Everton is delighted to announce
the Club’s second annual ‘Ladies Day’
THE Blues’
Barclays Premier League game against Middlesbrough on Sunday, 30
September 2007 is a day for the ladies.
In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month in October, Everton have
lined up a series of special events and a host of fund raising
activities to support research into the illness.
Following the success of ‘Ladies Day’ last season, the
Goodison Park club are pleased to reveal TV star and Evertonian
Amanda Holden as the face of the campaign.
The star of ITV1's Wild At Heart and a judge on the successful
series Britain's Got Talent, Amanda recently took time out to
explain why she is a keen supporter of Everton’s Ladies Day.
"I think it's just important to encourage, not just women, but
everybody to come to the football that week
My grandmother
had breast cancer a couple of years ago, so it's something that is
very close to my heart. She overcame it and is fighting fit, so
anything I can do to help is a bonus really."
Breast Cancer Campaign will receive £1 from each home ticket
purchased for the clash with Middlesbrough. In line with the ‘Ladies
Day’ theme, the match also marks a first for Everton – Giulia Bould
from Liverpool’s Radio City will be the first female PA announcer in
the Club’s history.
Throughout the week commencing Monday 24 September 2007, there will
be 10% off ladies merchandise in the Everton Megastore.
Said Tracy Weston, Head of Marketing at Everton:- “It’s really
caught the media’s attention, we’ve had lots of enquiries from
supporters wanting to find out more.
Everton has a strong female following but there is definitely room
for more. This is the second time we have organised such an event
and we knew it would spark debate and as a female head of marketing
I did give it careful consideration.
Everton’s ‘Ladies Day’ is a serious commitment to encourage more
women to Everton. If we get a few hundred more women at the game and
some of them come back then it is mission accomplished.”
Tickets are still available for Everton v Middlesbrough on Sunday 30
September 2007, kick-off 4pm. Visit

FC Juniors 2 (Midweek Fixture)
THIS fixture
brought together the top 2 teams in the division and both teams put
on a display of football that will give their rivals nightmares. The
early stages saw either team go close as they battled for the upper
hand, the breakthrough came as Formby broke down the right and
their forward placed the ball wide of Callum Jones and into an empty
net. Southport hit back and chances for Owen Drummond and James
Smith went begging, as the half progressed a lapse in
concentration at the back saw a Formby shot trickle over the line
for a 2 v 0 lead. Southport had it all to do and with a strong wind
in their faces they played the ball on the ground, shortly before
half time Sam Johnson for SFCJ broke down the right hand side and
a neat pass to Owen Drummond who placed a cross into the heart of
the Formby box for James Smith to rifle an effort into the net.
The 2nd half had it
all with Southport wasting chance after chance to get the equaliser
Anthony Brown and Tom Rogers for SFCJ were outstanding in all
departments as they set up the chances but Formby keeper was equal
to all, with 5 minutes remaining a move on the left ended with Dan
Thompson hitting an unstoppable 25 yarder out of the reach of the
keeper and into the net. It was all they deserved and with time on
their side they looked the more likely team to win the match but
credit to Formby they rallied round and in the final stages it was
them who let chances go begging to grab all 3 points.
The final whistle came and ended a truly eventful match with the two
teams playing some fantastic football, in the end neither deserved
to loose and a draw was a fair result. These two teams will
challenging for the honours again this season and the way the
players conducted themselves on and off the pitch they were a credit
to their clubs and league.
Redgate Green 1
Southport FC Juniors 9
After a tough game in
midweek Southport Manager Richard Bainbridge had the luxury of
rotating his squad and rested some of his players. The fixture
against Redgate is always a tough game and this was no exception,
both teams battled for the upper hand in the early stages and either
team could have taken the lead. It was Southport who got their
rewards when Will Wilson beat a number of Redgate defenders and
placed his shot inside the near post, that opened the flood gates
for Southport who added further goals from James Smith, Jorge Jones,
Arron Ken and a blockbuster from Dan Thompson. Redgate never gave up
and always posed a threat but with Tom Rogers in demanding form in
the midfield his orchestrated many a move for Southport and battled
for every ball when Redgate had possession.
The 2nd was similar
to the first when Southport added further goals from Owen Drummond,
Ryan Pytel, Sam Johnson and Oliver Cunningham pushed the game
beyond Redgate. Redgate played some great football and were rewarded
with a goal that started in the own half and the shot from the edge
of the Southport box gave Callum Jones no chance. Robson Baldwin,
Rob Handsford and Anthony Brown were superb for Southport battling
for every ball that came their way and set up many attacks,
unfortunately neither could get the goal their efforts deserved. The
game ended as it started with both teams playing some great
football, Tom Rogers was nominated man of the match for a faultless
display in the centre of midfield.

Town Green 6 - Redgate Yellow 6 (Midweek Fixture)
At 5-2 up, Town Green
thought they had this match well and truly sewn up but they had not
banked on the tenacity and resilience of Redgate Yellow. An
enthralling end to end game of football ensued with Redgate pushing
and testing the Town Green defence bringing the score back to 6-5.
With one minute to go Redgate broke past the the Town Green defence
and were 1-on-1 with the Town Green keeper. Miraculously, Anthony
Caunce kept his cool and parried the ball away for the Redgate
corner. With the minutes ticking away, a well taken Redgate
corner rebounded into the back of the net making the final score
6-6.
This match was played
at break neck speed and the spectators could hardly catch their
breath, let alone the players. Both sides played some beautiful
football and both keepers were kept busy. Jake Beeksley and
Danny Pugh stood strong at the back for Town Green and were as
dependable as ever. Jack McGregor battled at every opportunity and
George Newell made some breathtaking runs down the wing, as did
Connor Stockwell.
Town Green's goals
came from Connor Stockwell, George Newell (2), Jack McGregor (2) and
Callam Birchall. Each and every goal was well taken and timed to
perfection. This game was played like a cup final with each
team playing as though the World Cup was at stake. The stamina,
pace and agility of these under 11 boys knows no bounds and many a
professional player could not have done better than these boys on a
cold and rainy Monday night.
This match scored 10
out of 10 for entertainment value. Town Green's Man of the Match
was Jack McGregor.

Crosshouse 2 Burscough 4 (Midweek
Fixture)
Burscough had the weekend off and the extra rest looked to have
given them the edge in this encounter. They hit Crosshouse like
a whirlwind when they scored 4 times in the opening half. The
pacy Cam Cox opened the scoring when the got in behind the
Crosshouse defence to steer his shot home. Danny Woodward added
a second as the visitors gave the Crosshouse defence the run
around. The pace of the Burscough front line was
impressive and Cam Cox added his 2nd of the night before Ste
Nolan completed a 1st half rout just before the half time break.
There must have been
some hairdryer treatment by Jimmy Kelly the Crosshouse manager
because Crosshouse came out like a team possessed. They used the
strong wind to their advantage and played a more direct game. Ben
Grogan gave them hope after 10 minutes when he scored his first of
the night. Lewis Francis went dangerously close twice as
Crosshouse became more and more desperate. Then Ben Grogan got his
2nd of the night and set up a grandstand finish.
As the light started
to fail a lightening break from Burscough left their striker 1-on-1
with the keeper. As he rounded the Alan Riddoch in goal he must have
thought that he had scored and turned away to celebrate his goal but
Andy Glennon refused to accept that they would scored and burst
every sinew in his body to stop the ball from crossing the line.
Time waits for no man and time ran out for Crosshouse as they
suffered their 3rd defeat in 4 games. Certainly not the start they
wanted, and as for Burscough, they move up to 3rd place and are
handily placed for an assault on top spot.
