Sussex girls development league Brighton Gulls 0 Lewes Lionesses 7

The good things about three weeks ago were that Paige Allen had an excellent game & Sophie Simmonds scored her first goal, the first of many I’m sure. Apart from that we played a team in red shirts that were not what they said they were. We can no longer win the league.

Sussex Girls Development League Lewes Lionesses 3 (Fuller 2, Wycherley) Brighton Gulls 1

What a joy this job is. Brighton were self-confessed weaker than some of the sides we play so I took a gamble and gave four “debutantes” a go, and played 16 players. My systems are that when we play 14 everyone . . . → Read More: Lewes Lionesses V Brighton Gulls 17/11/12
