Town
finished their season back in Division B disappointingly with another
heavy defeat; this time at the hands of rivals Charnock Ridgeway.
Without key players Liam Bucknall, Callum Garfitt and Curtis McLeish,
Town had to shuffle positions and a lacklustre start combined with
more individual mistakes saw Charnock race into a 3-0 lead. Matt
Burke pulled a goal back before half-time and a stern half-time
talk saw Town come out fighting for the second half. A good start
was rewarded when Marc finished from outside the area. Now with
renewed vigour it seemed Town would get the equaliser and push on
but a great shot from Charnock's hat-trick hero to make it 4-2 knocked
the wind out of Town and the visitors finally ran out 6-2 winners.
Simon gave the player of the match awards to the two goalkeepers,
James Aldridge and Nathan Whitworth for their efforts during the
year.

After
Thursday's thumping of Stocksbridge, Town were brought down to earth
slumping to their biggest defeat of the season at home to probable
champions Millmoor Juniors. Already without one key player, they
lost another two to illness before the game with a third, Marc Wolsenholme,
also suffering. Town started well and for 20 minutes matched their
visitors. However with ten minutes of the half left, a lack of concentration
let Millmoor open the scoring and within two minutes they were 2-0
up as a long throw was allowed to bounce across the area in front
of the goal and flicked in. Town again started the second half purposely
but individual errors allowed Millmoor to score four more before
a great ball from Matt Burke found Todd Mallender to score a well-deserved
goal. Millmoor scored another two in the last five minutes to run
out 8-1 winners which flattered them hugely.
One to forget, but the boys can bounce back on Thursday in their
last game of the season at home to Charnock. The parents man of
the match went to Connor McQuade with Curtis McLeish receiving the
coaches award.

Wolstenholme scored a hat-trick as Town notched up 8 goals against
relegated Stocksbridge on a spring Thursday evening. Stocksbridge
travelled to Stand Rd needing to win both of their remaining games
to have any chance of staying up. Stocksbridge started well and
Town struggled to get out of their own half for the first 10 mins.
Gradually Town's midfield began to take control led superbly by
Connor Davies. It was his great ball which split the defence for
Todd Mallender to finally open the scoring after Town had been denied
twice by the Stocksbridge keeper. Shortly after, Danny Hubbard finished
well to make it 2-0 following a clever ball from Marc. Marc himself
scored the third after a good run and cross from Curtis McLeish;
Todd's flick cleared off the line into the path of Marc who finished
in the corner. Marc scored the fourth on the stroke of half-time
with the Stocksbridge keeper doing well to keep the score down.
Marc completed his hat-trick early in the second half from the penalty
spot after Curtis had been up-ended in the penalty area. Todd added
a sixth before Matt Burke bundled in the seventh from close range
with 5 Stocksbridge players around him. Curtis completed the rout
with a wonderful piece of individual skill 10 minutes from time.
To be honest Town scored 8 and could have had 18, but for a combination
of good goalkeeping and poor finishing. Good luck to Stocksbridge
who have been relegated trying to play foootball, I hope they do
what we did last season and return at their first attempt. The W-L-W-L
sequence has finally been broken.
Connor Davies was the parents choice for man of the match and Marc
Wolstenholme was the coaches player of the match.

Two
first half goals against a hard working 10 man Bramley Sunnyside
was enough for Town to record their 9th win of the season.
After last week's poor performance Town started sprightly and had
the ball in the net after only three minutes, but Marc Wolstenholme
was just offside following Todd Mallender's pass. However it didn't
take much longer for Town to open the scoring. With 13 minutes on
the clock Callum Garfitt's excellent run and shot across the area
was deflected in. Two minutes after that Todd was unlucky not to
make it 2-0 with the excellent stand-in Bramley keeper pulling off
the first of many fine saves. 25 minutes in and Town did finally
make it 2-0; Harry Denton turning in Marc's corner from close range
for his first of the season.
On a warm morning Bramley's workrate in the second half was fantastic
as they tried to make up being one man down. Town wasted several
chances to increase their lead with Raymond Harrison hitting the
post and Bramley hit the bar as they looked to pull one back late
on. The L-W-L-W sequence is now 14 games strong; next up Stocksbridge
at Stand Road on Thursday. The
parents man of the match was awarded to Curtis McLeish with coaches
award going to Marc Wolstenholme.

