WHERE THERE’S A WILL THERE’S A WAY!
First of all, it’s great to be back! After a long summer break of England heartache, it was good to see the Maroons spent the whole holiday on their Xbox’s, rather than watching those overrated prima donnas. It was a step into the unknown today, playing a Clitheroe side we have [...]
Last one on the bouncy castle smells of poo !!
I thought I would try a new, pre match pep talk this week. None of the find space, pass and move, work together rubbish that all the boys are used to ignoring! As we had arranged an end of season party, I kept it simple. Last one on [...]
This was our last home game of the season against a very good Rishton side, who had beaten us 2-0 earlier in the season. Captain Paul away on holiday, and Liam arriving limping – the omens were not good!
However, the Maroons were not phased. Stand in captain Joseph, was a rock in the middle until two crushing [...]
Dar-wind Blows away Langho’s chances!
First of all i have to say, 12.00 noon kick off on derby day, wasn’t the best of kick off times. Add to that the referee strolling down to the pitch without a care in the world at 12.15 and i knew it wasn’t going to be the best of days.
The [...]
Dynamo Defenders Deny Darwen!
As all the good managers (Wenger,Ferguson, Ellison and Isherwood) say, “sometimes you have to win ugly”. Today, thats what the Maroons did. All the boys were a little off the pace today, against the only team we hadn’t played so far this season.
Full credit to our opponents who had the better of [...]
The Maroons on fire!
A fantastic team performance from the Maroons today, helped secure a 3-1 win over a very good Blue Star team, who went into the game having only lost once this season. Every player gave their all to make sure we overturned the defeat from earlier in the season.
The first half was dominated by [...]
JASPER JARRETT MAKES HIS DEBUT!!
Another super performance from the boys this week. Goals from Dominic (4) Paul (3) and James (3) helped us to a convincing win. Full credit to Pleasington, who never gave up and were much improved from the first encounter at the start of the season. After a delayed kick off due [...]
I was quite worried going into this fixture. After a tough encounter with Mill Hill earlier in the season, coupled with 4 of my starting 7 away on a sleep-over on Saturday night, i feared the worst.
The adventurers arrived at the Rydings in good time for kick off, thanks to coach driver for the day, Lucy [...]
“Almost reached the Stars but left feeling the Blues”
In under 8′s yellow division terms, this was a heavyweight contest. In the blue corner, a Blue Star team who had won 10 out of 12. In the red (or Maroon) corner, a Langho team who had won 10 out of 12. Something had to give, what was [...]
“Through the Mill”
At last. A game of football on grass! This was a scrappy game with a lot of ball chasing from both sides. Langho started well and looked to get forward quickly with some good passing and moving. This led to the maroons taking a 2-0 early lead inside the first 10 minutes. Dominic [...]
