FIRST TEAM
Last week… Emley travelled to North Nottinghamshire for the last of three league away trips on Saturday to face Sherwood Colliery who were looking to maintain their perfect start to the season. The Pewits had other ideas, however, and deservedly secured their first league win of the season against the early front runners with three goals from George Doyle (2) and Ryan John.

This week… The first team welcome Chadderton from across the Pennines to the Fantastic Media Welfare Ground for the FA Vase second qualifying round fixture on Saturday - this season's first Saturday match! Chadderton convincingly beat Athersley Rec 1-5 in the previous round to earn another trip to Yorkshire. Emley and Chadderton have met previously during Emley's one season stint in the North West Counties League, the FA Cup and in the FA Vase. Emley narrowly won in the league matches and, perhaps a good omen, the FA Vase meeting while the Pewits went down in the FA Cup tie.
Match preview will be available on our website later in the week

ACADEMY
Last week… The under 18s travelled to Horsfall Stadium for their FA Youth Cup first qualifying round tie against Bradford (Park Avenue). In a thoroughly entertaining match, the young Pewits dominated but the game ended drawn 2-2 after 90 minutes with two superb goals from Kobe Simpson and Keelan Grist for the Pewits. Going straight into penalties, Bradford's experience shone through with four excellent strikes and a diving save to deny Emley's hopes of progressing. By far the better side, Emley could have taken the game on another day with kinder bounces. They did the club proud!

This week...The under 23s start their West Riding FA Development League Premier Division campaign with a tasty away clash on Monday (tonight at 7:45pm) against Farsley Celtic, who the under 23s dumped out of the cup semi-final last season.

Meanwhile, the under 18s' attention turns to the Junior Premier League U18 Cup, in which they have got off to a winning start after a 1-4 win against Ossett. Their next group fixture is against UFCA Yellow on Saturday at SportsPark Weetwood in Leeds at 1pm.
