Penalties Cup victory for Shirland
Frozen pitches were a great concern this week. Matlock Town Youth's game was the only game off Ð with reports that club staff were unable to sink a key into the pitch surface.

Best of luck to Shirland Miners Welfare in their Derbyshire Junior Cup North Quarter-Final against Chesterfield away against Chesterfield League side Holmewood.

   Shirland had a 4-2 penalties victory in the last round against Woolley Moor United, while their opposition Holmewood won 5-4 after battling back from 4-1 down.

   Dave Thurnham commented: 'We have been told they are a young side. We have four players missing so we are up against it, but we will try our best and we will make the league proud. We have a good bunch of lads who can cover for the guys that are injured.Fingers crossed."

SNAPPY NEW YEAR!

Freezing temperatures took their toll on matches for this weekend with all games off, including Shriland Miners Welfare's Derbyshire Junior Cup North third round tie.
   "We have removed all of the snow from the pitch for the third time in two weeks but it looks like its the freezing temperatures that will stop us again, " reported Dave Thurnhan. "The pitch is in good condition but frozen solid so not looking good."
   It wastestimony to the Shirland lads who made a stoic effort to fulful their fixture against Woolley Moor United and we can only hope their reward will eventually be a quarter-final slot against either Hopflower or Holmewood.
   In the Cavendish Cup Riddings were the first to call their game off, followed by Harveys and Tibshelf with AFC Lea Holloway unable to play while await Shirland's availability.
   And in the League Ashbourne were also forced to call their fixture off, with temperatures plummeting to record lows as the weekend approaches.

Snow Lions dump Tideswell out of Derbyshire Cup
Darley Dale Lions clinched victory over Tideswell in a showy encounter in the Peak with Matt Allsop finishing a great move from a Mark Ashton cross from the left wing to earn a third round Derbyshire Junior Cup North tie away against Dove Holes.
   It's taken five attempts to play the fixture and the win comes despite Darley Dale Lions having to give home advantage to play under floodlights. Asking how manager John Marsden felt he replied: "Proud of the lads."
   It takes two teams from the Matlock & District Football League into the next round with
Shirland Miners Welfare facing an away clash at Woolley Moor United, both due to be played on Saturday, 12 December, 2009.

WEATHER OR NOT GAMES ARE ON! Rain and high winds look to play a huge part in this weekend's fixtures. Tibshelf Community's home clash against Kings Arms was called off by ground staff, with 'standing water' already on the pitch and the forecast looking bleak.
   AFC Lea Holloway's Derbyshire Cup match looked 50-50 on Friday afternoon but was called off after 9am pitch inspection by Lea Green's Andy Bailey. Similarly, Darley Dale Lions' clash with Tideswell and Laburnum vs Pinxton North End were washed out. 11.11am – we'll keep you informed.

Bakewell Youth fold
5 October, 2009

Bakewell Youth have announced their intention to fold following Saturday's 'no-show' at Shirland Miners Welfare.
   Despite their efforts to join adult football after playing together as youngsters, Bakewell Youth have found it hard in a well-organised Matlock & District Football League.
   Secretary Jessica Stone explained: "I am having to fold the team as we do not have enough players turning up to play and not enough transport to get to away football matches."
   She added: "I am sorry for this, but thanks for the opportunity to let us play in your league
."
   Bakewell Youth are in negotiations regarding their commitment and financial arrangements regarding their withdrawal.
   Chairman Drew Robertson commented: "It is always disappointing when teams fold. We gave them every encouragement, as we do as a strong league, but it perhaps was a step too far for these youngsters without the backing of more experienced footballing people."

The Matlock & District Football League mourns the passing of one of the modern heroes of the game...Sir Bobby Robson (18 February 1933 Ð 31 July 2009). Condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace – or perhaps with the respectful, faint roar of the football crowds who adored him throughout the game!

Medal found under floorboard, can you help?

Taking up the floorboards proved intriguing for Ian Banton at his home on Greenhill, Wirksworth.

   He explains: "I have found a silver runners-up medal from 1932-31 for the Matlock and District Football league beneath my floor.

   "I would like to repatriate the medal with its rightful owner or his family?."

   E-mail Drew Robertson at chairman@matlockfootball.co.uk in the first instance and we will be happy to pass on your message.
