WAGS 2 Denton Town 10 - 14's (Cup) 27/10/07


I'd just like to say girls a big thank you to you all for making me and especially Chloe smile today. Its been a very sad few days for her so when I told her the score and how you all played she was so pleased. I told her you was all asking about her and she says thank you all for the card and choccies, although I will get my hands on some of those lol.

We were 20 mins into yesterday's game when Chloe awoke from her surgery and got her mum to ring me. When Chloe spoke to me in her very quiet croaky voice (not the usual load mouthy one) the first thing she said was "what is the score how they doing", that's how much she thinks of you lot and our team, as we all do, play for each other as one.
I told her you all played brill yesterday, the passing and movement was fantastic, one-twos, give and goes, laying the ball off to runners going by, we had the lot - the best we have played this season by far. WAGS again played there part and though the score was 10-2 Wythenshawe still carried on battling, but they were just unlucky today that they caught us as we are starting to get into top gear playing like we were last season at our best. If we just maintain that tempo girls we will have a great season and certainly be challenging in the league and cup, but don't forget, we cant afford to relax and get complacent because, nobody is going to let us win, we have to give our all every game. There are a lot of teams whom will be challenging and if we aren't on our game, are capable of beating us. Some teams have improved as well from last season and recruited some decent new players so, remember that plz.
I'm enjoying the season so far and today's game showed we are going forward as a T E A M , not as I have heard similar comments before that we are a one or two player team lol. If any one watched today's game and has that opinion then I suggest they go play tiddlywinks or chess because I could have picked the girl of the match from anywhere on the pitch. So once again girls, thank you from me and Chloe because as usual you all managed to make us smile xxx

p.s. Chloe says dont get too comfortable because shes already on the road to recovery and and wants her place back lol

Now for my bit. Absolutely world class today girls, and the Yoyo/Megan partnership is really taking off, and as Alan stated above, the good performance was right throughout the team today. Another pen vs. WAGS - thats a pen every game bar one vs them, and of course Kayleigh converted once again. Amazing how these patterns emerge.

I like how Alan says WAGS were unlucky as they got us on a really good day. Funny, I was thinking the same thing about Chelsea - Man. City. Work's going to be really enjoyable tomorrow - NOT.
WAGS have some really talented players, and it's only a matter of time before they get their act together and become a force again. I thought they caused us some problems late on when they brought Dionne out of nets, both her and Beth are excellent outfield players.

Still, despite City getting slaughtered, I can console myself after watching your stunning performance, bolstered by the fact that I also enjoyed a really good morning with the Soccer School Girls assisted by Chloe W, Nic and Georgia. Here are the stats - I know, bit boring, but they contribute to the end of season profile like I did last season (and I bet Alan/Tim stay up all hours studying them but just won't admit it - LMHO).

10 mins 1-0 Yoyo
13 mins 2-0 Megan
19 mins 3-0 Megan
22 mins 4-0 Yoyo
29 mins 5-0 Yoyo
33 mins 6-0 Megan
Half time
41 mins 7-0 Megan
43 mins 7-1
52 mins 8-1 Yoyo
63 mins 8-2
68 mins 9-2 Kayleigh Pen
70 mins 10-2 Lauren

Our player of the match was Megan, and Alan chose Gemma (No.2) for WAGS. Wasn't sure whether to give ref Andy Cloake 7 or 8, but in the end, thought he did ok and opted for 8.

Special thanks to Mark and Billy for coming down to support from the ladies team.

NIGEL.
