  Speaker 10: ball and you play it to your other players.
• 6:47

  Speaker 10: And I understand you're playing the team from Island Sheppey
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: tomorrow and Firefly by all accounts, it's a strange name
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: for a team.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: It certainly is. Certainly is.
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: In the away fixture you beat you beat them three

  Speaker 10: near I believe we did.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So we played them at their grounds over in Sheerness.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: It was not the breaks, the pitches like a play field.
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: I think it was a pitch. It was the girls
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: where they come up trumps. Yeah.
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: It's no easy thing to go away at any any
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: sort of ground, and obviously when you're playing on a
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: not particularly good surface and you come away with the
• 8:16
  Speaker 10: victories makes it even better, it does.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And all seasons they've they've been doing that. They've
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: had some really tough fixtures against some brilliant teams and
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: as a team they've come together and beat and everybody
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: in the league so far, and I'm sure that they'll
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: they'll continue that tomorrow.
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't forget. They just need a point.
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: Will We'll let you know where they're playing and what

  Speaker 10: and looking forward to tomorrow's game.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Can't wait? I am.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I said this morning to Emmy when I picked her up,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: that I've been like a little kid all week where
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: I've just been so excited for tomorrow's game. I can
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: only imagine how how they feel. But yeah, we can't wait,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: can't wait, have built up for it all season. It's
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: in their hands now. So yeah, it's gonna good.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Long, hard season.
• 12:01
  Speaker 10: And I mean last night I was at I was
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: at Sitting Boorn versus Burgess here in the playoff final.
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: We covered there for Seaside's radio, and you know, Sitting
• 12:12
  Speaker 10: Boorn had got one hundred and nine one hundred and
• 12:15
  Speaker 10: one points and they didn't get promotion. I mean, it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: a hard whole season and you know, to go down
• 12:22
  Speaker 10: it ended up in penalty kicks in the end, but
• 12:25
  Speaker 10: not to get promotion, and that it was awful. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: I'm sure that you know, even from the late men's
• 12:32
  Speaker 10: adult teamed right down to the kids under fives and
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: the sixes, you know, everybody puts in the same sort
• 12:38
  Speaker 10: of effort and you put the commitment into your team
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: and you know, obviously you want to do well.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: But it doesn't always happen, does it? In football?
• 12:48
  Speaker 10: That's I think that's why we love it, isn't it.
• 12:51
  Speaker 10: You can't always be winners and there always has to
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: be a winner. And a loser as you draw. But
• 12:56
  Speaker 10: at the end of the day, I mean the team
• 13:00
  Speaker 10: you're playing tomorrow. We believe the bottom half of the league,
• 13:04
  Speaker 10: the team in second place that could compete you for
• 13:08
  Speaker 10: the title.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: How many points are they behind you?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: So it's actually the team in third. So it's Witsta
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: Ball Reds, who are a fantastic team. We played them
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: three times this season, they've all all every game has
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: been really close. So they've got they've got three games
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: to play. We've got just the one. Okay if if
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: which I can't see it happening. But if we were
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: to lose tomorrow, we can still only come joint top.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: Okay, not that that's going to happen.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: There's nowhere in The girls are going to smash its.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: Splash it, Emmy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 10: You're going to lead your team out there tomorrow, and
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: you know you're got to. You've got to give another
• 13:48
  Speaker 10: extra ten percent from somewhere you get behind them. Even
• 13:51
  Speaker 10: if you do go down the goal early, don't panic
• 13:53
  Speaker 10: and get the girls going. And I understand that you
• 13:57
  Speaker 10: know there's only three of you here this morning, but

