Squires Gate vs Colne 18/11/14

Tuesday 18th November 2014 Kick Off: 19.45

Colne FC

Dave McCann Says Good evening and welcome to The Royal British Legion Stadium for tonight’s home league fixture against Colne FC. First of all may I welcome Colne’s management team and all associated with the club. I hope you feel welcomed and have a safe journey home.

Over the last 10 days the club, players, Tommo and I have been through a range of emotions due to happenings both on and off the pitch. On the pitch we’ve had 2 fantastic results and performances and 1 poor result and performance. This time last week we let ourselves down with our performance and the result was evidence of that, however, on Saturday we produced a really good gritty performance that saw us beat a strong Bootle side 1-0. More of the same character and mentality will be needed tonight by the players. Off the pitch we lost our and possibly the leagues best goal scorer in Jack Sowerby to our neighbours Fleetwood Town FC. Everyone at the club is immensely proud of what Jack has achieved and we wish him all the best. The club worked hard to provide Jack with the environment he needed to thrive and he certainly did that this season.

Tonight we face Colne who I consider to be contenders for a top 5 finish this season. They are a very strong side and have good resources to call upon if required. We played poorly at their place earlier on in the season and are determined to prove that we can match what they have to offer tonight.

I hope you enjoy the game and visit us again for our next home fixture….

UP THE GATE!

Ashton Athletic 4-0 Squires Gate

Brocstedes Park Attendance: 56 Tuesday 11th November 2014

Squires Gate travelled to Ashton Athletic on Tuesday night looking to continue their good form which saw Gate beat Runcorn Town 7-2 on the previous Saturday. Gate came into the game with an unchanged side with only Jonathan Hothersall dropping from the bench.

It wasn't the start the game would have wanted as with just four minutes on the clock Ashton opened the scoring. Sloppy defending from Gate allowed Ashton the room and time to easily score.

Gate had the chance to equalise soon after top goals scorer Jack Sowerby broke away from the last man but his tame shot could only find the goalkeepers gloves. Gate had another chance soon after, the ball knocked down by Jack Sowerby to Alex Murphy but his shot fell wide of the post. Gate's defence withstood a lot of pressure throughout the first half but stood firm. The home side doubled their lead on the 40th minute though joint manager Ben Kay, with a sweet volley just inside the area.

Into the second half and no improvement was made from the away side. Gate struggled to really get a hold of the game and were constantly hounded put by an impressive organised Ashton side. Gates day was made worse with a couple of minutes of madness. First Sam Bailey scored directly from the corner kick then just a minute later Adam Gilchrist made it two in two minutes. Late chances for both Chris Anderson and Jack Sowerby but Ashton saw out the game. After a weekend that saw Gate run out winners against Runcorn, in every way imaginable with Flair, fighting spirit and passion, Gate Boss now needs to re install these qualities to the team as tonight all was dreadfully missing..

Squires Gate 1-0 Bootle Royal British Legion Attendance: 85 Saturday 15th November 2014

Squires Gate welcomed Bootle Fc to the Royal British legion stadium for their north west counties premier league encounter, Gate leapfrog the Bucks in the table with a 1-0 win.

Gate started the game without star striker Jack Sowerby who this week signed for neighbours Fleetwood Town, within just two minutes on the clock Jake Forshaw beat his marker on the edge of the area but saw his curled shot hit the post, on 10 minutes Bootle threw bodies on the line to deny a certain goal .Gate's Alex Murphy inches from the games opener. Bootle's Michael Roberts had their first effort of any substance on 17 mins, his shot flying just wide of the upright. Gate'sMark Buchan brought a smart save from the stags keeper Joshua Clark, the keeper throwing his legs in the way to deny Buchan, as the first half drew to a close it was the away side ended the half the stronger with 2 efforts going close.

