Staveley Boss Fox Rings The Changes And Keeps Pressure On
Monday 20th February 2012 Staveley MWFC hosted Nostell MWFC at Inkersall Rd and were looking to get back into their recent excellent run of form in the league that has seen them, prior to this game, taking 16 points from the last possible 18 and keep them in the mix of those clubs chasing title favourites Bridlington Town and current leaders Retford Utd at the top of the NCEL Premiership.
Manager Billy Fox rang the changes trying to avoid the "after the Lord Mayor's Parade" syndrome, giving Andrew Fox a rest and time to recover from his injury and dropping Ryan Damms and Jordan Eagers down to the bench with David Cockerill, Ian Clarke and Ben Ferguson starting in the opening 11.

Thornton's Double Delight As Staveley Reach Quarter Finals
Thursday 16th February 2012 FA Vase 5th Round, Staveley MWFC 2-0 Oadby Town. A Joe Thornton double moved Staveley into the Quarter Finals of the FA Vase where they will face either St Ives Town of Cambridgeshire, or fellow Derbyshire club Gresley FC.
Thornton struck in either half to damage the Leicestershire sides hopes of progressing.
Staveley made four changes to the side which defeated Teversal in the NCELP Cup, with Kyle Fores-Chambers, Chris Fawcus, Joe Thornton and ... READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC's Inaugural Charity Dinner Raises Thousands
Wednesday 15th February 2012 Staveley Miners Welfare FC raised over £3,000 at their first-ever sporting dinner, which was held in the clubhouse at the Inkersall Road ground last week.
The event, which featured former Nottingham Forest star Kenny Burns as speaker and comedy from Billy Flywheel, was a sell-out with over 100 people attending.
"The dinner was a huge success and we hope it is the first of many," said Staveley Chairman Terry Damms. "The funds raised will help pay for the development of our ground. Plans are in place for a new 250-seater south stand..." READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC FA Vase Tie Against Oadby Town Is OFF
Saturday 11th February 2012 Referee Tom Bramhall inspected the Inkersall pitch at 4:30pm Friday and confirmed the pitch, as expected, is not playable and is dangerous. As a result the game has been postponed.
The forecast is then for the temperature to rise on Monday to +7, Tuesday +6 and Wednesday +8, with no overnight sub zero temperatures. therefore hopefully rendering the pitch playable for the game to be played on Wednesday night's (February 15th).
Staveley MWFC Through To Quarter Finals Of NCEL Cup
Monday 6th February 2012 Teversal FC put up a spirited performance and ran Staveley MWFC close in the last 16 of the NCEL Cup on a skating ring of a pitch that started off playable and finished just about playable as the temperatures plummeted through the 90-minutes.
New signing Ian Clarke making the move from Rainworth MWFC was in the starting line up as manager Billy Fox opted for a 3-5-2 formation.
Staveley could well have been down to 10-men within minutes of the start, Ashley Foyle slipping on the frosty surface taking a ball from Tom Jones allowed lightening quick Danny Wilson to nick the ball, the Staveley defender, who has just returned from a long injurylay-off, was judged to have fouled him and received a yellow card for his troubles.

Staveley MWFC Junior Results For 29th January
Wednesday 1st February 2012 Staveley MWFC's Under 15's lost to Nether Green 5-3. Wade Harris knocked in 2 goals with Marcus Gregory with 1. Man of the match was Zac Collins.
Staveley's Under 14's won 1- 0 over Dodworth, goal scored by George Hilditch.
Staveley's Under 13's faced Rawmarsh at home, and went up early with a goal from Ben Edgson. The game then turned in Rawmarsh's favour, with them netting 3 goals. Ben Edgson scored again in the second half, but it wasn't enough to prevent the 3-2 defeat. Man of the match went to Jack Matthews. READ MORE...
