Review of Ladies Season 2009/2010

Ladies 1st

The Ladies 1sts welcomed a new coach, Brian Scully this season. The team came on tactically in leaps and bounds but unfortunately the league table did not depict these efforts and they finished mid table. They reached the quarter final of the Leinster Cup only to be knocked out by the league leaders of Division 3. They were also unlucky to have been knocked out of the Irish Challenge Cup in Banbridge in extra time on golden goal.

Ladies 2nd

Weston 2nds had a great Season and has a lot to be proud of. From the beginning there was a huge commitment from both coaches and from the whole team. The team trained hard and improved as the season progressed. We got good results in the division 7/8 cup and beat both division 8 teams getting us to the quarter finals. Unfortunately Railway-from division 7 stopped us at this stage though.
The start of the season we had a few draws and unfortunate loses that sadly got in our way at the end of the season. After Christmas our true colours shone, we gave every team a run for their money and climbed the ladder on the league tables. It was a very exciting few weeks at the end of the season. We did our part and put it up to every team in the running for promotion. Weston ladies proved they could beat Phoenix Park for a third time, beat Naas twice at the end of the season but unfortunately it wasn’t enough. We finished joint second on 31 points with the Phoenix Park and they went up on the number of matches won. This was a disappointing end to a great season.

Ladies 3rds

Weston Ladies thirds team went from strength to strength this season finishing second in the Leinster League and securing promotion to Division 11 next season. The season began promisingly and it looked like the team had gelled well from the start. We conceded only one goal in the first four matches and lost one match, against Railway the eventual league winners, before Christmas.
The frost and snow interrupted the preparations and momentum in the New Year however our winning ways continued with good wins against Botanic, Newbridge and Malahide. The team then had an unlucky run and found it difficult to secure a win despite good possession and play. After stinging defeats against Clontarf and Dalkey the chance of promotion was slipping away. However the team showed they were indeed a force to be reckoned with by scoring an impressive 5 goals against Dalkey at home. A two nil win against Botanic finished off the season for the Thirds on a high. The strong team spirit of Weston Thirds shone through in the end.

Ladies 4ths

Weston 4ths finished 5th in their division where 14 teams played. This team ended up in a good position despite the difficulty it had each Saturday to get a team on the pitch with the result of many games being cancelled and rescheduled.
