Just to clarify the current arrangements for coaching and managing our U15, U13 and U11 girls squads..

U15s: I had lined up a very nice lady called Sue Smith to coach and manage the U15s. Sue was very keen to do this. Unfortunately, due to a number of unforeseen circumstances, she is no longer able to get involved - at least for the next few months. In the meantime, I will coach and manage the U15 girls. My efforts to find one or more lady coach to work with the girls continue….if anyone knows of anyone who might like to get involved, please let me know.

U13s: Chris Lowe (Romany’s dad) has kindly agreed to become the girls’ manager and coach. And, as I think most of you will know, Martin Lyne (dad of Ellie’s and Alice in the U15s) has agreed to take on much of the administration connected with arranging fixtures, etc. Martin is also very keen to help with coaching whenever he can (though this can be difficult for him as he often commutes to London).

U11s: Richard Stone, my Co-chairman is the Youth section, is also very keen to help develop girls’ football in our club and he coaches U11 girls on a Saturday morning on a pitch in Upper Weston. If you know any girls who were U11 on 1 September 2008 and would like to join his training, please get in touch with Richard (Bath 444794).

Best wishes, Tony Day - Co-chairman Larkhall Athletic Youth FC