Four Wins On The Bounce For Staveley
Wednesday 18th January 2012 On a thoroughly horrid playing surface and a game which in all probability should not have been played, Staveley MWFC made it 4 wins on the bounce, in a run where they have scored 11-goals and conceded just 1, with 18 points from the last 21 available - it was a very convincing 2-0 victory against Selby Town FC.
Throughout the 90-minutes Selby struggled to break down Staveley, whereas the visitors continually opened up the home defence, especially in the second half, where it was a totally one sided affair, 2-0 not reflecting the dominance that Staveley held throughout the game. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC To Hold Inaugural Sporting Dinner
Tuesday 17th January 2012 Former Nottingham Forest and Scotland hard man Kenny Burns will be the guest speaker at the first-ever sporting dinner hosted by Staveley MWFC, on Monday, February 6 (7pm for 7.30pm start).
Burns will recount some amusing anecdotes from his playing career, during which he won an array of domestic and European honours at Forest under legendary Manager, Brian Clough.
Entertainment will be provided by zany comedy-magician Billy Flywheel with Sky Sports reporter, Nick Johnson acting as MC. READ MORE...
Win for Staveley MWFC Over Lincoln Moorlands
Tuesday 17th January 2012 Staveley MWFC did what they had to do against a Lincoln Moorlands side who for 45-minutes were stubborn opponents until the second half when they looked a well beaten side, losing 3-0 and, to be fair, it could and should have been a greater margin.
Ed Eley went in goal to make his debut - with really just the one early save to make - and Luke Forgoine made up the back 3 with a 5-2 formation in front of them.
Staveley opened up well, a ball over the left from Jordan Eagers found Joe Thornton, but his cross was well cleared by Lincoln... READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Junior Results For 8th January
Monday 16th January 2012 Staveley MWFC's Under 16's were away at Sheffield Wednesday Young Owls. Brad Smith got the all important goal to win a very tight game, 1-0. Man of the match was Tom Young
Staveley's Under 15's entertained Ecclesall Rangers at home, winning the game 3-1. Goals scored by Josh Wileman (2) and Alex Fox. Man of the match went to Che Anderson.
Staveley's under 14's were away at SUJB, and won the game 1-0. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Back To Winning Ways
Wednesday 4th January 2012 Long Eaton Utd arrived at Inkersall Road with 2 straight away wins and 2 clean sheets, with a 14 points tally from 8-games away from home, scoring in every game and 12-goals thus far but also conceding just 10-goals in those 8-away games.
Long Eaton left Inkersall Road well beaten 4-0 and although questions asked about Staveley MWFC's inconsistency still remain, perhaps the smallest of answers has been offered up by the Staveley players whose work rate was excellent.
In goal was Michael Dewberry, otherwise it was the same line up... READ MORE...
Staveley Edged Out Of NCEL Presidents Cup By Tadcaster
Wednesday 21st December 2011 In what must have been one of the most exciting and enjoyable games this season, Staveley MWFC were edged out in the quarter finals of the NCEL Presidents Cup by 4-3 at Tadcaster Albion FC.
Staveley had endured some problems even mustering a bare dozen players together. Richard Patterson travelled but was unwell on the night, leaving just young Adam Houghton on the bench. With 3 first team players unavailable, their named replacements and several reserve team players issued late notice of their unavailability to travel, which is very disappointing and placed extreme, unnecessary pressure on those 12... READ MORE...
Staveley Dig Deep For Victory
Thursday 15th December 2011 Staveley MWFC dug in deep in the second half at Thackley to protect the superiority they held in the first half, coming away with a 2-1 victory where they just about edged it over a very good Thackley side - who should be credited on their efforts - as should their ground staff on getting the game on at all!
After just 3 minutes Thackley central defender Rob Morgan badly twisted his knee in a 50/50 challenge with Chris Coy, with no blame whatsoever on the Staveley striker. He was stretchered off and an ambulance was called and the unfortunate lad is still in hospital today with badly torn knee ligaments and everyone no doubt wishes him a speedy recovery. READ MORE...
