The Presidents Cup Final will take place at the Solly Recreation Ground in Birkenhead (Woodchurch) on Wednesday evening.
The ground is right near to Junction 3 of the M53. Parking is at Glenavon FC and people are asked to walk back to the road turn left and walk along for 20 yards to the entrance to the Recreation Ground.
To find the car park, follow the signs to Birkenhead from J3 which will take you under the motorway round the roundabout and up a slipway. Once on the slipway GO SLOW as you will need to turn left through a gate just as the roads merge. Park here and then go back to the road and turn left for 20 yards and turn into the field where the final is. The Challenge Cup game will be played before ours, with our game due to kick off at 7:15.
All players are asked to meet at the field at 6:45. 7 players have confirmed their availability. Caitlin is unavailable and we haven't heard from Hollie. If anybody needs a lift please contact Mike on 07901552261.
The squad is:
Lucie, Lily, Emma, Meg, Ellie, Elia, Kiera.
Kiera will be captain for this game being the oldest and longest serving AFC Waverton player in the u12s.
As posted earlier, full AFC Waverton kit is to be worn including black shorts and black and yellow topped socks. Let Mike know if anybody is missing anything and we'll try to sort you out. Please bring training tops. The warm weather is drying out the pitches and players should ideally bring hard ground football boots (shorter studs) or football trainers in case it is too hard for soft ground boots (longer studs). If anyone is unsure give Mike a call.
Parents, other relatives, friends and supporters are very welcome. Admission will be by a programme which will cost £1.
Get a good night's sleep and eat your tea!

Last League Games, Cup Finals, Nights Out and Next Season
Thursday game v Irby Colts
With only three players definitely available, and needing to be fair to the opposing team to get themselves organised, we have called off Thursday's game with Irby Colts. The points are likely to be awarded to Irby but the League Committee will decide.
Saturday game v Wirral Ladies.
Our final League game takes place on Saturday at home with a 9:30 kick off, but only if we can get a team out. Can all players please let us know of their availability by Thursday eve. If we can't get enough, the game will be called off and Wirral Ladies will get the points.
Presidents Cup Final v Irby Colts
This is now confirmed for Wednesday 3 June with a kick off of 7:15. All girls are asked to arrive by 6:45. The game will take place at Glenavon FC which is literally right next to M53 junction 3. We went to look at the ground last night and the entrance is easy to miss. Further details to follow. Admission to the ground for parents and supporters will be by a programme which costs £1
Night Out
Now confirmed for the evening of Friday 12 June. We will do an activity (hopefully Laser Quest) followed by a pizza. Their will be a cost, further details to follow.
Next Season
We have entered 3 teams in the Wallasey League for 2009/10, u12s, u14s and u16s. It is a very good league and we feel the girls have really beneifitted from the standard of football. The alternative was to play against 3 or 4 other teams in the Chester League, but we felt that the travelling was worth it.
Heather and Mike will run the u14s (with Simon helping out) , Robbie Mills the u16s and Paul Bowman the u12s.
We need to get all girls registered for both the Wallasey League and AFC Waverton. The forms for the latter are on the home page of this website. We will be in touch with you very soon with more details as we wish to get everything sorted by the end of June.

The calm before the storm
Wirral Hawks 6 - AFC Waverton 1
The Wirral Hawks last game of the season was never in doubt in collecting the points, but this was a real celebration of their title win and both teams enjoyed a good game played out in a friendly atmosphere. With only 5 girls from Waverton, Wirral Hawks lent us three girls Monica, Jess and Elsa and they performed excellently against their team mates.
Ellie lost the toss to go in goal in the first half and did really well but couldn't stop the score reaching 4 by halftime. The Hawks are really strong and some of their finishing was top class. In the second half Caitlin went in goal and the Hawks got another two before a handball in the box presented Waverton with a penalty. Emma stepped up and slotted the ball home in the left hand corner. A couple of minutes later, Ellie was brought down and another penalty was awarded. Ellie took it but hit it wide. Lily and Elia got through the home defence a number of times and were unlucky not to score.
A nice way to end the season for the Hawks but for Waverton the most important game of the season will take place just down the road next Wednesday evening.

Game v Wirral Hawks away - Tuesday/End of season night out
Wirral Hawks have won the League and their last game of the season is against us this Tuesday at Arrowe Park with a 6pm kick off. Wirral Hawks have said that even if we can't get enough players they would still like to play and will lend us some players from their squad just so we can have a game. Emma, Caitlin, Lily, Elia and Ellie are available and poss Hollie. Meg, Lucie and Kiera are away.
UPDATE - DIRECTIONS - TAKE M53 to Junction 3. Turn left (first exit) and go up to roundabout. Follow signs for Arrowe Park Hospital (you will see it in front of you on the left), go past it along Arrowe Park Road. The field is on the left behind the wood. Either enter immediately after the Hospital (I am not sure whether you can get onto the field there with a car) or go up to next junction and turn left into Arrowe Brook Road and then go alongside the field and turn into a car park a little down the road on the left.
For the Sat Navvies, the postcode of Arrowe Park Hospital is CH49 5PE
Can all players who are available please let Mike know on 07901 552261 or use the poll on the right.
Provisionally our night out will be Friday June 12 and the girls have said they'd like to go to Laser Quest in Chester and then for a Pizza. Mike and Heather will go so parents can leave the girls. We'll keep you posted.

