11th April 2011 Sean Downing can score

Sean Downing has finally scored his first goal of the season. Coming in his 18th appearance of the season, the "Striker" finally bagged after 17 games of frustration. Downing had threatened a goal in midweek, when he finished a lovely move (after hearing the refs whistle for offside) but this Sunday he finally got one in the 2-0 victory at Rivelin. Downing made his debut for Redmires on the 15th October 2006 against Lord Nelson in the League, where he scored ALL FOUR GOALS in a 4-1 win. That season he finished with 7 goals in 18 games, his best return for the club. In 2007/08 he scored 5 in 18 games. In 2008/09 he scored 3 goals in 17 games and last season he scored 3 goals in 17 games. With 7 games to go this season, Downing will need to find a couple more goals to stop recording his worst scoring season for the club. Although a goal next Sunday in the Junior Cup Final would certainly go a long way to protect his status as a "big game goalscorer"

20th March 2011 Redmires are through to the S&H Junior Cup Final

Redmires are through to the Sheffield & Hallamshire Junior Cup Final on 17th April at Stocksbridge Park Steels Ground, Braken Moor. It's actually back to back appearances in the Junior Cup Final, having last entered the competition in 2004/05 season where they were narrowly beaten by Swinton WMC. Redmires will be hoping to go one better this time and will face Arbourthorne SWD.

17th March 2011 S&H Junior Cup Semi Final Review

The game of the day this weekend is the all-Blades Super Draw County FA Taylor & Emmet Sunday Junior Cup tie between Division One Redmires and Division Two Niagara at the Pheonix Sports Ground, when Redmires will be trying to reach the final for a second time, while for Niagara, the semi finals is a new experience. In Round One Nick Hickson, Chris Cotterill and Ben Palmer goals gave Redmires a comfortable 3-0 victory at Ecclesfield Albion, but Niagara had a much closer affair with Meadowhall Division Two leaders Penistone Church and after a Danny Cooper goal had been cancelled out, they only squeezed through with a last minute Danny Bainbridge goal. In Round Two, Niagara again had a close call. Bainbridge and Simon Staniforth goals were both cancelled out by Norton, the second when Brendan Burns put the ball into his own goal, but Bainbridge saved his blushes though by heading Niagara's winner. Redmires had it much easier at Hillsborough. An own goal set Redmires on their way and a Knaggs double, along with Liam Clark and Richard Waga marking their debuts with goals gave them a 5-0 victory. Round Three was a similar story for both of them. Despite conceding for the first time in the competition, four Knaggs goals and one each for Liam Clark and Andy Birks saw Redmires go comfortably through against Wordswoth, but Niagara had another titanic tie at Anstonians. A needless penalty, was tucked away by Bainbridge and Cooper doubled their lead. Bainbridge hit them on the break for his second, but Anstonians didn’t lie down though and helped by an own goal Ben Dronfield will have nightmares about, they fought back to force the game into extra time. Dean Constable put Niagara back in front only to see it cancelled out again, but a late diving header by Scott Wostenholme saw Niagara finally go through. In Round Four, Niagara fell behind at the Meadowhall’s John O Gaunt and although Tom equalised, Niagara were behind again at the interval. A Jamie Shepherd free kick brought Niagara level and in the final minute Cooper calmly beat the keeper to put Niagara into the last sixteen. Redmires went through at the expense of Division Two Junior Blades. James Kirkham headed Redmires ahead after just five minutes and Ben Palmer doubled the lead. Luke Siggs made it three before half time and although Richard Brailey pulled one back for the Blades, Knaggs hit a fourth for Redmires. In the quarter finals, for the first time,Niagara never looked in trouble against Meadowhall League Ridgeway Athletic and took the lead with a Bainbridge strike. Although Simon Staniforth had a penalty saved, Cooper soon grabbed Niagara’s second and Bainbridge’s seventh in the competition came in the final minute. Redmires had a much closer affair at Imperial League Earl Marshall. Both sides were unbeaten before the tie and although Earl Marshall took a half time lead from the penalty spot after Kirkham handled the ball in the area, Redmires took the game into extra time when a defender turn a Knaggs cross past his own keeper. With no further goals it went to penalties and keeper Karl Taylor became the hero with two penalty saves. In the quarter finals Niagara entertained Mexborough Wetherspoons and had a two goal lead at half time with a Danny Cooper strike and a horrendous back pass by a Mexborough defender that flew over his own keeper. The visitors hit back after the break to draw level, but Niagara went back in front with a Steve Simmons free kick. The visitors were struggling to cope with the pace of the Niagara forwards and Cooper, Bainbridge and Staniforth added three more. Ben Palmer gave Redmires the lead against Doncaster side Sprotbrough and Dave Knaggs grabbed their second just before the break with a great solo effort. Sprotbrough were back in the tie when they scored with ten minutes remaining, but soon after, Andy Dalby crossed for Knaggs ninth of the competition. Redmires’ Dave Knaggs and Niagara’s Danny Bainbridge are going to be key to their sides’ chances, but in Luke Siggs and Simon Staniforth, both sides have class elsewhere. Because Redmires have won every game in Division One, they will start slight favourites, but Niagara have dropped just two points in Division Two and have repeatedly shown they have the resilience to beat many good sides, so it is likely to be very close

14th September 2007 Redmires win the Merit Cup Final FACT

The Steve Gee Merit Cup went to CBC Premier Redmires as they overcame their Division One rivals Handsworth Old Boys 3-1 in a top quality final at the Look Local Stadium, Stocksbridge. The game was just five minutes old when Sean Downing raced onto a through ball to stroke the ball calmly past the Handsworth keeper, but if Redmires thought they were going to have it all their own way, they were very much mistaken. It was Handsworth that dominated the rest of the first half and after both Dean Smith and Trevor Jones had gone close, just before the break, Jones side-stepped a defender and the keeper to chip the equaliser. They weren't level for long though as Redmires again started the half quickly and after an almighty scramble in the Handsworth penalty area that saw the ball hit both the bar and a post, the ball fell to Danny Lindley to smash Redmires back in front. They extended their lead soon after when Andy Birks swivelled to fire home and only a terrific goalline clearance by Karl Atkins stopped Rob Womack adding a fourth. Handsworth did their best to get back into the game, but Redmires keeper Karl Taylor only had one save of note to make and the trophy went to Redmires.

1st November 2006 Hardisty Pays the Penalty - RUMOUR

Veteran Midfielder Mark Hardisty has reportable gone into hiding after his clumsy late tackle in the dying minutes of the game against Niagara almost cost Redmires the points. With less than ten minutes remaining Hardisty was punished for his lack of pace and chopped down a Niagara forward who had skipped past him in the box. Needless to say the penalty was saved by “Safe Hands” Taylor, but it was no consolation for Hardisty who walked from the field of play with his head down.

First I set about plastering four walls in his bathroom, followed by plastering the ceiling, then I had to fit two windows for him, tidy his cellar, hoover his lounge and wash the dishes... all in one day". Taylor continued "I've found muscles I never knew I had, but the worst thing is Siggs has lined me up plastering jobs for 3 other players in the side (Gambling, Milnes and Lawrence) I'm sure he's making a cut of the earnings!"
