First league game v Heygarth this Saturday

Our first game in the Wallasey Girls League will take place at Waverton this Saturday (6 September).

All registered players are asked to meet at Waverton at 9:00am at the latest.

The team will be: Lucy, Lily, Keira, Ellie, Caitlin, Megan and Emma.

Heygarth are a great little friendly club from Eastham who made us very welcome when we went there in May to play a friendly. We are pleased to welcome them down to Waverton as our first opponents in our new league.

Training will take place at Christleton Primary School on Wed 3 Sept - 5:30-6:30 pm.

Rachel

It is so sad to learn of the tragic death of Rachel's mum. Celia was killed in a car crash on Thursday 21 August whilst on her way to work in Widnes. Celia was always on the touchline supporting and encouraging Rachel and the rest of the girls. The thoughts of all of us in the u12s team are with Rachel and her family.

There will be a minute's silence before the first game of the season (home to Heygarth) on Saturday 6 September.

League Registration for players needed urgently

Pre season training for all players will start this Saturday 30 August. Please meet at Christleton Primary School at 10:00.

Our first game in the Wallasey Girls League will be on Saturday 6 September and will be at home to Heygarth United. All registered players to meet at 9:00 am.

So far only Keira, Lily, Megan and Emma have fully completed their League and Club registrations. Will the parents of all other players please see the post below about requirements and ring Mike on 07901 552261 as a matter of urgency.

Signing on session - Saturday 23 August

All available players are asked to meet at the Queen Field Waverton this Saturday, 23 August at 9:30 am to complete their club and league registration forms.

We will need:

• AFC Waverton joining form plus cheque for £70 (some of the players have already done this)
• 2 passport photos and photocopy of either birth certificate or passport for the League registration (I have these from some of the players)
• Players and parent/guardian to sign Wallasey Girls League Registration.

Copies of all forms will be available on Saturday.

Completing this documentation in critical and we have to have it completed this week otherwise we could be faced with sanctions from the League or even worse. Players not signed on in time will not be able to play in the league games and if we can't register a minimum of 7 players we might lose our place in the league.

Please call Mike if you cannot make Saturday morning - 07901 552261 as we will have to make alternative arrangements.

The timetable for the start of the season is:

• Saturday 23 August - Signing on session - Queen Field Waverton 9:30am
• Saturday 30 August - First training session - Christleton Primary School 10-11am
• Wednesday 3 September - Training session - Christleton Primary School 5:30 - 6:30 pm
• Saturday 6 Septmber - First league game - Queen Field Waverton 9:00 am
• Tuesday 9 September - Wirral Cup game v Wirral Rangers (provisionally away) 6:00 pm

Club and League registrations needed

Registration forms are on their way to us from the Wallasey League for 2008/09 season. We will need to complete these swiftly and return them. All players will need to submit a photocopy of their birth certificate and two passport photos.

Some girls have already given me this documentation including some of the new players. If parents can get this information together, I will collect it and collate it all after August 9.

We also need club registration forms back and a cheque for £70 which is the fee for 2008/09. Again I will collect these or you can forward to my home address. Email me at mike.worden@virgin.net or ring/text 07901 552261 and I will give you more details.

We have had interest from a number of new girls wishing to join the u12s for the new season and all players from 2007/08 season need to re-register to reserve their place in the squad. This includes Lucy and Holly who are stepping up from u10s and for whom places will be reserved for them to register.

Enjoy the summer and keep up the footy practice.

It's the Wirral for Waverton

After weeks of agony, we have finally reached an agreement about which league the u12s will be playing in next season. Thrawted by insufficient teams in the Chester League and too many teams in the Cheshire Girls League, we have now been accepted into the Wallasey League for 2008/09. This is great news for the u12s who are certainly ready for another season of competitive football. It will mean playing home matches at Waverton (or possibly Christleton Primary occasionally) and away matches in the Wirral area. Another piece of good news of course is that it is on grass! Games will be played on Saturday mornings but kick off times may vary.

Our newly formed u16 girls side will also be playing in this League. It is a strong and well established girls league which includes sides such as Heygarth who we recently played in a friendly.

We need to get registrations sorted as soon as possible and once we get the requirements from the League, we shall be in touch with all parents before the start of the school holidays.

Incidentally the u14s will now be playing in the Chester and District League for 2008/09.

Strike, spare, split, help.

Hope all of the girls enjoyed the night out on Friday. The manager of Ten Pin says he should be able to do all the repairs to the lanes by the end of the weekend.

We need to tie up the registrations for 2008/09 before the start of the school holidays. We have circulated the club registration forms but if anybody hasn't got one, please contact Mike by this email link or on 07901552261. We will send round more detailed information about this via email or text.

We will update you over the next couple of weeks regarding the League position for next season.

The Chester and District Junior League has only had two applications from u12 girls sides for next season and so will not be running a league at our age group. This is extremely disappointing given the success of the League last season and the large number of girls playing football in the Chester area at this age group with their schools.

We are on the reserve list for the Cheshire Girls League and will find out on Monday 7 July if we can enter that league. We are also making enquiries of the Wallasey League. Failing that we have a couple of more ideas, but whatever happens we will be running an u12s team next year.

We'll keep this website updated throughout the summer.
