Update 19/11/09: Last week's goal scoring hero Louis Blackwell is set to make his first start of the season in the Barkston Ash FA Activ8 Cup tie at Bardsey. Blackwell has not started a game since 2 May due to suspension and will use the game to prove his match fitness after his explosive twenty minute cameo for the 1st X1 against Hamilton Panthers. Anthony Jennings and Josh Brigham have both declared themselves fit after missing last week's victory at Haxby and are pushing for recalls. Gary Lumley and Andrew Woodall both miss the Barkston Ash FA Challenge Cup tie at Micklefield but Glen Littlewood has declared himself fit after not featuring since spraining his ankle during the victory at Wetherby Athletic in October.

Update 16/11/09: Both Kartiers sides faced reigning league champions at the weekend and both sides registered victories! The 2nd X1 bounced back after recent poor results to win 3-0 at Reserve A Champions Haxby. A much changed line up from the previous week's disappointing defeat at Old Malton worked hard for the victory which came thanks to a second half Jack Healey hat-trick. The 1st X1 shared a nine goal thriller with current Premier Division Champions Hamilton Panthers. The Beavers 1st X1 threw away a 3-1 half-time lead and found themselves 3-4 down midway through the second half. Enter stage left Louis Blackwell (who has not played since the York FA Senior Cup Final victory over Old Malton) who equalised with his first touch and then scored the winner to prompt wild scenes of celebration. Marcin Wolski and James Tweedie (2) were also on target during the stunning 5-4 victory. Its district cup action for both sides this coming weekend (21/11), the 1st X1 travel to Micklefield for a Barkston Ash FA Challenge Cup Quarter Final tie whilst the 2nd X1 travel to Bardsey in the Activ8 Cup, both games 1.30pm ko.

Update 13/11/09: Kartiers FC are hoping to bounce back after disappointing results last weekend. The 1st X1 welcome back manager Ian Jennings who missed the 1-1 draw with York St John University due to illness. Louis Blackwell is named in the squad for the first time this season for the visit of reigning Premier League Champions Hamilton Panthers, 2pm ko. Last seasons top scorer is now free to play after serving a lengthy suspension due to his sending off during the York FA Senior Cup Final back in May. Marcin Wolski also returns to the squad but Andrew Woodall, Grzegorz Mleczek and Glen Littlewood all miss the game whilst Gary Lumley faces a late fitness test on a leg injury. The 2nd X1 must show a positive reaction to last weekends shocking 0-10 defeat at Old Malton a performance manager Wayne Coulthard described as 'embarrassing'. Injuries to Anthony Jennings, Josh Brigham and Rob Neilson may force Coulthards hand although Craig Campbell, Daniel Fisk and Jack Healey are welcome additions whilst Wojciech Ankiewicz could make his league debut.

Update 01/11/09: The 1st X1's winning streak now stands at eleven games afer a penalty shoot out win over Poppleton in the York League Senior Cup. With no goals during the regulation ninety minutes it was down to who held their nerve during the dreaded shoot out. Crowther and Olsson both missed to put Poppleton on the brink of victory but keeper Jamie Hawksworth sent the shoot out into sudden death and then continued his heroics saving Poppleton's sixth penalty to win the tie 4-3. No such joy for the 2nd X1 who lost 1-5 at York St John University. Tom Grundy was on target for the second string but individual errors are proving costly at the moment with much work to be done with The Beavers young side. This Saturday (7/11) the 1st X1 host York St John University whilst the 2nd X1 travel to Old Malton, both games 2pm ko.

Update 30/10/09: The 2nd X1 travel to York St John University tomorrow for a Reserve League Cup tie missing skipper Dave Hawe and Daniel Fisk but the side is boosted by the return of Jack Healey, James Grundy and Josh Brigham. 1st X1 skipper Gareth Roberts misses the Senior League Cup tie at home to Poppleton whilst there are recalls for Craig Campbell and Grzegorz Mleczek. Both games 2pm ko.

