Snow Game for West End

The cold weather continues in Lincoln meaning AFC West End have now gone a month since their last competitive outing. This Sunday’s planned fixture with George & Dragon has now been postponed, following in the wake of the twice postponed cup tie with AFC Rustons. The Beers will try for a third time to face AFC Rustons in the Fred Quibbell Junior Cup next weekend, Sunday 17th January. The postponements have already added two weeks onto West End’s season with the George & Dragon game rearranged for Sunday 18th April and the match with Metheringham Reserves, originally scheduled for 17th January now moved to Sunday 25th April.

Beers in for Tough Ties in the Cups

With promotion to Division Three rendering AFC West End inelligable to compete in the Jock Mitchell Trophy the club’s cup assault will be limited to just two competitions this coming season. The Beers have won just two of their last eleven cup fixtures and have not triumphed in any cup since a depleted side which began the game with just nine men defeated FC Tennyson 3-1 in October 2007.

Dynamic Start in New Season Fixtures

AFC West End have been handed a home match against familiar foes to kick-off the new season. The Lincoln Sunday Football League fixtures released today have given West End a home game against Dynamo Varsity to begin the new campaign. However, The Beers will have to wait longer than most to sink their teeth into the 2009/2010 season as they have no match scheduled for the opening day of Sunday 6th September and instead will have to wait until the 13th before hosting Dynamo on the West Common.

Fixture Ammendments

With the new season now just days away AFC West End’s fixture list has undergone a slight makeover. The most pressing news is that the wait for the 2008/2009 season kick-off will now be a few hours longer as Sunday’s opening match at Tavern FC has been scheduled as an afternoon kick-off. As such AFC West End will now travel to Bishop Grosseteste College for a 1:30pm kick-off.
