This week I announced to all the parents that I am stepping down as Stars manager and I’ve had a couple of people say thanks but most important to me is the response I had from Giorgia Laird’s dad, Julian. I’m really pleased and proud to get this below:
“Also, to respond to your important announcement - I know Giorgia has only joined the group this year but I'm grateful to you for the coaching you've given her. Thanks to the matches she's done with you, and the confidence she gained, she challenged the school to let her play football and she's now playing in one of the school teams - the only girl in the whole school to play football as the rest are condemned to netball! She's also started a girls football club at school, so one unintended consequence of your Summertown Stars coaching is a contributing role to a feminist revolution!”
Had the match this morning as well, didn’t do very well and got beaten easily by Oxford City. Had a few players from the Comets, they held their own and did okay. It’s been a while since we’ve had a game so everyone was a little rusty.
