Sports’ Youngsters Cruise into Next Round of FA Youth Cup
Mickleover Sports u18’s won 5-0 against Aylestone Park FC last night in the FA Youth Cup.
A hat trick from Brodie Carter, as well as goals from Niall Cole and Josh Satchwell, was more than enough to see them through to the next round where they will play Chesterfield u18s at the Proact Stadium.
Jay McGrath, Jack Thatcher, Finn Parkin and Marcus Calderone were all present having already made their debuts for the senior team.
The future is bright as Sports to build new 3G pitch
We are very excited to finally announce plans for a new 3G pitch. Work will commence next year in April and it will be used by the first team as well as the academy and junior teams.
Furthermore, it will be available to hire for local clubs as a way to increase revenue for the club, as well as offering local grass-roots teams the opportunity to play or train on a high quality playing surface.
We are also delighted to announce that we have plans to build Tennis and Bowls facilities that will also be available for the local community, start dates for these will be released in due course. All of this aims to bring the community of Mickleover together which is a very important mission for the club.
Finally, we would like to thank Paul Coxon from the CIC board for all his hard work on achieving planning permission, as well as Mickleover Cricket Club. Also, a special thank you must go to the Junior Football Committee for all their help and support.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL DAY! Hyde United (H): Match Preview
Mickleover Sports are in need of as much local support as possible this coming weekend as they take on 10th placed Hyde United. With a three week period without a game followed by a disappointing 3-0 defeat away to Marine, Sports are really in need of a win to regain the confidence and form that was on show at the start of the year. Teams around Sports including Workington, Grantham Town, Lancaster City and Marine have been picking up good results so Sports now need to start doing the same and really need the support of our home crowd. With this in mind we are offering all kids of junior clubs in the local area FREE admission and their parents only paying £2 each!
LAST TIME OUT
Hyde United were last in action last weekend as they were defeated 2-1 at home by Derbyshire Rivals Matlock Town. A Nicholas Pratt goal either side of goals from Luke Hinsley and Craig Westcarr for the Gladiators saw Hyde on the wrong end of the scoreline. Sports last game was of course the 3-0 away defeat to Marine in Liverpool last weekend.
SPORTS TEAM NEWS
Nathan Jarman will serve the final game of his suspension this weekend. We believe Ricky Ravenhill will return from his suspension this weekend. Pablo Mills was out with a shoulder injury last weekend and it is unclear if he will have recovered in time. Boss John McGrath and Czech striker Tomas Junek also both had to come off last weekend with knocks but both should be ok for the weekend. Everyone else is presumed fit and available for selection.
GOING TO THE GAME?
The game is a 3pm Kick Off at the Don Amott Arena on Station Road, Mickleover, DE3 9FB with Admission Prices set at £10 Adults and £7 Concessions. Don’t forget that all kids of local junior teams are FREE with parents only paying £2 for entry each! Derby County & Burton Albion Season Ticket Holders not going away with their teams are being encouraged to come along to support their local non league side with reduced admission of £7 on production of their club’s season ticket at the turnstile. The bar and snack van will be open as usual serving hot and cold drinks and food before during and after the match. Your new look Sports Report Match day Programme will also be on sale at the turnstile for only £2! This features the thoughts of Chairman Don Amott and Manager John McGrath plus all your usual content.
NOT GOING TO THE GAME?
Then no need to worry, Press & Media Officers Sam & Kerry Goldsworthy will be at the game keeping you up to date via the usual platforms of Twitter & Facebook, with match reaction on Mickleover Sports TV (Youtube) after the game!

JUNIOR FOOTBALL DAY!!!! South Shields (H): Match Preview
Mickleover Sports are in need of as much local support as possible this coming weekend as they take on the league leaders South Shields. The Mariners from the North East are cruising at the moment having won their last six league games and are expected to bring a few hundred traveling supporters with them. After last weekends washouts at Workington and results going against them Sports find themselves third bottom inside the relegation zone, and will be desperate to climb out as quickly as possible. However it will be a difficult task this weekend against a club with ambition to reach The Football League. With this in mind we are offering all kids of junior clubs in the local area FREE admission and their parents only paying £2 each!
LAST TIME OUT
Last weekend South Shields cruised to victory thrashing Whitby Town 5-2, to continue their 100% home record this season. This was played in front of a whopping crowd of 1830 spectators. Sports last game was the 1-0 defeat at home to Gainsborough Trinity two weeks ago.
SPORTS TEAM NEWS
Nathan Jarman will serve the final game of his suspension. There were a number of players unavailable for last weekend which included Ben Turner, Shaquille McDonald, Evan Garnett and Kyle Carey. We expect to have some if not all of these players back in the squad for Saturday.
