. This shows that we are not getting hammered, but doing much better than our rivals in the bottom half of the League. It shows where we have lost it has generally been tight and this is reflected in for example our relatively close game against second placed Wallasey Wanderers a couple of weeks ago.

Tuesday evening game off
We have called off Tuesday's game against Delta because of the uncertainty over being able to put out a team.
We have only 3 definites and with 3 girls away on holiday, the odds of getting even 5 out seem slim. Calling it off now will mean that Delta don't have to make unnecessary arrangements to travel down from the Wirral, it just means we lose the points and are liable for a fine.
No training this week so next match is Saturday 18 April at home.

Lily double seals the win
AFC Waverton 2 - Ellesmere Port Ladies 1
Carrying on from last week's impressive performance, the team outplayed and defeated neighbours Ellesmere Port Ladies despite being a player down for the whole 50 minutes. It was a totally dominant display from the girls who were very unlucky not to be 3-0 up at half time, but who then had to come behind in the second half with two well struck goals from Lily.
Lining up for the first evening fixture were captain Lucie in the nets, Emma and Facebook addict Hollie at the back, Lily and its my ball Keira in midfield and El nino Elia up front.
Right from the start Waverton put pressure on the Port goal and it was unbelievable how the team could not score all the first half with Elia, Lily and Keira going close time after time. One brilliant move saw keira give Lily the ball and she jinked her way through the whole defence before just seeing her shot miss. Then Elia fed Keira who ran down to the by line and crossed perfectly but Lily's shot hit the post. This was fantastic football, some of the best of the season.
At half time Mike and Heather just told the girls to keep playing like they were and the goals would come. It was the visitors hwo took the lead though on the break when a high ball eluded Hollie and the nippy forward pounced and ran and smashed the ball past Lucie.
Waverton fought back though and more great moves followed. The reward came when Lily got down the right and her shot careered into the net and then a little while later repeated it. Waverton were on top with Elia, Keira and Lily having a great understanding, Hollie and Emma brilliant at the back and Lucie pulling off some world class saves. Brilliant stuff girls, we are proud of you!
MOM - Keira Berry for Waverton, Katie Tideswell for Ellesmere Port.
No game this Saturday but there is a scheduled game for next Tuesday at 6 at home v Delta. Some girls are away including Keira and Ellie.
The situation we know so far is:
Available - Hollie, Lily, Lucie
Not available - Keira, Ellie
Parents not certain - Elia
Not known- Emma, Meg, Caitlin.
We cant play with less than 5 players so if parents can confirm asap then that would be helpful.
