Back with a bleep!

Our victory on Saturday in a 3-1 win over Prescot Cables was surprising given the game was our first for over two months.
Expecting a real challenge to get us back to match sharpness, we perhaps surprised ourselves by producing some excellent football and carrying on from last season in terms of chances created.
Also, despite having five first team regulars unavailable, we managed to field almost two separate teams without allowing the quality of our play to drop. The debut of Bevan Humphries showed that his experience may well be invaluable to us this season and adds another option to what was the best defence in the Cymru Alliance.
With players unavailable the friendly gave the opportunity for lads to stake a claim for a first team place and Gaz Davies two goals and Ben Rowley's performance in goal would have done them no harm.
And then to training...
After the performance of the lads on Saturday we were rewarded by probably every footballers worst nightmare- the bleep test. A test designed to test your fitness, will power and lung capacity its an exercise carried out up and down the country at clubs during pre-season.
I must admit I've faired better but there was a good standard set by the lads and with the games now coming thick and fast, we will hopefully see the fitness levels required for the WPL.
This Saturday we host Corinthian Casuals in a game which we will again use to get match sharpness but also to maintain a winning habit we had last pre-season and carried through to the start of the campaign.
The hard yards we put in at this stage of the season will contribute to us be raring to go once the season kicks off.
