Hi All
The above took place today, organised by our beloved head of Altrincham Girls, Rachel Davies. What a superb afternoon for all the girls. A meal, disco with a DJ and of course the presentation of end of season, and also the awards for each team. Our presentation this afternoon was wonderful, and we all enjoyed ourselves very much, both parents and children alike. All the girls received a trophy and well done to all the winners in each age group/team.
Can I also personally and publicly thank Lacie's coach Rob Tanti, and Rachel too, for awarding our younger foster daughter the Altrincham FC Juniors Club Sportsgirl of the Year award for 2021/2022. It has not been easy for her since she came to us 18 months ago, as our foster daughter with her elder sister, . Altrincham FC Juniors was one of the reasons why the girls have settled so well. She has been given this award because of her values with her colleagues and respect for the opposition, especially if they are injured. She is a true sportswoman, and is loved by her teammates and coaches alike, and also the parents. She has the large trophy on top of her bookshelf in her bedroom and is very proud of her award. This is an achievement against all odds, and I am very, very proud of her. The club has been vital to both the girls settling in with us, and they have played a major part in them adapting to their new life. They are staying with us now until they are both eighteen, so the club has two extra supporters ongoing. Most of you know them by sight as they are regular attendees. Thank you so much to the club for awarding this, sorry I was in tears when she won it, but I couldn't help myself. She holds dear, everything that the club is about and represents. See you all next season with both the girls, should be at most of the friendlies. Have great summer everybody.

Great post Steve. Well done to all the girls involved. How refreshing to read a good news story first thing in the morning. Starts the day off on the right foot. 😀😀😀

Hear! Hear!

You will also hear the girls chanting with the rest of their colleagues from their age group teams, in the main stand at each game.
Even the players can pick out their chanting whilst on the pitch, they have commented as the girls greet them off the pitch after the game.
The legendary Brian Flynn has also picked their chants out and ID'd them on Radio Robins. Both the girls adore and idolise the 1st team and management team. You can see how the younger foster daughter plays the ball out of defence, smacks of Shaun Densmore and Joel Senior, so they also have influence on her, with their style of play. She pays particular attention to watching the right sided full backs, which is her favoured position.
This is before I even mention her legendary Harpurhey tackles. Think of a scaled down version of Bobby Moore V Pele during the 1970 World Cup, his renowned Bethnal Green Flyer.

Made me smile that, Steve, as I was born and grew up in harpurhey!
Brings back happy (and sore!) memories of juvenile kick abouts in Queens Park and the Red Rec! 😉

Drive past Queens Park every day when I take the girls to Harpur Mount Primary. They move schools in September, not an easy daily commute! Four times daily!
