FINAL!!!

 

Preparation for Sundays Cup Final will start on Saturday  with a light training session at 10.30 at usual venue.

On Sunday we all need to meet outside Deva Stadium at 08.15 where we will hopefully be able to gain access to ground to do 1/2 hour warm up before KO at 9.00.

Can you please make sure boys have full kit,  trainers, boots, shin pads and  Hannah's Hoodies as training tops please.

Their is no restriction on ticket allocations, their will be a small entry fee for all supporters, programmes will also be available on the day.

Important

Unfortunately the league are adamant that we can only play 10 on the day and with a 12 man squad  i will undoubtedly have a couple of disappointed individuals. I do not know if i have to name the 10 in advance or whether i can just use any 10 out of the 12 as the game progresses.
 I have been aware of the rule since the start and have until now been able to work a system (agreed with other team managers) that has allowed us to involve all players in different proportions. This system has resulted in recent successes which i believe has made our Saturday's an enjoyable experience.
I would like to think that all 12 consider themselves as valued members of a TEAM and that in some shape or form have all contributed to the success we have achieved and enjoyed to date.  As it stands i do not intend on telling the  team that this rule exists and will be encouraging all of them  to participate in the occasion as a squad member -  regardless of how long they play for or even whether they play at all.
It is our job as coaches and parents to make this an enjoyable occasion for all and recognise that it has taken 19 games to get to this one of which everyone has played a part in.

Finally

Can i remind you all that after winning the final on Sunday, Melanie Barker & family have kindly offered to host a BBQ to celebrate the end of a great season.

Start Time  - 12,00

Please check email sent last week for contribution list.

See you all Saturday.
