🏑 Weekend Club Summary

A weekend of sunshine, frozen pitches, big wins, near misses, heroic defending, and enough chaos to fill a season review. The Women’s 1s delivered a commanding 3–0 victory through sharp finishing and flowing teamwork, while the Women’s 2s produced their most dominant performance of the year with a 6–0 away win. The 3s were forced to postpone due to frost.

On the men’s side, the 1s somehow turned total domination into a 0–0 “battering”, the 2s battled to a gritty 2–1 win away at Northern, the 3s fought hard on Runcorn’s sandy beach-pitch, and the 4s showed huge character in a narrow 2–0 loss despite a depleted squad. Across the club, effort, humour, and resilience were everywhere.

WOMEN’S TEAMS

Women’s 1 — Win (3–0)

Eirias dominated from start to finish after the pitch thawed just in time. Slick passing and great interplay set the tone, with Sophie spinning beautifully to make it 1–0 at half‑time. The pressure continued as Charlotte hammered home from a penalty corner before Steph finished off a lovely move with Ella to secure a deserved 3–0 victory.

Women’s 2 — Win (6–0)

A long trip to Formby turned into a statement performance as the 2s delivered their most cohesive showing of the season. With wave after wave of attacks, a “Hannah‑trick” of four goals led the charge alongside strikes from Sophie M and Ella P. The defence — and goalkeeper — had almost nothing to do as the team cruised to another strong win and stayed top of the league. MOTM: Ella DOTD: Hannah Goals: Hannah (4), Ella, Sophie

Women’s 3 — Postponed

Frozen pitch. No game this week.

MEN’S TEAMS

Men’s 1 — Draw (0–0)

A wild one. Eirias completely dominated Clitheroe & Blackburn with relentless attacking, 20 short corners, and over 100 shots… but somehow no goals. From disallowed finishes to comedy moments (a Strictly‑Come‑D spin from Cal and a green card for Ash), it was one of the most convincing 0–0 results imaginable. A first clean sheet of the season and plenty of positives despite the frustration. MOTM: Lewis Sanford DOTD: Anthony Card: Ash (Green)

Men’s 2 — Win (2–1)

The 2s continued their promotion push with a hard‑earned away win. Early pressure led to multiple short corners before Freddie calmly finished for 1–0. Luke doubled the lead with a slow‑motion roller that somehow crept in. Northern pushed back in the second half, scoring late, but Eirias held firm thanks to strong defending and sharp goalkeeping. MOTM: Freddie DOTD: Luke Goals: Freddie, Luke

Men’s 3 — Loss (0–6)

On Runcorn’s sandpit of a pitch, the 3s dug deep despite the conditions. With limited subs and a match filled with rule‑interpretation chaos, the team worked tirelessly across the pitch. Strong defensive graft, big saves from Rob, and relentless work from midfield and attack showed real heart even as the scoreline stretched. MOTM: Mark W

Men’s 4 — Loss (0–2)

A battling display from a young, developing squad who showed organisation, grit and no shortage of determination. Northop scored via a debated penalty flick and a late first‑half scrappy chance, but Eirias responded with long spells of pressure and excellent defensive discipline. Leo was outstanding in goal, and Johnny’s all‑action display earned him POTM. POTM: Johnny