Update 24/10/09: Two goals apiece from James Tweedie and Luke Crowther ensured that Kartiers FC reached the last eight of the York FA Senior Cup at the expense of the previously unbeaten Premier League leaders Haxby. The 4-2 win also makes it ten wins out of ten for The Beavers 1st X1 in all competitions. The 2nd X1 scored four goals at White Horse Church Fenton but still failed to win, going out of the York FA Junior Cup 4-1 on penalties after the scores were level 4-4 after extra time. Anthony Jennings, Johnny Breheney, Tom Littlewood and Steve Harkin were on target before the lottery of penalties which saw two of the goal scorers, Jennings and Harkin, miss from the spot. Its cup action for both sides once again next Saturday (31/10) with the 1st X1 hosting Poppleton in the York League Senior Cup whilst the 2nd X1 travel to York St John University for a York League Reserve Cup tie, both games 2pm ko.

Update 23/10/09: York FA Senior Cup holders, Kartiers FC, face a big test in their defence of the trophy when current Premier League leaders Haxby visit the James Street Recreation ground tomorrow with a place in the last eight of this seasons competition up for grabs. Glen Littlewood misses the game due to the ankle injury picked up last week at Wetherby and there are concerns about the availability of Gary Lumley and Ben Olsson whilst Marcin Wolski misses the game due to a toe injury. Jack Healey returns to the 1st X1 squad for the first time since the previous round of the cup, a 4-1 home win against Tate & Lyle. The 2nd X1 are sweating on the availabilty of Craig Hewitt and Josh Brigham as they travel to White Horse Church Fenton in the York FA Junior Cup. Adam Tessyman returns to the squad after missing last week's win at Wilberfoss and Alfie Griffiths replaces broken ankle victim Michael Smales in goal. James Grundy and Craig Campbell are other notable absentees.

Update 19/10/09: Both sides were victorious on their travels at the weekend but the Kartiers camp were rocked by injuries to key players. Keeper Mike Smales broke his ankle during the 2-1 Reserve Section A win at Wilberfoss, whilst Glen Littlewood received hospital treatment for what turned out to be a badly sprained ankle during the 1st X1's 3-2 away win at Wetherby Athletic. Everyone at Kartiers FC wishes both players a speedy recovery.

Tom Marshall registered his first goal in senior football and Craig Campbell also found himself on the score sheet as the 2nd X1 clinched all three points at Wilberfoss. Special mention to Daniel Fisk who replaced the unfortunate Smales in goal. The 1st X1 came from two goals down to reach the last eight of the Barkston Ash FA Challenge Cup. James Tweedie (2) and Andrew Woodall were the second half goal scorers as The Beavers beat Wetherby for the first time in four cup games. Its York FA Cup action for both teams this weekend (24/10) with the 1st X1 hosting Premier League leaders Haxby in the Senior Cup whilst the 2nd X1 face White Horse Church Fenton in the Junior version of the competition, the game switched to Church Fenton due to the 1st X1's game v Haxby. Both games 2pm ko.

Update 16/10/09: Marcin Wolski misses the Barkston Ash FA Cup tie away at Wetherby due to a call up into the Selby Town squad. Craig Hewitt, Craig Campbell or Grzegorz Mleczek are all in contention to replace Wolski. The 2nd X1 travel to Wilberfoss with only Simon Hewitt a definite absentee after his transfer to Tate & Lyle FC.

Update 11/10/09: The 2nd X1 lost for the first time this season with visitors York St John University proving too strong during a 0-3 win. Tom Marshall started for the first time this season making him the sixth 16 year old to make the starting X1 for the second string this season. The 1st X1 came back from a tough game at Wilberfoss with all three points thanks to a Ben Olsson strike in injury time. Marcin Wolski was absent due to a late call up by Selby Town with youngster Johnny Breheny coming into the squad for his senior debut. Breheney almost made a dream start to 1st team colours when he forced two terrific saves from the Wilberfoss keeper in the dying seconds of the game. This Saturday (17/10) the 1st X1 travel to Wetherby for a Barkston Ash FA Cup tie whilst the 2nd X1 visit Wilberfoss for a league fixture, both games 2pm ko.

