I'm delighted to announce that I have signed 14 players already to compete this season in what is almost certainly going to be one Under 18's league. Obviously, this means some of my players will be playing 3 years up as 15 year olds, but this is permitted. Personally, I have no worries at all about any of my younger players, they proved to be a talented team last season, so I don't see anything changing. We welcome into the team Beth who has played goalkeeper for a number of years and is looking forward to playing with new teammates.

Decision making on the pitch will be paramount as Manager and Coach agree to 'Let you play' and avoid too much commentary - the question can't be will we manage, it's a case of the girls stepping into ladies football now. Can we be like Jurgen Klinsmann?
