CAPTAIN’S NOTES

Georgia Bridges

Hello and welcome back to Hill Park,

We haven’t played at home in what seems like forever, the girls and I are delighted to be back and to also welcome two new signings Amy Green and Lucy Jellet to the Tigers Den. They both bring a wealth of experience and quality to the team, and they have both adapted well. I can’t wait to see them flourish under the Saltdean badge!

It’s been quite a fragmented second half to the season with gaps inbetween games, but we’ve stuck at it and been consistent with our performances, now making it 5 games in a row unbeaten in the league. I’m so impressed with the development of this squad, not just in terms of technical ability, but also the mentality. This was highlighted when we played Dulwich and went 2-0 after 9 minutes but pulled it back and drew 2-2. We were actually unlucky not to get the win!

I’m really excited with the direction the club is heading in, not just on the pitch but also off the pitch. You might notice that the construction for the new stadium has begun, which is a huge turning point for the club and the Saltdean community.

Today, we welcome Aylesford to Hill Park. Every point is valuable as the middle of the league is extremely tight, we aim to continue our unbeaten run and keep building on the foundations that are being set.

Finally, a massive congratulations to our DS who reached the league cup final. We wish them the best of luck on Thursday! Enjoy the game.