• 15:03
  Speaker 10: How did you two get into the coaching the under
• 15:06
  Speaker 10: twelve teams in boys, Liam Craig.
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: Asked me last last summer. So my daughter was playing
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: for Folkston before then.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: I was coaching boys another team for about nine years,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: probably a little bit similar sself, but you was Folksing
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: before me, and as a dad, I mean I did
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: have boys football for years and my daughter came since
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: she was kind of four years old, tested me to
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: play when she got to seven, and then you kind
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of naturally as a parent, falling to you your daughter's team,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: so I kind of followed her with kind of craigs.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, sim of the thing.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: And I think with coaching youth football, it's it's a
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: majority of the time it's one of the dads or
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: two of the dads of the the boys or girls
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: that played football.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: And it was.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Three beginning of the first season that Raya joined, had
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: too fantast that coaches Dave and keV Kelly, who I
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: know has been in on the radio a number of times.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Dave unfortunately needed to move on because they were both
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: coaching their son's team as well, and I was helping
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: out kind of from from the day that I joined.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: I it's a big commitment, isn't it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: When you take on any sort of sport and you
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: know you're obviously one hundred percent behind it or and
• 16:25
  Speaker 10: you're very committed. So you know that obviously is shown
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: through with the girls this season and then the doing
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: well in the league.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: It is a massive commitment, but it's one that is
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: an absolute pleasure, especially when we've got a team like
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: we have.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: The group of girls that we've.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Got are probably sitting over there with big smiles brushing them.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: They are.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Every single one of them is absolutely amazing and it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: really what's what has kept them going all season and
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: that's why they're in the position that they are to
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: win the league tomorrow because they're such a great bunch
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: of girls and they really kind of support each other.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously fantastic to hear with.
• 17:01
  Speaker 10: You know the lots of changes Folks in the Victor
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: with Josh Healy taking over. Are you flying under the
• 17:09
  Speaker 10: literally the Folks in the Victor banner under Josh and
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: the receipt Because I know there's a lot of change
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: in the youth set up at folksing the Victor this season.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: How would that go? How would that be for you
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: going forward? And to be honest with.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: You, the new setup at Folcusing has been absolutely amazing.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: I agree.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: We've seen it this year with the first the first
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: season that we've had the women's team you mentioned earlier
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: that they have gone on to win the league and
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the support the Josh the rest as the director's first
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: team all the way through the support that they provide
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: to us as coaches, but the girls as well is unbelievable.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: And getting the opportunity to be ball girls for both sides.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: For the season.
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: Yeahot, I thought, I seeing a few of you out
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: there ball people.
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: We can't say ball boys now, can we.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: And they regularly attend the games anyway, as well as
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: well as the winning women's games.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: You mentioned earlier about Hayley coming in. So Mark's daughter
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Izzy actually coaches along with Paul under thirteens yep, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: we will will play each other on a Monday.
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: We'll play friendly.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Against our under thirteens and Easy will do a lot
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: with the girls, so she will take so the ones
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: that aren't playing on the pitch at the time, she'll
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: come and do some drills with the girls every single
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: mon Monday. She makes a point of coming to speak
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: to all of the girls as well.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: So brilliant. That's fantastic. I mean, that's great.
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: I mean next year, I know that the pitch will
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: be gone in the next few days. I believe it's
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: been dug up next week and the new click pit,
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: a new pitch, will hopefully be down for the start
• 18:44
  Speaker 10: of the season. Will you be hopefully using that one
• 18:46
  Speaker 10: as your your home games.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Well they so where we're going to we'll have the two.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: So we're going to be fortunate enough not just have
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: one free g We're going to have the two within
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the club, which I think where we've gone away to
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: play against teams that nowhere near as fortunate as what
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: we are to have the training facilities, plus the game
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: the match day facilities that we do. Adding a second pitch,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: second free t pitch to that is it is absolutely brilliant.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: I think it actually speaks volumes for what the football
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: club are doing in the local area.
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, as you know, I'm quite involved with
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: folks in the Victor as well and the media side,
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: but I'll probably wait fifty years for this to happen.
• 19:28
  Speaker 10: And you know, some people of the all moments agrees.
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: Some people don't like change, but I think you've got
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: to have change for the for the better. And I
• 19:39
  Speaker 10: could only applaud Josh Heedy for what he's doing at
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: the club and obviously he's putting a lot of money
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: into the club for it to be successful. I think
