A thrilling 4-3 home win on Sat 28th March against a competing Showbar AFC side fighting for a similar finishing position, secures a top three spot for our Open-Age Team. Well done to Ian, Paul, Danny and all of the lads for a great season so far. Enjoy your final four games of the season. Been quite a good year for only your 2nd season in the Warrington & District Football League, having knocked Avon out of the Guardian Cup and reaching the Quarter Final of that prestigious Competition and going out at that stage to a very strong Mid-Cheshire Daten FC side (after extra-time and with only 10-men for almost 75 mins of the match). Roy of the Rovers stuff and all that. A similar well done to Brian and his Winwick FC team who have reached the final of their Divisional Cup as well.

Fantastic to see today that a Winwick U9s Team benefitted from the kindness of a memorial organisation set up in honour of Davey Fallon, who himself spent time playing for a Winwick Athletic FC Junior Football Team. Here is a photo of him as an U16 Player (front row 3rd from the left) and below are U9s Players who were thrilled today with their sweets from him.

In memory of Davey the organisation D.A.R.K. was set up and memorial matches between the two Clubs he played for, Newton-le-Willows and Winwick Athletic FC are expected soon. For those interested please visit D.A.R.K. http://www.daveys-ark.org.uk/

Earlier this season the Club also gratefully received a Donation of £100 from D.A.R.K. which has been put to great use for equipment used by the young 4 and 5yr old academy children in our club.

Sadly ALL Home Matches are POSTPONED on Sat 31st Jan and also on Sun 1st Feb 2015. Snow plus then melt-water causing total saturation of pitches, hence unplayable. Better luck next weekend I guess …. the weather has issued its own Red Card to football I suppose. Enjoy some indoor or televised football instead, or take on your Mum or your Dad at FIFA ?? Or how about posting football related stories on our Facebook page ?

Annual Club Presentation will take place on Friday 5th June and Saturday 6th June 2015 (further details and timings to be released in due course). Apologies for the delay in providing times, just ironing out a few logistical issues, hoping to finalise before Wed 20th May 2015.

 Hey, let’s simply let them all play and enjoy today … pitches not too soft, not too hard, should not damage from over-use when too wet, so hoping for sunshine soon and its #footballforall #grassroots

Apologies for the short notice, but all 4 and 5yr olds coming down to Saturday morning sessions 10am to 11am please be advised that sadly on Saturday 13th December the Sports Hall is not available and so our session has been cancelled.

We will be there as normal on Saturday 20th December 10am to 11am PLUS we will then also have our Xmas Party for the kids at Jungle Jims on Saturday 20th December from 12.30pm to 2.30pm. Please contact Paul for further information if you need – 07886 815149

Sadly the ‘weather bomb’ has caught up with us and ALL Winwick Athletic Venues are now CLOSED for Saturday 13th December 2014, Decisions to be taken on venues for Sunday matches after inspections and consultation with land-owners. Further advice will be posted asap.

Good Luck to our U15s Winwick Athletic Wolves against Lammack Juniors in Quarter Final of Lancashire County FA Cup which kicks-off at 12 noon today @DatenFC @culchethsports in Culcheth Datensportsclub

 Many from this U15s team were the team to play on the pitch in Wembley what seems like many years ago now !!

Hoping for a competitive good quality and exciting game of football played fairly and enjoyed by all.

Winwick U10 Colt’s are looking for players to boost their squad this season getting prepared for next season when going to 9v9 as U11s. Currently have 9 players but need additional players to strengthen our squad. Contact Ian Price on 07921807480 for details of training evening for you to come down.

Wet weather beginning to take its mark on venues today I am afraid. Mill House and Brook Acre School are both waterlogged and Pitches there unplayable.

UA Warrington is likely to be OPEN and subject to Referee discretion on their state of play. The Caretaker arrives at 9am so it will not be possible to inspect pitches there until quite late to confirm, apologies for that inconvenience if its any of your teams affected, but fairly sure all will be ok based on our regular inspections of all club venues.
