CAPTAIN’S NOTES GEORGIA

Bridges

After 3 weeks of no matches due to no fixtures and cancelled games, we are finally back at Hill Park.

Before the 3 week gap, we played Aylesford. We knew a professional performance was required, a ‘get the job done’ performance which was what we succeeded with.

Today will be a slightly different kind of test where we will play a well organised Dartford team. For both sides, the game is a 6 pointer and crucial to the league standings, so I have no doubt it is going to be a fiery, competitive game which myself and the girls are bang up for.

Despite the fixture gap, we’ve been working hard behind the scenes so we are ready for today’s game and the next run of fixtures. The team morale in this squad is one of the best I have ever played in and I think that is proving on the pitch.

We are really understanding how each player plays, and the new girls have slotted in perfectly. I feel genuine pride wearing this badge and captaining such a great bunch of humans.

I want to give a big welcome to Katie, Caitlin and Chloe who have all duel signed from Lewes DS. They are three young, talented players and are fantastic additions to our squad bringing even more depth and competition. I touched on it last week, but it’s a really exciting time here at Saltdean and I think the quality of the past 5 signings shows exactly that. Kudos to Zak,Tom and Joe for making things happen.

The girls and I are excited for the game, so get behind us and cheer us on loudly!
