Wythenshawe Town v Kartel Sports E-Programme

. . .

The club was formed in 1991 by

present secretary Paul Cheetham, who

formed a youth team for Old Alts FC in

1989 and after two seasons the young

players wanted to have their own club

side so the team left Old Alts, and

Kartel Sports was born entering the

third division of the Altrincham League.

They won promotion twice and they

reached the top division in 1997 and

are now established senior club in the

Altrincham League reaching their

pinnacle in the 2000/01 season when

they won the Altrincham FA Senior Cup

defeating Linotype FC 1-0.

This season has been a rebuilding

exercise for Kartel with the loss of

many long serving players last season,

who retired. New manager Craig

Barlow has come in and introduced

many young players that the club was

desperate for and this will see Kartel

finishing in a mid-table position.

Formed in 1946, and playing at Hough End Fields on

Princess Road, Withington, Wythenshawe Town were

originally known as North Withington FC, but were

eventually re-named in 1987; after a few seasons at

their new ground in Wythenshawe. The ground was

named Ericstan Park as a tribute to Eric Reynard and

Stan Orme who were prime movers in the club's early

days.

After a long period in the Lancashire and Cheshire

League the club joined the Manchester League in

1974. In 2014, Wythenshawe moved from the Man-

chester League to the Cheshire League 2, a league

with representatives from Altrincham, Witton Albion

and many more.

Wythenshawe Town Football Club senior section now

has two teams in the Cheshire League and one in the

Manchester Sunday League. Lee McGregor took

charge of the squad in the pre-season preceding the

2014/15 season.

People are getting interested in

the club, and why not. The club is

putting in the tireless effort to

ensure the progression of the

club. The North West Counties

League is the important aim, and

every day we are making strides

to that aim.

In the off season we are

developing the ground, with new

stands and it‟s a very much

exciting time to be around the

club. We really want people to

get behind the term we have

coined the „Wythylution‟ and we

need volunteers to drive the club

forward to semi-pro football. It‟s

exciting times to be around the

club and any support we can get

from volunteers, sponsors and

supporters will benefit us hugely.

Last time out against Cuddington

in the Cheshire League, we

showed what this team is about

with the performance, where we

can grind out results in the

toughest of conditions.

We‟re coming up to two

consecutive cup semi-finals. Our

focus is all on the upcoming

weeks, and we will show Kartel

Sports and Gorse Hill what this

team is all about.

So stay for a drink in the

clubhouse after the game with

the players. The supporters are

one of the driving forces of this

club and every single player

appreciates the support the fans

bring each and every game.

ENJOY THE GAME

Welcome to everyone today, the

club have worked tirelessly to

get a big crowd down for today‟s

game and that can only be

commended. Thanks to all those

who are coming down to support

the team and it will be great to

have a bumper crowd and I hope

you are attracted to come again.

Today we welcome Kartel

Sports, cup games can bring

games of unknown quantities

especially when playing teams

from different leagues. But we

have to play to the qualities we

have in the squad.

The players know what is

expected of them in this Semi-

final tie against Kartel, we have

prepared well in training like

every game and this game will

require no motivation. Cup

competitions are important for

us I believe, we can test our

skills in a one off game and we

know that Kartel will want to get

to the final just as much as we

will.

This is the time of year that

teams show their worth. We can

prove to the doubters that we

can win big games and I have all

the faith in the strengths we

have at this squad. Everyone at

the club knows the power that

this team possess and a cup

final would be a great platform

for the players to show everyone

what we‟re about.

We want Wythenshawe to be

proud of our club,

Wythenshawe‟s club. We‟re

getting our name out there,

slowly but surely.

Captain Jonathan Rand reflects on

the season so far but stresses the

season really starts now.

“The squad have put the hard work

in throughout the whole season but

I can‟t stress it enough, the season

really starts now. We have two semi-

finals in two weeks and we now

know that this will define the

season. People will remember

these matches when they think

about the current Wythenshawe

Town squad.

We have seen some incredible

performances which have

dismantled many opponents which

have been feared, and the quality of

the team we have means we are

confident going to into every game.

Last time out against Cuddington

we put up great determination to

grind out a result and it‟s put us 3

points closer to the elusive Cheshire

League 2 crown. But all thoughts

are now on to today‟s game as we

welcome Kartel Sports of the

Altrincham District League.

Kartel will have their eyes on the

final and we‟ll have to be on top

form to beat them. They possess

some real quality but we‟re

confident we can combat their

strengths and exploit their

weaknesses.

Although they may have not had the

most successful league campaign,

their cup run shows that means

very little coming into big cup

games like these and the prestige

that comes with winning cups is

both teams motivation.

Although the team set the aim of

promotion this season, that has

changed very much since the

beginning of the season. Cups

allows us to express our high

intensity playing style and we want

to bring trophies to Ericstan Park,

that‟s why we are here”.

Enjoy The Game,

Jonathan Rand

They play their home games at St.Brides Playing fields (pictured) in Old Trafford, postcode M16 7PH.

Woodhead

Wythenshawe Town travelled to Cuddington for a Cheshire League 2 fixture. The first half saw a scrappy affair on a very poor pitch. Wythenshawe took control in the second half and Ash Woodhead put the visitors in front. The hosts only real chance was a free kick that went close in the dying minutes. Lee McGregor had his say on the match, “Not the most fluent performance but we battled in poor conditions and picked up yet another vital 3 points.

. . .


Today brings the biggest game of the season so far, it will be a great achievement to reach the final of the Altrincham cup in our first year, good luck to all involved. The one thing you can be assured of with this team is they will give 110% commitment, as they do in every single game they play. Congratulations to our U21 on their semi-final win on Sunday coming out winners of a hard thought game 4-3 after extra time. Well done to each and every one of the team great achievement in their first year of being formed as a team well done. I am delighted with the progress of our 2nd team Gary King, who is doing a fantastic job and put them in contention for the title and in a fantastic position to qualify through their group in the challenge cup taking them into the 1/4 final still a long way to go in the season but the progress is fantastic. The turnaround in our senior teams after the disaster of last season has been fantastic, the first team remain in all 4 competitions. The 2nd team in contention for the title and challenge cup, U21s in their first year are in top half of the table and in the final of the Cheshire League Cup at Altrincham FC date to be announced.
