The girls played away this morning to Newhaven on a very windy, ( I mean VERY windy) pitch!
Steve left this one to me this week and I have to say I enjoyed every minute of it. All the players played outstandingly and I can't fault your performance at all. You all listened to everything I said and you managed to prove to everyone how good you are, by winning 8-1! Yes, 8 goals for our girls!
Now I need to remember who scored..
LIZZIE 3
NICOLE 2
SOPHIE WATES 1
JEMMA BRUNT 1
(and a own goal)
But, its not all about the goal scorers, the only way they can score is if they can get the ball too them, and thats what made our team so good today. You passed that ball around and looked like a TEAM! We started with a 4-4-2 formation but after being 4 -0 up at half time I made it a 4 - 3 - 4 to get them goals in! Newhaven had some good spells but fantastic defensive work and the Elleah saving it with her nose kept us in it!
Emily Maguire played fantasticly, the passing, the crossing, the confidence, the smile.. everything was perfect! Well done Emz!
If you play like that weekly you can easily be top of this league, you girls have done us all proud once again! Your good at doing that! Keep it up girlies!
Training at HCC tomorrow (Monday 28th) 6pm. I won't be there as i'm watching the amazing top of the league Charlton against 2nd place Huddersfield! Should be a good game, its on Sky Sports 1 7.45pm kick off!
Also, my team Maresfield won 7 -1 (just thought i'd add that bit in!)
So a great day for football this weekend!
Thanks to parents who traveled with us and faced the wind nearly making them fly and Martin for doing the line!
Bring on next week girls!

BAWKS YOUTH GIRLS VS BROAD OAK AND HORAM GIRLS.
1 3
Girls, another great performance from you all I hear. Steve has told me how proud he is of every single one of you and you have yet again proved yourselves. Other teams now see you as a threat, which is great! You un-nerve the opposition which is exactly what we need! I just wish I could see you every week, because you girls have made us so proud of you, we look forward to Sundays and can't wait for you to go out and do what you do best! Sunday 20th November the girls traveled to play Hawks Youth who were top of the league, I asked the girls the week before to do what they do best.. and I believe that's what they done!
Hatrick hero this week with Nicole getting the 3 goals for Broad Oak, and yet another solid performance from keaper Elleah and the back four; Gabi, Charlie, Carlie and Millie.
Broad oak started perfectly and managed a 3-0 lead at half time, couldn't have asked for more from them! In the second half they conceded a consolation goal and didn't score but never the less a fantastic result pushing Hawks Youth back down to second and us now third with 2 games in hand!
Well done to Millie for the girl of the game!
Hope everyone enjoyed the game and you need to remember that Steve and myself when i'm there do have loud voices, on the reason that we are telling you things to improve your game play and positioning off the ball as well as on it.
What happens on the pitch will stay on the pitch and is only said in the heat of the game, once the final whistle goes there will be no more shouting and there are never any hard feelings. Nothing said is offensive it's all in our good will to help you girls improve. I hope no one takes us being loud personally, and if anyone does have a problem please phone me and I will happily explain our reasons behind it, as i've said it is only to help the girls improve. Another thing whilst i'm going on about it, us coaches and manager are the ones you should be listening too, i hope no one gets confused by parents shouting too. If we ask you to do something, that is what we would like to you do. Of course parents can encourage from the side lines, no problem about that.. But when it comes to the football and positioning etc please do listen to us.
Sorry about the boring bits! But a big congrats to you all for today! Amazing!
Training Monday 21st 6pm Sharp.

Well done girls, a lovely 3 - 0 victory over Predators.
After a shaky start from the girls, they managed to sort it out in the second half and scored 3 against a tough Predators side. The girls started well, but then as the first half went on they started to loose their minds a bit and the football was a bit scrappy. They managed to keep Predators from scoring but didn't make it easy for themselves by treading on eachothers feet and just not passing the ball. Nicole had a goal disallowed by the offside flag and after that all the girls had their heads down. 0 - 0 as the half time whistle went and the girls came over, I had to tell them how it looked. I knew the girls could do a lot better than that first half performance and I asked them to make me as a proud as I usually am. And with no surprise of course they did, they listened and realized that they can easily beat their opposition they just need to put their minds too and it be a team again. They failed to disappoint me and Lizzie got the first goal, followed by Nicole and Emily Bigwood near the end of the game. Defense started getting used to where eachother were and getting in to a nice back 4 which Charlie occasionally pushing up. They were all solid at the back and Carlie one of our CB got girl of the game today. The girls worked well as a team and they were back to their old selves again.
A big thank you girls for listening and showing us who you really are! In the end, a well deserved win!
Start how you finished today, and you'll be fantastic!

Saturday was a great success with not only a great atmosphere with an attendance of 17 and a half thousand, Charlton put out an outstanding performance to win 5-2!
4-0 up at half time! Preston were no where!
All the girls behaved themselves perfectly (and the parents too!) and they loved it. I have to say, most girls preferred watching the fit players warm up and touching Dale Stephens' hand than the actual football! CHEEKY!
However, the girls must have seen how AMAZING the mighty Charlton played and decided they'd do the same on Sunday!
Last week the girls were beaten by Hangleton Rangers 4-0, and Yesterday they were to play them again!
The girls were determined to beat them, and push their way up the table! Well, they did it! They were nearly the same as Charlton but the final score was 4 -2 to BOJFC, although a source told me that Jordan Baitup was chanting " We want 5!" and "come on you can be like Charlton!" Or something along them lines!
Like per usual the girls put their heart into the game and every single girl on the Broad Oak side played amazingly. I shouldn't have to say how proud I am of you, because you all know it now!
This week Emily Bigwood found herself on the score sheet, along with Lizzie getting 2 and Nicole with one more. And birthday girl Laura King-Cox got girl of the match.
Girls, each and everyone one of you are doing us so proud. Keep it up!
Oh and yes, we will be going to watch another match don't you worry about that!
Thanks to all who came for making it as good as it was. Parents were very good and kids behaved.
Thanks Muchly!
Wickens

