Latest News

Hello Everyone,

Here we go again, a familiar story at the weekend,(8th Feb) yes the poor run of bad weather put paid to our fixture at Penyffordd. Hence I haven't had chance to put my match reporting skills to the test this year(That's if I ever had any). But, we did participate in a friendly(Indoors of course) on Friday thanks to the invitation from Shotton Steel under 9's. This, if anything taught us a lesson in the difference between indoor and outdoor football. We were slaughtered in the first game by a team who trains at this facility during the winter and are familiar with the intensity of the indoor game. That's not taking anything away from Shotton who have a very good team, and our thanks go to Mike and Stuart for arranging the game. We did improve as the session progressed (they did let us have an extra player though) and the guys kept their heads up, although there were a few 'red' faces about. We had a full squad of players on the night which also included a new player, so with a lot of rotation both with the squad members and positions, I am sure everybody had the necessary time out to catch their breath.


P.S. We secured a payment of £65.00 from the 'Bag Packing' stint at Asda, thanks to Elaine's persuasive skills.

Also, thanks again to all those who took part.

This went towards the cost of entry to the Summer Tournaments which came in at £85.00

See you all at training!!

Hi Everyone,

Happy new year to you all (Ok, I know it's nearly February) Unfortunately, this weeks home game (25th Jan) had to be called off due to the pitch resembling Lake Louise (Couldn't spell Windimere?) I was up there at 8 O'clock Sunday morning checking it out and had to make a decision, with the players safety foremost in my mind. We could of instead, practised our rowing skills for 2012.
So, we haven't had a game this year as yet, but I am sure they will all come thick and fast.

We have entered the teams into three Summer Tournaments up to now so, when I receive confirmation from the organisers Elaine will let everyone have the details. Also, Elaine has been working behind the scenes trying to secure our share of the 'Bag Packing' stint at Christmas.
This is proving to be not as straight forward as was first thought. Watch this space!!


Steve and I will have to dash off a tadge early from the Training sessions for the next two weeks as we are off to Mold to complete a First Aid and Child Welfare course.

See you soon!!
