‘Pride of The Community’
Unicorn Athletic JFC History…. Unicorn Athletic were formed in 1977 and have predominately been running as a Junior football club for the past 38 years having many successes up to youth football.
In the last few seasons the club has expanded in to adult football seeing the adult’s side coming runners-up 2 years on the bounce in the Broadheath Central Cup, being beat in extra time in both finals and finishing 3rd in the Altrincham & District League before we made the step up to The Hallmark Security Cheshire League. The move to the Cheshire League saw a move in stadia for Unicorn. Smiths Field was the home for the 1st XI but now first team games are played at Valley Road stadium as we look to work ourselves up the non-league pyramid. The club has over 400 players and 40+ coaches with many teams and success in the junior and youth squads.

DAVE POTTER
Welcome to Valley Road for today’s Cheshire League 2 fixture against Moore United. In the last few weeks myself and Gary Brown are working hard to get the best out of the lads and push forward our work with Wayne Richardson at training.
I can only see us turning things around, we have brought in quality signings in the last few weeks; strengthening from the top, middle and back. Now its time to blend the team getting them hungry for the fight and fit for the tests and work like a real team that would run through brick walls for each other. Whilst we have had a bad 2 months, that’s now in the past. What happens this week and next could set us up for a big finish and I still can see us having a big say in the league run in. If we sort stuff out fast for the J A Walton Cup we could be in with a good chance of progressing. My idea is to get everyone fit and fighting for a spot. I don't want players that are moaning they are not getting 90 minutes and don't turn up every week to training. I want players that can manage themselves that know what to do at the right time that encourage their team mates to motivate each other and want the whole team and club to succeed not just personal glory. It’s a tough game today as Moore United have proved in previous results despite a shaky start to the season similar to ours. I hope it’s an entertaining game and you enjoy your time with Unicorn today

Next Up Unicorn Ath v Wythenshawe Town December 19th Admission: £2/£1/Free Ericstan Park, Wythenshawe
Next up for Unicorn Athletic is a trip to local side Wythenshawe Town in Baguley where we face off for the second time this season, this time in the J A Walton Challenge Cup Wythenshawe Town ply their trade in the Cheshire League 1 after winning Unicorn’s current league last season, winning every game. Manager Dave Potter had his say on the game, “An extremely tough game this will be for us.
Wythenshawe won every game last season and the whole club is on the up so momentum is with them. Despite a change of management and players, they are still a superb outfit. They outplayed us in the previous encounter but this time we want a better, more competitive performance”. Another big game and we need your support away from home. It’s another local game with big importance so make sure you don’t miss this one. There will be some build up on the club’s Twitter and Facebook pages so make sure you’re keeping updated with the latest Unicorn news.
