“We’d like to congratulate everybody that was nominated, especially Roy Wood and Aspull Wrestling Club who carried off the “Club of the Year” award.
Stockport Sports – the Saxons have recruited a team of Junior Football Ambassadors, who will act as ball boys and ball girls on match days.
Community Development Officer Russell Hoyte said: “The introduction of the Junior Football Ambassadors will give the children the opportunity to play an essential part in the match day team.
“Not only will they act as ball boys and ball girls, hey will be given the full match day experience with the players and club officials. The new recruits have been selected from the recently FA commended Manchester Junior Respect Football League, which has recently located their under 9s year group at the Stockport Sports Village on Saturday mornings”.
Winsford United – the Blues have received FA approval to move the proposed date of any replay required in their FA Vase Second Round tie against Morpeth Town from the Northern League.
At this stage of the competition, any replays needed after the Saturday games end in draws would normally be scheduled for midweek, but as Winsford Secretary Bob Astles observed: “The two clubs couldn’t be much further apart in the Northern Section of the draw, and we were facing the possibility of a midweek replay in the event of a draw, which would mean a 200-mile journey through the rush hour traffic on the M62 and M1.
“We made an appeal to the FA, and they have agreed that if a replay is needed, it will take place on the following Saturday”.