A mothers
day afternoon trip to Hillsborough Pumas ended in disappointment
for Town u13's as they went down 3-1 on a pitch which rivals Charnock
and Wisewood as the worst pitch this season. For some reason Sheffield
Council had mowed around the outside of the pitch but had left the
playing surface untouched. The longish grass resulting in the pitch
being extremely unpredictable, bobbly and difficult to pass on.
Puma's took full advantage and within 30 seconds of the start they
were 1-0 up as Town failed to react to a simple high ball into the
area. Two minutes later Todd Mallender ran on to a great ball from
Harry Denton and scored past the oncoming keeper 1-1. Five minutes
later and it was 2-1 to the hosts. Another ball into the box and
another failed clearance; the shot from the edge of the area giving
Nathan Whitworth no chance. There was not much between the teams
for the rest of the half and Town were unlucky to still be behind
as the whistle went. In the second half Town never really got their
game together and the quick forwards of Puma's caused problems for
Town's defence. With about 15 minutes left Puma's wrapped up all
three points as Town were caught looking for the equaliser. The
Parents man of the match was awarded to goalscorer Todd Mallender
whilst the tireless Curtis Mcleish received the Coaches award

Mallender scored a hat-trick as the under 13's had a comfortable 4-0
win at plucky Stocksbridge Park Steels. The trip north found the hosts
with only 10 men but still up for a battle as they fight relegation.
Town controlled the first half and went close several times, before
Todd finally got his first 5 minutes before half-time running onto
a useful through ball and slotting past the oncoming keeper. Stocksbridge
did threaten occasionally but Town's back four stood firm protecting
Nathan Whitworth's goal, although he was forced into a save at the
end of the half to keep Town ahead at the whistle. The second half
started perfectly for Town as within a minute they were 2-0 ahead.
This time Danny Hubbard linking up with Todd for his second. Six minutes
later Danny added a third (his second in three games) after a great
ball from Marc Wolstenholme. Todd scored his hat-trick & Town's
fourth after winning the ball himself on the edge of the area with
only 11 minutes of the second half gone. For the remaining 24 minutes
Town didn't really get out of 3rd gear. Stocksbridge did battle admirably
and the referee seemed sympathetic to the home side with endless offside
decisions against Town even though he was too far behind the play
to see properly. As well as another useful three points it was Town's
first clean sheet of the season. The parent's man of the match was
awarded to Liam Bucknall with the coaches' award going to Corey Dixon;
and of course that sequence now reads L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W.

Town
travelled to 2nd placed Millmoor Juniors in a confident mood after
beating the league leaders last week. However a lacklustre 2nd half
display saw the home side eventually run out comfortable 4-1 winners
demonstrating the inconsistency that is Chesterfield Town u13's 2010/11.
Town's last eleven results have been L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L-W-L.
It was always going to be a tough game against a tall Millmoor side,
but it was made harder after just 15 seconds of the match as Town,
still in their beds, let their hosts attack from the kick off and
score for the perfect start.
The boys finally woke up to match Millmoor for the rest of the half
and as half-time arrived there was nothing to choose between the sides.
The second half was disappointing as Town were gradually out-battled
in the middle. Poor defending gifted Millmoor two more goals before
Curtis McLeish pulled one back with a great strike from the edge of
the area after good work from Todd Mallender. Although Town could
have levelled after creating two more good chances, it would have
probably been unjust and Millmoor wrapped up the game with a 4th before
the final whistle; one to forget. Toby Curtis was the parents man
of the match with Connor McQuade once again getting the Coaches vote.