Gate Josh Westwood came close just after the break, his header skimming the wrong side of the post, moments later Bootle had three attempts saved on the line in a good old fashioned goal mouth scramble,as often happens in football Gate went straight up the pitch and took the lead a minute later, Alex Murphy scoring directly from a long range free kick on 53 minutes after nobody in the area made any connection and the ball flew in unchallenged. Bootle felt they had a strong case for a penalty on 70 mins but the ref waived them away. Gate almost doubled their lead on 72 mins. , the Bootle keeper Clark just doing enough to slow Murphy's shot, the ball hitting the post and rebounding into the keepers arms.

Two minutes later gate's Harry Dunn had the ball in the back of the net but the effort was controversially ruled out for offside. Gate sub James Edmonds came close to a debut goal, heading against the foot of the post.With Bootle committing men forward in search of an equaliser Gate continued to create chances, Jack Cook running into Bootle territory and when he seemed all set to seal the win Jamie Hay threw himself at the goal bound effort to deny him.

A delighted Gate Manager Dave McCann added "After all that's happened at the club over the past 7 days the result and performance was excellent, we had to defend for long periods particularly in the 2nd half but we did so really well. We created plenty of goal scoring opportunities but their keeper pulled off some fine

Gate 1-0 Bootle

Match Preview Good evening and welcome to The Royal British Legion Stadium, for tonight’s NWCFL fixture between Squires Gate and Colne. The two sides head into tonight’s game on the back of alternate results, after the weekend. Last week was a rollercoaster week for everyone involved with Squires Gate, on the back of a 7-2 win at Runcorn Town, Gate then travelled to Ashton Athletic last Tuesday, which ended in a 4-0 defeat. By the end of the week, news was then revealed by the club.

Jack Sowerby, who had netted 21 goals in 20 games, was sold to League 1 and local side Fleetwood Town. A great youth prospect, who was being watched for several weeks by quite a few clubs, and has now signed a professional contract! We wish Jack all the best for the future, and who knows where he will go from here.

Gate were without Sowerby for their game on Saturday against Bootle. However, we were still creating chances - having two chances cleared off the line, hitting the woodwork twice, and having various one on one chances. Both sides were defending well in the first half, and it was going to take something special to separate the sides. Up stepped Alex Murphy, with a free kick on the corner of the 18 yard box, left footed past the wall and into the bottom corner, putting Gate 1-0 up with over half an hour to play. Bootle then kept attacking the Gate back four, but resisting well and managing to keep them out. The game ended 1-0, but it’s fair to say Bootle will be up in the top half come the end of the season.

Onto today’s game, Colne on the back of a 6-0 defeat at home to high flyers Glossop North End, will want to get back to winning ways straight away. The last time these sides met, was only 2 months ago. On a cold and wet Tuesday night, Colne controlled the game and walked away with the 3 points, Gate just couldn’t get into the game.

Top scorer for Colne, Danny Boyle, has netted an impressive 19 goals in all competitions and will be looking to add to his tally tonight. As Colne sit 7th in the league, 4 points behind Nelson, they could close that gap with a win tonight. However, with only 4 fixtures tonight, Gate could go as high as 8th if they win and results go their way.

Both sides have been on great form as of late. Gate are unbeaten at home in their last 4 games, winning 3 of them. However, Colne have won their last 4 away games. Altogether, in their last 6 matches - Gate have lost 1 and Colne have lost 2.

We would like to thank you for your continued support, and we hope you have a safe journey home. Be sure to come in and pick up one of our delicious meat and potato pies and a hot drink on this cold Tuesday night!

One more thing, Enjooooooy the game!

By Daniel Hayden. Programme Editor.

Colne Colne Nickname: The Reds Founded: 1998 Capacity:1800 Ground: XLCR Stadium Colne F.C. were formed in January 1996, by a group of like-minded people under the wing of now Chairman Dave Blacklock.

The enthusiasts combined their strengths and knowledge of non league football, and arrangements were made for a new club to use the vacant Holt House Stadium, once used by the Dynamoes in the North West Counties Football League Division Two. z Colne FC’s first ever competitive game was on the 17th August 1996 against Middlewich and the result ended in a 1 – 0 defeat.

