Most of our younger players grew up with Will. The rest of us have had the privilege of playing with him the last 4 years. Will was a great guy to be around, he was funny, passionate, and some laugh he had on him.
Honestly, what a man.
2nd game was Will's memorial game up at Roach. We'd like to thank Roach Dynamos and Tyler Smith for arranging it and inviting us to be part of it. Roach came out on top. We won the penalty shoot out. All in all, a great show Will would've enjoyed.

Yes. It's 4 in 4 for Cam. Chubbiest Bagsmon in the division.
🚨 BLACK FRIDAY DEAL 🚨
You can get your hands on some Karate lessons with midfield maestro Paul from as little as a tenner a session. He's a black belt in shitting out of headers.
Pints tastes better after a win. Mayfield 2 Milburn 5. Bloody hell we were good. Battled from the first whistle, and guess what, we didn't concede from a corner. Bingo anyone?
Two games today. We started with a game against
@TottyRobinsFC
. They beat us. 6-4? 7-4? 7-5? Who knows to be honest. Great group of lads, who gave us a memorable gift that will be put up in The Woolpack.
Thanks to
@gws_coaching
for arranging the fixture and to his players for paying to respect to Will before kick off.
Great game. Finished 4-3 to the hounds. Lungs were working overtime. We'll blame fatigue on lil jake missing them sitters.
Milburn 2 East Lancs nowt. Clean sheet for the burn, 3pts feels good, especially ahead of a day in the boyzer. Goals from Jake G and Arron.
MOTM - Jake G
DOTD -Dan Hayward
In the woolpack for some spag bol if anyone fancies
Incredible scenes as Milburn score a last minute equaliser after coming from 6-3 down against Oxford! Unbelievable effort from
@mclennan1993
(3goals, 3 assists and MOTM) and amity (2goals) and then last kick of the game equaliser from
@jakemoody2010
!
Milburn win. Bloody hell it was good. 3-1 against GTAS. Really tough game on a massive pitch. But the boys grafted hard, scored some good goals and got outta there with 3 points. Boozer awaits.
7-4 to Holcombe. Minging game on a swamp. Defo didn't deserve to win, but Mitch scored a nice hattrick (couldve passed to Cam for 2 though) and Dan Hayward added to his tally. No bingo this week, hypothermia instead.
Milburn 5 AFC Swan 2nds 2. Milburn stroll through to the next round of the cup. Goals from Jake, Doug x2, Cam and Fab. Top performance from the boys. Unreal all over the pitch. Forza Milburn.
Bury North 2 Milburn 3. Dunno what's a bigger surprise, us scoring from a set piece or Cam's top still fit him, just.

The boys put up a hell of a fight against a team two divisions above us. Knocked out the cup, lost 6-4 after being 4-3 up.

We've kept pre season quiet, mainly cos we didn't wanna scare everyone with our form and get moved up the divisions. Honest, that's the reason, not being embarrassed by some of the scores. Definitely not that.
Goals:
Dan Wright x1 (boring init scoring all the time)
Cayden x1 his first for the club
Fabio x1 first appearance of the season for the OG and he's back with a goal. Oi
@AldiUK
can he have Sundays off?
Milburn FC's incredible cup run continues. Into the 3rd round after beating Totty Robins 8-3.

x2, Amity x1, and an OG.
Class performance from the boys.
Milburn 3 Made in Bury 3. Fought back to equalise late on. Nearly won it with a great free kick right at the end. Bank Holiday weekend, didn't lose, no work tomorrow, think we know what's gonna happen. Stay safe x
Absolutely fantastic to be back out there in Arctic conditions. The boys lost 3-0. Wasn't fun. The boys had plans for Dry Jan, they've crumbled at the site of the woolpack bar. Enjoy your sunday
The boys have lost 2-0 against top of the league wardleworth. A hard fought game, in which we probably had the better chances, but cam couldn't convert the useless bastard.
Man of the match went to Dec G and Dan H
Dick of the day was Cam Cousin.
Only one thing left to do
Milburn 1 Empire 0. First ever clean sheet. Hard fought win. The defenders were mega today. Up the bloody burn. Goal from OG Paul. This strongbow tastes extra sweet, no kokos tonight though.
Back to back baby. 5-1 win against Radcliffe Warriors. Game was saved by a magical referee who appeared out of nowhere after ours didn't show.
Half our team kicked off with kids who just got they're A levels. Amity got rattled so much he got sent off.
You mightve guessed by the lack of tweets we lost today. If you did, you'd be right. Lost 6-2 to Cobras. No interviews this week cos the gaffer was nearly in tears.

Milburn preseason training will start on Sunday 12th June. It'll be nowt like this. Anyone who can do 10 kick ups and neck a pint is welcome. Message us if you fancy it
Whos idea was picking positions out a hat?
We lost. But, we had fun.
Goalkeeper
@Morrissey2398
bagged a goal David silva would be proud of. Then Harry got his first ever goal with a 30 yard chip.
Think it was 9 2 but other than them, who really cares
4-3 defeat for the boys. Frustrating but its sausage and chips in the boozer.
MOTM was hattrick hero
@mitchell8383
DOTD was
@willplace2000
. Subbed himself on and missed an sitter
From zero to hero. Will left the group chat over 6 months ago, but when Adam got injured yesterday he was happy to get between the sticks and be part of our historical point.