Staveley Safely Through
Monday 5th December 2011 Squires Gate FC, were disposed of with ease by Staveley MWFC, who cruised into the last 32 of the FA Vase for the second year running with a superb team performance, the 4-0 margin reflected the difference in the two sides.
Staveley, doing what they had been heavily criticised for not doing in recent weeks, worked so hard for this victory and Billy Fox's pre-match rollicking obviously paid dividends.
A string of fantastic flowing moves was, given the state of the pitch... READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Junior Results For 27th November
Tuesday 29th November 2011 Staveley's Under 16's were away to Bramley Sunnyside and lost their 100% winning record, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw. Jack knight was on target for Staveley and man of the match award went to Conor Fields.
SMWFC Under 15's won 2-0 at home to Hoyland Common Falcons. Staveley went up 1-0 with a superb goal from Marcus Gregory. The second superb goal to hit the back of the net was from Wade Harris. Wade had an all round outstanding performance, with him been awarded the man of the match.
SMWFC Under 14's were away at Redferns, winning the game 1-0, with George Hilditch scoring the games only goal. READ MORE...
Jaded Staveley Scrape Point
Monday 28th November 2011 Staveley 0-0 Brighouse Town - Manager Billy Fox lamented his jaded side as they got out of jail against a lively Brighouse team. Staveley, who had just won four on the bounce have battled against some top sides in recent weeks, and after three tough away trips, the efforts of the players were evident in a lacklustre display.
A frustrated Fox said "We looked jaded. We've had a long trip to Liverpool and Scarborough midweek, Brighouse we're energetic, we hardly had a shot and the players put a lot of effort into the previous games, but tonight was different and we're fortunate for a point". READ MORE...
Staveley Through To Last 64 Of FA Vase Trophy
Tuesday 22nd November 2011 Staveley MWFC made the long trek across country to Wallasey in Merseyside to face West Cheshire Division 1 league leaders Ashville FC in the 2nd round of the FA Vase and 128 clubs were looking to get into the last 64 and Monday's draw.
A club who won division 2 last season and have started really well in their attempts to be considered for North West Counties football next season, Ashville were full of enthusiasm for the tie.
Following Tuesday night's game at Scarborough, Staveley had some severe injury problems with centre backs Tom Jones and Ashley Foyle both injured and Aymen Tahar a late sickness absenteeism. So, a squad of just 15 made the trip with U19 players Adam Houghton and Nathan Linacre in the squad. READ MORE...
Looking To The Next Game
Thursday 13th October 2011 We have moved on after last week's disappointment in the FA Cup with a 3-0 defeat against highflying Hyde FC from the Blue Square North.
After the match, the video recording showed the goals conceded were 'scruffy' with missed opportunities to clear the ball, men losing their markers, a double deflection and a loose ball finding the opposing player unmarked.
The first half revealed that on attempts at goal, the sides were even but, when the second goal went in just 3 minutes into the second half, it was game over. READ MORE...
Staveley Pick Up Point Against Retford
Thursday 29th September 2011
Staveley MWFC were held to a 1-1 draw but the score line does not reflect the true story of a game that was played for 77-minutes in a 10 versus 11 form after Staveley MWFC had captain Tom Jones harshly sent off after 13 minutes.
That decision, amongst others, ruined the 90-minutes although the poor performances of certain parties should not detract away from the huge effort put in by the Staveley players where on balance of the remaining 80 per cent of the game, Staveley looked surprisingly the more likely to take the 3-points. READ MORE...
All Square For Staveley
Tuesday 20th September 2011
If ever 90-minutes of football fitted the old adage of "a game of two halves" - then this FA Cup Tie did.
In the first period, and really from the kick off, Staveley were thoroughly ragged at times through a great deal of self induced complacency that probably should have produced a score line that would have looked more apt on the Pickering Cricket Scoreboard.
