What a year 2022 has been. Can safely say my favourite year of coaching. We were thrown ups,downs,setbacks but created some incredible memories. I couldn’t ask for a better environment to coach in, with a fantastic group of players & staff. Here’s to 2023 & more memories 💪⚽️
Couldn’t be prouder to manage this club for 100 games, the growth since being involved has been phenomenal. The players & staff make my role so much easier & so enjoyable.

So proud of this team, to prevent a team like Portsmouth from scoring is an incredible feat. There were tough moments during game but our togetherness pulled us through.
Last years points tally beaten another superb achievement, what a season, what a group 👏🤍.

Really proud of this group this week. 3 extremely challenging games where they left everything on the pitch!
I know this group has such potential long term.
In the short term if they give that fight, desire & passion for the final 6 games. That’s all we can ask as staff💪⚽️.
Average age of our starting line-ups this week:
Chichester (H) - 2️⃣0️⃣.4️⃣
London Bees (A) - 2️⃣0️⃣.1️⃣
Gillingham (A) - 2️⃣1️⃣.8️⃣
Three incredibly mature performances for such a young group ⚽️
Whilst we wasn’t at our best today for the whole 90 the reaction to going 2 goals behind was superb. This group continues to show what an exciting squad we have & here’s to making more memories across the 23/24 season.
Thank you all for the fantastic support once again 💪⚽️.
Extremely proud of the group today. The way they applied themselves both in & out of possession was a real joy to watch. They have been rewarded for the dedication they have put in the last 7 weeks.
Now to regroup & go again this week with games coming thick & fast 💪⚽️!
Can’t wait for the season to now start. So pleased to keep the majority of our squad together & delighted with the 5 signings we have made. Large amounts of experience playing at a higher level, will only improve the quality & standards of this squad. Now onto Sunday💪⚽️.

Hopefully we will be back playing football in no time, a game that provides us with such highs & such lows at the same time, but you wouldn’t change it for the world 🥳.

The game finishes 1-0 to Southampton. A real battle out there today & in the end a large spell of possession in the second half for the visitors gave them the three points. Excellent application from the women today who can be proud of their performance to take into next week.
Week two of pre-season training complete ✅.
A great environment to be around with players showing the desire to improve both technically & physically from minute one ⚽️.
