THIS WEEKEND - SAT 2 JANUARY

Hi All

There is no training on Friday night.

This Saturdays fixture will now take place on the Christleton 4G at 10am KO (so 09:40 arrival). I have left them a message to book the pitch due to all this wet weather! Just in case we get there and it's not available can the lads bring their boots as well as trainers, as the Waverton pitches will be free but muddy. 

We will take the whole squad and rotate as we did last night as this is just a friendly match against Tarvin, and the league doesn't start again until next weekend.

Next weekend we will pick up with the team that was postponed V Nomads before Xmas unless anyone isn't available.

Happy new year!

Rob 

MATCH REPORT - WEDS 30 DECEMBER

ROCKETS 2 : 1 TARVIN ATHLETIC

A really solid performance and super result against a good Tarvin side with a few talented lads. 

We played 7-side for only the second time and this suited us as we were able to rotate a few positions with both Charlie and William going into midfield for periods. 

The game was very even but we got ahead from a set piece when George whipped in a left footed cross which Zac got onto at the back stick. A nice goal against his old club!

In the second period Tarvin moved up a gear with one of their academy lads in particular starting to dominate. We defended really well, got our tackles and blocks in but were undone by a great corner and point blank header which Hugo got hands to and nearly kept out. 

Before the final period we talked about getting closer more quickly to their better players and not diving into tackles and this really paid off. We defended brilliantly and going forward we always looked a threat on the break. We scored a deserved goal when Harry broke up the play on the left side before beating a couple of players and firing into the bottom corner. Another great goal. 

The low scoreline, bearing in mind we played 45 minutes, showed that this was a high quality encounter with both teams trying to play and do the right thing. 

Hugo kept us in the game on a number of occasions, not least an unbelievable save in the final minutes which meant we took the victory. Hugo was named MOTM. 

Well done to everyone. We are now unbeaten in two months!

Thanks
Rob

TRAINING & MATCHES CANCELLED - SAT 12 DEC

Both training and matches are cancelled this weekend.


Message from Club Chairman:

Dear all

Due to the bereavement of a senior club representative we have decided to cancel games involving Waverton this weekend as a mark of respect.

This decision has been made following discussion with the Chester and District Junior Football league committee. I am advised that the league will write to clubs but, given the timing, I felt it important to share this with you as soon as I possibly could.

Regards, Julian

MATCH CANCELLED - SAT 5 DEC

Hi all

*MATCH CANCELLED*

Unfortunately Ellesmere Port just cried off saying their pitch is waterlogged! – I asked to switch to our place but they didn’t want to, so it’s probably something else! Maybe they heard we were unbeaten in November?!

At this late stage I’ve been unable to get another game as everyone else is sorted – so enjoy your lie ins.

Training is ON tonight as usual.

Thanks

Rob
