After a long lay off we finally get back to league action with a home game against our friends at
@broctonfc
when
@Neil_Beasley
brings his exciting
@broctonfc21s
side to the Trade Tyres Community Stadium this weekend. If it’s anything like the away leg we are in for a treat.
What a guy. Gives up shit loads of time for non league football and sponsors matches at his local club. Top man
@BrooksyTV
There’s a drink waiting for you behind the bar.
We have a match sponsor 🙌
It’s only the man himself
@BrooksyTV
sponsoring tomorrow’s game! Much appreciated 😊
If you want to see local goals along with entertaining commentary then
@BrooksyTV
is the place for you 🤳⚽️🥅
Great to have
@Joelhill03
back in the fold today after a short spell away. One of the nicest lads in football and a tidy player as well. Hopefully the injury that forced him off today is not too serious.

@LichCFC_Academy
@GreenIvor
What a great example
@_dlewis79
is to young lads wanting to break into men’s football. Chose game time & environment over levels, showcased his ability with regular game time and got the moves his attitude & application deserved. Unbelievable talent, even better human being 👏
Saturday saw the league draw to a close for
@U21City
with us finishing 2nd in the MFL U21 North West division. We were part of some highly competitive games, against some top teams and Managers, and we look forward to seeing many of the young talented players we crossed paths 1/2
Unbelievable performance from
@U21City
today with an explosive start to the game, blowing the opposition away with 3 goals in the first 8 mins. MOTM, with a hatrick and an assist, was
@george_okoye
but honourable mentions to
@liambrehany
and
@joe_edwards250
who were immense.
What a player this kid is, over the moon to see him going up the levels after pulling up trees for us last season. There is a reason he wins players player season after season.
Starting 11 v
@AllscottU21
today. Exciting game for the watching few with chances a plenty. The lads showed real spirit today, coming back from 2-0 down to win 4-3 with a hat-trick from MOTM
@kyleadams111
and a debut goal from Nolan.
Great night for the end of season presentation last night
@lichfieldcityfc
Been an absolute pleasure working with this group of very talented players and we look forward to watching them progress through the levels over the years to come.
Today’s starting 11 v
@TheMikesU21
Fair play to Boldmere, whilst the sending off didn’t help us, they were the better team on the day. Lessons learnt, we go again.
Today’s starting 11 vs the U21’s from
@themikesfc
A clinical hat-trick from
@Owennolan__
and a smart finish from Milesy to put the game to bed after Boldmere threatened to stage a late come back. MOTM was Dan Morgan with an outstanding performance between the sticks 🧤
with playing at higher levels in the coming years. Thanks to
@mick_baikie
&
@jamolichvegas
for supporting the lads with challenging training sessions every week and to
@lichfieldcityfc
for providing the platform for this talented group of lads to develop. 2/2
Next up for
@U21City
we host the U21’s from
@themikesfc
at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium. It’s free entry and promises to be a cracking game
@TheMikesU21
Today’s starting 11 v Birmingham Tigers. A solid performance from the Tigers and a MOTM display from their keeper keeps it close but it’s another 3 points for
@U21City
MOTM for Lichfield was
@burnside_lewi
Nice to start the season with a win. A hat-trick would normally secure MOTM but not this time as
@marcus_baikie
had his best game for the U21’s since signing and a tenacious CM performance in the 2nd half secures the accolade for him.
Weather beat me this morning had to go at Half Time, absolutely drenched, totally wearing wrong clothing and footwear. Finshed

in an early KO at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium hoping to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.
Next up for
@U21City
we host the U21’s from
@StaffordTown1st
at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium. The away fixture at Stafford was a fiercely contested affair that ended 2-1 in our favour after going a goal down and having to ride our luck at the death.
Next up for
@U21City
we travel to Boldmere to play the U21’s from
@themikesfc
When Boldmere visited
@lichfieldcityfc
last month it was a great advert for U21’s football with two very good sides battling it out in a tight contest.
Crazy game and in the depths of injury time Goldie shows nerves of steel to race clear of the
@broctonfc
defence and calmly slot past the stranded keeper to win it 4-5. MOTM for
@U21City
was Connor Golden with a hat-trick just when we really needed it 👏
Starting 11 v
@RangersU21s
yesterday. A great test for our boys playing a team that had 4 first team lads in their 11 for the full 90 mins and only coming unstuck on a corner when we were down to ten men whilst our Captain received treatment for a knock.
