Squires Gate vs Winsford United

v Winsford United 22.03.2016 NWCFL Premier Division Kick Off: 19:45 Issue 19 ÂŁ1.50

DANNY

PENSWICK Good evening everyone,

We welcome Winsford tonight in what I'm hoping will be an entertaining game of football. I got appointed as manager just before our last meeting at the start of October where we were beaten 2-0. I believe that we have come a long way since then, grinding out results and beating teams like 1874 Northwich. The team spirit is good in the squad. We are going into a tough set of fixtures over the easter period, as we aim to finish as high as we can, picking up as many points as possible. The big game for us will be AFC Blackpool on Easter Monday, where we host them for the first time this season.

“The big game for us will be AFC Blackpool on Easter Monday” Onto today’s visitors, Winsford, and they will be buoyed by a last minute winner against Darwen on Saturday and approach the game looking safe in mid table. They have proved they are a good footballing side under Lee Duckworth but I feel that we have drastically improved since the last meeting to go out there and match them on the pitch. Winsford have some quality players amongst their squad, Kyle Riley, is one of them who knows how to score goals.

“They have proved they are a good footballing side” With one defeat in our last 7 we’re becoming a tough team to beat, and coming from behind in our last 3 games shows we’re adding determination to our quality. I’ve been impressed with our performances so far, and we show that we are capable of getting back on track to finish the season in a positive way.

I know it’s a big cliché but we are taking each game as it comes and can only focus on what is in front of us. We are not safe yet, but have an advantage of 8 points over the bottom three.

“Coming from behind in our last 3 games shows we’re adding determination to our quality” On Saturday I was pleased with the way we adapted mid game, and our desire win personal battles was great to see. Let's hope we can take the game to Winsford and get another positive performance from the boys. I would like to thank the Winsford fans and committee members for travelling here today, and I hope you have a safe journey home.

Ben Fletcher (Sponsored by S.E.I. [Maintenance] LTD) Superb young shot stopper that had a tremendous season last year. He kept numerous clean sheets and played every single minute of every single game. 2015/16 will be his 3rd season with the club where he’ll be looking to continue his fine form.

Nathan Trout (Available for sponsorship) Nathan moved to the Fylde coast from Liverpool. A ball winning centre half that has a big presence on the pitch, he’ll be hoping to force his way into the team and make his position his own.

Alex Colquhoun (Available for sponsorship) After a short spell at the club last season, Alex has returned to the club hungry and determined to play on a regular basis. He showed signs of quality last season and will be looking to cement his place in the 2015/16 season.

Brett Ferguson (Sponsored by Service Solutions Direct Ltd) One of the main characters within the changing room, “Channy” as he is called, always has stories to tell, consistently produced good displays during last season and got on the score sheet on numerous occasions. A very adaptable player that has made a huge impression on all within the club. Winner of Clubman of the Year 2014/15.

Andy Richards (Available for sponsorship) A club stalwart! ‘Rico’ as he is known, has been with the club for many seasons and has become a linchpin of the side. His performances and changing room experience has played a vital role in recent success. A player with many superstitions that is well liked at the club.

Josh Westwood (Sponsored by Mark Ashmore) Josh was a rock at the heart of defence during last season. He produced some fine individual displays and chipped in with a few headed goals. A quiet individual but very popular player that lets his feet, or head do the talking. Josh is also adaptable to play up front.

Mike Hall (Available for sponsorship) Mike was only with Gate briefly last season but his knowledge and experience of the game was beneficial to all that played alongside him. He was influential in his performances and will be looking to have the same impact throughout the 2015/16 season.

Conah Bishop (Available for sponsorship) Conah is one of the youngest players in the squad and plays on the right side of midfield. He has the pace to run at the opposition and can also score goals. He is a great addition to the team.

Joe Noblet (Available for sponsorship) Joe had a spell with Gate a few seasons ago, and returned under the new management of Danny Penswick. He is an attacking midfielder with an eye for goal and will be sure to add goals to the squad.

Alex McKendrick (Available for sponsorship) Alex has been at the club for a number of seasons, first arriving under the stewardship of ex manager Russ McKenna. His work rate and willingness to do the unfashionable jobs in a game have been hugely important to the team. Injury put a halt to his 2014/15 season but he’ll be looking to come back a stronger player this season.

