LADIES COACH
PAUL MORGAN
Paul Morgan has led a successful junior girls team and has been at the club for over 12 years. He has recently taken over the reigns as temporary 1st Team Coach.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to today’s game where we host Accrington Stanley Ladies Reserves.
We have recently played Accrington away, and they came away with a 4-0 victory, so we know today we need to be at our best!
The away game against Accrington also left one of our goalkeeper’s Kaela Reay with a fractured foot. Everyone at the club wishes her a speedy revovery.
It has been a difficult few weeks with 3 games getting postponed through weather, or the opposition not been able to feild a team, so it will be good to get going again today.
It’s fair to say that it’s proved a tough start in this new league so far this season. But following encouraging performances in our last few games it now appears that the ladies are starting to find their feet and we are determined to continue that in today’s game.
Another home game means yet more generous sponsors!
So a massive thank you goes to Nuclear Waste Services, Amentum, Express Plumbing Supplies, HCS Water Treatment, Holmen, along with today’s Match sponsor Jim Youngman Carpets, Ball sponsor The Rack Shack, and food sponsor The Sunnyhill Pub.
Enjoy the game!
