Pre-Season

Pre-season is going well, with 30-40 players turning up for each training session, the new players have strengthened the squads which can only be for the best. Our friendlies are going well, scoring 16 goals and conceding only 3 in 4 matches..... keep up the good work boys and we're in for a good season.....

Cup Draws

The League Cup and Wilkinson Sword Cup draws have been made and will see us coming up against Tadcaster Albion in the League Cup and Teversal in the Wilkinson Sword Cup. Being our first season in the N.C.E.L. we know nothing about our opposition but we will be be raring to go once the season starts.

Good luck to all involved

UP THE WELLS!!

Hemsworth M.W. v Teversal - T.B.C.

Hemsworth Welcome Back Cracknell

Legend Andrew Cracknell has rejoined Hemsworth Miners Welfare to work as joint manager alongside current boss, Paul Crapper.

The ex-Bridlington Town and Denaby United defender managed the club from 1995 to 2003, leading them to the West Riding County Amateur League Division One double in the 1996/1997 season.

He also picked up two Premier Division Cups in 1998 and 2002 whilst steering the club to three Sheffield Junior Cup Finals, winning it once in 1998.

He said: "It's great to be back in Football and especially back at the club I love. Andy has had several offers to manage other local teams but he only wanted to get back into the game with Hemsworth.

Crapper said: "I approached Andy mainly for his experience at this level.Although I have managed the club for five years now, I realise that this season was going to be a massive challenge. But, it's now a challenge we are really looking forward to. We are expecting to name a couple of big signings shortly but we have quality throughout the squad.

What is especially exciting is the youth coming through at the moment. It's buzzing at the club and we can't wait to get started."