Billy McKenna (Available for sponsorship) The flying winger missed a large part of last season due to injury but is looking to make the right midfield position his own. A popular player within the changing room that can have a big influence on games when in the mood.

Antony Stayte (Available for sponsorship) Stayte is a great addition to the squad, who brings experience from his time at AFC Fylde and from teams in a higher tier. He knows how to organise and motivate his team mates and is very good at holding the ball up.

Ashley Rowley (Sponsored by TravelCare World) Ash joined Gate towards the end of last season, and impressed in the time he played. He scored a crucial equaliser at home to Congleton Town and will be looking to have an impact this season.

Danny Penswick (Sponsored by Bill White) Danny is the manager and captain of the club. He first joined midway through the 2013/14 season and soon established himself as a leader and highly influential player. His game understanding and levels of performance have seen him become a focal point of the team.

Mark Buchan (Available for sponsorship) Mark models himself on Ally McCoist. A fiery Scot that knows where the goal is. His workmanlike performances often go unnoticed, but he scored some valuable goals during last season. An influential player both on and off the pitch and will be a key player during this season.

Aaron Clarke (Available for sponsorship) Aaron was part of the Kirkham and Wesham squad which was victorious at Wembley in 2008. Unfortunately for Aaron, he picked up an injury the week before the final so didn’t take part in the game. A quick striker who possesses skill and eye for a pass and can also play in behind the striker in attacking midfield. Aaron will be looking to cement a spot up top and to fire Gate up the table.

Ryan Tanser (Available for sponsorship) Ryan joined the club in October and came off the bench in the 5-2 defeat away at Atherton Collieries. He scored his first goal for the club on his first full debut in our 5-1 win over Maine Road in the MEN United cup. He will bring goals to the team for sure.

As expected the game started very full blooded with 1874 Northwich coming out the blocks early on full assault. Through the first notable chance fell to Gate 10 minutes. A free kick fired into Josh Westwood at the back post but he headed the ball up rather than at the goal more than matching the visitors.

The real controversy of the first half came in the 25th minute.

Greg Hall, the 1874 keeper, had appeared to handle the ball outside his box only to be punished with a yellow card.

Mark Buchan stepped up to strike the resulting free kick but that was cleared to Stayte who put it out for a corner. 1874 showed how dangerous they can be when Woolley, Beadle and Brandon linked up, up top but

Squires Gate travelled to Congleton on Saturday looking to continue there relegation battle with another three points.

After Gates superb late win against promotion chasing 1874 Northwich, they chose to make just the one change with Jake Higham coming back into the starting 11 to replace Alex Mckendrick who was unavailable.

Gate made a good start to the game and had all the possession in the opening five minutes. As early as three minutes Gate had their first chance but the Congleton defender did well to Shepard the ball out of play after Gate hit the home side in numbers. The home sides first chance came on six minutes but striker Brian Matthews fired wide of goal after doing well to bring the ball down.

First Nathan Trout then Joe Noblet had chances for Gate but neither could capitalise. Trout sent the ball over the bar after the corner fell to him and Noblet half volleyed the ball from the edge of the area but that hit a Congleton defender and was cleared. Gates couldn't capitalise

Gate could have equalised ten minutes after. Good link up play between Tanser, Buchan and McKenna but Buchans low drive was well saved to the keepers left. Again McKenna was involved when he received the ball from Buchans hold up. But his cross was punched clear by the keeper.

After working hard to win the ball back, he chose to shoot instead of crossing to find the two waiting.

Gate could have won the game with several late chances but couldn't capitalise on good pressure. Gate will settle for the point after being behind coming away with a point at a tough ground like Congleton is a bonus. Gate face another though test on Tuesday night at home against Winsford.

Gates first chance of the second half came from a Freekick. Josh Westwood with a great chance at the back post but he just could stretch far enough to reach the ball.

Gate made a great improvement in the second half and Jake Higham could have equalised. But his shot was straight at the keeper.

Gate wouldn't have to wait long after that to find the equaliser though. Nathan Trout picking up the ball in defence. He took a touch before clipping the ball towards the path of Tanser. The striker bought the ball down with class before

It was time for a fresh start and Chris Willcock and John Flanagan took over the team and the Blues led the table from early season right up to the end when they were promoted to Division One as champions. Surprisingly Chris and John left at the end of the season and moved to Woodley Sports, taking the best players with them.

