MARK’S MUSINGS The Manager Speaks I hope the lads take some confidence into this game after last weeks result against Monk Fryston.

It's an important game for us today. To be fair we have started games well enough and there have been periods in all the games where we have played well.

I think if we continue to work hard and cut out the silly errors we should start to pick some results up.

We are missing quite a few again today, which isn't ideal, but it's an opportunity for one or two to get a start and show what they can do.

It’s nice to have some goals to cheer isn’t it? Last weekend, we started the defence of the Barkston Ash FA Challenge Cup in emphatic style and for once it was nice to see us dishing it out!

Hopefully this win will give the lads a much needed confidence boost, especially in the goalscoring department. We have seen some brilliant play from the team and hopefully we can now kick on and get some decent results in the league.

Today’s opponents aren’t going to make it easy however and in essence, this is what is known as the proverbial six pointer as Brighouse sit just a single place above us! We obviously need the points to keep in touch with teams above us and Brighouse need them to further pull away from the bottom reaches of the table.

There have been some really promising signs on the pitch and I’m very confident it won’t be long before we are seeing the Tangerines hit a decent run of form.

Home matches and players are still available for sponsorship and if you would like to get your company mentioned in this programme and on our website, which is constantly in the top 200 of over 6000 pitchero websites (and is the highest ranked out of this division) please let myself or Gus know. Prices for both match or player sponsorship are very reasonable priced at below £30.00 and not only would you be getting your company logo on all the relevant graphics we release, but you will also be helping support your local grassroots team.

OUR VISITORS MEET BRIGHOUSE OLD BOYS

Home v Away Wins

History

Wetherby have not won at home this season, whilst Brighouse have not won away.

Formed in 1997, Brighouse Old Boys were promoted into the Premier Division in 2011 after finishing second in Division One (behind Rothwell). Now playing at the Hipperholme and Lightcliffe School, they find themselves the proud parents of up to 30 teams for both boys and girls.

Wetherby (Home)

Over the past four seasons, since their rose to the top division, Brighouse have flited between mid-table to lower reaches and as we meet today, they find themselves in 15th place with a total of five points from a possible 30.

Home v Away Goals Scored

Away from their base, they have picked up two points, courtesy of draws with both Hunslet Club (2-2) and Leeds City (1-1) . They have managed to score 5 times (averaging 1 goal per away game) whilst conceding 11 (averaging 2.2 goals per game).

Since 2008, we have met ten times. At present, we hold the advantage with six wins to their four. Our highest scoring game against them was in 2015, when we won 4-2. Goals that day same from Joe Barden (2), Jonny Hadley and Adam Carter. Click here for match report.

Brighouse Old Boys

WETHERBY ATHLETIC YORK 4 Marvin Green (pictured right) was the hero for our Wetherby Athletic (York 4) team last weekend when he became king of the penalty shootout, after saving three penalties!

The game itself against Sherburn White Rose Reserves had turned out to be a decent one with the final score ending at 2-2. Wetherby’s goals came from Chris Power and Michael McCartney, but despite trying, never team could break the deadlock and the match went to the crazy lottery of penalties.

Fortunately for us, Anthony Walsh, Sam Schofield and Jake Reaney all held their nerve to score and Green pulled off some amazing saves to make sure it was Wetherby that progressed to face Kippax FC Res in the Semi-Finals (date to be confirmed).

Saturday’s game sees Chris Plews’s team take on Swinton AFC (formally known as Settrington) at The Ings. The game has a 2pm kick-off and a win for Wetherby could lift them into the top reaches of the league. However, our visitors will also be desperate for the points as their opening two game have only yielded a single point.

MAN OF THE MATCH

Monk Fryston United “It was nice to get a win wasn’t it? We needed it for confidence and to get morale up. It was nice to come out against a opponent and have a great game. We are all really happy about it and it means we can have a nice Saturday for once!

There were some unbelievable goals today, Josh Wilson was putting them away for fun. We have a great outfit and we need to push on.”

WETHERBY ATHLETIC LADIES

The ladies team put up a brilliant fight against a vastly experienced Farsley Celtic Ladies Reserve team last Sunday; however they couldn’t stop themselves from losing 6-3 in the end.

Wetherby took the lead when Holly Fowler struck after just five minutes, however three goals from the hosts meant it was a different story a half-time.

The second half saw Farsley add another three to their total, but then Wetherby mounted a small comeback and a brace from Rachel Carmichael gave the final scoreline a bit more respectability.

Sunday sees the Ladies back on the road when they travel to play Hebden Royd United LFC. At the moment our hosts lie in bottom place in the league and hopefully our Ladies will return with their first win of the season!

Kirk Deighton Rangers U18’s 1 v 3 Wetherby Athletic U18’s The Under 18’s won their second match on the bounce when they emerged 3-1 victors in the local derby clash against Kirk Deighton Rangers last Sunday.

