At Home this sunday 11th of January

Fantastic performance from all of the players against Mitcham - "it only takes 9 of you to beat them" is our new mantra!!

The scene was set: 9.15am the first players start to arrive...it's VERY cold (yet pretty warm compared to how cold it got as the game got underway...ask Caroline..hope your feet have defrosted Caroline!), the pitch looks heavy and muddy, a rather bleak midwinter day actually.... 

During Warm up drills the girls are playful yet focused...most are cold tho...no suprises if you are not wearing base layers ..."it doesn't look good"... well you quickly found out that it's not about look in football, it's about efficiency...be as daring as Elin and even go for white layers! :-)

On a more serious note: PLEASE REMEMBER YOUR BASE LAYERS AND WARM JACKETS (no more purple lips!!) over winter (in case you were interested, I bought mine on this site http://www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/AD9815/adidas-Mens-3-Stripe-Condivo-12-Stadium-Jacket-Black-White

So there we are, it's only 10 of us..... .. but as Ruby rightly pointed out "we don't need more".

1st half is goal-less but hard fought from both sides, HR saving a goal on the line.. our forwards missing some great opportunities... that's how it goes sometimes...

2nd half...Jen is unwell... is now 9 on that pitch... Ciara organises the defense, HR/Sophia/Ciara/Kathryn combo is outstanding! - Sharna, captain for the day, decides to take matters in her own hands:1, 2 goals... miss Jones running the show in midfield (deservedly player of the match) crosses a perfect ball to Ruby who's great finish resulted in a 3-0 FABULOUS!!!

Sunday 11th is at home vs Sunbury.... we'll have the 3 points again :-) 

kick off at 1pm meet at 12.15 (Teddington Lock pitch)

Half or 10k - who is joining me? 22nd March

Guys

I have signed up for the Richmond half marathon (http://www.richmondhalf.com/) on the 22/03/2015 there is also a 10k happening at the same time - I was wondering if any of you would like to join me? I can just about do 10k so a half will be a push but it's all in the name of fun (well ...) - obviously it'll be good for the girls to sign up for the 10k if they want to

 Let me know once you've signed up :-)

I am betting £5 that Ruby will be the first to join :-) , reckon Lola might be next and then HR (who could never turn down the challenge)...... or could it be Ciara? ..mmmm....


PLACE YOUR BET!

Now....

Last game before Xmas !! let's have it!

Girls - I know most of you were disappointing with the result on Sunday against Woking but I am very proud of how hard you fought to try and win this - 5-6 was the final result and we spent so much time in their half that we should have been well ahead ....the cold, the wind and rain didn't help but nothing you toughies can't handle! onwards now....

Sunday 7th december details

Guys

I am still in total awe of your performance on sunday!!

• The clean sheet : brilliant defending from the back 4, played the off side, challenged everything that came their way, building from the back with the ball firmly on the ground to allow great passing. And of course great work from our goalie ruling her box and asserting herself against the opposition attempts to get close to her
• 8 goals: fantastic work from the midfielders, playing fast (2-3 touches) looking to play wide and move forward or pass back when needed - clever passing and moving
• Awesome finish from our 2 strikers, intuitive, powerful and skillfull - standing their grounds, both selfish and selfless at the right time 

ABSOLUTELY LOVED watching this game!!! beautiful and efficient football

Same again this time against Woking so that we can set a comfortable lead at #2 spot
