Many thanks to Mark Livingston for having set things going earlier in the year down at Power League by encouraging Girls to train with his Mixed U8B Team. The Girls who attended those first 'taster training sessions' are pleasingly still together now and are looking towards competitive matches against other teams from 1st July when they become an U9 Girls Team.
The Girls are now really looking forward to taking part in the Lancashire County FA Festival of Football Event at the County Ground up at Leyland in early May, where they will be mixed with Mark's U8B team to form 2 separate teams. That looks like being a great fun filled day.
Many thanks to Kath Cookson, Brian Cookson and Paul McMahon for helping out at recent training sessions as we move towards establishment of a new Team Manager / Coach for the U9 Girls. The commitment of these Girls to developing their football skills supported by their parents also deserves full recognition. Any other Girls who are still aged 8 on 31st August 2008 are very welcome to come along to join us at Myddleton Lane on Wednesday evenings between 6.30pm to 7.30pm for training. In fact it should always be remembered that ALL Girls can play football in our teams here at Winwick, football is very much NOT a sport reserved for Boys !!
