Match Info: Lower Breck (A), Sat 16th Sep, 3pm KO

The Anfield area of Liverpool is nestled in football history and that’s where we head on Saturday.

Andy Welsh’s side face Lower Breck, who played just under a mile away from the home of Liverpool. It was a 1-1 draw last time out against Longridge, the goal coming from Benito Lowe who scored started his first game since his return from injury.

The players have had a well-earned rest with no game in midweek, so two sessions in training this week to prepare for this fixture.

Former Clitheroe player Ben McKenna joined the club last week and you can hear from him speaking to Adam Clark below.
      In Opposition – Lower Breck
History
Lower Breck Football Club was founded in the summer of 2010 in the Tuebrook area of Liverpool. The aim on formation was to establish a youthful group of quality, committed players capable of challenging for honours in all future competitions in the years to come.

In the club’s first season they took the South Liverpool 2010/11 Youth Division Title which was a great achievement at the first time of asking. For the 2011/12 season, the club took on the challenge and step up in quality and moved to the highly respected Carlsberg West Cheshire Association Football League.

In the season that followed the club created history winning the West Cheshire League Title, The West Cheshire Youth Plate and The LCFA County Cup. History was made as no other club from the West Cheshire League had ever got their hands on the treble.The club was also been nominated for Merseyside Team of the Year 2011/12.

Again not wanting to stand still the club for the 2012/13 season joined forces with the highly respected and fast-growing Famous Grapes Football Club. The lads in their first season as an open-age side became a member of the Liverpool County Premier League’s 2nd Division. In keeping with tradition the lads won the 2nd Division title another remarkable achievement as this was their first year in adult football.

Not settling for just a domestic trophy the club embarked on a European Tour when they travelled over to Cologne Germany to take part in the 2013 Rheintal Trophy and in doing so brought home the winner’s trophy capping another trophy-led season for the lads.

For the 2013/14 season the club played their football in the Liverpool County Premier League’s 1st Division as Lower Breck FC. With hard work and dedication the club was aiming to be playing Premier League football the following season and that aim was realized when the lads clung on to the last remaining promotion spot.

With the step up to the Premier Division secured the club looked to secure their position amongst the very best the city had to offer and build a squad capable of challenging for a league title in the forthcoming years.

For the start of the 2015/16 season Lower Breck had grown from the one team the Moore family founded back in 2010 to the club now running five playing sides.

A Reserve, Sunday and two youth sides have all been added to the clubs roster of teams playing under the Breck Banner.

With the addition of these sides Lower Breck set their focus on growing into a strong established club and with growth on/off the field and the club pushed full steam ahead. In the 2016/17 season the Breck secured a domestic cup double winning the highly respected I-Zingari & George Mahon Cups.

In the 2017/18 season the club raised the bar even further and achieved greatness in Liverpool by winning all four competitions they played in and also going unbeaten throughout the whole campaign with a run stretching back to October 2016.

LCPL, LCFA, George Mahon & I-Zinagri Cup Champions a truly remarkable feat that some massive clubs in Liverpool never managed to achieve.

Lower Breck FC have made the swift transition from Youth side to North West Counties affiliated member Club in under 10 years.

Club Statement

Following a North West Counties Football League Management Committee meeting held on 6th September 2023, we have been notified of the League’s intention to fine the club £100 and deduct three points for fielding a player contracted to another club.

The club disputes this and is in the process of appealing to the Football Association. No sanctions will take effect until the appeal has been heard.

We know supporters will be severely disappointed to learn that we might lose hard earned points, as is Andy Welsh and his team. We would, however, ask for your patience as we go through the appeals process and will not be sharing any further information at this stage so as not to compromise that appeal.

In addition to the appeal, the club has now also made some process changes to mitigate against this risk in future. The volunteer involved in the transfer is no longer working with the club, and there is no evidence he knew of a problem. Neither the player nor any of the management team were aware of any concerns, and we would not play anyone where there was any known problem. There is nothing to be gained by blaming individuals given the specifics of this case.

The points deduction does not alter any of the results achieved to date. They all stand. There are 105 points up for grabs in our league campaign now. The focus is on continuing with our preparations and winning as many of those points as possible until the end of the season.

Match Info: Longridge Town (H), Sat 9th Sept, 3pm KO

We go again this weekend after picking up four points since last Saturday, with a win at home against West Didsbury & Chorlton and a point on the road at Wythenshawe in midweek, following a late penalty.

Shakeel Jones-Griffiths grabbed his first Bury goal with a header from a corner on Tuesday night and a returning Benito Lowe sent Gigg Lane into raptures last weekend when a spirited West fightback set up a nail-biting finish and a last minute winner. Get your highlights for both games at our YouTube channel HERE.

We head into the weekend sitting second in the league, behind early pace-setters, Kendal Town, by five points following the Mintcakes loss away at Colne on Tuesday night.

Andy Welsh, gave us his thoughts last weekend following the win over West Didsbury and how electric games at Gigg Lane are for the lads on the pitch:
    We are the season’s top-scorers in the league so far with 25 goals, so if you are looking for entertainment then Gigg Lane is the place to be at this moment at Step 5.

Our visitors, Longridge Town, head into the game in 22nd in the league but did secure their first league win of the campaign last weekend with a 6-0 drubbing of Skemelsdale United. They have lost all three away games this season however, a fact they will no doubt be looking to put right this weekend in the Gigg Lane sunshine.

Get all your pre-match information on the opposition, tickets, programmes, access to Gigg Lane, and much more in our details below.
  In Opposition – Longridge Town
Formed in 1996 when the two clubs of the town, United & St. Wilfrid’s came together with the aim of raising the standard of football in the town.

The previous two clubs had existing from as far back as the 19th century, so the experience was by no means novice, and the club quickly moved out of the local religious leagues they had taken part in for nearly a century and through the Preston & District and then West Lancashire Leagues before being promoted to the NWCFL in 2018.

They quickly moved into the Premier Division following a successful first season, finishing as Champions. They have remained at this step since that point.

For more information on Longridge, head to their NWCFL page HERE.