Update 08/10/09: The Beavers 1st X1 travel to Wilberfoss this Saturday (10/10) hoping to extend their winning run to eight games. Skipper Gareth Roberts may return to the starting line up due to the absence of Craig Campbell whilst James Tweedie and Andrew Woodall both return to the squad. Tom Littlewood returns to the 2nd X1 squad for the home league fixture against York St John University, 2pm ko. James Grundy may make his debut whilst sixteen year old Tom Marshall is pushing for a start after impressing as a second half substitute during last week's draw with Wigginton Grasshoppers.

Update 03/10/09: Despite a late call off from striker James Tweedie due to illness, which forced a change to the starting line up, Kartiers FC cruised to a 5-1 win over visitors Wigginton Grasshoppers. Glen Littlewood joined Marcin Wolski in attack and it was Littlewood who put The Beavers into the lead when he scrambled home after the visiting keeper had made an excellent double save from Luke Crowther and Daniel Hewitt. James Barrett pounced to increase the lead after Matt Ward had struck the post and Jon Page made it 3-0 before the interval when he cut in from the right to fire home. Minutes after the restart Marcin Wolski fired home after Craig Campbell had headed a Crowther free kick back across goal before Wigginton pulled one back when a bizarre bounce from a hopeful long ball deceived Jamie Hawksworth in the Kartiers goal. Wolski wrapped things up with his second in the final minute to put the seal on a fine days work. The 2nd X1 came back from their trip to face the Grasshoppers Reserves disappointed not to have taken all three points, settling instead for a point after a 1-1 draw. Wigginton took the lead in the first minute after an error by keeper Mike Smales but Rob Neilson scored his third goal in as many games to ensure a share of the spoils. Next Saturday (10/10) the 2nd X1 play their first home game of the campaign when they host York St Johns University whilst the 1st X1 travel to Wilberfoss, both games 2pm ko.

Update 01/10/09: Skipper Gareth Roberts returns to the 1st X1 squad for the league game at home to Wigginton Grasshoppers this Saturday (3/10) but is expected to only feature on the bench as he recovers from the injury that forced him to miss the cup win over Tate & Lyle. Jon Page also comes into contention, as does Ben Olsson who has now served his three game suspension held over from his time at Riccall FC. Grzegorz Mleczek is the only notable absentee as the 1st X1 look to keep up the pressure on the Premier League leaders. Jack Healey has been released to strengthen a 2nd X1 squad who face their first league game of the season, an away game at Wigginton Grasshoppers. Craig Hewitt makes a welcome return to action having missed the last three games whilst Tom Marshall, a summer signing who has been sidelined throughout the pre-season with a toe injury, is included for the first time. Tom Littlewood misses the game due to injury.

Update 26/09/09: Three sixteen year olds were on target for the 2nd X1 during the 3-1 victory at Huby in the York FA Junior Cup. Rob Neilson claimed his second in two games whilst Josh Brigham scored on his debut and Tom Littlewood netted his first goal in senior football. The 1st X1 went one better defeating Tate & Lyle FC 4-1 as they began their defence of the York FA Senior Cup in fine style. Glen Littlewood continued his good goalscoring start to the season with a brace, Daniel Hewitt netted from the penalty spot and Matt Ward finished off a fine move to seal victory. The Beavers face a double header in the league next Saturday (3/10) with the 2nd X1 travelling to Wigginton Grasshoppers as they start their Reserve Section A campaign whilst the Grasshoppers 1st X1 travel to Selby to face the Kartiers first string, both games 2pm ko.

Update 24/09/09: The current strength of the Kartiers FC squad will be tested this weekend with Andrew Woodall, Jon Page, Ben Olsson, James Topping and skipper Gareth Roberts all missing the York FA Senior Cup tie against Tate & Lyle FC. Craig Campbell, Jack Healey and Johnny Breheney have all been included in the squad along with recent signing Jamie Hawksworth who replaces Mike Smales in goal. Smales features in the 2nd X1 squad who travel to Huby in the York FA Junior version of the competition. Richard Taylor makes his first appearance of the season and is joined in the squad by Steve Harkin, Josh Brigham and Daniel Fisk who all missed last week's 1-0 win at Stillington. Both games 2pm ko.

