Big J R Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 May I offer my congratulations to Ebsfleet Ladies, who beat Horley Town Ladies FC 1-4 this afternoon at Horley's ground, thereby winning the League. I managed to catch the last 10 minutes or so after watching eldest Grand-Daughter play for the Horley Town Ladies Reserves. Ebbsfleet's champagne celebration on the pitch at the end of the game was spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their attack is good. Defence fair. Maybe just a bit of work is needed in mid-field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted April 6, 2009 Author Share Posted April 6, 2009 Originally Posted By: Bitch Nice one BJR How's the young lady getting on? What position does she play? Zara plays left back. A fast natural left footed player. She's still struggling with fitnes after her long lay-off with foot injury, thankfully worked on very well by our Dorking FC physio. The reserves are a co-joined team with the folding of the MV Chix, so some time is needed to gel, though all the signs are there. Even with two reserves going up into the Horley 1st team yesterday to play, we still had 14 players to choose from. END OF HISTORY LESSON !

As whoever gets promoted from that league could face teams like Charlton Ladies and Millwall Lioneses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 I wish the Ladies from Ebbsfleet well next season ! There isn't enough support for ladies/girls football these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUFC FAN Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It getting quite disturbing! I support EUFC and Kent Country Cricket club. The teams I pay to see play crap yet the girls sides win the their respective leagues! May be I am watching the wrong teams!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopper TN Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 JR, How old is your daughter? I know a lot of colleges in the US could use a good left-footed player and there are a number of opportunities to get an free education by playing football (soccer) here. Just a suggestion.

Big J R Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Zara, (GRAND-Daughter), is 18 and has recently transfered to Horley Town Ladies with some others from the region after our local Ladies team had to fold. This gives Horley Town a very strong first squad and the reserves normally field a full squad with three or four reserves. Zara scored on Sunday after being moved forward from left defence after pulling a thigh muscle. I'll be doing some fitness training with her at Meadowbank this evening before Bookham's home game.

I hope your right as I want my team, Enfield Town ladies, to get promoted out of the division but good luck to them next season what ever. p.s. With some of the strokes that are pulled they will need the luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As whoever gets promoted from that league could face teams like Charlton Ladies and Millwall Lioneses. When Enfield Town were up in the Premier league - Southern Division a couple of years ago it was a real struggle as it is like 3 divisions in one. There are 3 or 4 clubs battling for promotion, 3 0r 4 safely mid table every year and the rest in a fight at the bottom and we could never get into the middle section to settle down.

Sorry about the goof, JR, I had misread an earlier post. Seriously though, she'e the right age to consider coming over (and maybe could even wait another year). If someone could get videos of her playing and send them out to schools in the States, someone may be interested. A free education is nothing to sneeze at.

Big J R Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 She's quite happy as she is at the moment. She started playing a few years ago in the youth leagues, purely to keep her fitness up. More of a hobby really. She's at college locally doing the equivalent of an 'A' level course so has no desire to move away from this area.