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: quite work out for the first team this year as
• 19:51
  Speaker 10: I've suffered home and away week in weeut. But you know,
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: hopefully now new managers in and new teams and new
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: players and hopefully we'll get to the goal that he
• 20:03
  Speaker 10: wants to get. And you know, even with the Ladies,
• 20:06
  Speaker 10: I mean we said about that earlier. They've won their league.
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: I think if they could have sparted a team in
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: our folks in Victors League Lewis, I mean they're Lewis
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: Ladies playing the Championship, which is the one under for
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: the Premier League, which you know your money unit is,
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: you know, Arsenal Spurs, let's say west Ham Tottenham's and
• 20:28
  Speaker 10: you know what, why can't the ladies do that? And
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: then obviously with the girls coming forward from what do
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: they start? Is this the youngest team under twelves or
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: is there a younger ladies of girls teams?
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: This is the youngest team at the moment. But we've
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: got open.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Training session to recruit for more players coming up on
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the seventeenth of May, and then we're going from year four,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: so this is year six and seven at the moment,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: but we're going to recruit for the for the next wave.
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, that's great. You know, you've obviously started somewhere.
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: They're obviously a good team.
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: You don't.
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: You're not a bad team if you win the league.
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: At the end of the season, the best team wins
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: the league. That's I don't care. Blackburn Rovers beat by
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: the United ninety five to win the championship.
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: Were we the best team? Of course we were. We
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: won the league. Only man United fans out there, haha, Okay,
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: we'll never wrap it again. But there you go. That's
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: another story. It's even been longer for you.
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah, only I mean, you know the girls under twelves,
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: they're going to response obviously to hopefully play for the
• 21:33
  Speaker 10: Lazies first team. For folks off, it's whatever league that
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: is that will be in it, and you know Lionesses.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: It could go on. Years ago it just used to
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: be a hobby for the girls. Now it can be
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: a career.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: It is, and I think one of the things you
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: just mentioned a moment ago about change, people not necessarily
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: liking it. I think change from we mentioned it earlier
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: with the Lionesses winning the Euros. That brought about a
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: lot of change, and it did it folks then where
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: they were probably very I think there was one or
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: two girls teams now that's grown to five plus obviously
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: the ladies, and it's forever growing, so you know, hopefully
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: it does.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: It just continues.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: It does continue to evolve, and I think it will do,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: and I think there'll be. One of the great things
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: about folks the women's side is there's some there's some.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: There were teenagers playing within the side already. You know
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: a few of these girls could be knocking on.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: That door exactly. This is what they got to inspire to.
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: If you put the training in and you what you
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: want it enough, and you're good enough, you you'll get there.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Definitely.
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: You mentioned that you've got an open day coming up,
• 22:43
  Speaker 10: so obviously you're going to be looking for more players
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: across the spectrum.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, so Liam's got the details here. I would
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: say there's the it's an open open session for all
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: years from year four current year of fours through to
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: year ten, So the year fours and year five's will
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: be from twelve to one pm on Saturday to seventeenth,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: and then years six through to ten to six we're
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: six and seven through to year ten from one thirty
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: until three pm. I think we're in a really fortunate
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: position where you know, when you've got a great team
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: there's very little that you need to do, and actually
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: you really don't want to upset the apple cart as well.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: So we're fortunate enough. It might be unfortunate for some goals,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: but we're not really looking for many players. Maybe one
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: player to come into the team maybe, but I know
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: that the club are really actively looking to bring in
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: as many goals as they can do, and if that
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: means forming other teams or whatever it might be, then.
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: Are very active.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: We get we get football and dads as well like
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: ourselves as build them up as coaches and then they
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: can take take a control of the team. And so yeah,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: any any young girls listening and if aspiring to be
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a footballer or whatever, I just want to come down
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and kick it out, please come down the seventeenth of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: mynd and join us.
• 24:08
  Speaker 10: You've said the dating, you haven't actually said the venue
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: that might help.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: It's our home at the three Hills, at the three
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Hills on the three D at the back of Folksing Victor.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, so you've heard it first here you get done. It.
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: Is there any on social media or anything like that
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: where people can actually look at and and do find
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: out about this? Obviously we just said it, but you know,
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: some people might need to look it up if they
• 24:33
  Speaker 10: want to.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: It will it will be.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: It'll be on the folks Victor facebook. It is already

• 24:58
  Speaker 4: spread that message.