The win sees Josh Stubbs’s team go two points clear at the top of the league over nearest challengers, Ripon City Panthers.

The match saw Wetherby made to work for the points in an end to end battle.

Following a good spell of dominance, Wetherby took the lead when Alex Bairstow scored a beautiful 30 yard volley.

Wetherby further increased their lead when Michael Brown latched onto a free-kick and managed to slot home into the corner of the net, despite a good attempt to save it by the Rangers goalkeeper.

The home said pulled themselves back into the game just on the stroke of half-time, when a superbly struck volley left the Wetherby custodian with no chance of saving it.

Just as in the first half, the game was played on the attack and several chances came and went for both sides. In the end, it was James Rowley who settled affairs when he fired home Wetherby’s third goal of the game after connecting with a corner.

WETHERBY ATHLETIC YORK C

It was a great opening league win for Matt Barnfather and his Wetherby Athletic (York C) team as they romped home 4-1 against Fulford FC Reserves. A brace each for Chris Power (pictured right) and Daniel Gibson meant that it was the Tangerines looking down on the rest of the league come the final whistle.

Unfortunately, their Barkston Ash FA BML Sports Cup match against Tadcaster Magnets Reserves has had to be postponed due to unforeseen occurrences.

To counter this however, the York Minster Engineering League have released several new fixtures and we can look forward to ties against Heworth Green Res, Civil Service Res, Rufforth United Res and York Railway Institute Res. As ever, the team would love to see and hear your support down at The Ings when they play, so please come on down and support grassroots football.

HISTORY REPEATING 1 surprise on Harrogate Town’s Reserves in the Harrogate & District Premier League.

Unfortunately, there is no report on this game in the local Wetherby Newspaper, which was a common occurrence when we played either Harrogate Town or Railway!

Spooky but true!

25 September 1971 It’s time to take a dive back through this week in our history and see what comes to the surface!

It was the turn of Knaresborough Town Reserves to come to Scaur Bank and take part in this Harrogate & District Premier League match.

24 September 1949

Goals from P.Lawson, R.Eason, D.Hick and B.Taylor saw us run out 4-2 winners.

In our second away match of the season, we gained a valuable point in a 2-2 draw against Starbeck Railway Athletic. Our goals came from J.Etherington and W.Stubbs.

The team that day was L.Stoker, K.Campbell, E.Broom, T.Jewitt. D.Jolley, G.Gittus, R.Eason, B.Taylor, P.Lawson, P.Tower and D.Hick.

The team was: R.Breese, D.Hope, P.Scott, N.Flitton, P.Simmons, N.Leafe, W.Gray, F.Vipurs, J.Etherington, W.Stubbs and R.Williams

21 September 2013

20 September 1952 We welcomed Boston Spa United to Scaur Bank on this date in a Harrogate District League Charity Cup 1st Round Match. A good days work saw P.Scott net twice and other goals from J.Kinghorn and W.Gray secure a 4-0 win.

We finish this page with a West Yorkshire Premier League match against Otley Town at The Old Showground.

A see-saw of a game saw us run out 4-2 winners thanks to goals from M.Waterhouse, S.Kellegher, J.Vale and C.Yates.

Our line up was: D.Butterworth, D.Slater.

M.Forster, J.Emsley, J.Hart, B.Blewitt, M.Waterhouse, P.Myles, J.Vale, J.Barden, The team for that match is largely unknown, S.Kellegher, C.Mallon, J.Hadley and C.Yates. however the newspaper report does mention R.Hick, P.Scott, J. Kinghorn and W.Gray.

If anyone has any historical information on our club

WEST YORKSHIRE PREMIER LEAGUE ROUND-UP First of all, congratulations to the West Yorkshire Association Football Representative Team who are over in Romania in the UEFA Regions Cup. With two matches played, they have managed to pick up 4 points, thanks to a 2-1 win over Romania and a 1-1 draw with Vojvodina.

Only 4 games took place In the West Yorkshire Premier League. Leeds City maintained their unbeaten start to the season when they beat Hunslet Club 2-0, Joe Tasker and Charles Lumley scoring the goals.

Our opponents today had a close match against Robin Hood Athletic, but in the end Athletic recorded a 2-1 win. Elliott Fris scored for Brighouse whilst Joe Ritson and Scott Murgatroyd did the damage for Robin Hood.

Oxenhope moved up the table with a good 3-2 win over Headingley. Goals for Oxenhope came from Anthony Cox, Gareth Ritson and an own goal whilst Ashley Austin scored a brace for Headingley.

The final game saw Arran Nicholson score twice for Shelley as they beat Ilkley Town 2-1. Alex MacPherson scored Town’s consolation.
