Absolutely beautiful morning of football at Yardley Road this morning.

The first team on the top pitch
K9 on pitch 2
KRS on pitch 3.

A full field and a full carpark.

The first team won, K9 drew & unlucky for KRS we lost. But we played some half decent ball, and we can’t ask for more than that.

We go again next week.

Thank you to the club sponsors:
Bc Workspace, K9 Security Protection & KRS

And an extra thank you to first team player Bruce & his family & K9’s sparky for their generosity and in sorting the facilities so quickly this week, from all of us, thank you. 🙏🏻

😱 What a game this morning!

KRS travelled to Pattishall with the bare 11 — no subs, no changing rooms, no toilets… but no complaints. On we go.

The opening 10 minutes showed promise, but Sixfields Rangers hit 3 goals in quick succession and our heads dropped.

As Ali said from the sidelines: “It looked like no one wanted to be out there.”

KRS had to dig in and “park the bus” heading into half time, but Sixfields grabbed a fourth just before the whistle.

Half-time: Sixfields 4–0 KRS

With injuries creeping in and no subs to rely on, Kye’s message was simple: dig deep and don’t give up.

And what followed was a completely different performance.

Ali summed it up perfectly: “Second half — one of the best halves I’ve seen us play all season.”

KRS came out fighting, keeping the ball on the floor, playing with confidence, and putting Sixfields under real pressure.

⚽ Jack drove forward and squared to Kye, who calmly slotted home — 4–1.

⚽ Kye whipped in a corner and JP finished — 4–2.

⚽ Another corner caused chaos, JP’s overhead may or may not have crossed the line 👀 but Alex made sure — 4–3.

Kye said it best: “Second half they hardly got out of their own half — that’s the benchmark now.”

KRS pushed hard for the equaliser. Shaun hit the post twice, and Sam, Kozza and Jack all had chances, but it just wouldn’t fall.

“Not disappointed with losing, but gutted we didn’t at least nick a draw — we probably should have won it,” added Kye.

A game of two halves. A performance full of grit, character, and fight.

Massive respect to every player who showed up and gave everything — that second half is what this team is all about. 💙

Full time: Sixfield Rangers C 4-3 Grendon Sapphires KRS

Great ref, friendly & good sportsmanship from the opposition. Good morning of football for KRS

Match Report: Grendon Sapphires 11 – 0 Queensway United

Nene Sunday League

Sunday, 9th November 2025

Today was one of those days where the result doesn’t tell the full story. With a long list of absentees through sickness and injury, we limped into battle with a makeshift squad — a patchwork of committed lads stepping up to ensure the game went ahead. A lot of our core players were unavailable, but those who pulled on the shirt gave everything they had for the team.

From the first whistle, Grendon KRS showed their strength and quality, punishing every mistake and taking full advantage of our stretched squad. Despite the scoreline, every single one of our players kept their heads high, dug deep, and continued to fight for each other right until the final whistle. The management team couldn’t be prouder of the effort, attitude, and togetherness shown today.

At the end of the day, Sunday league football isn’t about the scoreline or the results — it’s about the camaraderie, the laughter, and the shared moments that make all the difference. For us, it’s about building friendships, supporting each other, and using football as a positive force for men’s mental health.

That ends our league games for this year, Next week onwards to the David Ferguson Trophy — stronger, together, and still always smiling.

MOTM today was Sam C for his efforts throughout midfield. Putting in challenges, sliding tackles and a hell of a lot of mileage round the pitch. At times you would have thought there were two of him on the pitch!

Big shout out to KRS. Yet another team full of banter and the right attitude to a Sunday league game. They were a pleasure to play and we wish them luck for the season.

We’d like to also shout out the ref! Credit where it’s due as they do get some bad rap. Probably one of the best refs we’ve had officiating. Firm and fair and managed the game well. Although it’s much easier when you’re playing against teams like these boys where they are respectful and full of banter.

Last but not least. We’d like to take a moment to remember all of the service men, women and animals on remembrance Sunday.
In the going down of the sun; and in the morning - we will remember them.
