Bitton v St Nicks preview
Now to be played 9th May 7.45pm Ko
Bitton play their final game of the season on sunday when they host St Nicholas with the visitors needing a win to secure the championship and promotion to the South West league.
It will bring to an end a very frustrating season for the Ton who slipped up in crucial matches and were left frustrated by 4 games against the bottom teams being cancelled meaning Bitton were given the points but no goals were awarded. This means they have an inferior goal differance to St Nicks. If this was not the case then Bitton may well have been in with a chance of winning the league themselves with a win on Sunday but as it stands they will need an impossible 8-0 win to reverse the differance on St Nicks. If Bitton do take something from the game it could let in 2nd place Forest of Dean to claim the title providing they beat AEk Boco.
So Bitton are likely to finsih the season in 3rd position which means an improvement on last season 4th place finish but they will still feel they should have done better after beating the two teams that will finsih abaove them earlier in the season 6-2 & 5-1. There are rumours circulating at the moment fo a mass player exodus in the summer which would rip the heart of the Ton team out but hopefully all the girls decide to stick together and have another crack at it next season. With a few additions to provide more depth to the squad the Ton will hopefully be challenging for honours again next season.
Sundays game is sure to be a classic with St Nicks knowing they need the win to secure the title and Bitton out to spoil their party. Bittons cause will not be helped as influential striker Terri Marsh is still missing due to her suspension. Usual strike partner Megan Bloomer is expected to be fit however after picking up a knock in last weeks game v's Boco. Carly Bray will continue to play on a damaged ankle and it is hoped Leanne Jones returns from Dublin in time. Nat Hulbert will be given a fitness test on her damaged hamstring prior to the game and may partner Bloomer up front if declared fit.
Since getting hammered 6-2 by Bitton back in October St Nicks have gone on an incredible run that has seen them win all 13 of their games since that day moving them to the top of the table and into the final of the League cup where they will meet Quedgley. One player who will be keen to win and grab a couple of goals on Sunday is top scorer Becky Rexworthy who is currently on 21 goals for the season. She needs 2 on Sunday to draw level with Charmain Turley of Mitcheldean to claim the leagues top scorer.

Longwell Green U17's 1-5 Bitton
Bitton came out on top in their friendly with Bristol girls u17 champions Longwell Green. Bitton produced a very sloppy and scrappy performance but still raced into a 4-0 lead before Longwell pulled one back. Bitton completed the scoring late on.
It was one nil when Marsh released Bloomer who hit a shot that beat the keeper at the near post. Hulbert made it 2-0 when she reacted quickest in the box and poked the ball home. Price got the third with a rare goal a she powered home a header from a Bray corner and Marsh scored a breakaway fourth after being played in by Bloomer. The pacy Longwell attack got the goal they deserved to pull one back before Bloomer got her second and Bitton 5th when she volleyed home. There was still time for the longwell keeper to save a Marsh penalty.
Bitton will need to play much better on Sunday when they entertain local rivals AEK Boco

We are planning to purchase a portable skittle alley for Bitton Sports & Social Club, and we hope to run a Six A Side Skittles Competition starting w/c 14th May 2012. We would like to have 12 teams in the competition and play matches on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights for 11 weeks.
Only six players would play in each match, but teams can have as many players signed on as they wish to cover holidays, sickness and other commitments. Matches would be All In, based on the Kingswood Skittles League Rules. Each player will pay £1 per match, making a total of £12. The sticker up will receive £6 and the other £6 will go into the prize pot.
There will be a round robin with each team playing each other. At the end, the four top teams will play off for prizes. If we can get 12 teams the prize pool will be almost £400. We envisage prizes of:-
Winning Team £150 cash or Voucher for kit worth £200.

Ouch my head hurts
Bercky is still happy despite her injuries
Bittons record apperance holder Becky Jones is shown left this morning after another tough game. After playing over 70 games for the TON she has suddenly decided in the last 2 weeks to start heading the ball.
Unfortunately her reasoning for not heading it in the first place that it "Bloody well hurts" proved to be true and she has suffered minor head injuries from her 3 and half headers over the previous 2 games.
Hopefully she will recover in time to face FOD next week where she has promised to try another.

