I’m really pleased with every single one of my players today. Considering I’ve only had one training session with the group and very limited time. Every player took onboard there individual and team responsibilities. There’s no secret that In previous games we had been conceding not just a vast amount of goals but a vast amount of silly goals that were caused from our own mistakes. My aim today was to go back to basics and shut up shop but without being negative. We created a number of chances and went toe to toe with them until my right back, left back and centre back all got injured and replaced. From then I was shuffling the pack asking players to play out of position in a brand new system and structure. We didn’t really cause them any problems from then on in. There were lots of positives from today including the groups desire to put their body on the line and stick together when it got tough. I’m asking the players to now play with intensity and within a system that demands good fitness levels and with 4 injuries, legs that aren’t use to the workload and a game Monday, our recovery is vital. Mossely sit in 8th so this game was never in my plans for 3 points but Newcastle is a different landscape. We need as much support as possible at Greenfields Monday night to achieve what we need to get us on track for #project25

NEWCASTLE TOWN FC www.newcastletwonfc.co.uk
Newcastle Town FC emerged in its current format from a merger with Parkway Clayton in 1986 and are now enjoying life in Evostik League Football. Their recently renamed Red Industries Stadium in Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire has a capacity of 4,000, covered accommodation for 1000, seating for 300, a tidy well equipped clubhouse which offers amongst other beverages quality cask conditioned ale, and a £60,000 floodlighting system. The playing surface is surrounded by one of the few recognised cycling tracks in the north of the country which hosts many competitions and has been used by the Great British Cycling Team in the recent past. In the season immediately after the merger with Parkway Clayton Newcastle Town enjoyed much success ending runners up in the Mid Cheshire League and moving into the North West Counties League as a limited company in 1987. After promotion from Division Two in the early 1990’s the club enjoyed a lot of success in Division One winning the Tennants Floodlit Trophy, the Walsall Senior Cup and the NWCL Floodlit Trophy although constantly just missing out on promotion at the death. In the 96/97 season the club enjoyed a tremendous run in the FA Cup defeating Winsford United, Frickley and Bamber Town from the Unibond League on their way to the first round proper where they narrowly lost to Notts County, the oldest league club in the world, at what was to be one of the last cup ties at Stoke City’s famous Victoria Ground. Following the turn of the century promotion continued to escape the clutches of Newcastle Town although playing extremely entertaining football under the likes of managers Ray Walker before his move to Crewe Alexandria and Nigel Gleghorn formerly with Stoke City.
In the season 2006/07 Towns form fell away after a very promising start and management duo Greg Clowes and Dorian Garner took over the reins after a successful period with Unibond side Alsager Town. Results picked up and new players arrived with Castle only losing 4 of their last 18 games in the new duos first season in charge. Paul Ratcliffe also took over as Chairman of the club at this time. The next couple of years saw the management continue to build a side that would challenge for promotion although both proved disappointing with Castle again narrowly missing out mainly due to key players injuries. Despite the disappointment of no promotion Newcastle players Simon Eldershaw (Player of the Month) Jon Ritchie (Safe Hands) and Richard Minor (Division1 Player of the Season) brought success with their awards. Finally in Season 2009/10 Newcastle Town achieved their dream of promotion. They led the Vodkat League from day 1 and by the time they dropped their first points having won the first 28 games, the title was almost secure. Best start, most League wins in a season and most points were three of the records that the club broke. They also lifted the Staffs Senior Cup for the first time with an amazing 6-1 victory over Port Vale at Vale Park. Hardly had the team’s success sunk in when Newcastle Town were rocked in the close season with both Manager Greg Clowes and Assistant Dorian Garner leaving for Stafford Rangers taking the whole squad with them. Undaunted the club followed current policy and appointed from within with John Diskin, Dave Sutton and Ivan Lodge being promoted from their respective roles with both the second Team and the Youth Team. Their brief was to rebuild a First Team squad capable of confirming their position within the Evostik First Division.
Currently Castle seem to have achieved their goal sitting mid table with notable results against teams challenging for promotion this season as well as winning performances in competitions against teams from higher divisions. Castle ended the 2011-12 season in a respectable position but with higher hopes as there was a great deal of success from the younger players coming through at the club. Town continued to build for the future in 201213 in a season which saw an influx of their successful Youth Team into the First Team Squad as the season progressed. Season 2013-14 saw Castle’s young side improve throughout the season and finish a very respectable eighth in the League. With the Young Reserve side reaching the final of the Leek Cup and the Youth Team winning the County Youth Floodlit Cup Newcastle will be looking to push on and continue their development. Further improvement came in 2014-15 with Castle reaching the play-offs where they were defeated by Sutton Coldfield Town who were promoted to the Premier Division. Town’s policy of developing youngsters looks to be paying dividends as more trophies were forthcoming. Newcastle also won awards for Fair Play and their lack of dissent as they build a reputation of playing the game in the right manner with good football. The season saw Town struggle with injuries culminating with Manager Ivan Lodge suffering a stroke. Ivan decided to step down to concentrate on his recovery and at the end of the season his brother-in-law and former Norton and Witton Manager Scott Dundas was appointed with assistant Steve Chadwick to the role to take the Club forward. Castle had a strong season being in contention throughout for a play-off position but narrowly missed out on the last day of the season. Shortly afterwards Town were again searching for a manager after the surprise resignation of Scott Dundas.
