Quiz Night

Don't forget the club will be holding the next music quiz night this coming Friday the 30th March in the clubhouse. Similar format to last time but there will be a 60's round this time and the chance to win some cash with 'chase the ace'. It all starts at 8 o'clock and once again it will be a gallon of beer for the winning team.

Away at Silsden

Well its Saturday and GNE's 1st team will be making the journey to Keighley Road the home of Silsden F.C.
GNE will be looking to carry on where they left off on Wednesday night when they showed every quality you want in a team, quality,work ethic and togetherness.
GNE sit 3rd in the league going into this game and i know that us as supporters we are so proud that at this late stage of a season we are talking of a genuine chance of getting promotion.
We are allowed to get excited but must remember we as supporters have a role to play in this promotion batle, we must give uncoditional support to the team and officials no matter what and must always remain positive.
For those not travelling away to Silsden today our reserves have a home game against Cheadle Town at Surrey Street in the Reserve Cup with a 3 oclock kick off.
So come down and cheer our lads on in a Cup match and you never know you may plat a part in giving the lads a boost that could see them get to yet another final.
The Reserves had a difficult start to the season but what an effort to get themselves back up the table and still be looking to win a trophy.
Finally if one Cup match at Surrey Street is not enough the GNE Ladies team have a game at Surrey Street on Sunday when they will play in the Semi Final of the Derbyshire Cup.
Kick Off for this game is 13.30.
What an effort by the ladies to be in such a position and have a great chance of reaching a Cup Final, so if you can make it down on Sunday im sure the girls would appreciate all the support they can get.
For more info on the ladies please visit www.gneladies.co.uk or you can follow them on twitter @GNELadiesFC
Good luck to all our teams in their games and lets hope we get three wins this weekend.

Todays games

Today see's GNE's first team travel to Padiham's Arbories Memorial Sports Ground, both teams going into this match on the back of victories last time out.
Padiham having won 0-3 away at Stone Dominoes and GNE's 2-1 home win against Ashton Athletic.
Although the second half performance by GNE was not great last weekend the lads came away with the 3 points and that is all we wanted.Points is what its about now and if you can get maximum points when you don't play your best can't be a bad thing.
For those who are not travelling to Padiham GNE reserves have a home game against Irlam reserves and the lads will be looking to get back to winning ways having been edged out in midweek at New Mills.
Im sure Trucca and the lads would appreciate the support if you can get over to Surrey Street for the 3 oclock kick off and of course there will be a warm welcome from the ladies in the pie hut.
Good luck to both our teams today in there games.

GNE play Ashton Athletic

GNE welcome the players, officials and supporters of Ashton Athletic to Surrey Street this afternoon for a league encounter.
Ashton will be looking to bounce back from their defeat in mid-week in the league challenge cup where they went down 1-3 at home to Bacup Borough, this came on the back of a 3-1 defeat away at Winsford last Saturday.
GNE should be fresh after no game in mid-week and they will be looking to build on last weeks very good win away at Congleton Town.
GNE will hope to keep the pressure on the teams above them,those teams have had some strange results recently which will hopefully give the lads something to aim for and who knows what can and will happen in the run in.
Pressure can have a massive effect on football matches and at this stage of a season at any level and some teams will cope better than others, hopefully GNE with the backing of its legendary supporters will stand up well when the going gets tough.
One thing no team can have any wories about is the playing surface at GNE, the pitch is is fantastic condition and a massive well done to the team who have done a great job keeping the playing surface in such amazing shape at this late stage of the season.
Good luck to Paul and the lads today and hope to see as many of you there.

Player of the Month

Because there were only 2 games in February the SC Committee decided it would be best to include these games in the award for March. So when it comes to voting at the end of March you will have to get those brain cells working and remember who played well in February too!
