Exactly - I know a number of the current players and they've gelled because they already know each other well. This has brought immediate results but I'm actually quite disappointed that's the route the club have gone down. It detracts a bit from the community club approach to it. I would love to see the women's game flourish but it's not realistic to think that can happen at the moment and it's not (as I see it; perhaps I'm wrong) going to bring in much in the way of commercial gain. Nice to see silverware etc but a big part of me would actually have liked to see us continue to build on the original (unpaid) group of girls through coaching and development, drawing in the more talented players over time because of the set-up. Unfortunately, it's definitely a case of friends recruiting friends - talented players, yes, but not really what I'd hoped for. We digress but glad to have that off my chest!!
