March 2010 There's
snow business like snow business RUMOUR |
|
The
2009/10 season has possibly seen the most amount of fixtures cancelled in
Redmires club history. With it snowing constantly from November 2009 to
March 2010, Redmires have only played 7 games in the last 4 months and the
fitness of the squad has reach an all time low with Del Siggs skinning many
players from his role of sweeper-keeper in training. Club captain Des Pike
has called for all players to follow his example, stay off the booze and
junk food, get regular exercise and if you are snowed in get out the
subbuteo and live the dream.

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.

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. Reports
have come in that Hardisty was last seen (still in his football kit) at
1.00am on Tuesday morning in the Hillsborough shopping area and we are
asking anyone who might have seen him to contact us immediately (we need his
kit back for Sunday).

Taylor
gets plastered - RUMOUR |
|
Goalkeeper Karl Taylor has confirmed that his great start to the season has
to be put down to his pre-season training regime. Taylor commented "I
have to thank the Coaching of Luke Siggs, he informed me at the start of the
season that I needed to improve my strength over the summer and then set me
a strict training regime to achieve my goal... 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!" Siggs was unavailble for
comment although his answer phone message did say "For all your
plastering needs contact Karl Taylor on 0114 2** **** Quote SIGGS for
special discount".

going through a period of low self esteem and it is important for his
strike partner to be understanding' lied leading German 'performance'
