It’s not often I’m lost for words but I was left speechless when I was called back up to receive this fantastic token from the lads at the club.
We all put the work in in different ways for the benefit of the club but thank you so much for this.
Support posts for goals reset and ready for goals to be attached, line markings going down as well, all will be done in time for tomorrow’s Charity game.

In honour of the poor 9 year old boy tragically struck by lightening yesterday while at football training and to show compassion, solidarity and support to his family, friends and coaches,I'm hoping you'll all follow me and and post nine footballs...🙏
All ready for the battle of the 2nds tonight, then it’s Sat 1st v Sun 1st tomorrow.
As always many thanks to Gaz

Many thanks to
@KenyonSportMgmt

On Saturday I tweeted in our match report that
@joe_gregson
second goal Foundry was a cross, it clearly wasn’t and I’m happy to correct that, it was a great finish mate 👍🏻
Games, yet again, getting called off on grass pitches everywhere, but in Skelmersdale a £450k 3g pitch has lay unused since July 31st 2016, not one game has been played on it since the closure of Glenburn.
Today we have lost a great.
His commitment to local Amateur Football in and around the Wigan was second to none.
He was a friend, a confidant and a mentor over the 35 years Ive known him as im sure he was to others.
An absolute giant of a man who we all will miss.
RIP Dave

It just wasn't to be in the Laithwaite Shield Final yesterday, at 2 down we came into the game just a little too late, maybe 5 or 10 mins longer and we could have grabbed the equaliser

Another great performance from the lads but a point each probably fair in a very strong but well contested game.

The least the lads efforts over the season deserve.
And after all today’s discussions it has now been confirmed that we have a complete wipeout this weekend.
All 3 fixtures are off.
We could all go and sit at Glenburn and stare at the 3G thinking what if!
Work has started on the fencing around the pitch
@DelphSide
today, we will see lots of changes over the weeks building up to the start of the new season.
The Club are delighted to announce that from next season all of our teams home games will be played at our new ground which will be

So sorry to hear of the passing of a real football man in Taffy Roberts.
Our thoughts are with Gareth and all the family, his friends and all at Ashton Athletic at this sad time.
RIP Taffy
After tonight’s hospital visit to see
@digmoor_no4

This however was the last ever game for an
@digmoorfc
side
Tomorrow we will announce the future plans
I thank EVERYBODY who has been involved with the Club over the last 19 years because without all who have been involved we would never have reached this point
It's not the end
So as we prepare to leave the Isle of Man after our 5th visit we must thank
@GovernorsAFC
for playing us once again, as always a great game against a great set of lads.
We come away to enjoy a weekend away with a game of footy thrown in and as always it didn't disappoint. T
The lads
