Under 11's Match Re-arranged |
|||
Unfortunatley the Under 11's match away at Sovereign Saints has been cancelled this morning following overnight rain making the pitch waterlogged. This fixture will be now take place on 27th April 2008 as part of a "double header", meaning that both home and away fixtures will be played one after the other on the same day at the same venue. In this case, we will be playing both games at home.

Weekend Round Up |
|||
With freezing conditions and a race around the clock to try and get the mini soccer pitch playable, today was certainly a bit of a test for all those concerned. The Under 11's pitch had been touch and go ever since the 8am pitch inspection and all hands were on deck with garden forks, brushes, sawdust and sand to try and eliminate the couple of boggy areas on the pitch. However, it was finally decided to use the lower pitch so off we went to firstly get and then erect the portable goals. The game itself ended in a 7 - 0 win with lots of the girls getting their names on the scoresheet. The Under 15's were up against Predators who had made the long journey from Bognor Regis and agreed to reduce the playing time to 35 minutes each way due to the weather conditions. After going into the half time break 0 - 1 down after a scrambled goal from the visitors, we thought that maybe this wasn't going to be our day. We needn't have worried though as shortly after the break, Beth scored a great goal to bring the sides level. This was followed by a penalty resulting from a handball in the box, which Paige tucked away nicely. A further two goals followed from Sharni and another goal from Beth completed the scoring. Final result 5 - 1 to Dynamos!

Weekend Round Up |
|||
Despite re-arranging this weekend's fixtures to be played away instead of at home, the weather beat us again and it was only the Under 11's game that went ahead at Eastbourne Borough. However, it seemed that all the planning and re-arranging was worth while as the girls produced an excellent 4 - 1 win. Well done - I know the conditions weren't that great, so congratulations on putting on such a fine performance!

Saturday's Training Cancelled |
|||
Unfortunately with the extreme weather conditions this week, it is not possible to use the Playing Fields for training or fixtures this weekend, and there is more rain forecast for the weekend. This means that training on Saturday is cancelled and the home matches will not take place. However, there is a slight possibility that we may be able to re-schedule the fixtures for the Under 11's and Under 15's by playing at our opponents ground, and as soon as we know whether this is possible, we will contact you and put details up on the website.

Weekend Round Up |
|||
|
|
The Under 13's kicked off with the early kick-off at home to Eastbourne Borough and finished their final league game of the season off with a 5 - 3 win - well done girls, you thoroughly deserve it! Next up were the Under 15's playing again at home, but on the unfamiliar top pitch due to pitch congestion on the usual pitch. The visitors were Patcham United who recently held Seahaven Harriers to a draw - so we knew that they would be a determined side, and that they were.... in the first half, they challenged for every ball (and won) whilst we appeared to be spectators on many occasions. However, the tables were turned in second half and it became much less of a one-sided game, but unfortunately it was a little late as most of the damage had already been done. A tough lesson girls - but hopefully you will learn from it. Finally with a 1pm kick-off away at Pevensey & Westham Juniors (aren't there any other teams in the league - I'm sure we play them every week!), the Under 11's played valiantly and as their manager said "it's the best I have ever seem them play". It was unfortunate that they didn't come away with a draw or a win for all their hard work and effort, but sometimes that's the way it is in football girls. You will be rewarded in terms of results if you continue to be patient and keep up the excellent work.

Weekend Round Up |
|||
|
We say a fond farewell to the Challenge Cup this season with our last remaining representatives, the Under 11's, going out of the competition at the semi-final stage with an exciting and closely contended game against Pevensey & Westham Juniors. We always knew that this would be a hard game to win after our two previous league encounters, but all the players were completely committed and gave every effort, which is all we can ask of you. Well done girls - you have done the Club proud! With another free week for the Under 13's, the Under 15's were the only other team to see action this weekend with an away fixture at East Grinstead. Despite having more than their fair share of possession of the ball, Dynamos were a little unfortunate to be on the end of a 4 - 2 defeat, especially as the home side's last two goals were against the run of play. Never mind, there's always next week to turn things around in our favour!