Amigo's! I'm back from Mexico and just can't wait until Saturday!
A few important things you must know before relaxing and enjoying the game!
Please be at Mill road carpark by half 11.00AM, as we will be loading the coach at 11.45AM.
All Broad Oak Girl players must wear their training kit, a nice thick warm jumper, with the blue Pura Bathrooms rain jacket as the outer layer, so I know who i'm looking for.
Any parents, family members and friends can wear whatever, please bare in mind it is supposed to rain all day Saturday YEY!
PLEASE NOTE: ANY PEOPLE WEARING AWAY TEAM SHIRTS OR OTHER FOOTBALL SHIRTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE HOME STANDS!! (Which is where we will be.)
Please bring a packed lunch or money for food and drinks, snacks on the coach is much appreciated, my favourite are Malteasers so i'll be expecting lots of them!! There is a burger van and places in the stadium but they will be expensive for what they are! Burger van is reasonable price but inside is a lot! There is also a Merchandise shop if anyone wishes to buy anything. (This will be our meeting point if anyone gets lost!! Not that they will if you all behave!) I will explain when the most suitable time to go to the shop and get food once i've been given the microphone on the coach! ;)
Each adult will be looking after their own children, as well as some adults will have to be allocated children who haven't got parents going with them. Again this will be sorted on the way there!
I think thats it, just remember to bring a bottle of water as your throats will be sore from singing too much!! And that's just on the way there on the coach!!
Enjoy yourselves! See you Saturday morning!
No. 1 charlton fan :D

A great performance from the girls on Sunday, you all did everything Steve asked of you and we can't thank you enough. 3 games unbeaten, lets keep it up girls! I hope you are all starting to notice how playing as a team, moving the ball, having fun and communicating is helping you win games. The team spirit is flying high at the moment, and I always see you girls smiling, for me, that makes my day whatever the score!
Remember girls, keep smiling, keep enjoying, and keep doing what your doing now, BEING THE BEST!

Sky sports 2!
Want a sneak preview on how amazing Charlton are who most of you are going to watch on the 5th November!?
This evening when you get home from training, if you have sky sports 2 (channel 402 on sky) watch Charlton play against Brentford LIVE at 7.30pm.
I won't be at training tonight, my doctor expects I have Glandular feaver, I had blood tests this morning to test this, fingers crossed I don't have it though! If I do have it, it means no sport for 2 months. Any money you have for me for the Charlton tickets please give to Steve, or give to me Sunday as I am going to watch the girls win!
Thanks

GIRLS!
I asked you to make me proud, you made me extremely proud!
I asked you to put your hearts into it, you did that!
I asked you to enjoy yourselves, and well I think you did that!
I can't thank you enough for listening, and putting that extra push in to win that game. You are a team, you are Broad Oak and Horam Girls!
On Sunday 2nd October, 12 Broad Oak and Horam girls and our marvelous linesman Martin Coleman (Thanks for that!) turned up at Tower Rec determined to make my poorly self proud. They set to play Hawks Youth Girls in the Under 13 League cup. After going down a goal (0 - 1) the girls fought hard the rest of the half, battling well in the middle of the park and making good chances.
Second half the girls went out with their heads held high. They were so determined and really wanted to win the game, they knew in the back of their minds it was all or nothing. There needed to be a winner, and they were making sure it was them! With about 15 minutes left of the game, Sophie Fell did what looked like a cross which ended up in the back of the net, smacking off the post into the goalkeaper who then fell into her own goal. (Don't worry Sophie, its your goal really.) I had to leave with about 7 minutes to go because I had my own football match (which I won 7-3 by the way, and scored :D ) I left Tower Rec thinking the game will go to Extra time, then I get a text from Steve telling me it was 2-1! We had scored, with 5 minutes left on the clock! Nicole this time, with a lovely pass from Lizzie. This just shows our team, there is no I in TEAM! I was so pleased with the performance and result, as well as Becky Miller (former coach) who was extremely impressed with you girls! You held your own, you showed your families, friends, coach and manager how to play football, and I couldn't be more proud!
To be honest, you've shown Charlton up!
I thank you.
That fantastic result takes us through to the quarter finals of the cup, which means we play Eastbourne Town Girls in the quarters this Sunday, a home game again 10.30am Kick off. So be there for 10am please.
Should be a great game, Unfortunately I won't be there AGAIN (sorry girls) but please, I want you to show me how good you really are. I want Steve to ring me and me to be so proud of you girls - like I was this week.
REMINDER: All those lucky enough who managed to get a ticket for the Charlton match, I need payments ASAP. £12.00 per person. Cash or cheque addressed to Anna Wickens.
ALSO: PARENTS: I want you all to be aware that Steve went up Tower Rec Saturday evening twice to try and mark out the pitch, because of the lines marker failing on him twice he went to get a part for it to make it work, then was at Tower Rec again Sunday morning at 8am to eventually do it. He then had to set the pitch up, nets etc with my help. After the match you all left, and Steve was left on his own to put it all away again. We need to appreciate the work he does before kick off on Sundays. All I ask is for one or two of you to stay and help get the nets in.
Thanks
Becky Wickens
