Match report v Thornbury Town

Despite a good team performance, and comfortable win for us on Sunday, the game was overshadowed by the tragic death of Caine & Conor Walkers Grandad, Alan Coggins, who collapsed at pitchside during the closing minutes of the match.

The funeral will be on Weds Oct 7th, and it would be greatly appreciated if all Whitchurch players who featured in the game could attend.

I will be holding a collection at this week and next weeks training, to buy a wreath from the team.

I hope that everyone was ok after witnessing this tragic event, and I hope to see you all at training tomorrow night.

Subs and signing on fees

Sorry to go on about it, but quite a few of the squad have yet to pay the £15 signing on fee that is required to pay for the pitches etc, ensuring that we all get to play football every week.

A few of you are also behind on Subs payments, please bring them up to date asap, before the small amounts that they are at the moment, become large amounts.

Moan Over, see you on Thurs.

European U19's Tournament July 2010

As mentioned previously, we have an opportunity to enter the Inter Sport European U19's Tournament, which takes place in Hungary from 18th - 24th July 2010. We have to enter and pay a deposit by beginning of May 2010, and have the balance paid in full by 31st May 2010, so you have a while to save up some cash if you're interested in going.

Teams from over 35 different countries have been invited, so it should be a great event, and a brilliant experience for all involved.

If anyone has any further questions, come and see me at training Thursdays, or on matchdays, but I'd like to know of anyone who may be interested soon, so I know wether to plan for a trip to Hungary or not next July!!

I hope that we can raise a squad, I think we'll do well.

Bad result for us on Sunday, got done by a bunch of 'long ball' merchants!!

I know that we'll bounce back, and take out our frustrations on Thornbury when we play them next Sunday.

I still need everyone to get their signing on fees to me by the end of September, and then see how many are genuinely interested in entering the intersport European U19's tournament in Hungary next July.

I want to see as many outfield players as poss at Training on Thursday night, so don't let me down.

See you on Thursday,

The Gaffa.
