Another fun game with a great atmosphere at Crewe Park this morning against Lower Maze who brought a vocal travelling support.
Billy done, what Billy does best and scored 3 goals in the opening 4 minutes!
Alfie and Daniel are the enforcers of the team getting stuck in to every tackle and backing up their team mates.
Shea's football brain was on display, reading the game brilliantly while James progression was shining through with a lot of effort!
Ollie continues to make his opponents dizzy with his silky skills and records another hat trick on the books.
A very deserving Player Of The Match was Harry who continues to show great progression. Harry's footwork was brilliant and desire to push forward was excellent 👏
A fun game for the boys who took advantage of the open space.

🔴⚪2017s v Cliftonville⚪🔴
Match report: Crewe 2017s v Cliftonville - Sat 18 Jan 2025 - Forthriver 🔴⚪️
We’re back! Our first match of 2025 saw us make a rare trip to Forthriver to face Cliftonville for the second time this season.
We were a little apprehensive at the start as Cliftonville asserted their size and strength. But as the match went on we moved the ball quickly and creates lots of chances. Well done Louie for scoring two and Jack for a well-deserved goal after some brilliant pressing.
Matthew and Caleb were fantastic in the midfield areas and lifted the energy at times, and Theo made some class passes after his trademark trickery.
Lots of corners in this game and we’ll continue to contend with that challenge!
Player of the Week was Lucia! Any keen followers of this page will know that Lucia is so skilful and scores lots of goals. But she had a different role today and was so calm and composed in defence, strong in the tackle, and fab in goals too!
We’re all looking forward to twenty-twenty-thrive! 😂
🔴⚪️ Crewe 2015 Girls Match Report ⚪️🔴
Another week and another great performance from our wee team today and another win, consistency and routine wins are starting to become 2nd nature to our girls now which demonstrates how far we have come in the past few months.
They are implementing what they are taught in training and bringing it into matchdays which is great to see from a coachs perspective.
Every girl put in a top class performance today, starting from the back once again solid as a rock, Birthday Girl and Captian Isla coming in beside Lk today they dealt with everything that was thrown at them also protected by Ivy who got on the ball and was spreading some nice passes out to our wide players.
This allowed our newest addition Aoife to get on the ball down the wing who really took the game to Dromara with her constant attacking threat. This allowed eloise to come in from the opposite wing and get us off to the perfect start with a great composed finish, Eloise has been a constant threat infront of goal these past few weeks.
Eva rose held her postion well up front to pin them back which was also replicated by Ava who has already made big strides forward after just 1 week of playing her first game.
Cadhla ros worked hard in midfield winning all her tackles and then kept a clean sheet in the 2nd half and got us on the front foot with her kick outs.
Megan who also played friday night came in and showed her experience with some nice touches and link up play she also showed great composure in front off goal with a cool finish.
But i think a very big special mention is needed for Lydia today and for the past few weeks who does a great job for us in nets but what has really impressed us is her performance outfield, one of the hardest working girls and some great development with her ball control and passing and a well deserved potm award.
Aoife today in her first ever match played was absolutely outstanding getting a goal and just really dominating from start to finish, Dromara couldnt deal with her today as she kept driving us forward.
Well done every girl today and a big happy birthday to Isla 🎂🥳
🔴⚪2018 girls v Lisburn Rangers⚪🔴
WHAT A GAME!
Our 2018s took on our friends at Lisburn Rangers in a goal fest at Crewe Park this morning and what a game it was.
First period was very tight with not much between the teams as the figured each other out lol
As the game unfolded Crewe started to get the upper hand with sofia and Emilie at the back refusing to allow Lisburn Rangers the space and time to score. In the middle Mollie and Ava Rose applied pressure and drove the team forward as well as helping out their defenders. Up top Harper had all the skills and dribbling ability taking on the opposition at every opportunity. Even though she left her shooting boots at home today she still managed to bag herself a few goals. Lisburn Rangers came back at us in the final period to make it a very close contest.
Player of the week was Sofia, she tackled anything that moved today and passed the ball forward when she could. Took a whack to the face and got up and carried on to help her team out.
Great seeing all these girls playing football with a smile and having fun with their friends.
We hope all supporters enjoyed this morning's football ⚽🔴⚪
🔴⚪2014 v Lisburn Youth⚪🔴
⚽️MATCH REPORT⚽️
We welcomed lisburn youth to crewe park today for our 3rd league game, it turned out a very difficult day for our 2014 juniors. We started very slow and seen ourselves one down within seconds. We fought back to 1-1 as caolan got through on goal with his lightening speed and slotted 1 past their keeper. We then went 2-1 down but showed some grit and determination to get it back to 2-2 after james turned inside and hit a great strike into the bottom corner. Ollie and Mason worked their socks off in center mid while Leo was a constant threat up front against 2 very good defenders. Bobby Joel and james mcclure were under constant pressure and won most of their duels against some quality lisburn youth players.
2-2 at half time, we got the lads in for a chat and pointed out a few areas we can target the opposition but this didn't go how we had hoped. We gave yousef an opportunity with the juniors today as he's been impressive for the colts and in training, he done his best for us. Lisburn youth were absolutely ruthless in the 2nd half , got a few lucky rebounds too but punished every wee mistake we made unfortunately. Best thing was our lads continued fighting untill the final whistle which is admirable to see as the old crewe would have dropped their heads and conceded a dozen. Dandan was sharp off his line today and pulled of some great saves. Every games a learning curve win lose or draw.
Player of the match today was james mcclure. He was excellent in the first half, calm on the ball and won every tackle he went in for. Plays with a smile on his face too and puts 110% in everytime he plays. Well done james 👏
Fantastic to see our 2016s walk out with our first team ahead of today's cup game. Won't be too long until some of these lads are playing for our first team

🔴⚪2012 v Lisdrum⚪🔴
The boys starting to find their feet at this level, tough 1-0 loss but overall a good team performance, solid at the back strong in midfield and unlucky not to score with the chances we created. Lisdrum had beaten us well the first time we played them when we got moved up a level, the game was a lot closer today, overall we were very unlucky not get something from the game. The boys steadily improving and believing in themselves, the last couple of games have been good 💪💪💪 but we keep going things will turn around the quality is there keep going boys it will come. MOTM was James Dale-Jensen cracking first half performance caused all sorts of problems for the other team with his movement and runs into the box, unlucky not to get on the score sheet today. Well done James brilliant today👏👏👏
🔴⚪2016s v Lisdrum⚪🔴
Bit of a slow start from the boys today getting caught out in the first few minutes with a ball over the top and a goal for Lisdrum with their first attack.
The boys composed themselves and started playing some nice football and with the hard work all over the pitch finally got a goal back through Owen who chased down the loose ball after a great save and finished well.
Lisdrum went ahead again with another long ball and tight finish but the boys still had time to get back into it. They put the heads down and eventually managed to get another equaliser from Owen and on another day would have scored 2 or 3 more to make it a comfortable win. We just lacked that bit of composure and tidy finishing that kept the game on level terms but all round another good performance from the lads but theres always room for improvement.
Great play at the back all game from Rogan, Lorcan and Iarla when called upon. Great attitudes all round from all the boys when we need them in defence.
James D kept us on level terms on a few different occasions today with 2 fantastic saves and also coming off his line to clear up a few through balls. Big mention to James Mc with a top class sliding goal line clearance to keep us on level terms aswell.
Big effort and some great skills on show from Conall, Jonah and Darragh too.
POTM was Adam this week for his relentless work rate and his ability on the ball all over the pitch. Great kid with an brilliant attitude. Keep it going wee man.
