No cutting corners this week.

@CarltonAthletic Very sad to hear this news. Love to his family & friends.

Carlton Athletic is devastated to announce the passing of our Chairman, John Flynn. John was the heart and soul of our great club, becoming the most decorated side in the WYL over the past 40 years. We offer our sincere condolences to Julie, Chris and all of John’s family. 🇦🇷

Difference between the pitch inspections is mad but another failed attempt at our opposition. We will be ready for the mid week. Sorry to our fan & players who had already set off after finding out at 12.25pm.

𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐋 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 📆 The first of four remaining away fixtures for Horbury as a trip to @parkgatefc awaits on Saturday. The reverse fixture was a goalless draw back in September. Saturday saw Horbury claim a seventh clean sheet of the season, something which is fairly impressive given the current league position. Parkgate fell to a 3-2 defeat away to ten man Penistone last time out. The Travis family are our match sponsors for this one. We really appreciate the support from our fans. We’re looking forward to seeing you all at Roundwood on Saturday cheering the boys on. Fingers crossed for a third win on the road come 5pm. ❤️

@EccleshillUtdFC @Horbury_TownFC All the best for the remainder of the season 🤝

So yesterday… I had no signal and only just realised all tweets were in my drafts!! So with that… it finished 4-0 to @Horbury_TownFC

Preparation certainly affected 90% off Friday. Nevertheless deserved a point, didn’t get one, we move onto our 9 cup finals.

FT’ | The dream week just wasn’t meant to be. The 11th defeat of the season by the sole goal. In it till the final whistle.

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈.. The calendar year delayed by a week has meant Horbury kick off with a home tie against Golcar United on 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓. Both sides in huge need of all three points to edge themselves further afield from the bottom two. The first of three fixtures back to back at home and a chance to use that home advantage. Wrap up warm and head down to the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium to kick start your weekend. See you there. ❤️

A tough result to stomache but very very proud of our club (players, supporters & volunteers) enjoy our journey. We learn, grow & love together. Thank you

FT’ | Fantastic spectacle for all as Horbury fall just short.

@TadcasterAlbion Refreshing to hear an honest assessment. Ryan & Team are more than capable of sorting their fortunes out. For us - course it’s a coup. We move on.

@ThackleyAFC @frickleyafc Everyone suffers them at some point. Jamie will have them bounce back.

𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘- Thackley AFC 0-7 @frickleyafc Defeat.

𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 📆 Tuesday night under the lights as Horbury welcome Knaresborough Town to the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium. Squad wise, a fair few changes. A similar squad to the previous midweek fixture (Sheffield FC, League Cup), with Kyeremeh and Asamoah unavailable. Whittaker misses out with a reoccurance of his previous injury, but Sam Awty and Tom Brook are added to the squad, with the possibility or either or both featuring some part. Llewellyn and Armitage also return to the squad. Gibril Bojang serves the final game of his three match suspension. Digital programmes tonight ladies and gents. Scan the QR code at the ticket office. Can the lads make it five wins from seven and continue that upward trajectory in the league? Find out by heading down and seeing the lads in action. ❤️

An improved second half & great spirit from a together group. However Jamie has done a great job in a short space of time rebuilding Thackley. Well done. We go again.

𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 ‘𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐤’ 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 ✍🏽 The club are delighted to announce the signing of former Ilkley Town and highly rated man, Nick Brayshaw. Nick made twenty appearances for Ilkley this season before deciding to make the step up to Horbury. The gaffa had the following words after confirming everything this morning with our new signing: DB “Having come up against Nick for Ilkley on numerous occasions an having spoken to Sam (former Ilkley manager) regarding him, it was clear we would get an excellent all round person and player who can play in numerous positions. It’s all happened a bit quick as I was keen to get him into the squad this morning so after a call lasting about half an hour, we’ve pushed through the signing this morning to add him to our squad for the Thackley game. It was clear to see we would be improving the squad with this signing and he can certainly bring plenty of attributes. As with everyone, I am sure you will all give him and his family a warm welcome”. Nick is available for sponsor for just £50. ❤️

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇𝐃𝐀𝐘 📆 We’re back, finally (or are we).. pitch inspection possible. The second half of the season gets underway this afternoon as Horbury entertain Thackley AFC at the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium. Tom Brook and James Cusworth are still sidelined through injury, with Sam Awty joining them. Gibril Bojang serves the second of his three match suspension as well. Llewellyn, Stephens, Armitage, Abualyan and Waite all miss out this week. Travis, Whittaker, Kyeremeh and Asamoah return to the squad after missing the cup win over Sheffield. Rodrigues continues his dual registration with the club too. Carl and the Northern Sole gang are legends for sponsoring the game. Unable to attend the game? You’ll either be able to listen to the game via commentary and obtain goal updates, or you’ll get extended in game write ups. I’ve yet to decide.. That being said, don’t let the weather put you off. As we kick the second half of, we need improvements on and off the field as we look to continue to grow. Attendances, exposure, relationships, performances, results ⬆️ Match programmes, pin badges and raffle tickets avaiable to purchase at the ground as always. See you later on, maybe 🫡

@KnaresboroughFC Sorry to hear of this. Love to all his family & friends. From all at Horbury Town FC.

His passion and encouragement meant so much to everyone at the club and he will be missed by us all. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this challenging time.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Terry Lawson. Terry was a loyal supporter of the club, for many years he and his dog Marvin, stood with us, backing our men’s team and more recently he became a true advocate for the women’s game and for our women’s team

Plenty of work to do as we enter the second half of the season. We keep going.

𝐈𝐂𝐘𝐌𝐈.. The month ends with another home tie as @ThackleyAFC travel to the Pulse Hire Ltd stadium on Saturday. Can Horbury end the month unbeaten? Three wins, one draw. Massive thank you to @northernsoleca1 for sponsoring the fixture, your support is hugely appreciated. Let’s get behind the boys. See you Saturday. ❤️

@CampionAFC A result the management fully deserved.

🔴⚫️ FULL-TIME | Tadcaster Albion 1–6 Campion AFC An incredible performance from the boys tonight against a side flying in the league! 🔥 ⚽️ Muirhead – hat-trick ⚽️ Sykes x2 ⚽️ Grech-Brooksbank A dominant, ruthless display on the road. Outstanding, Campion! 🔴⚫️