Update 21/09/09: Kartiers FC reached the second round of the Barkston Ash FA Challenge Cup after a 6-1 thumping of visitors Thorpe United. Marcin Wolski (2), Jon Page (2), James Tweedie and Grzegorz Mleczek were on target for the Beavers. The 2nd X1 fielded six players making their debuts for the club during the Reserve Cup tie away at Stillington and it was one of the debutants, Rob Neilson, who scored the only goal of the game as the Beavers second string marched into the next round. Cup action again awaits both teams this weekend, the 1st X1 face Tate & Lyle FC as they start the defence of the York FA Senior Cup whilst the 2nd X1 travel to Huby in the York FA Junior Cup, both games 2pm ko.

Update 18/09/09: There will be at least two changes from the side that defeated Dunnington last week when Kartiers FC entertain Thorpe United tomorrow (2.30pm ko) in the Barkston Ash FA Cup. James Topping has returned to University and Andrew Woodall misses the game due to concussion. Woodall received a blow to the temple area last Saturday and now awaits an appointment with a specialist before he is allowed to take the field again. Grzegorz Mleczek has been drafted into the squad along with Michael Smales, who replaces Gorczynski Krzysztof in goal, whilst James Tweedie is expected to take Woodall's place in attack. The 2nd X1 visit Stillington, 2pm ko, without a host of players but still travel with the full compliment. John Nurden is looking to make his debut for the club in a competitive game as do Tom Littlewood, Rob Neilson, Tom O'Neill, Wojciech Ankiewicz and Damian Steblewski. The Beavers second string have been totally re-built during the pre-season with the emphasis very much on youth but manager Wayne Coulthard wont witness the seasons opener due to the injury he sustained last week against Wheldrake, club stalwart Martin O'Neill takes charge for the day.

Update 14/09/09: League leaders Dunnington were beaten 1-0 by Kartiers FC at the weekend with The Beavers 1st X1 moving level on points at the top of the table with Dunnington and new league leaders Haxby. Glen Littlewood scored the all important goal early in the first half. Next Saturday its a break from league action with Thorpe United the visitors to James Street for a Barkston Ash FA Cup tie, 2.30pm ko. The second X1 completed their preparations for the new season with a disappointing 2-4 defeat against Wheldrake, the game played at York University. The game was marred by an injury to player manager Wayne Coulthard which held the game up for over thirty minutes with Coulthard receiving hospital treatment for a badly sprained ankle. The drama clearly affected the young Beavers second string who quickly found themselves 0-3 down but they rallied with goals from Tom Littlewood and Grzegorz Mleczek but Wheldrake held on and added a fourth to seal victory.

Squad: Griffiths, Harkin, Ankiewicz, Campbell, Neilson, Brigham, Healey, Jennings (A), Breheney, Littlewood (T), Tessyman. Subs, Steblewski, Coulthard, O'Neill, Hawe, Mleczek.

A Reserve League Cup tie away at Stillington starts the 2009/10 season for the 2nd X1, 2pm ko.

Update 10/09/09: The second X1 remain unbeaten during pre-season after a 2-0 win over Selby RSSC Reserves. Adam Tessyman gave The Beavers the lead at the interval and Jack Healey doubled the lead during the second half.

Squad: Griffiths, Harkin, Ankiewicz, Campbell, Neilson, Brigham, Healey, Jennings (A), Breheney, Littlewood (T), Tessyman. Subs, Steblewski, Wellblack, O'Neill.

Kartiers Reserves complete their pre-season programme with a game against Wheldrake this Saturday (12/9) at York University, 2pm ko. Its third against top this Saturday in the York & District Premier League as Kartiers FC host leaders Dunnington. Marcin Wolski returns to the squad after featuring in recent weeks for Selby Town FC whilst there is also a return for skipper Gareth Roberts. Ben Olsson and Craig Hewitt are missing from the squad that beat Old Malton last weekend.

