Our final fixture of our 2nd season!

Team whites take on Chorley FC Military Veterans in what will be our final fixture of the 2nd season ⚽️🫡

The league has been very different this year, with new challenges from additional teams. However, both our teams finish 2nd & 3rd in the league, and are still to take a loss in this league.

The champions this year will be another undefeated team, Accrington FC Military veterans - Congratulations to those!

We would like to thank all our sponsors and supporters throughout this year, and we look forward to our 2nd awards evening being hosted at The Midland Hotel in Morecambe in August!

We also have exciting news to bring about a new front-of-shirt sponsor in our 3rd season, plus lots of new kit being supplied to our regular and reliable players!

Thank you also to our followers who are always showing support on our posts 🫡

Big win for Team Blue today 🏆

The team that were undefeated last season won their first local derby today against Morecambe FC Military Veterans, with a 6-3 scoreline that puts them in 2nd place ⚽️🫡

The first half was very close, finishing 2-2 as we headed into half-time. But they came out fighting in the second and bagged another 4 goals!

We also have team captain, Adam Mulgrew, wearing our new personalised armbands.

With goals from:

Steven Gardner ⚽️
Adam Cordingly ⚽️

MOTM - Adam Mulgrew

Both teams only have one game left this season and will likely be finishing 2nd & 3rd in the league table. Hard work paying off in our 2nd appearance in the Northwest Military Veterans League. Both teams technically still undefeated, the only team to have beaten one of our teams is our other team!

Congratulations to Accrington for winning this season on their first appearance, and we will be looking to reclaim the title next season…

Our 2nd fixture against Morecambe FC Military Veterans ⚽️🫡

Last month, a bolstered-up Morecambe military veterans team took on our currently undefeated Team Blue, and with a few key players missing we battled to a 3-3 draw!

This weekend, our undefeated champions from last season look forward to the challenge of their first local derby against Morecambe!

This is our penultimate fixture in the Northwest Military Veterans League. It has been another thoroughly enjoyable season with lots of new challenges from the teams that have joined this season 🏆

Great finish to our first 11-a-side league appearance in the Social Inclusion League 🏆

The final score was 6-2, with goals from:

Steven Gardner ⚽️⚽️
Ian Marshall ⚽️
Derrick Bull ⚽️
Jordan Dixon ⚽️
Adam Mulgrew (c) ⚽️

MOTM - Steven Gardner 🥇

A few words from the team manager for today’s fixture, Kane Pennington “The attitude from start to finish showed exactly what this group is about. The commitment and dedication across the whole team was outstanding. From the starting XI handling constant adaptations throughout the game, to every substitute being ready, hungry and prepared to make an impact.

Choosing a Man of the Match was probably the toughest decision of the day, which says a lot about the performance levels across the squad. But goals and assists are impossible to ignore and after contributing 2 goals and 2 assists, the MOTM has to go to Ste Gardner - fully deserved. 💙 ⚽️ 🦁”

Valiant effort from Hardly Athletic and great sportsmanship throughout today’s fixture.

We would like to thank Lancaster City FC for allowing the use of The Giant Axe for our final fixture of the Social Inclusion League. It’s always a proud moment to step onto the pitch at our home ground!

We have two more fixtures to play in the Northwest Military Veterans League to wrap up another outstanding season of football, playing in two separate leagues this year 🫡

Another big thank you to the team founder, Shawn, who always puts the work in behind the scenes to make sure the players want for nothing, including kits, jumpers, jackets, water bottles, and transport to fixtures 🙏

Two tough games in the unusually warm Accrington today!

Team Blue took a 6-5 win against Rochdale MV, while team White drew 3-3 against a vastly improved Morecambe MV. Both teams also played with no subs today - hats off to the players digging in for the full fixture in the heat 🫡

Goals from:

Blues…
Knowles ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️
Smith ⚽️
Jones ⚽️
MOTM Liam Mayor

Whites
Marshall ⚽️
Gordon⚽️
Pearce ⚽️
MOTM Ian Marshall

This result for team Blue means the likelihood of us winning the league this year may be slightly out reach, the competition is very apparent this year and it is great to see the military veterans league thriving 🫡

Our players and Morecambe FC military veterans showed great sportsmanship despite the local derby fixture. Please check the comments section for our post-game photo 🥇

🏆 it’s in the bag!

Our first 11-a-side league win was secured today after a 4-1 win against Blackpool Football Therapy CIC

Although we have one fixture left to play in May, no other team can catch us on points!

With goals from:

Adam Knowles ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Ian Marshall ⚽️

MOTM 🥇 Adam Cordingley

Also, a thank you to Tony Smith who carried the plan by Shawn, the team manager, whilst he was away walking Hadrians Wall this weekend.

🫡 Now we turn our attention back to the Northwest Military Veterans League! Both teams still have the potential to bring home the trophy from there too, although we need straight wins, and lots of goals to catch up to Accrington!

Up Next!

This Sunday, 19th April, we have our home fixture against Blackpool Football Therapy CIC ⚽️🫡

A win this week would pretty much secure the Social Inclusion League trophy for us, and this promises to be a hard-fought battle against previous league winners, BFT FC, who will be looking to reclaim a win from us after we ended their 20+ unbeaten game streak recently 🏆

We would like to once again thank Trimpell Sports and Social Club for hosting our home fixture at their playing fields 💙

and not forgetting all our other sponsors who've propped us up in our 2nd season 🙏
