Ladies 1st XI
Unfortunately the Ladies 1s (although still having one
game to play) know that they have finished their season in
9th position of the National Conference East League,
thereby necessitating a fight for their survival in the
National League at the relegation play-offs over a few
weekends in April. First up, the ladies will face Conference
West team Staines at Chelmer Park on 6th April, with an
anticipated 11.30am push back. Staines will then meet the
9th placed team in Conference North (still to be confirmed
but either Liverpool Sefton or Cannock) on 13th April,
before the round robin tournament is finalised when
Chelmsford travel to face Liverpool Sefton or Cannock on
21st April with the top team of the three playing in the
National League again next season.

New kit for season 2013/14
Further to the announcement in late 2012, we can confirm that progress has been made
with regard to changing our playing kit. As part of a move to improve the image of the club
and to ensure uniformity of kit across all teams in both the senior and junior sections, we
have decided to move to a mainstream manufacturer. After taking some soundings, and
speaking to a number of leading brands, we have decided to introduce Adidas kit from
2013/14. In selecting Adidas, we took account of the positive feedback from members of
the GB squads in relation to comfort of wear in all circumstances, durability and design.
Adidas is a worldwide brand with both sporting and leisurewear credibility.
The intention is that the kit design we have chosen [see page 3] will be unchanged for a 5
year period to ensure that members get good value for money from the purchase. Initially,
we will offering only playing kit: shirts, goalkeeper’s smock, socks, shorts, skirts/skorts.
Over time we will consider moving to Adidas tracksuits and other outerwear, but initially we
think it unreasonable to expect members to replace these at the same time. In the
meantime, current tracksuits and other old kit etc will be available from existing stock held
by Alliance Sports
Like other clubs who have moved to Adidas recently, we are asking all members to buy
the new kit to ensure team uniformity. Your kit will be personalised by your own, allocated
shirt number which will remain yours for as long as you are a member. This will avoid
number clashes as players move between teams. There are a number of details to sort
out but the intention is that:
• We will roll out the kit for each side in turn to a timetable to be announced – it’s
likely this will extend into the Autumn so teams will adopt the new kit on a phased
basis during next season
• You will be able individually to try on samples of kit to ensure that the sizes are
right for you
• Orders will be placed on line and delivered to you personally or via the club
• There will be regular ordering points throughout the year
We ask everyone to actively support this new initiative and to be patient with us over the
period of transition when the new kit is rolled out.
CHC AGM will be held on Friday 21st June in the
Clubhouse at 8pm. It would be great to see as
many of you there as possible to support the club
or voice any issues or concerns.
Please note the bar will be open!!
