I was spot on with my prediction then

That's five in less than two games since her return last week. I wasn't there to watch, Mothers Day duties.

Great to hear; presumably fully physically recovered from the injury? (which seemed nasty/long lay off)

 

[grecIAN Harris]

Only time will tell Andrew. Yes it was a very nasty, long and frustrating (for all at home) injury. Back with a bang and hopefully that will continue for the rest of the season and the side come home with some silverwear this season in the shape of thee League Cup.

Great ain't it? I've got to read Exeweb to find out whether my daughter has scored or not. Only one, I s'pose it's one more than she got at Ottery earlier in the season when she couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo'.

Ha! Though the good news is that the mere fact of scoring one goal has become such a common place that it doesn't merit special mention in the household!

To be honest, Chloe came straight back from football and into work. By the time she came home, I'd gone to bed.

I'm hearing of potentially very interesting developments for The Development Side next season. The whisper is that they will be playing a regional reserve league next season with the likes of Lewes, Swindon and Keynsham if it comes to fruition. It will certainly be the step up in standard that the side needs to close the gap between them and the first team and make them more readily available for Aaron and Abbie to select them. My only concern is that if the current attitude from the first team (that's management and players) continues then it will render the whole idea pointless and won't change the two club set up within the club which, in my opinion, is instigated by the first team management. At the moment first team players who aren't in the matchday squad go to the game and just watch. They could be playing for the Development Side to a) keep themselves match fit and b) help improve the position of the Development Side and even improve some of the better players by having the opportunity to play with better players. At present the first team and the development sides train completely independently of each other, I'm told they now don't even warm up together. Since last years Devon Cup Final I have yet to see either Abbie or Aaron watch a Development Side match. Obviously if the first team are playing then they won't be there but there have been opportunities for them to come and run their eyes over the side to see who may or may not be worth looking at for a later date. As I've said, if the club are to make the most of this then attitudes need to change.

Last league match of the season for The Development Side, away at Westexe ko 2pm. They're still involved in the League Cup so there's at least one more match to go.
Lily Burton is currently top scorer for the season with 19 goals from 16 appearances with Chloe three behind her on 16 goals from 8 starts and 1 appearance off of the bench.