Scott was replaced by Bob Askey but after a promising start with the club in a challenging position things went downwards and as Castle dropped down the table Bob was replaced by Robin Van Der Laan and Dave Dale. Things did not improve and Town saved themselves from relegation winning their final game at home to Belper Town. Changes came in the close season with former Chairman Paul Ratcliffe returning and the Club looking to improve on last season. New sponsors Red Industries have returned to the club and with the young players coming through Castle look to have a bright future. As the season went on Castle produced a mixed bag of results but having produced a series of good results against the top teams 2019-20 looks to be full of promise for the young side. Improved as the season went on pulling themselves away from the relegation area as new players arrived. Sadly the season was cut short due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Newcastle will be looking to continue the improvement this season as the young players mature. Late start, early finish was again the story of the 2020-21 season as another wave of the Coronavirus pandemic swept the country and a much improved season saw Castle sitting in third place with just one defeat as football was called to an end in November and the season nullified early in the new year. As the pandemic looks to being controlled the new season looks bright for the club. Let’s hope it’s third time lucky.
NEWCASTLE TOWN FC www.newcastletwonfc.co.uk
Owen MOONEY : (GOALKEEPER) Highly rated young keeper on loan from Wigan Athletic, who has stepped into men's football and has not looked out of place with stunning saves and fine performances, and also loves a penalty save. APPS : 25 GOALS : 0 Joe SLINN : (GOALKEEPER) Highly rated young keeper who has just returned from Mickleover for his second spell at the club having made a big impression in his last spell. Formally with Port Vale he will be looking to make a big name for himself and has a big future APPS : 8 GOALS : 0 Dom KURASIK : (GOALKEEPER) Signed last season from Kidsgrove Athletic and now entering his second season. His second time at Newcastle having spent a short period here on loan from Stoke City. Looking to develop into one of the top keepers in the League, his previous clubs include Brentford, and Colchester United. An Australian who spent a promotion winning season with Preston Lions in Oz APPS : 15 GOALS : 0 Luke DENNIS : (DEFENDER) Experienced defender who has been an ever-present this season for Castle and will today make his 150 appearance for the club providing of course the manager selects him. APPS : 152 GOALS : 1. James ASKEY : (DEFENDER) Vastly experienced defender and is also the Castle skipper, James is a no-nonsense centre half who likes to get forward and amongst the goals when he can. APPS : 379 GOALS : 36 Lewis JARMAN (DEFENDER) Lewis joined us in pre-season and has played in the middle of the park but most league appearances have come at full-back where he likes to get forward and into the mix, also has a good shot on him from range when he can get around the box. APPS : 23 GOALS : 1 Miles VARE (DEFENDER) Big Miles has joined us recently also from Cheadle Town and has slotted into the left back role int he last two games and will be looking to make this his own in the coming weeks and months, has the height to also slot in at CB if needed. APPS : 4 GOALS : 0
NEWCASTLE TOWN FC www.newcastletwonfc.co.uk
Lucas KIRNON : (DEFENDER) Young defender recently joined on Work Experience from Salford City. Equally at home as a full-back or central defender he made an impressive start on debut last week. APPS ; 2 GOALS : 0 Jack VAN DER LAAN : (MIDFIELD) Another ever-present this season for us and the club's current top goal scorer this season with 8 goals, and he does love a drive up the pitch and shot at goal, much like his and Tommy's dad, Robin, did back in his Vale playing days. APPS : 99 GOALS : 14 Tommy VAN DER LAAN (MIDFIELD) This season has seen Tommy follow in his brother's footsteps and get on the score sheet in games and from what is normally a deeper role on the pitch, Tommy is full-on and committed to the way he plays and gets involved in the game and reads the game superbly well. APPS : 67 GOALS : 5 Ethan VALE : (MIDFIELD) Do not allow Ethan to have the ball in a dead ball position anywhere around the edge of your box as he is deadly from set-pieces and also has a fantastic array of passes in his locker and can put the ball on a 10p piece if he needed to APPS : 55 GOALS 4 Will LLOYD : (MIDFIELD) Will has broken into the first team this season and when asked puts his full effort into his play and never looks out of place were ever asked to play. Will has come from the club's proven pathway of youth development and will be one to watch. APPS : 14 GOALS : 2 Joe BERKS : (MIDFIELD) Berksy is a threat in and around the box and is also comfortable playing a little deeper and like Ethan, if he is given the ball around the edge of the box the keeper best be on his toes as he can scorch them into the back of the net. APPS : 29 GOALS : 7 Luke WALSH (FORWARD) Luke joined us a few weeks back and has sadly only made one appearance so far before an injury-hit him, but will be looking to get going once back fit and in the squad. An ex Crewe Academy player and also of Nantwich Luke is comfortable with the ball and is a threat when going forward. APPS : 2 GOALS : 0
NEWCASTLE TOWN FC www.newcastletwonfc.co.uk
Nathan MORLEY : (FORWARD) Nat is a rapid forward who has got an eye for goal and will cause defences all sorts of issues with his pace and movement in and around the box, bagged a lovely hat trick away to Bootle earlier in the season. APPS : 61 GOALS : 7 Maxwell CHIMENES : (FORWARD) Max comes highly rated from Port Vale and he has a eye for goal and again is another one of the Castle front players who are comfortable playing anywhere across the front line. APPS : 33 GOALS : 6 Arek POCIASK (FORWARD) A young forward who recently joined the club from Glossop North End. Settling in well and making a name for himself with his movement and work rate. Dangerous in and around the box. APPS : 3 GOALS : 1 Jake LOVATT (FORWARD) Back at Newcastle following spells at Uttoxeter Town, Chasetown and Kidsgrove Athletic. Jake made his name scoring plenty of goals at youth level before stepping up to the first team where he continued to develop. Scored on his return to the club, A real danger in and around the box. APPS : 22 GOALS : 7
