Another game we will all want to forget as soon as possible.

Blackpool Road, a game nobody looks forward to playing. Not because of the opposition but because the pitches are truly awful.

The winner of the division 3 cup semi final between FC Excelsior and Progress Sports & Social will play at Blackpool Mechanics on Sunday 13th April, 10.30 start. As yet the semi final date has not been officially announced.

A typical breezy day at common edge saw the mighty Excelsior take on league contenders Waterloo. The battle of Waterloo, only this time out we were concentrating on being Wellington’s army and not Napoleon’s.

For those who like to know their goals to game ratio take a look at the new link at the top.

At the moment Sean, Wozzer and Scholesy have averaged at least a goal per game started so far, we've also only scored 1 goal from defence this season

Just a quick one, photos from last weeks game vs Layton Institue Junior in the league cup are available here.

Richard Cookney, AKA Scholesy, has asked to say a few words and put down his thoughts on the team.

Scholesy joined FC Excelsior earlier this season and made an instant impact with his determination, passion and sweet left foot. Here are his thoughts on the team and how we have improved over the season.

Another cup game, another win, another team performance.

On Friday 22nd Feb John suffered a broken leg in a 50/50 tackle down at Bispham Tech 7's - get well soon John, from all the team.

After initially thinking it would need pinning in an op, John luckily escaped with just a cast. From all accounts the challenge was a hard 50/50 with no malicious intent by either party.

John is a dependable, consistent and solid defender who has put in fantastic performances for the team all season. As well as keeping our back line solid, John is also Assistant Manager.

We are all hoping for a quick recovery - Steve D can't survive long without you!

Away from home, second from bottom, no game for 2 weeks, playing third in the league and John ‘Excellent’ Evans is out with a broken leg. A lot for the mighty Excelsior to do.

Well in with the cup game lads. If we want anything from this season then the cup is our best hope, or is it our only hope?

We really need to go all the way; there are some top sides still in it, when I say top sides I mean they beat us when we met so you fear mongers don’t need to get excited because none of them are that good. Let’s not get above ourselves though; Sunday was one game, now we need to concentrate on over coming Layton Institute Juniors when we play them.