The team was then managed by Keith Mason, but after his resignation soon after, Denzil Hart was appointed to the hot seat.

His first game was a 6 – 0 defeat away at Ashton Town, but just two games later Colne FC recorded their first ever victory thumping Bacup Borough 5 – 2. The highlight of the season, coming when the reserves won the BEP Cup at Clitheroe’s Shawbridge ground.

The clubs fourth season was eagerly awaited, but in September 2000 manager Hart left the club by mutual agreement.

Player John Lister was placed in temporary charge and his appointment was made permanent a month later. Lister learned lessons from this campaign and in 2001/02 finished 14th .

In the summer of 2002 James Webster took control of the club, to become the youngest chairman in the league at the age of 24. James was a player at the club with plenty of experience and along with his father who was vice chairman, had a strong desire to see the current side emulate the success of its predecessors.

Season 2002/03 started well enough, but in December 2002 John Lister resigned as Manager.

Paul Lynch took over as manager and the improvements continued, but in August 2003, Paul was offered the position of manager at Unibond side Rossendale United and subsequently left.

Webster responded immediately by appointing Nigel Coates as the new manager as well as player Gary Rishton as his number 2. Nigel had played for the Dynamoes, being in the FA Vase winning team and had experience of management at local rivals Nelson.

Season 2003/04 brought back the glory days to Colne with a string of successes. In the League Colne had to play catch up after a successful cup run, but ended the season 10 points clear in Division two, scoring 102 goals in their 38 games.

We completed the double by winning the Division Two Trophy 1 – 0 over Great Harwood.

The season was capped by an amazing run in the FA Vase for a North West Counties Football League Division Two club, they progressed all the way to the semi-finals, (via an incredible 1 – 2 away win at AFC Wimbledon) before being defeated over two legs 4 – 3 on aggregate to AFC Sudbury.

As the season progressed attendances started to rise as the local population realised we were no longer the whipping boys of the league, and the famous RED ARMY was formed.

Colne took little time in adjusting to life in the First Division, another FA Vase run and a creditable 10th place was secured in 2004-/05 Consolidation has followed and Colne FC’s highest league positions to date have been 5th in season 2007-08 and the same again in 2010-11.

At the beginning of season 2005-6 the senior sides at Colne were officially amalgamated with what was Foulridge Minors Football teams. This adds the junior section to the resources of the club and the following season was awarded Charter Standard status.

In November 2013 Colne’s manager for the past 10 years stepped down from the hot seat and former Colne player Steve Cunningham was appointed manager, with another former Colne favourite Ted Cockett as his No.2 and Coach.

Steve and Ted have ambitious plans for the club and wasted no time in bringing in a few new faces to boost the playing squad, consolidating for the rest of the season but with big hopes and plans for the following seasons.

Last Time Out Gate 2-1 Colne Gate move up to their highest league position for 2 years....

Squires Gate looked tip top, as they posed in their new strip before the kick off. But with only ten minutes on the clock and with Gate looking the better side, up popped a banana skin, and the visitors took the lead when Gate lost the ball in the visitors half, and were dearly punished when Colne striker Jason Hart, caught Ben Fletcher way off his line, and neatly slotted home the opening goal. Gate were looking confident attacking and defended more thoroughly, but despite efforts from Andy Richards and Seydou Bamba, they were unable to find a gap in the Colne defence.

Half time came and went, and despite Jack Sowerby and Ben Fishwick making inroads there was no finishing touch. Plus with all the attacking the home side were doing, there was always the danger of a space for a side the calibre of Colne to take advantage. Craig Carney, came on as sub, for his debut, and was immediately involved in the action, he raced to pick up a loose ball on the half way line and crossed to Andy Richards, who beat defender and keeper, looking certain to score, only to be brought down, by a dive from the keeper, and before the referee could make his mind up to award a penalty or not, in raced Ben Fishwick to blast home Gate's equaliser. Then before the visitors could compose themselves, Andy Harvey who had replaced the injured Jamie Bryson, at left back very early in the game, picked up the ball in his own half raced forward, inter passed with sub Craig Carney, and then took the ball at the defence racing past defenders into the penalty area before unleashing a pile driver, into the bottom left corner of the net, to win the game for Squires Gate and elevate them to their highest place in the table for two seasons.

