    At Canons High School we are thrilled to be official supporters of

    that provide potentially life-changing opportunities for our
    students, confident that by engaging these young people
    partners will benefit too.

LONDONBEES - v COVENTRY UNITED FC
From the Captain

    HI BEES FANS
    Firstly, I hope your all well and safe after a very
    unusual year.

    As many of you are aware, I’m currently taking some time out to
    have my first baby and I’m delighted to announce she arrived on the
    7th of December!

    It’s been a very different few weeks but I have enjoyed every second
    of them. Motherhood is even better then expected and I can’t even
    begin to explain the joy and love I feel towards her. My partner and
    family have been incredible in supporting me and I honestly can’t
    thank them enough. In a year of crisis, my daughter and everyone’s
    love and support has shown me that not everything is bad about
    2020, and I hope you’ve all had something to look back on this year
    and be grateful for.

    The players have shown recently their determination and
    togetherness to get results and we believe the corner has been
    turned. The league is getting stronger each year and results
    sometimes can go either way due to luck or timing; however the
    girls are slowly getting what they deserve. I am sure we’re on for a
    big 2021!

    As for me, I’m still recovering but as soon as I’m able and capable
    of getting back in the gym/pitch I will be. I’ve always voiced my
    opinion about getting back out there, and now I feel even stronger
    about that because I have a little fan behind me to make proud. I
    look forward to seeing you in the new year, please stay safe in the
    meantime and I wish everyone well.

    Happy Christmas Bees fans,

    Love

                          Meg (Alex) & family xx

This week has also seen the completion of the second legs of
the Champions League round of 32. Undoubtably the standout
score was that by Swedish quarter final regulars Rosengard,
who defeated Lanchkhuti of Georgia 17-0 on aggregate.
Meanwhile, 7 times winners Olympique Lyonnais beat Juventus
6-2, Barcelona beat PSV 8-2, VfL Wolfsburg, who won the
competition in 2013 and 2014, beat Spartak Subotica of Serbia
7-0, Manchester City beat Goteberg (Sweden) 5-1, Paris Saint
Germain won 8-1 against Polish outfit Gornik Leczna, Glasgow
City were beaten 3-1 by Slavia Prague, Chelsea demolished
Benfica 8-0, Bayern Munich claimed a 6-1 victory over Ajax,
and Atletico Madrid won 9-2 against Servette Chenois (of
Switzerland). The draw for the last 16 is expected in February.
Sunday 3rd January sees the second
round proper of the FA Cup take place.
Some notable ties include a Yorkshire
derby between Middlesbrough vs Hull
City, a tie consisting of two former WSL
clubs in Sunderland vs Sheffield FC,
former WSL sides Watford and Yeovil
Town are at home to MK Dons and away
to Keynsham Town respectively, and a
south coast derby between Southampton
FC and Plymouth Argyle.

                                           The group stage of the Continental Cup has now been
                                           completed. The clubs that have qualified for the quarter finals
                                           next year are group winners Aston Villa, Chelsea, Manchester
                                           City, West Ham United, Leicester City and Bristol City, as
                                           well as the two best place group runners up – Durham and
                                           Crystal Palace. Some notable clubs that have not qualified
                                           include Arsenal, who have won the competition on a record
                                           five occasions, most recently in 2018, WSL giants Manchester
                                           United and Liverpool, 2011 and 2012 runners up Birmingham

Carla Ward, the head coach of
Birmingham City, has this week
been charged by the FA for some
comments made after her sides’ 3-0
loss against Arsenal at Boreham Wood
earlier this month. The side travelled
to Hertfordshire for the WSL tie on
6th December, and were holding the
Gunners for most of the match, before
succumbing to three late goals after the
hour mark. Ward, who joined the side
in August, having spend the previous
two campaigns at the helm of Sheffield
United, was reported to have made
comments suggesting that the referee
was on Arsenal’s side, and that City
“played against more than 11, for sure”.