Staveley had a first 45 minutes that they will simply want to forget. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Make Best Ever NCEL Start
Tuesday 13th September 2011 Staveley made it 5 league wins from 5 league starts beating Hall Road Rangers 2-0 and manager Billy Fox can add that record to the ever increasing club records that have been broken during his short tenure of Staveley's managerial post since his appointment in October 2009.
With 10-games played this season and 9 wins and 1 draw and a varying starting line up and team selection, this reflects the strength of squad Foxy has assembled at Inkersall Road this term. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Progress In FA Cup
Monday 12th September 2011 Staveley MWFC made it through the Preliminary Round Replay of the FA Cup with a 3-1 fully deserved victory against Evostick South side Goole AFC at Inkersall Road last Tuesday night.
Again with 6 first team regular starters from last season's Championship team out through injury and suspensions the starting line up and a 4-4-2 formation would surely have to be tested much more rigorously than it was the previous Saturday when Staveley dominated the proceedings. READ MORE...
FA Cup Replay Stretches Staveley To The Limit
Monday 5th September 2011 An 87th minute equaliser for Goole AFC saved their blushes and earned them a replay at Staveley MWFC on Tuesday night as both sides will look to progress to the next round of the FA Cup.
Struggling with injuries and suspensions, Staveley started with Simon Barraclough up top, Michael Staley at left back and Gavin Smith alongside Tom Jones. Chris Coy went out left and Luke Fletcher started again in the middle of the park.
In a game that Staveley will look back and regret not converting their superiority, the two styles of play were chalk and cheese. READ MORE...
Staveley Make It 7 Wins Out Of 7
Wednesday 31st August 2011 Staveley MWFC made it 7 wins from 4 league and 3 cup games in a 23 day period and went 2 points clear at the top of the NCEL Premiership with a narrow 1-0 victory over Maltby Main.
With 2 games in 3 days, often results don't go to plan or as smoothly as the form book may suggest with tired limbs and changes in team selection. This time only 14 fit players were able to be mustered for the Maltby game with no fewer than 7 changes from the starting line up on Saturday including new signing Luke Fletcher from Parkgate FC. READ MORE...
Foxy Sets New Club Record
Thursday 25th August 2011 Staveley MWFC Manager Billy Fox has spearheaded a new Record for the club.
On 21st August 2010, Staveley MWFC lost a NCEL home game against Askern Villa and now, over a year later, remain undefeated at home in the league. Never before have Staveley MWFC held an undefeated home league record for over a year and this is also the best ever home league undefeated run of games that they have ever held in the NCEL.
Congratulations to Billy, Nigel and all of the lads who've helped to achieve that record.
Staveley Through In FA Cup battle
Tuesday 23rd August 2011 Staveley MWFC made the next round of the FA Cup with a 4-0 score line that probably flattered them against Winterton Rangers in a game full of incidents.
Andrew Fox came in for Simon Barraclough and Michael Staley continued at centre half alongside Tom Jones with Ashley Foyle injured and Ian Deakin replaced Ayden Duffy in goal.
For the second week running, Winterton felt harshly done by with a penalty that they hotly disputed and then in the second half they were reduced to 10 men on 54 minutes. From that point, Winterton lost heart as Staveley punished them rolling the ball around with ease. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC Make It 3 Out Of 3
Wednesday 17th August 2011 Staveley MWFC got their second league victory in a week with a 2-1 victory against Winterton Rangers who last season finished 5th and no doubt had good reason to be looking to once again to raise a challenge for the title.
As for Staveley, it's all new and fresh challenges with different teams and different ways of playing, but to date Staveley have shown they can change quickly to such variances from last seasons division 1 and to what the Premiership holds for them his season. READ MORE...
Away 3 Points And Clean Sheet In NCEL Premiership Opener
Tuesday 9th August 2011 Staveley MWFC opened up their NCEL Premiership campaign with a deserved 1-0 victory at Brighouse Town FC.