Chris Churchman came on as sub, and his fresh legs helped Gate keep control

Ones To Watch Mark Ashmore has been on the case and gives us a look at the opposition and which players will be a danger today. Here are his picks;

Alex Coleman

The big Centre back came through the ranks at Burnley from the age of 7. He also has experience on loan at Droylsden in the Conference North. A player who has the quality to be playing at a higher level than this, he'll be a big part in Colnes plans

Simon Nangle Another player with experience at a higher level Nangle played at Clitheroe before joining Colne.

The central midfielder is a key part in how Colne play. Has the ability to both assist goals and put in his fair share of tackles.

Danny Boyle The attacker has scored 13 goals in the league this season and 6 in the cup. Listing Padiham as one of his former clubs he scored in the reverse fixture when the two sides met earlier in the year.

He also won player of the month for October.

GATE STAR SIGNS PRO Squires Gate FC can reveal that Jack Sowerby of Squires Gate FC has signed for Fleetwood Town Football Club.

"Sowers" as he's known by team mates, released by Preston North End FC a few years ago has been monitored ever since by Fleetwood Town manager and ex P.N.E. player Graham Alexander, since joining Squires Gate the 19 year old has gone from strength to strength this season especially grabbing a Hattrick of Hat-tricks, plus the leading league top scorer of 17 goals in just 17 games this season alone in the NWCFL Premier Division.

Squires Gate FC Chairman Stuart Hopwood commented "We're sorry to be losing Jack, he's been a breath of fresh air on and off the field, I'm sure I speak for the whole of the playing and backroom staff that we wish Jack all the very best in the world, we're so pleased for the lad, and I feel he couldn't have gone to a finer club".

Gate manager Dave McCann added " I'm really pleased for him and over the moon that he's signed professional forms with Fleetwood Town.

He has been playing exceptionally well this season and deserves his chance, he'll be missed, but no one could deny him this opportunity".

NWCFL Newsletter The leading clubs at the top of both divisions all picked up points in the weekend's league fixtures.

In the Premier Division, league leaders Runcorn Linnets left it late to secure victory over St Helens Town, with Kyle Hamid striking the only goal of the game with nine minutes remaining.

By contrast, second placed Glossop North End had the points in the bag by half time at Colne, being four goals up and eventually running out 6-0 winners. Tom Bailey and Lee Blackshaw both scored twice for the visitors.

1874 Northwich celebrated the second anniversary of the club's formation at their home game against Nelson, but both sides failed to break the deadlock in a match that ended goalless.

1874 remain in third place but are now level on points with Ashton Athletic, who beat Barnoldswick Town 2-0 at Brocstedes Park thanks to second half goals from Adam Gilchrist and Paul Watson. The result keeps Barlick in the relegation zone.

AFC Liverpool are fifth following a 3-1 win over Abbey Hey. Brandon Zibaka gave the visitors an early lead, but two goals from Ryan Cox and another from Steve Jones ensured victory for the home side.

Winsford United emerged victorious from the Cheshire derby against Congleton Town at Booth Street, an Alex Byrne penalty three minutes after the break securing a 1-0 win.

A single goal also earned a win for Squires Gate at home to Bootle, courtesy of Alex Murphy's goal eight minutes into the second half.

Two first half goals from Josh Harper put Maine Road in the driving seat at Stockport Sports, and although Derryn Offori pulled a goal back for the Saxons on the hour, a late third goal from Nicholas Alexander made sure that Road collected all three points from a 3-1 win.

Alsager Town were seconds away from victory at Silsden, but Ryan Wintle's goal on the stroke of half time was cancelled out by Joe JalĂŹl's 90th minute equaliser.

AFC Blackpool remain in second bottom spot but collected a valuable point from a 0-0 draw at West Didsbury & Chorlton
