Dear Team and Supporters,
On Sunday May 6th the Chester & District Cup Final will kick off at the Deva Stadium at 10.20am. We need to be there at least 30mins beforehand. More info will follow. We will train at Christleton King Georges Field on Thursday night (6-7pm)- next to the playground/cricket club and behind the pond. This is just in case there are matches on at Waverton.

Dear Team and Supporters,
It was a fantastic team performance today well done- your supporters did a good job too!
Just a reminder to everyone that the Cup Final will be played at the Chester City Ground on May 6th. If any of you are unavailable for this date please let one of us know asap.
We need to have all of your shirt numbers for the match programme on the day. Can you do us a favour and email them to Simon as soon as possible please. Training will be on this Thursday but we may change the venue if its as busy as last week at Waverton- please watch this space.
Many thanks
Simon, Jason and Robin
Dear Team and Supporters,
On Sunday we will play Groves Athletic in the Chester & District Cup Semi-Final. KO at the earlier than usual time of 11.30am. The game is at Bishops High School (please ask if you need directions)
We need to be there for 11am at the very latest and we must all wear full kit including winter training tops if you have them. Please make sure you bring drinks and something for a half time snack. Boots must be polished and early nights had on Saturday. Our nutritionist has advised you to scoff a good breakfast- bananas, porridge and toast no later than 9am Sunday morning.
We then need to be awake and ready to perform to our full potential as soon as the whistle blows (for KO not the end of the game!) We will be representing AFC Waverton on the day so be must stay together, warm up properly and remain focused. We should also remember that we have won the league and we should fear no teams put in front of us.
It has been a really tough decision for the Management Team to rest some of you this week (we are only allowed to take 16 players) – but we do hope that everyone will turn out to support the team on the day if you can. If we find it hard to substitute as regularly as usual we apologise for this in advance....sometimes it can be very hard to break up the rhythm of the team when games are close. This is not a reflection on anyone’s ability, commitment to the team or desire to play their full part....it is simply a judgement call on the day. There will be some great opportunities to enjoy days like this for everyone going forward.
The squad is as follows:
Harry Maltby
Phil Koutson
Mark Goldthorpe
Christy Mageean
Will MacKenzie
Callum Brunskill
Matthew Roberts
Matthew Parkinson
Sam Rackham
Adam Carlile
Tom Fotheringham
Jack Bailey
Chris Castle
Jamil Ahmed
James Thompson
Oli Jenkins
Rested this week
Arsh Adapala
James Fox
Phil Barlow
If for any reason you are unavailable to play on Sunday can you let one of us know as soon as possible.

Dear Team and Supporters,
Training will be at Waverton this Thursday 6-7pm. Please arrive as promptly as possible with a drink. If any of you are struggling with injuries please let one of us know. We would always prefer you to listen to your bodies and rest as a precaution. It is very important that you are all sensible about this.
Our Chester & District Cup Semi-Final takes place this coming Sunday at Bishops High School- KO 11.30am. Please be there for 11am in full kit including (if you have one, a training jacket) If you are planning sleepovers this weekend...please make them Friday night!
We will announce the squad later this week but we are encouraging everyone to attend to support the team.
See you Thursday
Simon, Jason and Robin
