Shaw Inn FC were narrowly beaten by Wombwell Main in a hard-fought encounter last night, with the game ultimately decided by a stoppage-time winner despite a battling performance from The Blues throughout.
From the first whistle, the lads showed real determination and character against a strong young Wombwell side, competing for every ball and never once letting the intensity drop. Chances came at both ends in a game that was played at a high tempo throughout, with Shaw Inn matching the hosts for long periods.
Mackenzie Grierson got himself on the scoresheet with another big goal, continuing to step up for the team when it matters most and giving the lads something to build from during a difficult battle.
In the end, it was heartbreak right at the death as Wombwell found a stoppage-time winner to take the points. The result however doesn’t take away from what this group has achieved this season. County Cup champions, countless memories made, and a team that’s continued to grow together every single week. There was plenty of noise before and after the game, but we’ll let the silverware from this season do the talking.
Massive credit to Wombwell Main, a very good young side with plenty of quality, and we wish them all the best in the play-offs👌🏻
The lads can keep their heads held high. This season has been special for Shaw Inn Football Club, and we couldn’t be prouder of every single person involved.

Stepped up and went in goal as an outfield player for the team and did himself absolutely proud. Brave performance, put his body on the line and gave everything for the badge from start to finish 👏