Just before kick-off a 15 minute torrential downpour made the surface perfect and a real good opportunity for both sides to pass the ball around. A typical open day encounter with both sides looking for a fresh start and the early endeavour from the two teams brought about a good opening for the on looking crowd of 110. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC v Chesterfield Friendly Match Report
Monday 25th July 2011 Northern Counties East Division One Champions, Staveley MWFC, played League Two Champions, Chesterfield, at Inkersall Road last Wednesday 20th July.
With the Spireites expected to name a fairly strong squad, the crowd was expected to be towards the 1,000 mark. The added attraction of 2010 World Cup final and Premiership referee, Howard Webb, to officiate the match, again, would add people to the door. READ MORE...
"We Don't Want To Take The Passion Out Of Football"
Monday 25th July 2011 Howard Webb MBE was the referee chosen to officiate at the World cup final in South Africa.
On Wednesday night though he was in more local surroundings when he refereed the friendly between Staveley MWFC and Chesterfield. Though much in demand from fans after the game (which ended in a win for the visitors) he managed to find time for a few words with The Chesterfield Post.
So-his verdict on the game first of all? "It was an entertaining match - not much for me to do - a game like tonight you can concentrate on the football." READ MORE...
NCEL Announce New Sponsor
Monday 20th June 2011 A local company has just been announced as the sponsor of The Northern Counties East Football League.

Staveley's Final Flourish
Friday 29th April 2011 Staveley MWFC brought the curtain down on their season with a 4-1 victory against a young Teversal side who put up a spirited performance.
It was Staveley's 55th game of the season and it has proven to be a very long season for these players who have shown a tremendous spirit and they fully deserve their accolade.
Sent out to try and entertain with a 3-5-2 formation, some of the football put up by Staveley was very pleasing on the eye but this did give Teversal opportunities to break and create chances. In the first half Staveley rocked their opponents with 3 goals inside 31 minutes. READ MORE...
Staveley Out Of Cup
Thursday 7th April 2011 Staveley MWFC went out of the NCEL Quarter Finals on penalties by 5-4 after 120 minutes of football that was not for the football purists.
Handsworth were reduced to 10 men ater 60-minutes when Captain Adam Fretwell was sent off, followed shortly by the Handsworth manager being shown a red card as the referee made 7 cautions, 5 from Handswoth and 2 from Staveley in a disappointing game of football. READ MORE...
New Stand For Staveley MWFC
Monday 4th April 2011 Staveley MWFC unveiled plans at Saturday’s game for the building of an all seater south stand at Inkersall Road. The plans are being submitted to the local Council for planning permission this week and it's hoped the necessary approval will be secured sometime in June allowing building work to commence and be completed in time for the new 2011-2012 season starting in earnest in August 2011.
The design of the scheme will allow the viewing of the games not to be interupted by the pitch side dug outs and will hopefully house a minimum of 230 new seats taking the seating capacity at Inkersall Road to 450 altogether with covered standing spectator areas of over 500 also. Disabled wheelchair access has been catered for within the design of the new stand. The design drawings will be on display in the clubhouse and it is hoped that any suggestions from our supporters on any idea to compliment or make the new stand more spectator friendly may be put forward.
"We Are The Champions"
Sunday 3rd April 2011 Staveley MWFC are Champions Of NCEL Division 1 for the very first time in the clubs history. Staveley have not just won the title but have done so in style with club records seemingly being smashed for fun as this talented young bunch of players have gone from strength to strength.
The clubs previous best ever undefeated league run of 20 games has now been equalled, spanning a breathtaking 167 days since the last league defeat in October. Never before has a Staveley MWFC player ever reached 100 goals but now that record has also been broken by Ryan Damms who scored his 35th and 36th goal of the season, his second goal being his 100th goal for the club... READ MORE...
Staveley Extend Their Cup Run
Friday 1st April 2011
Staveley MWFC went through to the quarter-finals of the NCEL Cup with a convincing 2-0 victory away at Barton Town OB FC where they will now play Handsworth FC.
