Devastating news as former player and close friend Steve Finney has passed away. A lovely man and one of the most talented players most will have seen, having played professionally for Manchester City and Swindon Town. Our deepest sympathy is with all family and friends.
What a performance that was tonight ! Every player at it ! Fair play to our opponents

they threw everything at us, but we defended for our lives and ran out 4-1 winners.

Another final awaits
Superb result today away against a team who are top of their (strong) league. The result was 2-0 to us taking us through to the quarter finals of the Lancashire Cup.
An emotional day as we attend the funeral of player Mark Ratcliffe’s dad, Billy. A massively attended ceremony shows what a quality man he was. From

RIP Billy, love you loads xxx ❤️🙏🏻
It’s with great sadness that we learn of the passing of a Wigan Amatuer League “Legend” Dave Orrell, what he’s done for the league and teams was incredible, his services where always above and beyond. He will be missed, the thoughts of our club are with his family and friends x
Happy birthday to Mr Winstanley St Aidans and club legend

We retain the league title without kicking a ball as Leigh foundry failed to beat digmoor. In what’s been a tough season for various reasons, the lads have remained focused and stuck to the job each week. Well done to all involved

UODATE ON BILLY 1/2: Billy was kept in overnight to keep an eye on him. He is currently on a drip and is feeling much better. He is made up with yesterday’s result and even predicted a 6-1 scoreline on route to A&E.
📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
1/2 We are extremely pleased to announce that we have been accepted into the Lancashire Amateur League for the upcoming season. We thank the Wigan Amateur League for everything for the many years that we have been a part of it.
Good performance today from the lads and fair credit to our opposition who never gave up.
League title was presented to us after the game and the lads very much deserved it 👏🏻
It looked like a difficult league to win but ended up doing in style after the ‘covid break’.

*** ANNOUNCEMENT ***
After securing the league and Laithwaite cup double yesterday manager Alan Long has stepped down. We want to thank him for the last 13 years for his massive efforts and success securing 2 x Lancs Cup trophies and multiple league and domestic cup titles.
Really good game today against a good Salford Victoria.. the game ended up 3-2 to us. All the lads put in a massive shift and on reflection feel we should’ve scored a few more after hitting the woodwork about 5 times.

Well after a few checks and the wins added to the system we can confirm that
We Are League Champions Once Again
Well we turned up today, fair do’s to the lads worked hard and it paid off as we progress to the semis of the Lancs Cup. Great opposition who not only played well, but can tell they’re good lads, coming back to our club and having a beer and no doubt having a good night 🙌🏻🍺
Massive shift from the lads today and a fully deserved 3 points. The game finished 4-1 and I have to say an outstanding shift was put in from every single one of the squad today as we were up against a very good and experienced set of lads.... up the f*cking Aidan’s!
Good game tonight as always against
@RainfordUtdFC
which finished 3-3 and we went through to the semi finals on penalties (3-1). The game had a bit of everything including a red card for us after about 30 mins. The 10 lads who played for the remaining 60 worked their socks off.
Big 3 points 2day for the lads, and a fully deserved win in the end, close game in the 1st half with us edging it with the chances, 2nd half our quality outshone the away side and deservedly won 4-1. Goals came from hull x 2 and

Superb effort I here from the lads tonight. Bare 11, defender in goal, at one point our combined age on the right was over 100 with the manager playing. Lost 5-4 in the end but the league was already tied up earlier this week. Well done to the lads that played 👍🏼

Thanks to
