⚽ FULL TIME 🔵Dearne & District Ladies 0–3 Penistone Church Women⚫️ Another three points on the road for Church! 🙌 We created plenty of chances in the first half before Ava Rhodes-Smith finally broke the deadlock, smashing a driven finish into the roof of the net.

Some excellent work down the left from Alice Norman created the opportunity for
PCFC 2 - 2 Pickering Town - Reaction
Another close NCEL Premier Division encounter yesterday at the Simply Log Cabins Memorial Ground. Not much to choose between Church and Pickering from a footballing point of view by half time, but somehow Church were 2-0 down and facing a stern challenge to get back into the game. Pickering hit 2 quick fire goals within a couple of mins early in the first half, one a really well taken finish and one on the back of a defensive mix up. 2-0 flattered Pickering at that stage b

Knaresborough 2 - 0 PCFC
Church are knocked out of the NCEL League Cup at Knaresborough after a fairly mediocre game of few chances. It was pretty uninspiring stuff all round this evening, with nothing really between the two sides. Jubby speaks with Dave Hampshire below about 2 set pieces being the difference and a bit more hunger and desire from the home side on the night, which was disappointing. Church fielded a much changed team giving players an opportunity that have so far had less minutes th

🖤🤍 MATCH DAY | Under 14 Whites 🖤🤍
After a pre-season focused on recruiting new players the U14 whites took the opportunity of an early free Saturday in the league season to take on a friendly against our good friends at Thorncliffe Villa. A very competitive game of football with Thorncliffe coming out on top; scoring a couple of late goals as Church chased the game.

Penistone Church 1–7 Rawmarsh St Joseph’s
A tough result for the girls yesterday as we were beaten 7–1 by a strong and well-organised Rawmarsh St Joseph’s side.