Yesterday’s starting 11 v
@SCTFC
U21’s. An excellent advert for U21 football in the
@MidlandLeague
saw us come out on top in a fast & furious 90 mins of relentless attacking football from both sides. Difficult to pick a MOTM in such an intense game, has to be a team award.1/2
We finally get to play away at Brocton after a number of close encounters between the two sides being hosted at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium. This one promises to be a great game with both teams currently going well.
@broctonfc
@broctonfc21s
@Neil_Beasley
Today’s starting 11 away at Stafford Town. A game of missed chances that was far from a classic but sometimes you have to win ugly. MOTM was Dom Lewis, absolute machine in midfield today.
Wishing former swifts player Dom Lewis & all at
@lichfieldcityfc
all the best in today’s step 5 play off final!
Dom played 30/30 games for us last year & won many MOTM & POTY awards, just shows what playing consistently can do for a young players development!
Good luck lads 🤝
@BrooksyTV
@SwiftsBolehall
@CraigHaywood3
Ultimately we ran out of steam with 6 games in 12 days too much for the squad with long term injuries to key players and impacted by absences in vital games. Out of our hands now, good luck to
@FairfieldVilla
and
@littleton_fc
two good clubs with some great people involved
Today’s starting 11 vs
@FcU21s
A formidable performance sees us win comfortably at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium. Really difficult to pick a MOTM given the quality of everyone’s performance.
Starting line up for
@U21City
against the U21’s from
@SCTFC
today. Sutton started the brighter and inflicted our first loss of the season in a high energy game that ended 3-4. Lots of positives and also lessons learnt from the negatives, we move on to next week.
@U21City
are looking forward to hosting
@shrewsburydc
at the Trade Tyres Community Stadium in the first league game of the
@MidlandLeague
season this Saturday. 10.30ko, £3 entry.
@lichfieldcityfc
Amazing to think we are a week away from December and the lads have only just lost their first league game. Unbelievable effort from everyone involved 👏
And a first goal for Jordan which killed the game off just as
@AllscottU21
threatened to get back in. Score line doesn’t do them justice though as they played some great football at times. Top group of lads & management team.
Fair play to
@SCTFC
U21’s who managed to get to the week before Christmas before losing their first game. The lads are clearly very well coached & managed and are a credit to Paul, his Coaches and the club. Ultimately 2 smart finishes from
@george_okoye
clinched it for
@U21City
In the final group game of the TRM Cup we face
@broctonfc21s
as
@Neil_Beasley
& his lads make the short journey over to the Trade Tyres Stadium
@lichfieldcityfc
Should be another great game but unfortunately due to Covid related restrictions there are still no spectators allowed
@BrooksyTV
@SwiftsBolehall
@CraigHaywood3
Having only played once between the end of Oct & Boxing Day meant the backlog of fixtures was always going to catch up with us but we gave ourselves a punchers chance by picking up points against in form sides that nobody outside of our dressing room expected us to get. 2/3
We are looking for friendlies on Apr 2nd & 9th. We have our home pitch booked for a 10.30 Ko on the 2nd so will just need to split costs on the officials. On the 9th we would need to play away. Happy to play U21’s, Reserves or first teams but would need to be morning Ko’s.
@BrooksyTV
@SwiftsBolehall
@CraigHaywood3
@CraigHaywood3
is a proper footballing man
@BrooksyTV
and an unbelievably supportive Chairman who has already put in a tremendous amount of work at the club. A top man who should be proud of the strides he’s taken in a relatively short space of time. 1/3
We are still looking for an away fixture on Sat 9th April. Happy to play U21’s, Reserves or first teams but needs to be a morning KO. We are also looking for opposition for Thurs 14th April, 20.00 Ko at Lichfield City. If anyone is interested please DM us.
We are back in action this Saturday at
@lichfieldcityfc
in the semi final of the TRM Cup against the U21’s from
@Romulus_fc
when
@beaver983
brings his lads for what promises to be another cracking game.
The good old days when Blues were far less shit! How did Leeds go down that season with the likes of Robinson, Kelly, Harte, Radebe, Pennant, Viduka, Smith, Barmby etc in their squad 🤯
