Our last preseason game against
@KirkoswaldFC
was abandoned after the hour mark!
Shame as some good football played from our younger players before things turned into a royal rumble.
All the best to
@KirkoswaldFC
for the season! Let hope we don’t meet in a cup 🙈🙈
We at Kirkby Stephen fc always forgive, and it’s nice to welcome back

Our very own

Matt just said “ Won’t let it get to my head, it’s a first round win, we will take that form into the next round” 🧡
Winner of Group H - Matt Branthwaite
It is group of the day without any doubt. 649 votes could hardly split the top two.
Edmondson led with just 10 minutes left but 50 votes in the last 10 minutes nearly all for Branthwaite see a remarkable turnaround!!
Big day for the club and especially

He woke up rough, and I’d expect nothing less on semi final day

We would like to thank the hospital staff currently looking after Charlie & wish him the speediest recovery
Get well soon Chaz 🔴⚪️
The fallout today from yesterday’s game is understandable! But let’s all keep things respectable, everyone entitled to opinions, fitness cost us, and one man changed the game for Appleby. Too many keyboard warriors. Let’s not take anything away from what was an unbelievable game!
Tonight out newly formed reserves welcome

Appleby turned up hungry and unlucky not to get anything.
By far the better team in the second half but we hold for a brilliant 3 points.

Also last night it was great to see a young ref take command of the game the way he did. We’ve had him a few times this season and he’s been brilliant throughout. Could teach a few of the older ones on how to control a game. Brilliant

Goalscorer was Dan Owen with all 4.
We lose out in a high scoring match to an excellent young Kirkby team. More minutes in the bank for the lads and we showed a bit of fight late on to close the scoreline.
Superb battle today against a team which did not give up.
Couldn’t get going through parts of the game but have to give credit where it is due to Keswick.
Still unbeaten and in a superb position with 5 in hand.
Great advert for grassroots.
