KIRKS BAR ☕️ | OPEN SUNDAY MATCHDAYS

A reminder that our ‘Kirk’s Bar’ Refreshment trailer will be open and serving hot drinks and snacks whilst our games takes place across the morning and into lunch.

We appreciate to both home supporters and visitors the size of our ground this season so a ‘halfway house’ is perfect for supporters supporting teams at the top of the park or across on the new Elizabeth fields (Pitches 11-15).

Enjoy the game and a brew anytime with Kirk’s Bar @ Whetstone Athletic! Open Every Sunday throughout the season.*

🔴⚽️⚫ SATURDAY ROUND-UP

A packed Saturday for our club - the academy’s buzzing, youth football is in full swing and plenty of senior footy to digest!

⚽ ACADEMY & U7 PUMAS
Our usual Saturday morning academy welcomed another great turnout! Interested in getting your child into football? Email [email protected] 📩

Our U7 Pumas also enjoyed a development fixture against Syston-based Riverside United Junior Football Club; a great experience for both sides in the early stages of their football journey! 👏

🏆 YOUTH ACTION
A superb home victory for our U11s against Ace Academy, with Zachary grabbing a fantastic hat-trick! 🎩⚽

Our U12 Lions were narrowly beaten 3-2 by but have a chance to bounce back tomorrow away Beaumont Park Lions U12 in the Foxes League.

🔴 FIRST TEAM
Redemption! ‘Stone beat 2-0 in the reverse fixture from last week, despite playing most of the game with 10 men following Taylor Carvell’s early dismissal. Goals from Jake Smith and Kylan Watson secured a hard-earned three points! 💪

🟢 RESERVES
A first win of the season! Phil Booth’s side edged a seven-goal thriller 4-3 against FC IANNIS Senior in a crucial County League clash. Ryan Richmond scored twice, with Zack Ablett and Enedin Sejdic also on target! 🙌

⚽ ELSEWHERE
whetstone_fc_a lost 4-1 away at Barlestone St Giles FC; Ellis Sargeant getting the consolation. Our Veterans also endured a difficult afternoon, losing 7-0 to Ambleside Veterans.