Over the whole 90 minutes it was hard to imagine a more one sided 2-0 victory of contrasting styles. Barton Town,with lingering hopes of promotion rang the changes, as did Staveley with Kyle Fores-Chambers, Jordan Eagers and Tom Jones all unavailable and a couple of players not 100% fit or well. This left spaces for Callum Westney, Todd Jordan and Lee Hill. READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC 'Demolish' Appleby Frodingham 1-5
Friday 25th March 2011 Staveley MWFC's unrelenting push for promotion continued with force with a 5 - 1 demolition of Appleby Frodingham FC.
"Frod" were no match for Staveley, whose first half performance once again was of the highest quality.
As early as the 4th minute, Staveley took command when a free kick from Aymen Tahar from the left to the far post found Ashley Foyle, his header was well saved by the Appleby keeper but the rebound was seized upon by Andrew Fox to give the visitors a 1-0 lead. Not the best start and for the third 45 minute session, Staveley had scored in the opening 3 minutes - but would the flood gates open? READ MORE...
Staveley MWFC - A Club On The Up
Monday 21st March 2011 Back in 2007, Staveley Miners Welfare Football Club faced extinction, their football club committee had resigned en masse due to retirement and just pure time issues.
The club itself is actually still owned by the Miners Welfare Committee and they were not actively seeking new buyers, but when Terry Damms, a Sheffield born businessman with an 85% shareholder in a Nottinghamshire based company called Baris Fabrications, heard on the non league grapevine that Staveley were in trouble, he made the call to the committee to see if he could help. As a result, we see a Staveley side that are top of the NCEL Division One... READ MORE...
Staveley Continue Their Promotion Push
Monday 21st March 2011 Staveley MWFC continued their promotion push with another 3 points in a tight game against Hemsworth MWFC who twice went behind early in each half and must be given huge credit to sticking to their tasks.
As with any football game, "No-one will let you win" rightly quoted by long standing Staveley supporter Graham Kingham and today that point was evidently made.
Staveley opened the scoring after 3 minutes with an audacious back heel from Ryan Damms. READ MORE...
Every Kick Helps
Wednesday 16th March 2011

A game between the Tesco side and ex-professionals, hopefully to include ex England Internationals will be played on Sunday 10th April between 2pm and 5:30pm.

Staveley MWFC's sponsors Baris Facades & Linings Ltd are to kick start the Charity drive with a donation of £250. We hope the local community and supporters of Staveley MWFC will attend and support the scheduled game.
Staveley Show Their Class
Tuesday15th March 2011 Staveley MWFC recorded their biggest away win in the clubs NCEL history with a 8-0 thrashing of Bottesford Town FC, recording their highest points tally in any one season and for good measure equalling the record number of league clean sheets with their 11th of the season.
A week before Bottesford had showed a spirited performance and run Staveley close. A week later and a pre-match individual player assessment in the open dressing room headed by Billy Fox included criticism of himself and others and demanded a more positive attitude and he obviously sent Staveley out with something to prove as a team and looking for improvement in individual performances. READ MORE...
Staveley Out Of Cup
Wednesday 9th March 2011 Staveley MWFC went out of the S & H Cup to Parkgate FC by 3-1 in what proved to be a game with little between the sides but, as always, it is about putting the ball in the back of the net and stopping your opponents doing the same.
Staveley last night arguably created the clearer cut chances but Parkgate were seemingly slightly more passionate and physical about their efforts. Staveley did though, match their opponents for large parts of the game, starting like a house on fire and given an indication of the desire of Parkgate when their captain up-ended Chris Fawcus at left back receiving a caution for the reckless tackle in the very first minute. READ MORE...
Staveley Make It 32 Points From 36 And 7 Home Wins
Tuesday 8th March 2011 Staveley MWFC made it 32 points from the last 36 points and 7 wins on the bounce at home with a 1-0 victory fought out against a spirited Bottesford Town side who gave the league leaders a battle in front of another very pleasing attendance of 102.
