🔴⚫️ Under New Management 🔴⚫️
Last week we were dealt a blow that both Ross Speight & Michael Welch would be stepping down as First Team manager.
We’re delight that last years reserve managers Chris Thomas & Pete Hughes & coach Ant Young will be taking over first team duties.
⚠️NEW RESERVE MANAGERS⚠️
We would like to welcome former Winsford Saxons managers Chris Thomas and Pete Hughes to the club for the upcoming season. After 4 successful years winning 7 trophies we are excited to welcome the duo
This morning the club were made aware of the extremely sad passing of Pauline. She has been a massive part of the club throughout her many years at the club. It is a huge loss to us all and our thoughts are with friends and family.
Tonight we’ve been awarded the
@CheshireFL
Club of the Year for the 2017/18 season. Thanks to all the people behind the scenes who volunteer their free time without whom the club couldn’t run as efficiently or successfully as it does 🔴⚫️

Both joined the club in 2019 & took over the first team in 2021 after previously going a season unbeaten with the reserves and winning the league.
