Football Talk

After an uneventful week end last week we hope to see a full week end of football, no updates last week as snow, ice and rain put paid to any hope of football being played.

This week end see the under 9s, 11s, 13s, and 16s in action and we look forward to seeing them playing some good football, especially the under 9s, a new team that are learning and any coaches favourite team to be with, keep showing the progress girls.

The ladies also have a home fixture at 2pm down Kilsby Lane, main pitch as the team like to show off there skills then into the club house to watch the remainder of the Carling Cup final of Man United v Aston Villa.

It does not seam that long ago but it is now 12 months since I took over as manager of the ladies (originally just to see last season out and stay in the premier league, no one wanted them so I stayed on to manage this season!!), one thing has pleased me the most is the work ethic of the team, from bottom of the league to the upper parts of the league this season with a strong bond of a team, I mention work ethic as for any team preparation is key and for this team last summer was the turning point, and now with the added under 16s training with the team the future growth looks good with members of the youth learning the football the ladies play, on that another transformation from kick ball to football so many areas of the ladies have improved I could not point to one thing that has seen the most improvement.

The Weekend ahead
First up is Saturday training with the 16s, 13s then 11s and Youth, then to plant some trees down Kilsby Lane, home for a sleep before managing the under 11s away to Ibstock on Sunday then a quick journey back to manage the ladies for 2pm KO, then a watch of the final before home and changed and back to a meeting for 7pm, guess the week end is gone again, but I only do it to get out of work!!

I look forward to next weeks Rugby Town blog update and to hear some good football stories from managers of Rugby Town after the week end of football.