Bitton v AEK Boco preview
Esther returns to her homeland this week
Bittons title chances are in serious danger with the squad once agin looking very threadbare. This week the Ton travel to local rovals AEk Boco for what is always a very tough fixture. The task has been made even harder with once again players being unavailiable for numerous reasons. Deb Small will miss the rest of the season after breaking her leg on Tuesday night at Judo and Char Knight is still in India. Captain Meg Price has recovered from her hamstring injury but will once agin be missing as she competes in the Bath Half marathon and Esther Hosznyak has shot off to Hungary for a long weekend break. Leanne Jones is attending a christening but is hoping to be able to get there for the second half. Bitton look set to also be without goalkeeper Chloe Gallagher for several weeks as she has badly damaged her fingers altho her playing outfield may be an option.
The Bitton v Boco clashes are always entertainning games. The teams have not met yet this term in the league but the two sides did face each other in the Fa Cup at the start of the season with Bitton coming out on top 4-1 thanks to goals from Marsh(2),Coates & L Jones

The 63yr old has been with Bitton since their first season but has found her oppertunities limited this year. She rolled back the years against Cheltenham with a superb performance up top, full of running and skill. She nearly got herself on the scoresheet a few times but just could not force the ball home.

Keep it simple
100% passing from Big C
After the disjointed performance against Cheltenham Cs the other week Bitton were sent out with instructions to keep it simple and that the pass percentage would be counted during the game. This meant the players seemed to take extra care with the ball and kept possesion a lot better. With better use of the ball Bitton produced a much better performance and came away with a 5-0 win against a very usefull Wooton Basset side scoring some exclelent goals.

Bitton v Wotton Bassett preview
Wotton Bassett
The league cup kicks off this week and Bitton will welcome Division 2 side Wotton Bassett in the 1st round. Bitton have reached the final in the past 2 seasons, losing on both occasions so they will be hopefull of another decent run.
Wotton Basset are having a great season and are challenging for the title in Division 2. They currently sit in fourth but with games in hand on the teams above them.They have scored a lot of goals already and their joint scorers are April Polden and Madeline Elliot who have both struck 14 goals already this season. They have goals from all areas though with Megan Tidy, Kelly Oakes & Nicola Coe all aproaching double figures for the season.
The 2 sides met pre season with Wotton Bassett coming out on top 3-2 with Amber Coates and Esther Hoszynak scoring Bittons goal.
Bitton will be looking to bounce back after last weeks poor performance in the loss against Cheltenham Civil service. They will have to do it without leading scorer Terri Marsh who tried to play last week when already injured and ended up doing more damage to her hamstring, she is likely to be out for a few weeks. Sarah Wilmer is also missing as she is away and Chloe Riley is working. Nat Hulbert should be fit to play despite falling of her horse midweek. Definately returning to the squad are keeper Chloe Gallagher and pocket rocket Deb Small,both missed last Sunday game in Cheltenham.

Leanne Jones is expected to play despite her injury suffered this week that made the local news. Joner was injured while auditioning for Britains Got talent when her monkey juggling act went horrifically wrong. Definately missing is Deb Small who is representing Great Britain At The Judo OAP Tournament. Sarah Wilmer & Becky Hurst should return to the squad after missing last weeks game.

Bitton v Cheltenham Civil service preview-12/01/12
Captain Meg set to miss out Sunday
Bitton start the new year off with a crunch top of the table clash as leaders Cheltenham Civil service visit the Rapid Solicitors ground. Bitton currently sit second in the table with games in hand on the leaders so a win for either team would be a massive boost. Neither team can really afford to drop any more points with both Forest of Dean and St Nicholas breathing down their necks and looking to continue their challenge.
The two sides have only met once before when Cheltenham Civil service won last season’s game 2-1 thanks in main to a superb performance from their star Gemma Riley. Riley is constantly on the scoresheet with 10 goals already this term and won last season’s game with a scorching 30 yard drive. She will definitely need to be watched if Bitton are to get anything out of the game.
Bitton look set to be without influential captain Megan Price on Sunday as she continues her Drama Studies & Sarah Wilmer is still struggling with Flu. Leanne Jones should be availiable after flying back from Nevada where she has the week off from her NASA aeronautical cadet training so Bitton should be able to choose from a near full strength squad. The front two of Megan Bloomer & Terrence Marsh will be looking to continue the red hot form that produced 24 goals between them in only 8 games prior to xmas.
