Player of the Month: 🏆

Dec: Since Dez came back, he’s hit the ground running. Whether he’s played in midfield or defence, he’s consistently put in strong performances and shown exactly what he brings to the team. He’s settled straight back in with the lads, and I’m really glad to see him back home where he belongs. Looking forward to seeing what Dez can do next year — well done, Dez!

Chip: Back at Lower Hopton like he never left. Week in week out he’s been consistent and reliable, and harder to get past with his go go gadget leg last ditch tackles.

Good to have you back and hopefully for the full duration next season.

deserved winner 👏

A dramatic end to the 25/26 campaign as the lads battled back twice to earn a thrilling 3-3 draw away at Great Preston.

The hosts took the lead after 12 minutes in bizarre fashion, as the ball somehow looped over Bowman’s head to make it 1-0. Great Preston doubled their advantage on 34 minutes, turning home a cross into the box to send us into the break 2-0 down.

But the response in the second half showed exactly what this team is all about.

On 60 minutes, Rob Hiscox produced a moment of magic, dancing through the defence before smashing home to pull one back at 2-1.

Just four minutes later came the turning point. Jack Carter was brought down in the box, and up stepped the gaffer Dec Goodman from the bench to bury the penalty and level things at 2-2.

Great Preston regained the lead on 75 minutes to make it 3-2, but there was still time for one more moment from a man who has delivered so many over the years. In the 81st minute, Hiscox struck again, smashing the ball home to secure a deserved 3-3 draw.

And that’s a wrap on the 25/26 campaign.
A huge thank you goes to the players’ committee and all of the supporters for their commitment throughout the season.

Our final Man of the Match goes to Rob Hiscox in his final game before hanging up his boots. Over the last two seasons, Hissy has produced countless magical moments, and he’ll be hugely missed by everyone at the club.
