It's Offical - I'm now a soccer mom!

From now on my Saturdays and Tuesday are consumed by girls football. Under 11's (Forfar Farmington Athletic Girls )to be precise. Cali plays up front and seems to have quite a strike on her, may be a little baised but she is my little girl!

All our girls could play in an under 9 league, they are so little and Katie the youngest is only 7yrs old. They have been getting training from two of the 17yrs old girls, Becky and Jane, who are just fantastic with them. They now have games on Saturdays as well so one of the other parents has become a sort of manager and I've bcome secretary.

Saturday was their first time playing in the league and they all were so excited (us parents included)! They also really looked the part in their strips.

We lost 20-1. Our goalie was away on holiday and the girl who was bravely going to go in goal for us - her car broke down on the way to the game, so we were without her at the start of the match as well. And the girls they were playing against were huge in comparision, and had been playing in the league for some time.

But they so enjoyed it and never once got defeatest about the score. And at least Cali scored one goal.

Well done girls - you worked hard and played the best you could. That's all we ask.
