Dear Team and supporters
Just so we can manage expectations a bit – unfortunately it is likely that our new kit won’t be with us for the first game of the season. Very frustrating considering when we ordered it... but there we are.
Therefore we will need to dust off last season’s kit- which for some may be a little of a squeeze and for others, who don’t have one, we are trying to get hold of some spare tops in time. Please bear with us.
See you at training 6pm Waverton village hall not Upton as originally advertised. We will train on grass this week in advance of our big opening game against Blacon Youth. We will announce the squad for this game on Friday.
With 17 in the squad we will ensure that everyone gets a fair run out this season and will be running a similar squad rotation. 17 players is more that the maximum number we can take to any one game and to ensure that we aren’t constantly chopping and changing on the day we will aim to take 14/15 players each week. It is really important to us that if you are feeling left out you must speak to one of us about it at training. Conversely, if can’t make a game in the weeks ahead then please tell one of the coaches as this will be a space for another squad member.
As I’m sure you can imagine, it is a really tough juggling act but we have a really good squad and want to maintain a great spirit in the tough season ahead. Everyone’s support with this is greatly appreciated.
Simon, Jason and Robin
