WELCOME
The new season has arrived and we are really excited to be
welcoming Cardiff City Ladies to Manadon for our first home
league game of the Season.
There has been a lot of change at the football club over the summer,
both on and off the pitch. We have had a limited pre-season due to       MANAGER RYAN PERKS
this, but the girls have been fantastic over the last three weeks and
have brought into the new style of football and ideas Mark and myself
have brought into the football club.
We had a disappointing result last week away to Keynsham but the
result didn’t reflect the game and we had many positives to take from
the performance, especially with a debut goal from Meg Williams.
The work-rate of such a young squad was excellent and the girls
continued to play and implement the plan.
Patience will be needed, both on and off the pitch, as this is a new     THE WORK-RATE OF SUCH
young squad and it will take time to gel and enforce the ideas, but we
are very optimistic for the future of the football club.                 A YOUNG SQUAD WAS

INTERVIEW
KATIE MIDDLETON

CAPTAIN
KATIE
It is great to be back playing football. We’ve
had a couple of pre-season games but there is
nothing like proper league action.
It will definitely be a different season to previous
campaigns, we have a new management team and a
lot of new players, many of whom are very young
and inexperienced. They are now playing at a higher
level and it will be all about giving them experience.
We will be working as hard as we can to reach
the highest level possible and hopefully we can do
enough to be competitive in the league. It won’t be
as easy to contest higher up the league as previous
years but we all see it as a challenge.
This season will be about development, giving young
players experience and I hope to play my part in that.
This is my 22nd season with Argyle and I need to
use all that knowledge to help the younger players
as much as possible. If we can improve these players,
give them a better understanding of the game, it all
bodes well for the future.
The changes behind the scenes at the club has
created a very clear pathway for players and it is
incredible to see. When I first started playing, there
was no local league football for girls.
From an Argyle perspective, we have teams right
the way through the age groups, feeding into the
development squad and giving them an opportunity
to learn the game. Adult football is obviously very
different to youth football and players need the
chance to adapt.
We have already had several youngsters making that
journey through the pathway and this season will
continue that process.There is no better way of learning
than by competing in the first-team environment.
