Team nickname?

What should our team nickname be?

This blog refers to the team as the "98's" but both Maggie and Jadyn were born in 1999 so it doesn't seem appropriate. It's also kind of boring and stuffy - nothing like our team at all!

Team nicknames are often an animal or naturally occurring event. Nicknames after weather events, such as "FireStorm", "Thunder" or "Lightning" are always popular, as are animal names such as "Cougars" or "Wolves". We could also consider action verbs such like "Smash", "Attack" or "Eliminators" or completly silly names like "Purple People Eaters" or "Bone Crushers".

Bring some of your ideas to practice on Thursday and we'll hold a vote. However you should check the rules below.

Rule #1 - nothing starting with "Pink"
Rule #2 - no cute animal names like bunnies, kittens or pandas - snarling, vicious animals only please
Rule #3 - nothing that includes words like "leaping", "hopping" or "cool" (like "Leaping Lizards" or "Cool Cats")
Rule #4 - no insects (such as "Banana Slugs") - however "Grasshoppers" is an actual team in Zurich, Switzerland so the Russian judge might be tempted....and
Rule #5 - dont forget Rule #1

98's smash twelve past Sooke!

Another dominating performance and another lopsided win for the 98's. I actually lost count of how many goals we scored, but I'm reliably informed it was twelve! Robyn and Mara lead the way with three each, Erin and Kathleen chipped-in with two each and McKenna and Miranda added singles.

Next up is Gorge and I expect them to be a real handful. Gorge teams are always competitive and I think we'll need to be on our game to come away with a victory.

No Tuesday Practice

There is no practice tonight. I was unable to secure a field because of other users. We will try again once the turf field is available in mid-October.

Hope we see you all on Thursday.

First game of the new season

Wow, were you ladies on fire today or what! Whatever you ate for breakfast PLEASE do it again next Saturday. Almost from the kick-off we had the ball in their net and you didnt let-up the whole game. Well done ladies!

Here's the happy crew after our 7-0 demolishing of Gordon Head at Lambrick Park. Goalscorers were Maggie (2), Jadyn (2), McKenna, Nereda and Mara. The pick of the goals was Nereda's after great hustle and a inch-perfect cross from Robyn. Absolutely fantastic!

Next up is Sooke at Lochside Park. See you at training on Thursday.