Conner McQuade was Town's hero as they came from behind to beat
top of the table Worksop Town 3-2 in an exciting game at Stand Road.
Town were looking to bounce back after losing to Worksop three weeks
ago but it was the visitors who had the best chances in the first
25 minutes. Some resolute defending and poor finishing keeping Nathan
Whitworth's goal intact. As Town started to get more possession
Callum Garfitt picked the ball up on the left cut inside and unleashed
a superb shot from about 25 yards which looped over the Worksop
keepers head for a 1-0 lead. However 5 minutes later Worksop got
a deserved equaliser to go into half-time all square. A more even
second half saw both sides go close before Worksop took a 2-1 lead,
the visitors striker running onto a ball over the top to finish.
Town levelled with 10 minutes remaining; Danny Hubbard rewarded
for a tireless performance up front squeezing the ball between the
post and the keepers outstretched hand. Then with five minutes remaining
great work from Todd Mallender on the right saw his cross flash
across the area and there was Connor to score his first ever goal
for the club and a great winner. The Supporters man of the match
went to Danny Hubbard with coaches award to matchwinner Connor McQuade.

Town
met top of the table Worksop Boys in an afternoon encounter and
led from the second minute of the match until four minutes from
the end when two cruel goals gave the home side all three points.
For once Chesterfield started brightly and a goal kick from Nathan
Whitworth was flicked on into the path of Callum Garfitt who outpaced
the defence and slotted the ball in the corner for the lead. For
the rest of the half Town looked the more dangerous and could have
had at least two more goals. Callum, Todd Mallender, Marc Wolstenholme
and Curtis McLeish were giving the Worksop defence problems, Harry
Denton, Matt Burke and Raymond Harrison were strong in midfield
and the defence marshalled by Corey Dixon in the middle and Liam
Bucknall and Toby Curtis either side looked comfortable; restricting
Worksop to very few chances on Nathan's goal. The second half for
25 minutes was very even with both sides trying to play football.
Danny Hubbard came on to link up with Todd giving the Worksop defence
something else to think about. As Worksop looked for an equaliser,
Town found themselves under more pressure. Then with about four
minutes remaining a shot by the Worksop striker from close range
was brilliantly beaten away by James Aldridge; however for the first
time in the match the defence failed to clear properly and as the
ball was played back across the area it was rifled into the top
of the net for the equaliser. As Town went looking to regain parity,
Worksop countered and their attacker was allowed to turn in the
corner of the penalty area and shoot across James for an undeserved
winner. Despite losing the boys were fantastic and showed they are
as good as anyone in this Division. On another day.........
Parents player of the match was awarded to Liam Bucknall whilst
Calum Garfitt received the coaches award.

Town
travelled to bottom club Dinnington looking to bounce back after last
week's poor performance and goals from Curtis Mcleish and Todd Mallender
ensured it was all smiles back down the M1 with a hard fought 2-1
victory. Although bottom, Dinnington's recent results suggest that
they are competitive and today was no exception. Chesterfield controlled
the first half with the strong wind in their favour and went close
through a Calum Garfitt free kick which hit the top of the bar. 10
minutes before the break Town took the lead. Marc Wolstenholme fed
Danny Hubbard whose clever touch gave Curtis the advantage over his
marker. Curtis took the ball in his stride and unleashed a powerful
shot into the top of the net. Dinnington though kept battling and
Town had to thank keeper Nathan Whitworth for going into the break
a goal ahead; making a vital save after the defence was caught square.
Town pushed on in a competitive second half and should have killed
the game but failed to capitalise on at least three good chances.
Dinnington continued to threaten and equalised with 8 minutes left.
The ball finding its way to the Dinnington striker, who with plenty
of time, picked his spot in the corner.
With the game heading for a draw, Todd was fed the ball down the left;
he outpaced the defence and as the goalkeeper advanced, slotted it
past him for a last gasp winner.
A strong midfield performance by Harry Denton saw him take the parents
man of the match award whilst defender Toby Curtis received the Coaches
award.

entertained
Norton Lees at Stand Road buoyant
after last week's excellent victory, but they lived up to their reputation
as the Division's most inconsistent team losing 6-0. Town had the
better of the first 25 minutes winning the midfield but Norton looked
dangerous on the attack and Nathan Whitworth was the busier of the
two keepers with some vital saves to keep Town in the game. As the
half time approached Norton took the lead; Town paying the price for
some poor defending. Within minutes Danny Hubbard was caught whilst
turning in the area. He picked himself up to take the penalty but
put it wide. Norton then went down the other end and again poor defending
left Nathan exposed; 2-0 to the visitors. Chesterfield never really
got going after the break and had to thank second half keeper James
Aldridge for keeping the score down. a very useful Norton scored two
goals in quick succession midway through the second half to kill the
game and with Town heads down, another two to finish the game off.
A performance to forget. James Aldridge was awarded the Parents player
of the match whilst coaches award went to Curtis McLeish with Nathan
Whitworth not far behind.

