Latest Match Reports
We completed our first season in the Derby league on Thursday 16th April with 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss from our seven matches; scoring 6 and conceding 4. Five of our six goals on the day were scored by Neil McKinnon including a second half brace in our last match against Bramcote which turned a 2-0 deficit into a well-earned draw.
We have acquitted ourselves well in our first season and there is a strong appetite within the squad to go again and to use our experiences this season to be even more competitive next year.
The Spireites finished their first season 3rd out of 8 which is a great achievement. The first season in the league has been a massive learning curve for the Club which gives us hope that we will be even stronger next season.
Latest Cup Reports
On Thursday 19th February the Spireites played their cup draw against Nottingham Reds which was to be the best of 3 x 15-minute matches.
Unfortunately, for the Spireites they lost the first two games 2-0 and 2-1. Whilst the team played their usual quick passing game it wasn’t to be. Neither of the two top scorers Terry and Neil were available on the day and the Spireites' inability on the day to put the ball in the back of the net leaves them out of the cup for this year.
