* The u12's A team play in both the Liverpool League on a Saturday and the Lancashire League on a Sunday. Currently 3rd in the Liverpool league (with games in hand on all above them including Liverpool) they played Mossley Hill "A" on Sat and beat them
4-1 with Jenny, Steph, Lorna and Page scoring. Top of the Lancashire league they travelled to Bolton who lied in second on Sun and beat them 4-0 with Jenny scoring a hat trick and Jenna scoring the other.

* The U14's travelled to Wigan on a cold morning and never really warmed up. However, they where always in control and as with last weeks cup game the Blue's two keeper's hardly touched the ball. The u14's had so much possesion the 6-0 score truly flattered Wigan. The Blue's opener came from the hard working Rachael Dunlop who latched onto a through ball for 1-0. Soon after Cerian Jackson scored from close range 2-0. Everton went further ahead with a well-taken goal from Kate Darby 3-0. Just before the interval Faye McCoy got on the score sheet with the first of her hat trick to give a half time score of 4-0. The second half was much the same as the first with Everton pushing on and Wigan defending for all they where worth. The Blue's completed the scoring with two crackers from Faye McCoy. Player of the match was Amy Cleaver.

* The u16's beat Preston 8-1on Saturday at Bootle Stadium. The Blues stung the Lilywhites with one of their biggest defeat's ever. Sarah Weir made a very competent debut in the Toffee's net.

* The 'A' team had a tough home fixture against a very useful Frodsham Rangers team and did their promotion chances a power of good in their first campaign in the NWWRFL league with a 4-1 win to go top of the league. The 'A' team are a class outfit this season and took the game to Frodsham from the start and totally dominated the Cheshire side in the first half and led through a Nataleigh Cliff goal after a fine run by Anna Tinman, player of the game Danielle Green scored a classic goal rounding the keeper to make it 2-0. In the second half Frodsham snatched a shock goal, but this spurred Everton to life, with Abi Freeborn having a fine performance capping it with a goal before getting injured. Youngster Shelly James came off the bench and blasted home a superb goal after a great build-up, Gemma Morris had an excellent game at right back with Vicky Jones also doing well at left back, but the front two of Danielle Green and Nataleigh Cliff posed too many problems for the Frodsham defensive line always lively and hungry for the ball and the pace of the Everton attack's caused Frodsham's defence plenty of trouble. This is by far and away the best 'A' team we have had in now our third year, and plenty of the credit this season must go to new coach Darren Partington who has brought all the girls on well this season in training and has shown great enthusiasm and given plenty of encouragment to the girls in the matches.

* Everton Ladies first team travelled to the midlands on Sunday and met a Birmingham side brimming with confidence after beating tranmere the week before. It was a tight game and the score was 0-0 until Birmingham scored with only 5 mins to go, the game finishing 1-0. The Ladies are 5th in the premiership, a couple of points off the top 3 and 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
