15/04/2026

Good afternoon all!

We are looking to strengthen our squad for the 26/27 season. U15s

All positions welcome, especially a goalkeeper, as our keeper of 8 years has been snapped up by a professional academy! 💙

We train in Biddulph on Thursday evenings, games on Sundays in the NSJYL.

So, if anyone is interested in joining us, playing division one football against some top quality teams, then get in touch and give it a go!

And just like that… 2026 has finally arrived (eventually)If you looked up “cold and wet Sunday morning” in the dictionar...

And just like that… 2026 has finally arrived (eventually)

If you looked up “cold and wet Sunday morning” in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of us playing football last weekend. First game back after what felt like the longest Christmas break known to mankind, and the weather clearly hadn’t missed us.

We started about as slowly as the ref, who rocked up a casual 20 minutes late 😵‍💫 Once we actually got going, though, we created some decent chances… just forgot to bring our shooting boots.

Just before half-time, the ref decided to spice things up by handing Blythe what we’ll politely call a very soft penalty. Justice was briefly served as they rattled the crossbar only for us to immediately undo all that good karma by gifting them a goal straight after. Football heritage. 1–0 down at the break.

The second half followed a familiar script: slow start, then suddenly we remembered how we play. From Dylan’s kick, Jayden’s header and one of Charlie’s trademark long throws, the ball eventually landed at Stanley’s feet who calmly slotted it home like he does it in his sleep. 1–1. Game on.

We pushed and pushed for a winner right until the final whistle, but the football gods weren’t having it. A draw in the end, and probably a fair result… even if it felt like it could’ve been more.

Players of the Match:
🏆 Charlie & Jaiden
Charlie caused problems all game with his footwork and topped it off with a lovely assist. Jaiden was an absolute brick wall at centre half dealt with everything, drove forward, and was inches away from nicking the winner at the death.

Parents’ Player:
🏆 Stan
An engine that just doesn’t stop. Non-stop running, tracking back, helping out everywhere and of course grabbing the goal. What more do you want? 😊

Special mention:
🧤 Big shout to Dylan for jumping in between the sticks once again while Sev was away on another footballing adventure.

All in all a little cold, wet and rusty… but the signs are there. On to the next one ⚽️

❄️⚡ MATCH RECAPS – DECEMBER ⚡❄️

Cannons vs Leek CSOB – Mud & Graft
Cold, wet, and proper grassroots conditions 🥶 A tight, scrappy battle with no passengers. Cannons defended bravely, battled all over the pitch and created chances, but one second-half lapse proved costly. Sev was superb, pulling off multiple top saves and keeping us in it, while the back line stood firm for long spells. Plenty of positives to take despite the result.

🏅 Manager’s MOTM (Joint): Joe & Sev both superb in their roles, bravery and confidence from Joe and another firm steady performance from Sevin.
🏅 Spectators Player: Sev
Special mention to the kits that went home looking like they’d been excavated 🧼🏺

Cannons 1–0 Milton Utd – Last Game of 2025
Scrappy first half, lots of whistles, few chances 😅 Dylan did the business in goal while Sev was away on trial. Second half? Much better. Higher press, more confidence… then Dara unleashed an absolute rocket from 20+ yards 🚀⚽️ – top corner, no chance.
Not the prettiest, but full of grit and fully deserved 3 points to end the year 💪

⭐ Coaches’ MOTM: Dara – bossed midfield, capped with a screamer
⭐ Spectators MOTM: H – leadership, positivity, and a top performance

🎄 DECEMBER TAKEAWAY:
Cold mornings, muddy kits, big efforts, and a banger to finish 2025. ⚽️
