AFC Waverton 3 - Irby Colts 0
A great end to the Wallasey League season ended in our girls taking the Presidents Cup back down the M53 to Waverton after a great display against Irby Colts.
Heather's special message for the girls, sent all the way from Spain, was read out to the girls just before kick off.
A nervous start meant that for the first 15 minutes the girls didn't settle easily with little evidence of the great passing football that the girls have played for much of the season. Once the deadlock had been broken though through a Kiera corner which went straight in, the girls relaxed and were always in control.  Ellie shows her ball control skills and a knowledge of the handball rule
1-0 at half time the girls were told not to panic and keep playing their passing game. This is what happened and Ellie added the second goal running through and slotting the ball home into the far corner and then Meg chose a great time to score her first goal of the season tapping home a low cross from close range.
Meg chooses a great time to score her first goal of the season
Kiera stepped up to collect the President's Cup from Robbie McGlynn of the Wallasey League and the celebrations began. Thanks to Robbie, Hughie, Karen and all at the Wallasey League for their hard work in organising the evening and to all the supporters who travelled from Waverton. Well done girls. All of AFC Waverton is proud of you!
 Lucie keeps her cool even in the handshaking

AFC Waverton Jets 2 Castrol Athletic 1
Waverton Jets won the under 9 shield at the Chester & District Junior League Finals day this Sunday. A close encounter with Castrol Athletic saw the Jets take a lead half way through the first half with a great strike from Adam Bayley curling the ball with the outside of his foot from 15 yards to beat the excellent Castrol keeper.
Castrol came back strongly after half time and leveled the match with a goal on the rebound following a fast break and shot from their left winger.
The Jets held their nerve and reclaimed the league 5 minutes later with a well worked move which saw Jack Bailey score clinically on the break. The team continued to press strongly and could have made it a two goal league seconds from the end when the keeper saved bravely from a James Thompson shot.
The match ended 2-1 and sealed a league and shield double for the Waverton team |
