Rhian Wilkinson's Official Website

Welcome to my website. Since 1st March 2006, when we started, we have received over 92,000 hits. Thank you. There is a real demand for news of the National Women's Team.

I started playing soccer when 5 years old, and I have been fortunate to play for, and against, some of the best teams in the world. On my site I will provide regular news, not just about Canadian soccer, but insights into what it means to be a woman player in the Canadian Soccer Association and the background stories to playing in FIFA World Cups and the Olympic Games.

HEART, PASSION, STROMMEN & STORLEKKEN 2nd July 2009

Team Strommen lost 3 - 1 against Stæbek on Tuesday evening in another Toppserien League match. If anyone is keeping score, that is our fourth loss in five games. Staebek was the better team on this day. Ouch! I hate losing. Losing infuriates me, but occasionally there are matches when everyone on the team works hard and we still don't win. So, I am left deflated and without reason or direction to vent my anger. MORE

SOCCER FORTUNES AND TRAVELS      28th June 2009

Before I even start to write this journal, I must apologize for taking a little hiatus from writing my website entries. Thank you to Jack White and others, for your e-mails worrying about my absence on this forum. Some of the recent matches we have played, and the international against the USA, were a little depressing, but I am still enjoying my soccer. Sometimes I need a reminder that it isn't only my family who follow my career and this website. READ MORE

TEAM STROMMEN WINS WITH STORLOKKEN BULLSEYE

28th June 2009   Translation by Per Kristiansen

With Team Strommen' s recent poor run of luck and play, they were grateful to emerge as 2 -1 winners in Saturday's Toppserien match against Kattem. However, it was not until there were only 25 minutes left in the match that Lene Storlokken scored to give Team Strommen the lead.

Playing away in Trondheim, the team arrived soon before the match and had little time to prepare. However, they were able to take a 1-0 lead when Diana Matheson spun at the top of the 18 metre box and thumped the ball into the bottom left hand corner of the Kattem net. READ MORE

SOUR LOSS TO LEAGUE LEADERS KOLBOTN   24th June 2009 Norwegian Press Translation by Per Kristiansen

When things are not going well, they have a habit of really not going well. Against League leaders Kolbotn, and in front of a crowd of almost 200 in this evening game, Team Strommen turned in an excellent performance. Their spirit was good, but they finished with a 3 - 2 loss.

The game began well for the home team, & they dominated the early part of the game. Once again though, they were unable to find the back of the net. And, they made the cardinal error of allowing a Kolbotn player to stand all by herself on a corner kick. It was enough for Kolbotn to take a 1 - 0 lead. MORE
