All
Thanks for the amazing turn out at training this morning, in challenging conditions! Highlight of the morning was Jacob and Jakob's sliding tackles in 5 inches of standing water.
We have two fixtures planned next week and subject to availability we will try to keep the teams for those who were let down this morning by Princes Villas cancellation.
From now on, during the wet spell, we will use the blog to advise any cancellations. Please consult the blog before you get ready and head off. If there are cancellations we will update the blog just as soon as we know and this will be done at least 1 hour before KO time.
If the blog is not carrying a cancellation then the game will be on.
Thanks
Coaches

MATCH REPORT - SAT 20 DEC
Newton Athletic 5 : 5 Waverton Jets
A really impressive and worthy draw against the top side in the league, who beat us 8-1 earlier in the season. Coach Col reported that we passed and controlled the ball brilliantly.
Some great tackling, defending and breaking the play from Freddie, Finlay, Lewis and Rory M and goals from Frank (3), Toby (1) and James (1) put us in a position where we felt disappointed with the draw at the final whistle.
Thanks to our boys and to Colin for stepping in at the last minute for this unexpected fixture. It was a great end to the first half of the season.
Well done to everyone involved.

MATCH REPORT - SAT 13 DEC
Waverton Jets 3 - 7 Malpas
A tough game in very cold conditions against a well organised Malpas team.
Having taken the lead through Jakob (1) the game was end to end with Malpas going ahead at 1-2 and 2-3. Goals from Jacob (1) and Frank (1) kept us in the match and we went into the final 10 minutes 3-4 down. As we tried to attack, moving Jakob up top, we were caught by Malpas on the break as their outstanding striker took his tally to 5 goals.
The lads kept going and our passing improved in the final quarter with some neat play between Toby and Jacob. A great save from Jakob's fine run and a goal line clearance meant that we can be a little disappointed at the score line.
Malpas showed some good organisation and their passing and movement was impressive.
Well done to our lads.

MATCH REPORT - WED 10 DEC
It was great to see all our lads really keen and very excited to be playing under the floodlights against a strong Blacon side.
In the first game we took a little while to settle and understand our positions but as we grew into the game we scored a great goal from Lewis. Towards the end of the first match we began to understand our positions a bit more and some of our defending and goalkeeping was great.
Going into the second match we showed much more confidence and kept Blacon at bay for long periods. Our play was much better and highlights were Lewis' overall commitment to tackle, chase and carry the ball. Also Bailey was very unlucky not score at least a couple from his volley, his great run and his free kick. Special mention to Max who also really understood his positional play and the need to attack and be confident about getting the ball.
Well done to all the boys on cold and windy night!

MATCH REPORTS - SAT 29 NOV
Tough fixtures this weekend resulted in:
Game 1:
Waverton Jets 7 - 9 Ellesmere Port Rangers
A fantastic game in which we were ahead for long periods. According to Coach Col we just lost our way in the final quarter but against high quality opposition, who drew 3-3 recently with Newton A, this was a really great effort by all our lads. Highlight was some excellent goalkeeping from Jack and the usual goal haul from Frank (lots).
Game 2:
Waverton Jets 6 - 6 Ellesmere Port Rangers
A wonderful game for the neutral saw us go ahead and then pegged back to 5-2 down. A brilliant last quarter fight back from all our boys, saw us go up 6-5 with a minute to play only to concede a bullet shot right on whistle. Highlight was a 'beach ball moment' which set up Jakob's forth (of 5) plus Sion's good finish (1).
Saughall Colts 6 - 0 Waverton Rockets
A much improved Saughall outfit were on good form against us. Coach Steve commented on some really strong individual play including great runs and skills but that Saughall's overall team play led by two excellent midfielders was a little too much to cope with. But a great effort to keep going and well done to all the lads.

AFC Waverton Jackets
Hi everyone, me again.
We are planning to order training coats for
the boys with the AFC Waverton logo and boys initials on.
The rrp of the jackets is £25 but we have some
funding that we can put towards them so would only need parents to contribute
£15.
If you are interested can you please reply
here by Wednesday 3rd December as one of the coaches is due to see the supplier
the following day. I will need to collect
your £15 at training next week. If your boy is in a match that clashes with
training or cannot attend training next week let me know and I will give you my
bank details so you can transfer the money to me - we will not confirm any
orders if we haven’t received the money by the 6th.
Thanks again,
Marc.
AFC Waverton U7s Christmas Party
Hi everyone.
We have arranged a Christmas party for the
boys at the indoor Centre at Christleton high school at 1pm on Saturday 13th
December.
We will be doing some Christmas-themed
football training and games with Robbie and the coaches followed by food and
drinks on the balcony. There will also be Christmas presents for Robbie to hand
out to the boys.
Can you please reply to me here by 6th December to
confirm if your boy can attend so we can confirm numbers.
Please note there will be no training on the
13th so the last training session at the duck pond before Christmas will be on
6th December.
Parents are welcome to stay at the centre and
I'm sure some will pop over to the Ring o’ Bells for a few drinks afterwards
(Robbie is definitely up for it!)
If any parents are interested in helping out
with preparing the food please let me know and I will let you know nearer the
time how you can help.
No money is needed for the party, we will fund
it out of the weekly subs.
Many thanks,
Marc.
