THANK YOU
TO OUR PARTNERS

MANAGER NOTES
HI ALL AND WELCOME
BACK TO ASHTON GATE
FOR TODAY’S WSL2
MATCH AGAINST DURHAM.
First of all, I would like to welcome
Adam Furness and his Durham
team ahead of what will be another
competitive game. Durham have had a
mixed start to the season so far, but we
know they’ll be coming here today to
try and get 3 points.
We were of course disappointed with
the result against Nottingham Forest,
but also very proud of the players
and the performance. To play with
the quality and spirit we did, not only
after three games in 6sixdays but
also with 10 players for 50 mins was
a testament to the players and I truly
believe that experience will help us
through the season. To create the
quality of chances we did, with both
11 and 10 players, meant we’d have
been disappointed with one point, so
to come away with none was tough to
take. Sophie’s red card has rightfully
been overturned this week, so we’re
glad to have her available this week.
Lastly, just from me and the players,
thank you for your brilliant support –
we are going to need you again today!