Update 07/09/09: Kartiers FC moved up to third in the York & District Premier League table after a 4-2 victory over visitors Old Malton. Malton were one up at the interval but Kartiers hit back with goals from James Topping, James Tweedie and Andrew Woodall although Toppings header which resulted in the equalizer caused controversy as the ball appeared to have not crossed the line when both the match official and his assistant gave the goal. Malton pulled one back before Matt Ward made the points safe in injury time. There was a debut for keeper Gorczynski Krzysztof whilst Ben Olsson made a re-appearance in Kartiers colours after his last minute transfer from Riccall. This Saturday (12/9) Kartiers host Dunnington who currently top the table, 2pm ko. The 2nd X1 are in action this Thursday (10/9) when they play Selby RSSC Reserves, 6.15pm ko.

Update 04/09/09: Thorpe Veterans provided the opposition for the fourth pre-season friendly of the 2009/10 second X1 season with Kartiers Reserves running out 4-0 winners. Jack Healey opened the scoring during an even first half but second half goals from Johnny Breheney, Tom Littlewood and Josh Brigham helped seal a comfortable victory. Andrew Woodall and Gary Lumley made brief appearances to confirm their fitness after recent injuries whilst Daniel Hewitt gained much needed game time.

Squad: Griffiths, Harkin, Healey, Fisk, Taylor, Steblewski, Breheney, Hewitt (D), Brigham, Mleczek, Woodall. Subs, Littlewood (T), O'Neill, Hawe, Tessyman, Lumley, Campbell.

New signing Gorczynski Krzysztof guested in goal for the visiting veterans and has been included in the 1st X1 squad for this Saturdays (5/9) league game at home to Old Malton, 2pm ko. James Tweedie has returned to the club after missing all of last season and is expected to feature this weekend whilst youngster Rob Neilson, who has impressed in recent friendlies, has also earned a call up. Unfortunately, both Heworth FC and Nestle Rowntree have cancelled scheduled 2nd X1 fixtures and the club are working hard to secure further friendlies before the York League Reserve Cup tie away at Stillington on 19 September.

Update 30/08/09: The second X1 featured new signings Wojciech Ankiewicz and Damian Steblewski in the pre-season friendly at Selby Olympia FC. Tom Littlewood continues to impress and gave The Beavers the lead when he headed home an Anthony Jennings corner. Jennings was also the provider for the second when his wicked cross was diverted home by an Olympia defender to give Kartiers a 2-0 lead at the interval. Second half goals from James Barrett and Tom Littlewood, his seventh in three games, gave The Beavers a comfortable 4-1 victory.

Squad: Griffiths, Healey, Hawe, Taylor, Ankiewicz, Jennings (A), Neilson, Barrett, Steblewski, Littlewood (T), Campbell. Subs, Tessyman, Lucas, Fisk, Breheney, Coulthard.

This Thursday (3/9) Thorpe United Veterans provide the opposition for Kartiers Reserves, 6.30pm ko.

Update 28/08/09: Kartiers FC Reserves won the second of their pre-season friendlies 5-4 against Ouseburn. In an entertaining game for the spectators, Kartiers eventually overcame Ouseburn thanks to goals from Breheney, Tom Littlewood, Tessyman and two goals from new signing Ferris Wellblack.

Squad: Calvert, Lucas, Healey, Hawe, Fisk, Ward, Breheney, Topping, Neilson, Littlewood (T), Tessyman. Subs, Griffiths, Wellblack, Littlewood (G), Hewitt (S).

The 2nd X1 are next in action this Saturday (29/8) when they face Selby Olympia FC, 2pm ko.

Update 27/08/09: The season appears to have finally started for The Beavers who were worthy 3-1 winners last night at Riccall. Kartiers had to battle the elements during a hectic first half, strong winds and driving rain makng life difficult for the Kartiers defence who were boosted by the return of skipper Gareth Roberts. Marcin Wolski was a late inclusion in the starting X1 after previously making himself unavailable and his link up play with Grzegorz Mleczek kept the Riccall defence on their toes during a goalless first half. Riccall were awarded a penalty early in the second period but Michael Smales, making his 1st X1 league debut, brilliantly palmed the spot kick away. Luke Crowther made it three goals in four league games when he cooly slotted home after Mleczek's clever back heel had set up the chance. James Toppings goalbound header took a deflection to make it 2-0 before Riccall were awarded yet another penalty, which this time they converted, to make it 2-1. The tireless Matt Ward clinched the points for The Beavers in injury time with a great finish. The 1st X1 have no game now until 5 September when they host Old Malton whilst tonight the 2nd X1 play Ouseburn FC. On Saturday (29/8) the 2nd X1 are away at Selby Olympia FC and have further fixtures against Thorpe United Veterans (3/9) and Heworth FC or Nestle Rowntree (tbc) (5/9).

