It was great to get back to training on a Wednesday evening and whilst it was a bit wet you all worked and trained really hard.
During this session we built on the work that we did on attacking and defending corners which is really exciting!
Now we have to put this training into practice during the next set of matches.
Our next match is on Saturday 18th January against Tiverton FC at home on the KGV fields (10.30am kick off)
We welcome back Dan after breaking his wrist and hope to have a full squad. Julen will be wearing the captains armband for these next two matches for showing great attitude and commitment to training and playing this season.
The starting team for Saturday will be:
Goalkeeper – Sam R
Defence – Sam P, Cameron and Oscar
Midfield – Joe, Will P, Ryan and Julen
Striker – Alfie W
Starting Subs: Will A, Alfie R and Dan.
As you will remember we played well against Tiverton last year and were unlucky to come away with a draw so it will be good to see how all our hard work and training is paying off!!
As ever help with setting the goals up will be appreciated. The weather is looking showery, but the pitches drain well so we should be okay.
Cameron’s Party!
It is great that so many of you can come after the match to the Golf and Country Club to help celebrate Cameron’s birthday.
Fran has arranged for us to use the changing rooms at the Golf and Country Club before we eat, it could be a muddy and wet match!!
We will finish at 2.30pm (sorry not 3pm as I may have said!)
Exeter City Match Day
As last year Nigel has organised a special day for players on the 8th February.
Hopefully you will all had the flyer but if not then I will try and attach one to this blog entry!!
As you will see it gives players the opportunity to train with the Exeter City coaches in the morning as well as watching the game against Portsmouth in the afternoon.
As a result of this opportunity the match which we had planned against Okehampton will have to be rearranged! More details to follow.
If you would like to attend this day then it is essential that you return the forms to Nigel (via me if you wish) ASAP and certainly by the start of next week.
Rearranged Matches
The matches before and after the festive break were postponed as you know due to the weather.
When matches are postponed the home team (in our case CS Leopards and Colyton) contact the league who allocate an alternative date.
It is not something that I am seemingly unable to influence.
Therefore the rearranged matches thus far are
Saturday 22nd February AWAY at Colyton Redsocks (appreciate that we have matches on both Saturdays of the half term holiday)
Saturday 26th April AWAY at CS Leopards
Training Squad
We will be welcoming two new players to join our training squad on Wednesday nights which is exciting.
We hope that Sam and Ewan will be training with us over the next few months and then hopefully join the playing team in time. It will be good to welcome then to our squad.
New Kit Update
The latest news from the suppliers is that the new shirts have arrived and I will now need to get them printed with the team logo and numbered. Not long now!!!
Okay well that is more than enough from me, see you all on Saturday.
Come on City!!!!!
Mark
