Arrangements for next season and Vicars Cross tournament

Next Season

We need to complete the registration arrangements for next season asap, definitely by the end of June. 

We have entered three teams into the Wallasey League, at u16, u14 and u12 level. 

Kiera, Ellie, Lily, Emma, Meg and Caitlin will team up with Cara, Olivia, Ellie M, Nicola, Laura and Amy to form a very strong under 14 side. You all have played for a season with Olivia, Cara and Ellie so you know them well. 

Elia and Lucie will stay with the under 12s along with Hollie if she decides to stay for another season. These girls will be joined by a group of new girls who have been recruited from Christleton and Waverton Primary Schools. Lizzie who trained with us in the winter may also join the under 12s. 

Mike and Heather will move up to manage the under 14s with Paul Bowman taking over the under 12s. Paul has been managing junior football at Waverton for a while and his
daughter Isobel will also join the u12s. 

All of the Wallasey League games will take place on Saturday mornings (and some midweek games in the Autumn and Spring), so there will be no change from what you have all been used to. 

David Harker, who many of you will know, will act as co-ordinator for the girls football at the club. Robbie Mills will continue coaching the u16s. 

Heather and Mike will be sad to lose Elia, Hollie and Lucie, but we'll see you again in the 2010/11 season when the current u12 team will all be the under 14 side. Get it? We'll still be around of course to offer help and support. 

We need to get the registrations sorted. All girls must complete the two processes: 

1 Complete an AFC Waverton registration form. This is downloadable and printable from the resources page of this AFC Waverton website. Go the home page and resources is on the menu on the left. The form is the first one on the Resources page. This is the subscription for the 2009/10 season for the club. You will need to print off the form and return to Mike along with a cheque for £75 for the years sub by 30 June. This covers things like FA registration of each player, insurance, training equipment and kit, referee costs etc.

2 Complete a registration form for the Wallasey League. Mike has these and the good news is that this is paid by the club and Mike will complete most of the form for you as last season. You will just need to tell us if contact details, school, medical issues, etc have changed from last season. Also because the girls change so quickly, the League insist on two new passport photos. Please get these done asap. 

Mike will be in touch with you to agree how the information will be collected from you, but we need to do all this by 30 June. After that point, we will start recruiting externally for the teams. So we have given our existing girls until the end of the month to get signed up and we have guaranteed them a place in the squad if they complete all of the paperwork by then.

The above applies to Lucie, Holly and Elia too, Mike will sort out your stuff for you. 

Any problems, please give Mike a call/text on 07901 552261. 


Vicars Cross Tournament - Girls Festival of Football - Saturday July 4

We have entered the team into the Vicars Cross tournament given the encouraging responses on availability. 

The squad is: 

Kiera, Lily, Ellie, Emma, Elia, Hollie, Caitlin.  We have no subs so get to bed early the night before girls!


We are awaiting details from Vicars Cross, but we understand that they are really looking forward to us being there and the U12 age group is now full. It should be a great day and an excellent way to finish the season. 

You will need to reserve all day. The tournament will be held at Chester Rugby Club at Hare Lane. There will be no charge to the girls, the £30 entry fee is being paid by the club. 

As soon as we more details, we'll put them here.
