⚽️ FULL-TIME RESULT ⚽️
PROSPECT AFC 4–2 ROSE ATHLETIC F.C

A much improved performance from the lads with Rose putting in a far stronger display and for large periods of the game were by far the better side.

3 goals conceded from a defensive and goal keeping mistakes never helps. Got to give their lad it for the first goal though he whipped a lovely curling effort into the far top corner 👏🏻

Unfortunately, the result didn’t go our way, with two goals coming from Regan’s penalty which was won by Adam and Benji who was unreal all game getting on the scoresheet in his first game for the club assisted by Ben.

Unfortunately, the game was heavily influenced by what we felt was an extremely poor refereeing performance. The standard of officiating was nowhere near where it needed to be, with a number of questionable decisions throughout the 90 minutes leaving both players and management increasingly frustrated.

There were several incidents where we felt the referee failed to apply consistency, with decisions seemingly going one way time and time again. The way certain situations were handled, along with the inconsistency in his decision-making, made it incredibly difficult for the lads to play their football.
We also have to question the apparent familiarity between the referee and members of the Prospect side. We are not suggesting anything improper took place, but when the officiating appears so heavily weighted in one team's favour, it is understandably going to raise questions and frustration.

That said, we’ll take the positives from today’s performance, learn from the result and move forward. Heads up, lads — we go again. 💛🖤

⚽️ FIXTURE PREVIEW ⚽️
PROSPECT AFC V ROSE ATHLETIC F.C.

This Sunday sees us make the trip to Prospect AFC as we look to get back to what we know we can do and put in the kind of performance we know we're capable of.

We've already faced Prospect earlier this season coming away with a 5–2 victory, we know this will be another tough test. Recent weeks haven't seen us at our best and if we're to come away with another three points we'll need to raise the standards massively and show more intensity fight and togetherness and be back to our best from the first whistle.

Prospect are no mugs and will be looking to make this a completely different game so there can be no complacency. It's time for the lads to step up put the recent performances behind us and show exactly what Rose Athletic are all about.

One club. One family. One goal. 🌹
Up the Rose! 💛💙

⚽️ FULL-TIME RESULT ⚽️
ROSE ATHLETIC F.C 1–0 BRIDGE TAVERN AFC

Rose Athletic F.C. have secured their place in the next round of the District Cup with a 1–0 victory over Bridge Tavern AFC.

However, once again, this was a performance well below the standards we know this group is capable of. From the first whistle, we struggled to find any real rhythm, with simple passes going astray and very little attacking threat being created throughout the majority of the game.

For large spells, we simply weren’t at the races, and it took until the final 15 minutes for us to finally find a way through and get the all-important goal.

The result is ultimately what matters in cup football, and getting through to the next round is a positive, but we have to be honest with ourselves — the performances need to improve, and quickly.
Over the last couple of games, we’ve seen a noticeable drop in the fight, togetherness and overall work rate that helped us make such a strong start to the season. That cannot become the norm.

We know exactly what this group is capable of, but it's time to get back to the basics: work for each other, fight for every ball, play for the badge and leave everything out on the pitch.

🏆 Through to the next round.
💛🖤 Now it's time to get back to being Rose.

⚽️ DISTRICT CUP FIXTURE PREVIEW ⚽️
ROSE ATHLETIC F.C V BRIDGE TAVERN F.C

A STATEMENT IS NEEDED TOMORROW.

After last week’s disappointing performance, the lads have the perfect opportunity to put things right and show exactly what Rose Athletic F.C are all about.

Last week simply wasn’t good enough, but the message this week is clear — draw a line under it, get back to what we do best and put in a performance that reflects the standards we’ve set this season.

It’s time to show that last week was just one of those days where nothing went our way, and more importantly, it’s time to respond in the right way.
There’s also extra bragging rights on the line tomorrow, with both teams representing The Bridge Tavern Pub. The battle on the pitch will be competitive enough, but there’s no doubt there’ll be plenty to talk about back at the pub afterwards!

Time to react. Time to respond. Time to show what we’re really about.

Come on Rose! 💛💙

⚽️ FULL-TIME RESULT ⚽️
RATTLERS F.C 9–0 ROSE ATHLETIC F.C

A day we simply have to put behind us.
There’s no hiding from the fact that today’s performance was nowhere near the standards we expect and have set ourselves as a team. We didn’t turn up, we didn’t compete, and ultimately we got exactly what our performance deserved, Battered.

Rattlers were excellent and punished us from start to finish, taking full advantage of every mistake and dominating the game for the full 90 minutes. Credit where it’s due — they were clinical, aggressive and thoroughly deserved their victory.

It’s a difficult result to take, and an embarrassing one for everyone connected with Rose Athletic F.C but there are no excuses. We take responsibility, learn from it and move forward together.

Rattlers have clearly improved massively since last season and look like a completely different side. They showed today that they’re going to be a very strong team this season and we wish them all the best for the rest of their campaign.

For us, it’s about character now. One bad performance/result doesn’t define this team — how we respond to it does.

We dust ourselves down get back to work and come back stronger. 💛💙

Together. United. Rose. 🌹

🏆⚽️ LEAGUE CUP — FIXTURE PREVIEW ⚽️🏆
Rattlers F.C. V Rose Athletic F.C.

The first cup game of the season is here, and Rose Athletic are ready for war. 🔥

We head into this one against another side who have made a strong start to their season just like ourselves so there’s no doubt this will be a serious test. But when that whistle goes all that matters is who wants it more.

With several of our lads having previously played for Rattlers, there’s an extra bit of fire and determination going into this one. The lads know exactly what’s at stake and there’s only one objective — get the win and book our place in the next round.

We’re expecting a battle from the first minute to the last. No hiding, no excuses, no backing down. We’ll fight for every ball, compete for every tackle and leave absolutely everything out on that pitch for the badge.

Cup football. Big game. One goal — GET THROUGH.
COME ON ROSE 🟡🔵

⚽️ FULL-TIME RESULT ⚽️
Salts Sunday F.C. 2–8 Rose Athletic F.C.

Another outstanding performance from the lads today as Rose Athletic continued our excellent start to the season with a convincing 8–2 victory away from home.

From the first whistle to the last, we controlled the game and played some fantastic football. We were simply too strong for the opposition and created countless opportunities throughout the 90 minutes.

🧤 John May standing in between the sticks had a solid game when called upon, although he was rarely troubled thanks to an outstanding defensive display. Billy and Adam were rock solid at centre-back, while Jack and Abel provided plenty of energy and quality from full-back constantly getting up and down the wings.

In midfield, Lionel and Matty once again gave absolutely everything battling for every ball and keeping the intensity high. Tom dictated the play brilliantly using his passing range and dangerous through balls to consistently unlock the Salts defence.

Our front three of Louy, Regan and Kyle never stopped working. Their relentless pressing caused problems all afternoon, forcing mistakes and creating opportunities while their movement and link-up play in the final third was excellent.

The substitutes also made a huge impact. Liam, Hamza, Cam, Shak and Mark R all came on and carried out exactly what was asked of them. The fresh legs caused absolute havoc with Liam grabbing a hat-trick, Hamza scoring twice and Cam contributing three assists.

We dominated the game from start to finish and, despite scoring eight could quite easily have added another five or six if we'd been a little more clinical with that final pass in the final third.

Overall another huge performance and three valuable points. The standard is being set, the football is flowing and the lads are working incredibly hard for one another.
Now it's about keeping this momentum going 💛💙

8 goals. 3 points. Another statement from Rose Athletic.