Once again Winsford were on the lookout for a new Manager and this time they turned to the Liverpool area for Joe Gibiliru who had managed St Helens Town in the First Division. Joe was faced with rebuilding the team and in spite of this he guided the team to a respectable 12th place. Experienced players were brought in for the 2008-2009 season and this has had an immediate effect with several good performances but it was not to last and the team fought a desperate battle against relegation.

A fresh start was made for the 2009-2010 season and once again Winsford turned to local talent with Terry Murphy as Manager and Mike Alcock and Tony Ledwards as Assistant Managers. Unfortunately both Terry and Mike finished with health problems and Tony was handed the Manager’s job.

It was still a struggle with a team of youngsters and Dave Twite returned to the hot seat and saved them from relegation, winning his first six matches in charge.

However, with everything in place for a serious assault on the league title and over £20,000 spent on improving the facilities and pitch, the club was rocked when two weeks before the start of the season Lloyd Morrison announced he was going to Mossley AFC as Joint Manager and not only that, he expected to take sixteen registered players with him. This led to an acrimonious situation between the two clubs with Mossley unable to register the players and Winsford refusing to allow their dual registration. Eventually an agreement was reached on Winsford’s terms.

SATURDAY 7th MARCH 2015 15:00

Squires Gate travelled to Winsford last March looking to continue their recent good form. Gates last game out resulted in Victory for the Blackpool side. Two goals from Mark Buchan cancelling out the early opener from Sam Freakes. Gates opponents for the day, Winsford currently sit 6th in the form table with 3 wins, 2 draws and one defeat in the last 6 games. Gate sat 10th having lost one more game than Winsford.

Gate made just the one change from Saturdays win with Josh Westwood coming back in at the back for the suspended Danny Penswick. It would be fair to say that the first half wasn't one of much quality. Both teams really struggled to play on what was a poor surface. Squires Gate only really had the one chance in the first half and even that never looked like a clear scoring opportunity. The long throw launched into the box was inches away from finding Mark Buchan but the Winsford defender just nipped in ahead of Buchan to clear the ball. Winsford had several shot's throughout the first half but none really tested Fletcher in net.

The second half was much of the same unfortunately. Gate had a few more half chances but never really looked like scoring. Billy McKenna had the chance to open the scoring but after the ball was played across the face of the goal his shot was blocked. Gates only other real chance of the second half came from Mark Buchan. From the free kick just outside of the box he tried to catch the goal keeper out at his near post but the keeper got down well to save the goal bound shot.

Not the best day at the office for Gate but with a clean sheet and a solid performance from the returning Josh Westwood there were positives to take from the game.

SATURDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2014 15:00

Gate made three changes from Saturday’s draw, Mark Buchan dropped to the bench with Ryan Riley coming in, Alex Colquhoun came in for Jack Cook and Hothersall came in for Jake Forshaw. It was a fairly even start to the game with both games looking even in the opening 20. Gate's real first chance came when Chris Anderson played a clever ball down the line to Jack Sowerby. Sowerby knocked the ball back to the on-rushing Harry Dunn but his shot was saved well and Gate couldn't capitalise from the corner. Gate could have had a penalty on the 35th minute, the ball swung in the penalty area was punched by Winsford's keeper who seemed to get more of Josh Westwood's head than the ball but the ref awarded a free kick to Winsford. Gate opened the scoring on the 44th minute Jack Sowerby picking the ball up on the edge of the area after a loose pass from the Winsford goalkeeper, after beating two defenders Sowerby slot the ball into the back of the net with great confidence.

Into the second half and it didn't take Gate long to double their lead. Straight from kick off Harry Dunn attacked into Winsford half and passed the ball to Sowerby, he managed to control the ball in the box and side foot the ball to score his and Gates second goal. It would be fair to say that between the 44th minute and the 48th minute were the most entertaining of the game. As Winsford took the kick off after Sowerby's second of the game they managed to get themselves back into the game. The long ball up to the Winsford winger who nodded down for Ryan Mathews to get one back on the 47th minute for

SATURDAY 3RD OCTOBER 2015 15:00

Squires Gate kicked off a new era at The Royal British Legion Stadium as Danny Penswick took charge of his first game.