Town
entertained 2nd place and unbeaten Wisewood to Stand Road, looking
to revenge their 2-0 defeat when the side last met in October.....and
they didn't disappoint with a very good all-round team performance
to win 3-1.
Wisewood started confidently and threatened Town from the first
whistle. Their reward was to go a goal up after only 5 minutes.
Poor marking from the corner allowing a free header from the Wisewood
captain and 1-0. Town gradually started to play themselves back
in the game and once Simon reverted to a traditional back 4 they
started to get on top. Matthew Burke almost equalised, only to find
the visitors goalkeeper pull off the first of many excellent saves.
20 minutes into the game Town got the deserved equaliser. Left back
Liam Bucknall won the ball and released Todd Mallender down the
line; Todd took on and outpaced the Wisewood defence finishing calmly
1-1. Five minutes later Todd got into double figures for the season;
this time it was Harry Denton who cleverly split the defence for
Todd to run onto and a carbon-copy finish; 2-1.
The second half saw Town dominate in all areas. The defence comfortably
dealt with Wisewood's efforts as the midfield won the battle. Todd,
Danny Hubbard and Captain Curtis McLeish continued to cause problems
with Calum Garfitt keeping their right side busy. Curtis hit the
post, Danny forced the Wisewood keeper into another great save and
even Liam hit one from 30 yards out which just sailed over. As the
game entered the last five minutes Curtis and Todd combined down
the right and it was the captain who coolly placed the ball wide
of the keeper for 3-1, as the ball rebounded to him on the edge
of the area. A good three points and although it doesn't move Town
up the table from 6th, it does keep them in touch with those who
have designs on promotion. Difficult to choose who the players of
the match were given the all-round team performance, but Parents
award went to Matthew Burke and Coaches to Harry Denton. Well done
to all; great performance.

Town
travelled to last year's Division C winners Charnock, buoyant after
last week's victory. However it was the hosts who are rapidly turning
into Town's bogey side, who ran out 3-1 winners. Charnock are a
fairly big side physically who play on a very small pitch and with
the recent rain turning parts of it boggy, Town struggled to play
their football of last week. In saying that, Town did dominate the
first half and had enough chances to score but found themselves
frustratingly 2-0 down as the half-time whistle blew. Charnock's
second right on the whistle.
The second half turned in a scrappy affair as the pitch began to
cut-up, which suited the home side more, and Town found themselves
on the back foot. However with 12 minutes left Danny Hubbard was
fouled in the area and the ref finally awarded a penalty (after
clearer cut appeals were waved away in the first half). Danny picked
himself up and scored his first for the club on the rebound after
the keeper saved his spot kick. All sensed an equaliser but 3 minutes
later Charnock sealed the game, as the ball, despite several tackles,
ricochet to the Charnock forward who couldn't miss from 6 yards
out.
Player of the match picked by the parents went to Matt Burke whilst
the coaches' award went to Harry Denton.

u13's
travelled to Brinsworth Whitehill and came away with an emphatic
10-3 victory. Man of the match Marc Wolstenholme scored 5, Captain
Curtis Mcleish scored a hat-trick and the Coaches player of the
week Todd Mallender got 2 in an excellent all-round team performance.
Town actually stated sluggishly and found themselves a goal down
within two minutes as the defence failed to deal with the hosts
first attack. However the lead was short lived as Curtis got his
first after a great ball from Callum Garfitt. Marc made it 2-1 10
minutes later after a great move, but Brinsworth equalised after
another defensive error. Town looking the more threatening took
the lead again after 25 minutes with Curtis getting his 2nd; and
Todd gave the team a two goal half-time cushion after some great
team football.
Once again Town stated slowly after the break and allowed Brinsworth
back into the game. Lack of communication allowed Brinsworth to
win the ball close to Town's penalty area and a shot over the keepers
head brushed the underside of the bar and into the back of the net.
For the next 10 minutes Brinsworth and Town matched each other in
the middle but it was Todd's second which regained Town's 2 goal
lead and kick-started a period of some excellent attacking football.
Curtis scored his hat-trick to make it 6-3 and then Marc took over
scoring 4 goals in 18 clinical minutes; his last a wonderful lob
over the keepers head on the final whistle which lifts Town above
their hosts on goal difference. There are not many better passing
teams in the League when the boys are on their game like today.
Great performance well done!!