The side are lining up and grinding results out and the record book will show yet another victory at home since the last defeat way back in August last year and now takes the unbeaten league run to 130 days. Sides are coming to Inkersall Road to battle all the way and set themselves up not to be beaten... READ MORE...
Yorkshire Amateurs 2 - 2 Staveley MWFC. Match Report
Wednesday 2nd March 2011 Yorkshire Amateurs push for promotion seemed to necessitate that the 3 points be taken against Staveley MWFC and the loss of another 2 points by the Ammers is giving the chasing pack hope that this season’s surprise promotion hopefuls are beginning to fail.
The home side could have taken the lead in the very first minute, a cross from the left caused the danger when Scott Dinnigan pulled off a great stop and then Chris Fawcus cleared the ball off the line. Staveley then threatened when Jordan Eagers corner caused hesitation in the home penalty area. READ MORE...

Staveley Push On
Friday 18th February 2011 Staveley MWFC pushed further ahead at the top of the NCEL Division 1 with a 1-0 victory against AFC Emley, courtesy of a brilliant strike from Chris Fawcus on 68 minutes.
Emley, spurred on with the news that Darren Hepworth had been given the Manager's post on a full time basis, were looking to get the new regime off to a flying start, but the new Manager's proud night was to be marred by his getting dismissed from the dug out for a colourful rant at the referee who managed on the night to issue 7 cautions and a red as well as the dismissal of the home manager! READ MORE...
Lucky Number 7 For Staveley
Friday 11th February 2011 Staveley MWFC made it 7 league wins from 7 beating AFC Emley 2-0 at Inkersall Road with 2 goals from the impressive Joe Thornton, one being a thunderous free kick from 30 yards.
Staveley welcomed back Judd Colley, now reinstated as Emley captain and last season's U19 prospect Teo Ringrose had impressed to give him a different role up top alongside Emley favourite Steve Kenworthy. Emley started the better in the opening 10 minutes, full of running and enterprise they created two decent chances but Scott Dinnigan did well in the Staveley goal to deny Emley opening the scoring. READ MORE...
Staveley Lead The Pack After 3-0 Win
Sunday 6th February 2011 Staveley MWFC increased their lead at the top of the NCEL to 4 points with two games in hand, also maintaining an 11-point gap between the 3rd placed club with a convincing 3-0 victory against a hard working and well organised Eccleshill Utd side.
Overnight rain had made the pitch really heavy, but the referee was content that the playing surface was playable and through the 90-minutes, that decision was proven to be the correct one, although groundsman Vaughan Ransom will have his work cut out to try and get the pitch ready for football again in midweek. READ MORE...
A Test Of Character
Thursday 27th January 2011 Staveley MWFC faced a few questions about their character after the weekend's disappointments when Glasshoughton Welfare came to Inkersall Road.
At the end of the 90 minutes, the questions were answered with a high degree of professionalism with a first half in which a 30-minute spell decided the game.
Staveley played Jordan Eagers at right back in place of Kyle Fores Chambers who was rested due to an injury and Joe Thornton was given a run out on the left with Chris Coy switching to the right in place of Jamie Smith who was on the bench as manager Billy Fox employed the full depth of the squad. READ MORE...
Staveley Grind Out A 2-1 Victory Against Leeds Met
Thursday 20th January 2011 Staveley MWFC had one hell of a fight to put 3 more points on the board against Leeds Met Carnegie with a 2-1 victory.
It was Staveley's 3rd game in just 120 hours and not surprisingly there were some tired legs after the huge effort from the lads that had seen them put some daylight between them at the top of NCEL Division 1 and the chasing pack looking for promotion.
Leeds dominated the game in 2/3rds of the pitch for large spells of the second half, but all too often they came up against a Staveley back line that defended so well. READ MORE...
