Title: For Anyone requiring a Footy Fix tomorrow
Post by: AltyTunnelSteward on May 22, 2015, 10:36:10 PM
Just a reminder that, as previously advertised Alty Ladies are tomorrow taking on the Isle of Man Representative side in a 3.00pm Kick Off at Clay Lane.

This is a big deal for the girls and they would, I feel sure, appreciate all and any support.

If you aren't familiar with Alty Ladies, Alty finished 2nd in the Cheshire League this season, yet another improvement over the previous season's outcome.

Please come down and have a look - I think you may be pleasantly surprised by the standard of football

I, for one, will be there.  Always enjoy watching the ladies play and enjoying a bit of banter.

The Ladies were unfortunately defeated 5-2 by a very good Isle of Man representative side.

Many thanks to all those who attended and supported the game. I believe from a number of spectators I spoke to that it was a good game and an excellent advert for Womens Football.

I cannot state strongly enough how much the Ladies appreciate the support.

Thanks to Mike Ripley for his photography skills, Alan Ainsley for his advice and assistance and to Judy, Richie and the Sports Hall Staff for the hospitality shown to the two teams

Well struck.

She spotted the keeper on her line.

I notice the Isle of Man team came and parked the bus.

Its really good to see the club fielding teams of all ages and gender. Run and assisted by willing volunteers.

All good signs for the future growth and progression of the football club.

I think we should be fielding mixed sex teams as well

I, on the other hand, am disappointed in YOU. I deliberately leave you an opening for a "three legovers" joke, and you pass it up. Standards are slipping.....

It seems like a very long season for the women's game?  When does the season start and end please?  Thank you.

In fact Women's Football is played all the year round.

The WSL (Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Everton etc) which you will see on the TV is a Summer League whilst the rest of us play through the Winter.

Alty Ladies first Pre Season Friendly this year was I believe in early August and our League Season finished on May 17th

Saturday's game was a friendly arranged to help the Isle of Man FA with their preparations for the World Island Games - an extremely prestigious fixture and an invitation we were honoured to accept
