All of our senior teams are on their travels this weekend, so no live senior football at the Parker Roofing Memorial Ground for once, however not too far to travel as they all take on local opposition. The First team travel to Golcar United for a local derby on Saturday with a 3pm Kick Off on the outskirts of Huddersfield in the NCEL Premier Division. There was a pitch inspection at 11.30am, and the game goes ahead as planned. See you all there. The Reserves are also involv

Penistone Church Ladies Blacks were back in action this week as we travelled over to Rotherham to face our hosts Rawmarsh St Josephs. Both teams had been in inconsistent form of late, but it was nice to get back on a grass pitch and, for the first time in what felt like months, play without the rain. Hopefully spring has finally sprung. The game started slowly as both teams tried to get the measure of each other. Rawmarsh had plenty of the ball early on but never really troub

The U14s were back in league action this weekend facing a strong SJR Worksop team. Having played them twice this season in the league and cup and with both games being close we knew we would have to be on top form to take anything from the game.   Before kick off both teams were sat mid table, level on points. If either team could find that win it would give them the chance to jump up to 4th in division 1 and set them up for a strong push towards the end of the season.   Peni

Match Report Barnsley Women 0–1 Penistone Church Women U12 Penistone Church Women U12 got back to winning ways with a hard-fought 1–0 victory over Barnsley in a closely contested encounter. Both teams played the game in great spirit, showing plenty of quality on the ball along with the heart and determination that even the Lionesses would be proud of. It was a competitive first half, with both sides pushing forward and looking to break the deadlock, but strong defending and d

A decent point gained in yesterday’s game with a fairly stripped-back squad & limited substitutions. Penistone were defensively sound throughout - disrupting Socrates’ play and offering them very little when it came to goal scoring opportunities. Despite having only one sub, the team finished the match strongly, pinning Socrates into their half in the final 20 minutes and creating numerous chances on goal. ⭐️ POM went to midfielder Paige Town, who may appear quiet and unassum

Penistone Church Blacks U13 Ladies vs Caribbean Sports JFC U13 After last week’s impressive away win against Penistone Church Whites, Penistone Church Blacks U13 Ladies  were back in action — this time on home soil on the Astro at PGS. With half term over, 14 of the squad were available, with just two missing through injury, as they faced a well-organised Caribbean Sports JFC side. ⚽ Match Report The game couldn’t have started in a tougher fashion for Church. After just two m

A fantastic performance from the team today, playing with a bare eleven but showing grit and determination to the very end. Millmoor took the lead in the first half, but Penistone kept battling. With their countless chances and domination, they barely let Millmoor out of their own half in the final 45 minutes. On another day, we’d have brought home the points; even the opposition admitted we were unlucky to come away without a result. ⭐️ POM went to Abby Ulley (sponsored by J

After nearly a month without playing due to the bad weather our U14s finally got back out on the pitch for a friendly away against Sprotbrough & Cusworth. With a few girls missing due to district games & holidays it was going to be a tough test for the rest but right from the KO we could see they were all up for it. It was a fairly even but scrappy first half with an uneven pitch making it hard for the girls to keep possession of the ball and string passes together but they

A four-game league winning streak came to an end on Saturday morning as Penistone Church Women U12s made the trip to table-toppers Handsworth. Despite a six-point deduction earlier in the week following a team’s withdrawal from the league, Penistone’s spirit, pride and determination remained firmly intact. Starting the day in fourth place, and remaining there after other results went their way, the girls showed once again why they are among the league’s strongest sides. Fast

Our first point of the season! It’s been a tough season so far for U13’s Whites. Promotion last year but the girls have found it challenging to move up a league and start playing 11V11. We have had a few players leave this season leaving us with a bare bones squad of 10! In today’s game we only had 8 away at Wickersley. The girls were amazing. They worked tirelessly all game and showed great fitness. Wickersley played with 10, which showed great class from them, even though t

Its great to be back on the pitch with our coach Derek exceptionally positive from the off as Wolves had actually won a game of football! We were playing today at Charnock Ridgeway and both sides knew we were in for a close game. In an even first half Bea worked hard to close down a clearance and nip in to finish really well to the great delight of the supporting parents. Charnock responded with a equalising goal and a 1:1 outcome was fair on the balance of play. The second h

Penistone Church Women U12 3–1 Frickley Athletic U12 An almost like-for-like contest unfolded today as Penistone Church Women U12s produced a strong team performance to secure a 3–1 victory over Frickley Athletic in a competitive encounter. Penistone made the perfect start, striking early in the game through Gracie, who marked her return to the side in style following a short absence. A dangerous ball into the box caused panic for the Frickley defence, and as the goalkeeper s

It was a return to winning ways for our under 18’s blacks as they hit the road, away to Dronfield Town. Dronfield Town held the balance of play but chances fell evenly in the first half until Sienna slotted home after some excellent work down the right from Evie. The girls were encouraged to find the next gear and be more positive on the ball in the second half and an outstanding through ball from Eva sent Ava clean through to add the second. Three minutes later Ava added her

Derek did absolutely everything he could to try and get the game on at the weekend but a huge amount of rain put paid to the U15 Blacks playing. Derek is currently drawing up emergency plans so that the rain can't beat us in future fixtures.

Penistone Church Ladies U13 Blacks were finally back in action this weekend away to Caribbean JFC. Both teams doing well in the table and it showed with a close first half where Caribbean managed to sneak into half time one nil up after a first period of few chances and little for either goalkeeper to do. The second half started in the worst possible fashion for Church after conceding almost immediately after the restart with some sloppy play leading to an easy finish for th

First game in a month for our under 18 blacks at the Memorial Ground and they were back to winning ways in a tightly fought game against Bramley Sunnyside. With two excellent finishes from Sienna and Jasmine, both from nice through balls from Eve the girls won 2-0 in a game that could have ended in any result. Player of the match awards went to Ava and Jasmine but all 16 played their part today. Back at home next Saturday against Hallam Rangers in the Shield.