Who is the leading goalscorer?
Today the AFC Waverton statto can reveal who has scored the most goals so far this season.
Here it is:
Elia 15
Lily 12
Kiera 12
Caitlin 8
Emma 8
Ellie 7
Hollie 2
own goal 1
So Elia is leading so far with 15 goals but Lily and Kiera can catch her if they do well in the Cup Final and any other games this season. The most goals scored in one game was Caitlin away to Delta Colts in the League when she bagged five, followed by Elia who scored four goals in the game against Wirral Rangers back in October.
There are lots of candidates for best goal of the season but that's another debate.

Five star magic
AFC Waverton 5 - Delta Rangers 1
The evening magic continued as Waverton beat Delta Rangers in the same convincing style as they beat their Colts counterparts last Thursday.
Waverton lined up with Lucie in goal, Hollie and Meg at the back, Birthday girl and captain Ellie, Lily and Kiera in the middle and Emma up front. Elia started as sub.
Emma opened the scoring and Ellie grabbed the second in a repeat of her goal last Thursday running and cutting in from the left and firing past the 'keeper. 2-0 at half time although Lucie had to be at her best to keep the clean sheet.
In the second half a great move down the left put Lily away who cut in towards the middle and hit a low shot just inside the left hand side post for the third goal. Hollie (the scream) came on and went up front to replace Emma with instructions to score. She duly obliged hitting one in when the ball came to her inside the box. Cue special Hollie goal celebration. Lucie and Meg swapped positions with Meg taking her turn between the sticks and Lucie giving her legs a run.
Kiera had been threatening to score all night with numerous shots that just went wide but hit one right on target in the final five minutes to claim the fifth goal. The Rangers got one back right at the end for a consolation when a break saw 4 players running against defender Lucie and sub keeper Meg. Though Meg was very brave and got a bang on her head for her troubles, she couldn't stop the Rangers from scoring.
This was another great win for Waverton and they really are playing as a team and producing good football. Bring on that Cup Final!
MOM - Lucie Parkinson, for Delta Rangers - Chloe Rowlands.
Referee Matt Frost
Keep posted for news of Saturday

Up for the cup
Delta Colts 2 - AFC Waverton 5
A five star comeback at Central Park saw Waverton storm into the final of the President's Cup by beating Delta Colts for the second time in less than a week.
The game kicked off late due to the late arrival of the referee, so it was nearly 7:20 when captain Elia kicked off. As was the case last Saturday, we went down to six players to be fair to the Colts who only had six fit players. Kiera and Emma volunteered to start off on the bench.
For the first 10 minutes it was mainly Waverton with Elia, Hollie and Lily putting pressure on the home goal. After that though a fast break from the Colts put them into the lead as they outnumbered the defence.
Kiera and Emma came on and it was Kiera who got the equaliser when a long range shot decieved the keeper. On a Colts break forward a strong tackle from Ellie injured one of the home players and after the restart it was Ellie herself who stormed forward down the left and then turned towards goal and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the net. Hollie complained that her shin pads were too itchy which at least meant she stopped moaning about being cold!
In the second half Waverton were kicking up hill and into the setting sun. Meg took over from Lucie in goal with Lucie dropping into defence alongside Hollie. A great piece of persistence from Birthday Girl Elia down the right led to her winning the ball, taking it forward and putting in a great low cross which Lily smashed into the back of the net. Keira increased the lead with a low shot. Colts got a goal back and were really determined to stay in the competition but Lily sealed the win for Waverton with a shot from just outside of the box.
Waverton now go into their first ever Cup Final where they will be play Irby Colts.
Team : Lucie, Hollie, Kiera, Lily, Emma, Ellie, Meg, Elia.

Sunshine and Sweetcorn
Delta Colts 1 - AFC Waverton 5
After Tuesday's disappointing defeat it was a return to winning ways with a comprehensive display against Delta Colts at a surprisingly sunny Oxton Park.
With only 6 girls available to Delta, we went to 6 too with Lily losing the ballot and starting off on the bench. Straight from the kick off though Waverton were dominant with Caitlin and the energetic Emma going close a number of times. The deadlock was broken after about 10 minutes when great work from Lily on the left side and Caitlin found Elia on the right who unleashed a fantastic shot right high into the far corner of the goal. A candidate for goal of the season definitely and well deserved.
Caitlin grabbed a couple of goals herself before half time including an excellent shot from well out which screamed into the net, but on the break the Colts scored an excellent goal beating the otherwise brilliant Meg standing in for the absent Lucie in goal.
3-1 at half time. In the second half the Waverton girls continued to dominate although the Colts were unlucky not to get another back and were kept out by some fine goalkeeping from Meg.
Continued pressure from Waverton lead to another goal when Hollie shot through the crowded defence to claim her first goal of the season. Very well deserved moment for a player who has improved so much this season.
Ellie's runs forward were a feature of the game and she was very unlucky not to score when she unleashed a brilliant shot from way out which dipped and went the wrong side of the crossbar. Lily too went very close a couple of times as did Caitlin. Eila's knee had been troubling her since the first half but as she came back onto the pitch replacing Hollie she grabbed the fifth goal following a neat flick from Caitlin which left Elia to calmly squeeze the ball between the 'keeper and the post.
Hollie hurt her ankle but its recovery was aided by a bag of frozen sweetcorn which Paul Harrison managed to blag from a nearby shop. Hollie went home clutching her boot and the bag of sweetcorn . Guess what's for tea in the Carter household?
This was another excellent performance from the girls who kept their shape, played as a team and were determined to win. Very well deserved you were brilliant.
Team: Meg, Hollie, Ellie, Caitlin, Elia, Emma, Lily.
Goals - Elia (2), Caitlin (2) Hollie
MOM - Caitlin Brooks for Waverton and Georgina Murphy for the Colts.
There is no game on Tuesday but we'll let you know if training is to take place on Wednesday.
