Ashbourne have gone off to pastures new following Matlock & District Football League's Annual General Meeting, and join Tibshelf Community who have not been invited to join us next season.


Great work has taken place behind the scenes to ensure we have a strong, even-numbered, 14-team, one division Matlock & District Football League for 2010-11. We welcome Tansley, Tibshelf, Wirksworth Albion and Woodthorpe.

Len was a former chairman of the Matlock & District Football League and become a Life Vice President. Our condolences to his family.

WEL-FARE DOS! Shirland Miners Welfare lifted the Cavendish Cup with a 9-0 drumming of Haveys Bar at South Normanton Athletic's ground on May Day Monday. Goals from Richard Harrison, man-of-the-match Steven Wright (2), Dale Hegarty (4), Gareth Brown and Ian Hursthouse earned a well-deserved victory from a team under enormous fixture and injury pressure. Congratulations to Dave Thurnham (pictured with the Cavendish Cup) and his dedicated team, including the backroom staff, for winning this coveted 105-year-old trophy.

Shirland celebrate

Referee Malc Whittaker, who officiated over the Cavendish Cup Final, collected the Stuart Baker Shield as Referee of the Year while Holloway's Shaun Bott won the Player of the Year award. Both were presented before the game and extremely well-deserved, providing great role models.

HILCOTE VICTORIOUS ...Hilcote United deservedly lifted the Manor Pharmacy Shield in a pulsating game at Matlock Town's Causeway Lane ground.
   The 4-2 extra-time win was a fantastic achievement against the much-fancied Shirland Miners Welfare. Daniel Ryan picked up the man-of-the-match award. Great goals from Ryan, Noakes (2) and Pepper. Congratulations to Hilcote...more to follow. Pacy Hilcote's Manor Pharmacy delight.

Praise for Black Hippo Sporting endeavour is always to be applauded and Black Hippo deserve great credit for their season despite 22 league defeats, the last on Saturday away 6-5 against Tibshelf Community.
   Hippo's Josh Dakin commented: "We've improve over the season but due to lack of players and no manager we couldn't scrape a win. We have shown we have potential and will give 110% to get points on the board next season."
   
Meanwhile, Hippo have started their search for a new manager to help consolidate their club and focus on a real push for progress next season. Contact Josh Dakin on 07738 121855 or via e-mail farmer_dakin@hotmail.co.uk
