COACHING CORNER
Well… We've reached the end… That's it, I suppose… What will we do now that we've covered the major tactical and technical footballing themes…?
WE'RE GONNA DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!
For those who haven't realised, the first ever GDFC training block is in the books, and it was a doozy. We're going to work through it again, starting on Wednesday, with different sessions and focuses to keep your development at the heart of the club.
This week, we'll be looking at passing and receiving, and staying compact. Your coaches will be Ciara and Amy.
FIXTURES
We are looking for advanced / intermediate players to join a voluntary managers group to help manage and support with the Tuesday/Thursday beginners Super5s games and Sunday beginners 7/5aside LaLiga games. If you are keen, please let Ciara Robinson know via the chat function on the app.

Huge shout out to all the goals who braved Storm Dennis on Sunday! You’re all winners.
