The last word(s)

I thought it might be interesting to hear what Tony (Head Coach) and Carolyn (Pee Wee Manager) had to say after yesterdays exciting pee wee match . . . .
Carolyn couldn't have looked any happier after her 'angels & devils' gave an outstanding performance in their match against Oxford held at Farnborough Leisure Centre.
"Fantastic as always and I'm really pleased with the effort they all put in, I'm very proud of them".

Not surprisingly grinning like the Cheshire Cat after his daughter, Victoria Wakelin, scored her very first match goal (ever) Tony couldn't praise the team enough,
"they played really well, obviously we need to work on some things at training and we will but today they showed a lot of character, even though Oxford were winning they all kept their heads up and didn't give up, tremendous spirit and they should be proud of themselves, and of course we had 2 good goals from Tom and Victoria . . . ."

We couldn't agree more!
Well done pee wees!
Nice one coach!
Is thinking even the devils might become 'angels' after today Carolyn!
And thank you to the parents for their amazing support, the club salutes you!

FINAL RESULT:
OXFORD STORM 12 - 2 BANBURY BULLDOGS

Goal scorers:
TOM ALLEN & VICTORIA WAKELIN

GO BULLDOGS!

Banbury & district show


Help raise the profile of the club at tomorrow's Banbury Show by lending a hand on the Bulldogs stall. If anyone can even help out for even an hour it would be appreciated as Carolyn and Fiona will need a break if only to queue for the loo at some point between 10 and 4pm!
Plus it will be lovely to see you!
Good luck to the Seniors playing the Reapers tomorrow (yes you're excused but only till 2) and good luck to the youth players taking part in tomorrow's regional trials!
GO BULLDOGS!

When is 42 more than a number? When you're a Wakelin that's when!

Aimee (pictured above probably about to score), the latest Wakelin to sport the number 42 shirt in all things inline, our Pee Wee Captain for 2 years running, selected for the Regional Team in 2011 and 2012, member of our Youth Team at last years Nationals . . . .an already impressive list of achievements we think, however, the expectations that come with being 42 or a 4 to the others 2, are pretty massive.
First there was Chris Wakelin (42) an exceptional player, then just behind came Magic Wakelin (42), he who was Team GB's Junior Captain at last years Europeans and who has won more trophies than i personally have ever seen in my life, when they played in the same team Chris was (4) and Magic (2), we have it on good authority that this was Chris's proudest hockey moment, him as (4), Magic as (2) which really is just too ahhhhh for words.
So you see following in the skate steps of so many (42) achievements the pressure must be massive.
At tomorrow's regional trials our Pee Wee Captain is going to do her damnedest to be selected for a 3rd year. Of course we all wish her good luck but quite honestly luck doesn't come into it (I think it might be banned for all 42's) , nope luck doesn't come into it if you're number 42, every achievement comes from hard graft, sweat and passion, that's how it works for the '42s'.
Even so Good Luck tomorrow Aimee, you deserve to get selected, you've earned it.
GO PEE WEE CAPTAIN!

Good Luck Ellen!

Tomorrow see's our amazing Pee Wee goalie, Ellen Ryder, trying out for the Regional Team.
Obviously we all wish her the very best of luck not that Ellen should need it given she's the best Pee Wee goalie in the land!
GOOD LUCK ELLEN!