Update 25/08/09: Kartiers FC gained their first points of the season after a 4-2 win over Dringhouses. Marcin Wolski, making his first appearance of the season, and fellow Polish national Gregorz Mleczek, both scored their first goals for the senior side. Glen Littlewood and Luke Crowther completed the scoring. The games continue to come thick and fast, although quite ridiculously there are no league games this coming Saturday (29/8), with The Beavers making the short trip to Riccall. Marcin Wolski misses the game due to work as do James Barrett and Craig Campbell but there is a return for skipper Gareth Roberts. Gary Lumley also misses the game whilst Andrew Woodall is a doubt due to injury. This Thursday the 2nd X1 host Ouseburn FC, 6.30pm ko, and on Saturday travel over the river to face Selby Olympia FC as they continue their build up to the 2009/10 season.

Update 20/08/09: Two league games into the new season and alarm bells are already ringing as individual errors continue to haunt Kartiers FC as they slumped to a 3-6 defeat at Huntington Rovers last night (19/8). No Woodall, Roberts, Barrett or Blackwell hardly helped matters as a wafer thin squad attempted to gain something from what has become a bogey ground in recent years. However, the visitors took an early lead through Craig Campbell and were well worth it before an error by young keeper Calvert allowed Huntington back into the game. A Matt Ward scorcher regained the lead for the visitors before a simply shocking spell of error strewn football allowed Huntington to sweep into a 6-2 lead. Jack Healey struck a beauty from inside the centre circle for his first goal for the senior side to give the scoreline a modicum of respectability but 1st X1 manager Ian Jennings was far from happy with the way his side has started the season. 'We are all disappointed as we have played well enough in both league games and during the Temple Newsam Cup semi to have got something from the games but I cant do anything about individual errors. Its very frustrating but hopefully we have got things out of our system now and can start producing the results we all know we can'. Andrew Woodall is a doubt for Saturdays league game v Dringhouses, 2pm ko, due to a knee injury whilst James Barrett, Gareth Roberts, James Topping and the long term absentee, Louis Blackwell, all miss the game. The club are hoping to include at least one new signing against Dringhouses whilst Craig Hewitt and Richard Taylor are also in line for inclusion in the squad.

The 2nd X1 started their pre-season campaign in fine style with a 7-0 victory over Carlton based Oddies FC. Featuring a host of youngsters in a seventeen man squad, Tom Littlewood stole the show with four goals on his Kartiers debut whilst another debutant, Rob Nielson, also netted. Brogan Glavin made it a trio of sixteen year olds to find the net with his second goal of the pre-season whilst relative veteran Tom Grundy at seventeen years of age completed the rout.

Squad: Smales, Healey, Taylor, Hawe, Grundy, Breheney, Neilson, Hewitt (S), Brigham, Tessyman, Littlewood (T). Subs: Griffiths, Harkin, Fisk, O'Neill, Nurden, Glavin.

Update 18/08/09: The Beavers have made a disappointing start to the 2009/10 season, losing their opening league game to a new look Tate & Lyle FC 1-3 at the weekend and then following that up with a 0-2 defeat against Kippax FC last night in the semi-final of the Temple Newsam Cup. Another tough test awaits when they travel to Huntington this Wednesday (19/8) for a York & District Premier League game whilst the 2nd X1 start their pre-season with a friendly against newly formed Odddfellows FC from Carlton on Thursday (20/8), 6.30pm ko.

Update 11/08/09: Kartiers FC marched into the semi-finals of the Temple Newsam Cup after a 7-0 demolition of Garforth WMC. Despite an even opening quarter, the game was all over by the interval after The Beavers hit a remarkable six goals during a glittering twenty minute spell of attacking football. Gareth Roberts opened the floodgates when he headed home a Jon Page corner but then it became the Glen Littlewood show with the versatile player of the year from last season scoring an amazing four goals. Daniel Hewitt made it six from the penalty spot after his shot was handled inside the box and despite only adding one more goal during the second period, a Luke Crowther tap in, Kartiers cruised through to a semi-final tie against Kippax FC next Monday (17/8), 6.15pm ko.

