We are officially back…First game of the season in the championship Doncaster Sunday League.

Since gaining promotion the lads have had a well earned rest and not started preseason training till 12th of July. The matches played leading up to season have showed a mixture of moments with 1 win 3 losses and a nil nil draw 🤦🏼‍♂️, some blame taken by Club organiser for booking teams in higher leagues or teams far away for some lads to travel

Oh well..with that we focus on tomorrow with Rawcliffe travelling to Carcroft village FC, a team who has came down from the Prem Division.

Rawcliffe United Promoted to Championship

We ended our season on a disappointing result last week meaning we had to sit and wait for the result of this weekend games to decide our future

We sat second of the start of today but AFC Mallard did their job away at Kinsley so all eyes turned to Edlington FC…

Edlington FC 3

Yorkshire grey 4

This sees Rawcliffe finishing 3rd on goal difference. In the league table 2nd, 3rd and 4th all finished up on 45 points, all 3 teams had the same amount of wins, losses and draws, which really shows how close it was!

The lads will get together to celebrate on our presentation evening which will be held at the Rawcliffe Bridge Club Date to be confirmed

We would like to thank everyone who’s played, watched or followed us on this journey and hope we can continue improving every season onwards!

🔴⚫️Rawcliffe United get first win in 2026⚪️⚫️

Rawcliffe United end their losing streak with a win at home against Innings AFC

Changes were made with suspensions and a couple of players returning for selection, with the team picked, the lads knew it would be a test to get the 3 points and the result we wanted.

Rawcliffe started well making plenty of chances but not being able to find the back of the net. Innings had some chances but nothing too concerning for returning Goal keeper Adam David Cook to sort out. Class display from the back 4 with a centre back partnership which hasn’t happened since 2019-20 season with Captain Ryan Chapman and returning Alex Hunt.

With Rawcliffes tireless midfield of Dave Duzza Durham,Alfie Gisbourne and Oliver Brennan all creating and having chances, half time being minutes away, Rawcliffe was thinking it was going to be one of them days where nothing hits the net as even a penalty was saved denying the hosts the lead.
Within the last minute to go till half time a ball played forward which was flicked on by Josh Tooke opened up a chance for Reece Chapman who was one on one with the keeper for which he took it around the keeper and sent the hosts into half time with tap in to the empty net.

Second half Rawcliffe made some changes with Desmond Owusu stepping in for injured Gisbourne.
Rawcliffe got their second with a clearance from Adam Cook landing into space behind the innings back 4 letting Reece Chapman run onto it and having another one on one to just curl it around the keeper and in, 2-0
Rawcliffe came close making it 3-0 nill after nice bit of play with Jack Mirfin linking up with the midfield and Oscar Stowell who hit the bar after a hit just inside the box. With Rawcliffe making problems, Rawcliffes 3rd did eventually come with a corner kick took by David Durham who found Captain Ryan Chapman free in the box to head it into the net 3-0

Innings managed to get one back with a mix up between two players saw them slotting in to the Rawcliffe net. 3-1
Rawcliffe managed to respond by getting their fourth shortly after getting a corner kick cleared and played back into the box Ryan Chapman chested it down to set Reece Chapman up for a half volley just outside the box. 4-1
Rawcliffes final goal came again after a corner took by Rawcliffes Pirlo…Oliver Brennan which caused a mix up in the box and centre back Ryan chapman doing Kick up in the box which looked like it was going out for a corner till Reece Chapman won the race to save it against the keeper to which he scored from a tight angle on his weaker foot. 5-1

Man of Match: Reece Chapman

Great performance all round and the result Rawcliffe wanted which pushed us back into second place in the league. Great to see people down at bridge park to cheer the lads on aswell.

Thanks to our sponsors

Next Sunday Rawcliffe travel to 1st place ZK Dons