Town
lost to the bottom team for the second time in three weeks despite
outplaying their opponents for the majority of the game. For once
Town started quickly and should have been at least 3 goals up after
only 15 minutes but didn't take their chances. Hoyland rode their
luck as Town continued to create chance after chance but just couldn't
find the back of the net. The visitors odd flurry into Town's half
caused few problems and as half-time came everyone was left scratching
their heads how it had remained 0-0. For the second half Town had
to change the back line slightly due to a Corey Dixon injury. This
seemed to catch everyone cold as Hoyland attacked from the restart
and a hopeful cross found the visitors forward unmarked for an easy
finish and shock 1-0 lead. Hoyland with renewed confidence almost
went two ahead 5 minutes later but for a great save from James Aldridge
who palmed the ball onto the bar. Todd Mallender then found himself
one on one with the Hoyland keeper but couldn't convert. The rest
of the half saw Town press for the equaliser but squander more chances.
Hoyland relying on the counter attack finally got the reward for
their resillience and virtually sealed the game with 5 minutes remaining;
again Town failing to clear from their own area. There was still
time for Marc Wolstenholme to score with a delighful chip over the
excellent Hoyland keeper but there was not enough time to find the
equaliser. A very frustrating morning for all especially as the
boys played some great football.
Parents player of the match went to Marc Wolstenholme whilst coaches
player was Callum Garfitt.

Town
got back to winning ways with a very good victory over Brinsworth
Whitehill at Stand Road. Coming off the back of 4 straight defeats
and despite missing key players including the captain; Town started
brightly and passed the ball well. Their reward for a good start
came from Callum Garfitt whose fierce shot opened the scoring despite
the keeper getting a hand to it. The rest of the half belonged to
Town who played some great football: their best for a few weeks.
When Brinsworth did threaten, the defence held firm and Town went
into the break 1 goal to the good. Any advantage Town had disappeared
within minutes of the restart as a soft penalty decision saw Brinsworth
equalise from the spot. The visitors now with more confidence matched
Town in an even second half. After top scorer Todd Mallender himself
had a penalty saved, Town finally got the winner through Raymond
Harrison with 8 minutes remaining. As the ball bounced across the
area Raymond reacted quicker than everyone else and banged it home.
Town defended stoutly as Brinsworth looked for the equlaiser and
could have had a third in the end. Parents player of the match went
to Callum Garfitt whilst coaches player was Liam Bucknall.

A lacklustre
first half performance from Town cost them dear as bottom club Dinnington
won their first game of the season 1-0 at Stand Road.
Town struggled once again to get their passing game together as
their visitors scrapped and fought to go into the break a goal ahead.
The second half belonged to town who decamped in the Dinnington
half for almost all of the 35 minutes but failed to make the breakthrough.
Todd Mallender came closest turning inside the defender and rifling
a left foot shot into the top corner only to be denied by a fantastic
save by the Dinnington keeper. A fourth straight defeat for Town
and a habit that needs breaking very quickly. Parents player of
the match went to Harry Denton whilst Coaches player was Callum
Garfitt.

Town
hit the road again and for the third week running travelled home
empty handed. This time Norton Lees, who were promoted with Town
last season, the victors by the odd goal in 5. Town struggled to
get their passing game together in the first half against a battling
Norton team who were quick in the tackle. A fairly even first half
saw Norton go in 1-0 up as a shot found the gap between the underside
of the bar and keeper James Aldridge outstretched hand. Town started
the second half better and on the front foot looking for the equaliser.
This allowed Norton to counter and they scored two further goals
which flattered them as Town's defence became exposed. Town though
never gave up and with less than 5 minutes remaining top scorer
Todd Mallender pulled one back with a great strike. Two minutes
later Raymond Harrison coolly finished; his first for the club.
Town went looking for the equaliser; unthinkable only minutes earlier,
but it was too late. A goal earlier in the game and it would have
been a different outcome.
Parents man of the match for the second week running was Corey Dixon
with Marc Wolstenholme getting the Coaches player award.