Squad: Calvert, Lumley, Dickinson, Roberts, Hewitt (D), Barrett, Crowther, Ward, Page, Campbell, Littlewood. Subs: Topping, Glavin, Brigham.

Update 07/08/09: The Beavers continued the build up to the start of the Premier League season when a mixed X1 travelled the short distance over the river to tackle Selby Olympia FC last night (6/8) in a friendly. New signings Johnny Breheney and Josh Brigham featured for the first time this season and at the final whistle Kartiers fielded a team with an average age of just 20. Brogan Glavin, an own goal and a Jon Page effort gave the visitors a three goal lead before the hosts hit back to make the final score 3-2.

Squad: Griffiths, Lumley, Hawe, Roberts, O'Neill, Ward, Page, Jennings (A), Littlewood, Woodall, Glavin. Subs: Smales, Dickinson, Brigham, Breheney, Tessyman, Campbell.

Glen Littlewood and Michael Smales are both doubts for the third round Temple Newsam Cup tie against Garforth WMC on Monday, 6.15pm ko, after picking up knocks in the 3-2 win at Selby Olympia. James Topping, Daniel Hewitt, Luke Crowther and James Barrett all come into contention.

Update 04/08/09: Wayne Coulthard took charge of the 1st X1 as they started the defence of the Barkston Ash Temple Newsam Cup last night (3/8) away at West Yorkshire League side Boston Spartans. Late call off's and absentees disrupted preparations for the game but The Beavers still came away with a resounding 5-1 victory. Gareth Roberts gave the visitors the lead before The Spartans equalised to make it all square at the interval. The second half belonged to The Beavers with Luke Crowther, Matt Ward and Andrew Woodall, with a brace, sealing a second round tie next monday (10/8) against either Great Preston or Garforth WMC.

Squad: Smales, Lumley, Dickinson, Roberts, Hewitt (D), Littlewood, Crowther, Ward, Page, Woodall, Campbell. Subs: Topping, Glavin, Coulthard.

The next outing for The Beavers is this Thursday (6/8) when a mixed X1 is expected to face Selby Olympia, 6.30pm ko.

Update 31/7/09: It's been a busy pre-season for the current Barkston Ash FA Temple Newsam Cup and York FA Senior Cup holders. After winning the Senior Cup on 2 May, Kartiers FC held a very successful 5-a-side tournament in memory of KFC Legend Dave 'Willy' Williams which raised £459.73 for The Meningitis Trust. The club has now raised almost £6000 pounds for charity during recent seasons.

Training started at the end of June and almost 40 players have attended the sessions so far with the club pleased to announce a clutch of new signings. Brogan Glavin, Tom O'Neill, Tom Littlewood, Michael Smales, John Nurden, Alfie Griffiths, and Craig Dickinson have all put pen to paper whilst Simon Hewitt has returned to the club after a year out of the game. Luke Crowther has also committed himsef to the club after playing in the East Riding County League last season whilst the majority of last seasons 1st X1 squad have also pledged their loyalty to The Beavers. 1st X1 manager Ian Jennings expects more signings during the next couple of weeks, 'We made a list of who we wanted and have slowly but surely been working our way through it, one or two players have moved on but I prefer to look forward and whilst thanking those players for helping Kartiers to achieve what we have during recent seasons, I am more interested in what the current squad is doing and more importantly, potentially going to do'. Neil Earl, injured since the second game of last season, has returned to light training but is not expected to feature until the new year.

Wayne Coulthard has been appointed 2nd X1 manager after the resignation of Richard Singh. Coulthard starts his second spell as reserve team manager with the task of developing the exciting youngsters that have recently registered with The Beavers.

Kartiers FC played the first game of their pre-season campaign last night (30/7) with Selby RSSC (Sun) providing the opposition. Andrew Woodall scored twice and missed a penalty whilst Glen Littlewood and James Barrett also netted during a 4-1 victory.
