Only if this is what our girls want to happen. We may have a couple of options, with this in mind we will invite everyone involved with the current u18s to a informal (pub at WOTG) evening meeting at the end of Feb or beginning of March so we can all gauge the feelings and commitment of what we can realistically do as a team together!

Sunday 17 JanuaryFixtures– although it does not look like we have many fixtures left we have in fact got at least 5 even 7 Games (if we get to the County & League Cup Finals.) It will mean that friendly games will play a big part in our continued success, you must assume that every Saturday and Wednesday from now on, we will either be having a game or training! Any parents or players who know now dates that they can not make on a Sat. or Weds. please advise Steve or Pat ASAP.

Saturday 22 August – Mark Bird our leader had a phone call out of the blue last week from Beds FA informing us that they had chosen Woburn and Wavendon FC Lionesses as the recipient of a no strings £250 grant from the FA. This award is for fair play and respect and generally the way the club as a whole conducts itself right from the players on and off the pitch, to the supporters, to managers and coaches as well as the way it is run and its place in the Bedfordshire footballing community.
We should all be rightly proud of this award and I think it is something that should be communicated to all parents & players throughout the Club.
Well done to all and what a fantastic positive note to start the new season with.
