After reflecting on what felt like a disappointing result last weekend against Loughborough, we are determined to take the positives. We went away to the team 2nd in the division above, dominated for the first 45 minutes and ultimately let ourselves down for 15 minutes of the second half. The disappointment the players and staff felt, is a testament to the desire to achieve and the high standards we set ourselves as a group of players. Whilst me mustn't get too down about the result, we also recognise the opportunity to learn and grown as a group from it. We have had a positive reaction in training this week, and the hunger and commitment from the players has been evident. We want to finish our group games on a positive note, to give us the best chance of testing ourselves against the teams in the stronger half of the cup draw. We know that Derby are a young, hungry side with lots of talent and ability and that the fixture should be another fantastic game of football. We are relishing the opportunity of another test and will be giving our all to come out on top. As always thank you for your continued support! #COYP Adam Dunleavy Manager Adam Dunleavy Manager's Notes ADunleavy P A R T N E R S The amazing work that we do across our senior section would not be possible without the support of our partners . Thank you so much to everyone who has joined the NCFC Women's family for the 2020/21 season. 3 As the club's main shirt sponsor, Woodthorpe Hospital is a vital partner whose support allows the team to flourish on the pitch.

Thank you for your support, Woodthorpe Hospital! Manager: Dan Dobrzycki Top Scorer 29/20: Phoebe Row (6) Top Scorer 20/21: Anya Bourne (7) Position 20/21: 1st Last Game: 1-3 (W) vs Rise Park Before the cancellation of the league, Derby sat top of the table with 10 points from their 5 games. Although they lost their opening fixture, they then went unbeaten in their last 4, winning 3 and keeping as many clean sheets. They have also started brightly in the Trevor Clifton Trophy, winning both games and scoring 5. Derby County FC Women Academy are a grassroots football club and the third side at Derby County. The side gained consecutive promotions, along with a league, cup and league cup treble winning season on their way to the Division 1 South of the East Midlands Regional Football League. They ended last season in 6th place, with 3 wins and 7 defeats from their 11 games. 4 FACT FILE THE OPPOSITION THE SOCIAL HUB "It's a really good opportunity to go into the upper tier of the tournament and play some of the other strong teams that are left in it. "That's what the girls want to make sure we are testing ourselves each week to but us in good stead for preparing for pre season and into next year." 5 Defender Holly Fowler reflecting on last weeks game... We go again! The gaffer speaking ahead of Sundays game The gaffer knows... @ ncfc _w omen @ ncfc w omen @ NOTTSCOUNTYWOMEN And so does Jimmy. # COYP # COYP # COYP # COYP 😂 Nothing to see here, just Nya Chambers with her 5th goal in 2 games. As you do. An Important Message Notts County fell to a narrow defeat despite a two goal half- time lead in their second Trevor Clifton Trophy fixture. Clearly impressed with last weeks 5-2 win over Rise Park, manager Adam Dunleavy named just one change to the starting 11, with Melissa East coming in for Bella Reed. County dominated the first half and were a goal up in the opening 15 minutes as Nya Chambers showed good footwork in the box and a composed finish. Eight minutes later and Chambers doubled her tally, taking advantage of some slack Loughborough play at the back to put County two goals to the good. Refusing to go down without a fight, the hosts came out strongly in the second half. By the 61st minute, Loughborough had something to show for their efforts, scoring a freakish goal direct from a corner. It did not take long for the opponents to make it level either when Mellors scored from an effort from range. A disastrous 6 minutes was capped off for County when the defence switched off to allow Pownall to run through and slot home to put the home side in front. The result leaves the side level on points with Loughborough ahead of a crucial game against Derby this Sunday.

I take the goalkeepers from both the development squad and the first team every training session and put them through their paces! CLUB ROLE I spent just over five years as a community coach for Notts County Football in the Community. This is where I got my desire to become a coach in the women’s game. PREVIOUS CLUBS I believe that the sky is the limit. With the back-room staff, players and support we have at the club, we can progress through the leagues. Everyone is on the same hymn sheet and we’re all pushing in the same direction both on and off the pitch. AMBITIONS Firstly, it is an honour to have my role at the club. I love doing what I do here. We are such a tight group of coaches; we spend more time with each other than we do with our families. The player are a breath of fresh air. They have the right attitude, the hunger to want to learn more every time they step on to the pitch. Every single one of them will give their absolute all for the club. As a coach you cannot ask for more. COACHING FOR NCWFC My first season at the club. I was assistant manager to Sean Denham and the development side. We won the league and narrowly missed out on the cup trophy too, losing in the final. A first season together as a team doesn’t get much better than that.

With her vision and range of passing, she can pick out a defence splitting pass out of nowhere. 10 Tre v or Clifton Troph y GROUP A GROUP A 1 2 3 4 PTS 0 MANSFIELD TOWN LADIES FC Notts Co u nt y Women FC DEVELOPMENT SHERWOOD FC WOMEN ARNOLD EAGLES FC WOMEN P W D L F A 0 0 2 2 8 0 6 4 1 1 0 2 1 2 0 1 1 2 0 0 4 0 2 2 0 0 6