Town
travelled North to Wisewood but came away empty handed in a disappointing
2-0 defeat. Despite
a joke of a pitch; smaller than a postage stamp, sloping and with
the centre of the crossbars held together by Duck tape!! Town played
some great football. The only thing missing as the half time whistle
blew was a goal with both Marc Wolstenholme and Todd Mallender having
chances cleared off the line. The second half saw Wisewood start
better and they took the lead with a scrappy goal as Town failed
to clear from a corner. Town continued to press looking for the
equaliser and as another move broke down Wisewood counter attacked
and a cross-cum-shot looped over James Aldridge for a 2-0 lead.
Town's effort to get back into the game could not be faulted but
on a very tight pitch found the breakthrouugh difficult. Parents
player of the match went to Corey Dixon with the Coaches player
to non-stop Matthew Burke.

Town
travelled to A Division Greenhill with some confidence after a good
start to the season. Against one of the favourites for the league
they held their own for 25 minutes with first half keeper Nathan
Whitworth in great form making some vital saves. Greenhill then
scored a scrappy goal from close range and the course of the game
changed. Two more quick goals before half-time flattered the hosts
and at 3-0 Town needed a second half of epic proportions to get
back into the game. Alas that wasn't to be and despite plenty of
effort Town conceded four more as a good Greenhill side took advantage
of tired legs. Disappointing to concede 7 goals; some work to do
at training. Man of the match today went to Nathan Whitworth for
a great first half performance

Another
good performance from the u13's as they travelled back from Barnsley
with all three points beating Hoyland Common Falcons 3-1. Town started
very well and were 1-0 up after eight minutes. Captain Curtis Mcleish
releasing Todd Mallender for a cool finish and his 5th of the season.
Despite a lot of possession on a tight pitch and some good football
Town were unable to add to the score as half-time arrived.
Town's dominance finally paid off early in the 2nd half as Marc
Wolstenholme headed past the oncoming goalkeeper following a great
ball from Connor Davies. Chesterfield continued to control the game
and Alex Lambert got his first of the season with 10 minutes remaining.
Hoyland did score a consolation with minutes left but they were
outplayed today by a confident Chesterfield Town. Parent's man of
the match went to Curtis McLeish whilst the Coaches player of the
week went to Connor Davies.

U13's
first home game of the season saw them put in an excellent performance
to beat old rivals Hillsborough Puma's 7-1. Curtis McLeish set the
ball rolling after 5 minutes following a great pass from Callum
Garfitt. Callum scored the second himself from a tight angle after
a great ball from Raymond Harrison and Todd Mallender added a third
before half-time.
Pumas came out looking to reduce the deficit quickly but Town stood
firm and added a fourth after 15 mins of the second half; Todd getting
his second and fourth in two games. Pumas rallied and pulled a goal
back before Curtis added his second with a great free-kick, Matthew
Burke and then Marc Wolstenholme with a powerful shot over the keepers
head completed the rout.
Very
difficult to pick players out as all played their part magnificently.
However parent's man of the match went to Callum Garfitt, whilst
the Coaches player of the week for a good performance at both training
and today's game went to Raymond Harrison.

Town
u13's first game back in Division B ended in defeat going down 3-2
at Bramley Sunnyside. Town started sluggishly and fell behind within
3 minutes. Against a strong wind Town found it difficult to get
a foothold and Bramley took full advantage to score two further
first half goals.
With the wind now behind them, Chesterfield started the second half
perfectly with Todd Mallender scoring after 1 minute of the restart.
Town now rejuvenated dominated the play and Todd scored his 2nd
with a great strike 25 minutes later. Despite constant pressure
Town couldn't find the deserved equaliser and Bramley had to rely
on a poor decision by the referee who judged Todd to be offside
as he looked to complete his hat-tick with only the keeper to beat.
Why do Sheffield Referees insist on playing without linesmen?
A great second half comeback and an undeserved defeat. Parent's
man of the match went to Todd Mallender whilst the Coaches player
of the week for attitude and effort went to newby Danny Hubbard.