Penswick took the reigns after the club parted company with Dave McCann. Penswick chose to recall Stephen Higgins after he served his ban and Mckendrick after his injury. Gate started the half on fire and could have scored after 3 minutes. Penswick fired the freekick into the box but couldn’t find a Gate man. From the goal kick Winsford went down the other end and had a chance of their own. But Ben Fletcher came to Gates rescue to deny Winsford after the attacker found space. Alex Colquhoun had the chance to open the scoring from the corner but his shot floated over the bar. The game was controlled

by Gate throughout the first half with the home side seeing more of the ball and having the best of the chances. Winsford opened the scoring against the run of play after 16 minutes. The striker reading the flick on which beat Colquhoun found the run of his teammate to score. Gate had a shout for a penalty turned down on 25 minutes a good burst into the box from Mckendrick the defender seemed to handball the ball but the ref waved away Gate’s claims. Gate were unlucky to go into half time one goal down but couldn’t convert there chances.

The second half featured many chances again for Gate but the Blackpool side struggled to capitalise on their dominance.

Ash Rowley had the chance to grab a goal back for Gate on 50 minutes from just inside the box. A good run from McKenna found Rowley who spun his man but his shot was saved. Rowley was involved again 5 minutes later when he found Alex Mckendrick on the edge of the box but he chose to cut the ball back to the edge of the box instead of across the face of goal and the ball was cleared. Billy McKenna was next to attack the Winsford back line and showed good skill to get past his man but his cross into the box couldn’t find any of the 3 Gate attackers waiting. Ryan Riley had a chance to put Gate level

Looking forward to Euro 2016, Gate keeper Ben Fletcher tells us who he would take to France, who he thinks will be key for England and who would make his starting 11.

WHO WILL BE KEY? Without a doubt, we will need Joe Hart to be on top form. I know as a keeper how much pressure he will have to deal with. He’s definitely the best keeper I’ve seen in an England shirt for a long time. Let’s just hope he’s been practicing saving penalties, just in case.

It’ll be interesting to see how Harry Kane deals with the pressure on him to score. He’s proved himself in the Premier League, and has a natural instinct to shoot when facing goal. He’s not got a bad header on him either.

England have been calling out for a creative midfielder for a long time, and even more so since Gerrard retired. Ross Barkley can fill that role and has a rocket of a strike on him as well.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain FORWARDS Daniel Sturridge Jamie Vardy Wayne Rooney Harry Kane

HOW FAR WILL WE GO? You never know what to expect with England, but I think we have a good chance this year. We have a good young squad mixed with experience. I’m going to say quarter finals, I think we have a relatively easy group but I think it will be typical England to get knocked out on penalties.

Ahead of tonights game, we spoke to Winsford fan Joe Duckworth about how he thinks Winsford have copd

this season, which teams have impressed him and which 3 PL players he would sign for Winsford.

How would you sum up your performances this season? What has been your best result so far, and where are you hoping to finish?

Even though we lost at Barnton, Lee Duckworth’s first game in charge was our best performance, we were very unfortunate to lose. In terms of position I would be very happy with top 12. Unfortunately we couldn’t beat local rivals 1874 a few weeks back though.

What teams have impressed you this season? Who do you think has been the best team you have played?

Colne impressed along with 1874 Northwich but I think Colne were the better side and will win the league. Their manager Steve Cunningham has a great side there, and they have 3 games in hand on Linnets.

What do you think has been the best result?

Our best result was our 2-0 victory here in the FA Vase back in October, we were very good that day and kept a clean sheet. What else could you ask for?

Within your time watching Winsford, what has been your most memorable game and moment?

When they won the league, and my older brother, Lee who is now player/manager scored a great freekick which turned out to be the winner.

What is the best goal you have ever seen, at any level in football?

Stevie Gerrard’s goal against West Ham in the FA Cup final to take us to extra time. Not many players could hit a ball like he did.

What would be your dream scenario at Wembley?

I will be going to Wembley if Winsford or Liverpool get there. My dream scenario would be Liverpool against Winsford with a Winsford win. Wouldn’t it be great!

After beating Squires Gate back at the start of October, both sides are now settled under new management. Do you think that will change the result today?

I would expect it to be a tough game and with both sides under new management, it will definitely change the game with them both wanting different things to their predecessors.

If you could pick 3 PL players to join Winsford United on a free. Who would they be?

As a Liverpool fan, I’ll have to pick Christian Benteke, Jamie Vardy and Phillipe Coutinho. They all give 100% every game and could you imagine them three against defenders in this league? Lethal!

