Wasps 0 - 7 Cirencester

We had a football lesson from league leaders Cirencester today. They passed the ball well, moved well and defended strongly. Wasps fought well at times with some good goalkeeping, but any lapse in concentration was taken advantage of by Cirencester.



Learning points: by sticking to the basics we can do well against any side, but we didn't do the basics today - Passing. Marking. Not diving in to tackles. Moving into space. Chasing back.



MoM: Nicholas. Playing on his home pitch he defended well, especially in the second half.


Training Monday as usual. Due to play away at Wootton Bassett next week.

Team: Jonathan (GK), Charlie, Samuel, Johan, Tom H, Jay, Nicholas, Harry, Dominic


Please let us know if this is a problem.

Sunday 11th Cancelled

The school pitch is still frozen and all matches on council-owned pitches have been cancelled this week, so we have called off Sunday's match against Croft.



We are planning to train on Monday as usual at Liden - we will play if it's just cold, but may need to cancel if the surface is icy and dangerous. Assume we are training unless you hear otherwise by text on Monday.


Per-Axel and Tony will be taking training.



We will let you know ASAP about the away match vs Cricklade on the 18th.


It is likely that we will play some matches on Saturdays to catch up the missed fixtures against Croft.


Sorry for the slow start to the season - we will consider another indoor session if we continue to get frustrated by the weather!
