SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 27TH

This Saturday we will be training at Waverton as we do not have a league fixture. Start time 09:30. If this new time suits everyone then we will make it our regular training time - I know that many of you will be ferrying kids to all sorts of activities on Saturdays so I hope there are no clashes. Let me know on Saturday what you think.   As you are all aware we had a terrific start to our season with an away win at Castrol last Saturday. The boys played well and the result gave them a much-needed lift. It would be an idea to get one of the boys to write a match report each week and post it on the website -  let me know what you think and we can get started.   To answer a some queries which I have had over the last few weeks:   Mid week training: I have provisionally booked one session at Christleton sports hall on Wednesday Oct 15th from 18:00-19;00hrs. We would have to pay the cost ( £18.50 for half the hall ). If this is suitable I could make a block booking for the winter. We can discuss on Saturday.   Coaching sessions with Lee Burke: I have emailed Lee for some potential dates but have yet to receive a reply. I will inform you as soon as I hear.   Training tops: Some of you have mentioned obtaining training tops / jackets for the boys. I will make enquiries with Queensferry Sports regarding price but again, we would have to pay for these ourselves.   As our squad has changed slightly from last year and we have had some kits handed back can we do some top swapping to sort out the sizes. We still have 2 shirts without sponsorship - if who ever has these can bring them on Saturday I will try to get them printed for our next fixture.   Finally, a reminder for everyone on Saturday mornings - please make sure that you take all kit away after training / games. I still have some tops etc from last year that have not been claimed   See you on Saturday, Andy.

Saturday Sept 20th v Castrol Athletic

The first fixture of the season is against Castrol Athletic on Saturday Sept 20th. Kick-off is at 10:30 so please arrive for 10:00. The venue is the Castrol Sports and Social Club, Chester Road, Whitby ( Ellesmere Port ) Post code for directions ( sat nav or AA Autoroute ) is CH66 2NZ   Note that this is not the same venue as last year.   Please ensure that players have full Waverton kit ( don't forget shinpads ), a drink and that they have a top or jacket to wear when they are not playing.   Could you please all take 5 mins to read the Code of Conduct for the Chester and District Junior League which is on the league and fixtures page of our website. This year the League will deal very severely with any incidents. As under 9 coach I am responsible not only for the behaviour of the boys but also the behaviour of Waverton parents and supporters. We must stay positive, give encouragement and make sure that we set a good example every Saturday.   Finally, if anyone has any questions or if players are unavailable please call me on 01244 570246. See you all on Saturday, Andy.
