Parkgate Tournament (26-7-09)

Hi Everyone,

Sorry this one is a bit late in coming (Much like the Summer). Well, this was our last Tournament of the season and you would of presumed that organising a Tournament for the end of July would of pretty much guaranteed good weather.
Not on your Nelly!! what a miserable day. The facility's didn't get much better either, this tournament was billed as "Bigger and better than last year", bigger maybe (Size isn't everything!) but only better presuming that last year's matches were played on an allotment somewhere in Bromborough. Anyway, that's the moan out of the way. The lads are proving a difficult side to beat judging by recent performances, yet again the team spirit was excellent, with only one loss out of seven games against some of the best teams on the Wirral.

Well done to all the guys!! and to the Parents for braving the conditions again.
I think we have had more soakings in the Summer than all through the Winter (oops! I'm off on one again)...

See you at Training

Hope Farm (Vauxhall FC) Tournament

Hello Everyone,

What a difference compared to the last Tournament, the facilities, pitches (Although we were unlucky enough to have probably the worst pitch) and the organisation was muched improved and so was the team, with only one defeat out of seven games. The guys were off on a much needed good run which gave them a huge confidence boost. Well!! it was Father's day. (not forgetting Mums) The Tournaments are providing us with a great chance to test our skills against a wide variety of teams from the North West including teams from Manchester, Liverpool and the Wirral (God's Country) Hence, I am sure we will be a better team because of this,come next season .
The Tournament ended on two high notes, the first one being a 4-0 win against a club with a good reputation in Castrol and, our striker was spotted and invited to go along to the Crewe Alexandra Academy were he can show off his skills to a range of Professional Coaches and hopefully do well..
Good Luck Lewis!!!

Next up is the Tournament at Parkgate, Wirral, which promises to be just as good.
After this we will be taking a well earned rest to recharge for the coming season.

Colwyn Bay Tournament (6-6-09)

Hi Everyone,

We thought the Summer had arrived last week but sadly we where tricked, the Winter conditions made a comeback, what a miserable day. The pitch was of a poor standard and sadly so was the organisation, with the Tournament over running by approximately 1Hour and 20 Mins.
The good old Gazebo made an appearance but not for long, with the bad memories of the last one still fresh in our minds it was soon packed away.
As for the games, there is a pattern forming that the guys are 'slow starters' with three defeats in the first three games. Yet again the lads ended on a high with a draw against a decent team from Whiston. We are still finding it difficult to score goals at present, but the lads effort and commitment is second to none. Well done to you all. I keep saying it but, all we need is a couple of wins to turn the tide in our favour ,and I am sure we will be off.
Next up is the Vauxhall Tournament which is organised by Hope Farm FC and is a six-a-side competition which should be interesting.

See you at Training
