Match next friday

Dear Team and Supporters,

Thanks very much to those of you who managed to attend the training session last Saturday. For those of you who were unavailable we have arranged a friendly match against the U11’s this coming Friday at 6.30pm (Waverton Village Hall) Can you please be there for 6pm if possible to warm up and assist with putting up goals etc.

Some of you have been understandably concerned about the process we are having to go through in order to merge teams for next season. We can only reiterate what we have been asked to do by the Club....both the Rockets and Jets wouldn’t have had sufficient numbers for next year. Our options were limited if we were to ensure that as many boys stayed with AFC Waverton as possible and didn’t leave to join other teams...or possibly drop out of football altogether. The management team and club chairman have taken this process very seriously as we understand fully the implications of our actions. Ultimately we will have to make decisions on the squad composition based on a series of factors....strength in depth for each position, ability, loyalty, attitude and attendance at training/matches. We will aim to announce the squad as soon as possible over the next week.

To clarify we have 16 places available in the match squad and a further 4 places available for Associate Membership. Associate Members will be welcome to join all training sessions and will also have the opportunity to play in matches but not each week.