Which Winsford players should Gate fans watch out for today?

SQUIRES GATE 1

John Maguire We spoke to Gate secretary John Maguire and asked him about his time at Squires Gate. John has been at the club since he was 15 and has gone from the junior team to secretary of the club. Here is what he had to say;

What encouraged you to get involved in non league, and Squires Gate?

I joined Squires Gate as a 15 year old, and started playing junior football (nearly 10 years ago now!!). Years have gone on and I’ve played for the first team, captained the first team, I’ve been manager and now I’m secretary. I’ve had some great years at Squires Gate and I’ve enjoyed every season. It is a great club to be a part of.

Within your time at Squires Gate, what has been your most memorable moment and game?

There has been many memorable games that I have both managed and played in. The most memorable game was the 2-1 victory over Ashton Athletic which meant we stayed in the Premier Division and avoided relegation. That day was so special for Gate supporters.

The most memorable moment was captaining us to the Richardson Cup final victory back in 1987.

If Gate were to stay up this season, what would you say the aim would be for next season?

Next season it would be great to build on what has been achieved so far this season. Penswick has done a superb job so far so it will be interesting to see what he can bring to the team next campaign.

Who has been the best opposition that you have seen at Squires Gate within your time here?

Best team we've played this season was Colne, solid defensively and plenty of attacking options who can bring goals to the team, but I think Linnets will pip them to the title.

What would be your dream achievement to reach with Squires Gate? (Football League? Win the FA Cup?) It would be great to have a good cup run in the FA Cup or Vase and finish in the top half of the league. A trip to a football league club in the first round of the cup would be a great achievement.

What has been the best goal that you have seen at non league level?

Some of the best goals I have seen have been scored by Jack Sowerby, none better than the one 2 years ago at Ashton that kept us up.

Do you have any favourite grounds to visit in the NWCFL and in non league?

I have no particular favourite ground. Any ground where we keep a clean sheet will do for me!

Prediction for tonight?

I’m going to say a Gate win.

Nathan McKie What has been the best game you have watched this season? On the other hand, what has been the worst game you have watched this season?

The best game I’ve watched this season was Runcorn Linnets vs AFC Liverpool, a well fought competition with some good football which finished 2-1.

The worst game I’ve watched was Runcorn Town vs Silsden.

Do you have any favourite non league grounds? What do you enjoy the most about non league?

I do enjoy visiting Runcorn Linnets and Ashton Athletic. The cheap admission prices are the best part about non league football.

Have you ever witnessed any memorable moments in non league? (Play off wins, league wins, etc)?

LAST SEASON SQUIRES GATE 2 CAMMELL LAIRD 2 Gate made a great start to the game and took the lead after 2 minutes of the first half.

The ball was sent forward to Josh Westwood who's flick on found the run of Terry Cummings he controlled the ball and in a swift motion fired the ball to put Gate into an early lead.

Gate were back on the attack again shortly after taking the lead with Josh Kay on the left but his through ball was cut out before it could reach Josh Westwood. Lairds had their first chance after 20 minutes but star striker Craig Cairns saw his chipped shot fall the wrong side of the post. Gate had the chance to double their lead through first Josh Kay then Alex Mckendrick but the ball was scrambled away for a corner.

What followed was a good spell of play from Lairds.

The visitors could have equalised through Gibiliru but his shot was saved well by Fletcher for Gate. The visitors would find the equaliser 2 minutes before half time, the free kick given away by Richards in the far corner led to the ball being crossed into the back post from the free kick and Ferrigan making it all level. Lairds didn't hang around and with one of the last kicks of the first half they took the lead. Gibiliru finding space in the box to extend Lairds lead into the break.

Gate again made a good start to the half just as they did in the first and after 3 minutes made the game level. Good work by Josh Kay on the left to beat his man before chipping over the onrushing keeper which seemed to take an age to drop to level the game.

Lairds had the chance to counter 20 minutes into the second half but good work from Richards and Benjamin cut out the danger. What followed was a battle in the middle of the pitch with both midfields seeing alot of the ball both trying to create something for either team.

Sub Ash Rowley had a good run down the left beating his marker but his shot was well saved by the keeper as Gate pilled on the pressure. Lairds best chance of the closing stages of the game came late on but Wes Benjamin was in the right place at the right time to clear the ball off the line.
