LADIES COACH
JAMIE MCKENDREY
Jamie KcKendrey has led a successful junior girls team and brought them through to the Ladies senior level, and recently taken over the reigns as 1st Team Coach.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to today’s game where we host GT7 ladies.
Towards the end of last season we traveled down to Kendal to play GT7 in the league cup. Following a goal a piece for each team the match looked like it was going to be decided by penalties, only for us to score a 90th minute winner!
During preseason we also played out a 2-2 draw with GT7 so it’s expected that there won’t be much between the two teams again today.
Last Sunday the ladies played away to Colne FC and continued to build on the previous weeks brilliant performance in the FA Cup. Whitehaven were quick out of the blocks and soon took the lead through Grace Houghton. Colne then equalised almost instantly through a penalty, however this didn’t affect the ladies who reset before going on to produce what was easily their best performance of the season so far. Final score was 6-1 to Whitehaven with the hard working Grace Houghton bagging a hat trick!
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 two 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 Christine Moffat Driving Services, Ball sponsor DENTCO, and food sponsor The Sunnyhill Pub.
Enjoy the game!
LAST TIME OUT COLNE FC WOMEN 1 WHITEHAVEN LADIES 6
Last Sunday saw our Senior Ladies looking to bounce back after a narrow FA Cup defeat on penalties against Darlington FC Women. Our perfromace that day was very good, and the Ladies continued in that vein. A long journey to Cone FC Women awaited the Ladies with Erin Marley a late withdrawlr through illness. The Ladies were undeterred, and came back with the 3 points after a dominate 6-1 victory. Goals from Emi Rudd, 2 for Ashleigh McAllister (sponsored by ANC Flooring), and a hat trick for Grace Houghton (sponsored by The Sheply Group).
