WELCOME

Good afternoon and welcome to Castle Drive for todays West

Lancashire League Division Two game with Euxton Villa Reserves. The

Club would like to welcome Euxton Villas players, officials and

supporters to Castle Drive.

Kendal go into todays game on the back of a comprehensive 6-0 win

at Furness Rovers. Any midweek away game is always difficult

however Kendal impressed and responded after their 6-3 defeat to

Ladybridge last Saturday.

United played Euxton Villa away on the opening day and ran out 1-0

winners after Sam Hunter scored the only goal of the afternoon.

Euxton have had a difficult start to the season however they will

present a test for the team this afternoon.

After today, Kendal Uniteds next game will be the following Saturday

as they host Furness Cavaliers in the Challenge Cup First Round.

Life in West Lancashire League Division Two has already proven to be

interesting, and despite some setbacks along the way things are

going relatively okay. I hope you like the match programmes new

layout, I am trying different ways to promote Kendal United through

the website, social media, and press.

Before I close a special thanks goes out to Baz Johnson for

sponsoring todays game.

We hope you all enjoy this afternoons game!

FIRST TEAM MATCH REPORT:

KENDAL UNITED RUN RIOT ON AN IMPRESSIVE NIGHT

Furness Rovers 0 V Kendal United 6

Kendal United impressed on Monday Night after a comfortable 6-0 win at

Furness Rovers. Any midweek away game is always difficult however Kendal

put on arguably their best performance so far as they swept aside a spirited

Furness Team.

United opened the scoring on the 11th minute when Lee Mc Neill scored. Once

the goal had gone in Kendal continued to probe before Bailey Kenny scored the

second five mintues before half time.

It was much of the same in the second half, while Matthew Regan scored the

third of the night at 76 minutes while Kenny scored his second of the night

three minutes later.

Kendal overpowered the hosts while Sam Hunter and Jordan Archer Nelson

completed a good night for Simon Hansen and his team.

Monday Nights game:

Hunter (85), Jordan Archer Nelson (89)

RESERVE TEAM UPDATE

Kendal United Reserves lost 3-1 to Dent at Castle Drive in this opening

Westmorland Football League Division Two game.

United didn’t play well against an organised Dent Team. Dent went 2-0 up in

the first half, however Kendal got a goal back on the stroke of half time after

David Crierie scored from close range.

However Dent made the game safe late into the second half as the visitors ran

out deserved winners.

Kendal travel to play Greystoke this afternoon, before entertaining Staveley

United on Wednesday Night.*The midweek game kicks off at 6.30pm*

OPPOSITION HISTORY

A Little Piece Of History Euxton F.C - Circa 1983 Renamed as Euxton Villa F.C the following

season. Euxton Villa was formed in the 1907-1908 season and played in the West Lancashire

League until 1910 as far as the records can be found. They then progressed into the Preston

& District League winning many titles along the way. After the war the club became known

as Euxton FC. and they played on many grounds because of the poor conditions of

Greenside playing fields, in Euxton itself. The club has played home games at Croston,

Leyland, Chorley as well as being nomadic for a few seasons. ‘Euxton’ and another local

team ‘Euxton Albion’ played on a ground just off Runshaw Lane , where the shops are now

we’re told. This all changed in 1986 when Euxton managed to purchase their own land in

Runshaw Hall Lane , Euxton. From this land they managed to create three full size pitches, a

junior pitch and small training area’s. In 1988 Euxton amalgamated with Euxton Villa Juniors

to become known as Euxton Villa FC. The club now has some 18 teams at all age groups

playing in various leagues. Former players include David Unsworth (Everton and England ),

Chris Speak (Blackpool), David Bonner ( Cardiff ) and many more semi-professional players.

The senior teams now play in the West Lancashire Leagues but owe a large debt to the

Preston & District League. The clubs highlight was the winning of the Guild Hall Cup in April

2001 when the scoreline read Euxton Villa 2-1 Southport Trinity.

Well done to all our managers, parents, supporters & helpers, and especially

Stuart Holden who was outstanding from start to finish. Thanks also goes out

to all the teams for entering the tournament. It makes it worthwhile when
