County Senior League set for round of midweek games

EV2 Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League 

North Gawber celebrating winning the S&HCSL Premier Division in 2019

Reigning champions North Gawber start their Premier Division title defence tonight with the home clash against old friends Jubilee Sports.

Gawber didn’t play on the opening weekend so the clash is new manager Ian Shillito’s first competitive game at the helm.

The rest of the Premier Division matches take place on Wednesday night.

Danny Barlow has left home-town club Dodworth Miners Welfare and joined Swinton Athletic

Dodworth Miners Welfare will be without striker Danny Barlow for the visit of Hepworth United to Barnsley on Wednesday.

The former Shaw Lane Aquaforce and Penistone Church star has left his hometown club and signed for rivals Swinton Athletic.

The move ends his association with the club he has served from its reformation in 2016.

He will join a fierce front-line containing Sam Green, Justin Greenwood and Enzo Guarini.

He is in line to make his Swinton debut at Nathan Simms and Keith Mackie’s Houghton Main on Wednesday night.

Houghton will of course be hoping to bounce back from Saturday’s opening day defeat to Penistone Church reserves by pulling off a headline grabbing result against Swinton who are unbeaten in two years’ worth of league fixtures.

Jon Wragg’s Ecclesfield Red Rose 1915 head to High Green Villa hoping for a second consecutive victory.

Saturday’s 2-1 defeat of Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves saw ex-Harrogate Town midfielder Laurie Wilson make his debut for Ecclesfield.

Stocksbridge will be vying for local bragging rights in the derby clash with Oughtibridge at Bracken Moor.

The game is Oughtibridge’s first of the campaign.
