Tue 29 Apr Youth brace enough

Guiseley U19s 2-0 BPA U19s.
The U19s finished their home league programme with a useful win over their local Bradford rivals in a closely fought and entertaining match.  Liam Robinson and Fernando Moke scored both goals from good set up play to seal the deserved result on the back of a solid hard working performance.

Outstanding fixtures due to recent bad weather and pitch unavailability for U19 league clubs are presently being dealt with by the Northern Under 19 Alliance League.

Sat 19 Apr Reserves draw on reserves

Guiseley Reserves 2-2 Ossett Albion Reserves 
In a closely fought and entertaining match the Reserves had to come back from a two goal deficit to draw.  A controversial penalty converted by Ossett set the ball rolling and doubled their tally from a free kick.  Guiseley fought back well with an under strength side, due to various reasons, and could have gone on to win with chances both before and after goals from a John Douglas free kick and cool finish by Fernando Moke.   

Fri 18 Apr Club Press Release

Guiseley AFC are pleased to be able to announce that they have agreed terms with Steve Kittrick to remain as first team manager for the 2008 / 2009 season.

The ups and downs of the current season mean that the outcome of the league is still in the balance and whilst Guiseley have possibly become the outsider in the three horse race for the final two play-off places a win on Saturday at Worksop Town could change everything once again.

The Guiseley board are pleased with the way in which Steve has injected new blood into the team and initiated a much more entertaining style since his appointment last December. They are looking for continued progress in whatever league Guiseley end up playing in next season and with his own team around him, feel that Steve is the man to achieve this.

Tue 08 Apr Cruel twist of fate

Guiseley Reserves lost this entertaining league match 1-0 at home to their BPA counterparts on the basis of two second half penalty decisions - one awarded and the other not.  This was one of those games where the Reserves had done enough to win in a good general performance against a decent side who defended and counter attacked well.  Sadly, only the cutting edge at the business end of the pitch was missing.  However, given recent indifferent form this was in fact a thoroughly positive and hard working showing in putting the Avenue goal under far more pressure than their own was.  With Arran Hollindrake, returning from long term injury in attack, settling back in quite well this was a welcome sight and bonus.    

Tue 08 Apr Ladies handy nap
at leaders

Wed 02 Apr U19s lose narrowly

In cold windy conditions on Tuesday night Guiseley U19s were narrowly defeated 1-0 by Yorkshire Amateur U19s and took revenge for a Guiseley win in the reverse fixture recently.  Guiseley struggles to control the ball and the game with a first half following wind and went in luckily with only one goal against them, the visitors missing several clear chances and a penalty.  The second half saw Guiseley far more in the game but lacked good goal creation and finishing when it matrered.  Overall, the U19s deserved something from the game in showing character to compete and force their game forwards against a stiff wind and strong opposition.   .

Thu 27 Mar Guiseley sign Lee Crooks

LEE CROOKS... Caught the eye for Dale against Oldham on Saturday.Guiseley last night signed former Premiership player Lee Crooks from Rochdale.  The 30 year old combative midfielder has proven influential and playing experience from a long football league career which includes spells at Barnsley and at Bradford City under Colin Todd's managership. 

Wed 26 Mar Reserves slip up

Guiseley Res. 1-3 Stalybridge C. Res.
A 2nd half late forced own goal by Stalybridge was to little to late for the Reserves and scant reward for the general work and purpose shown by this young team.  After a good 1st half which Guiseley largely controlled well but went into the break one goal down.  The 2nd half saw the Reserves struggle to maintain their form and Celtic go further ahead into a 3-0 lead before Guiseley rallied in worsening rainy conditions.    

Mon 24 Mar Stamford Stalemate

Below par performance sees Daniels draw at Lions den match report

Fri 21 Mar Reserves draw at Wakefield

Wakefield FC Reserves 1-1Guiseley Reserves
Playing in dreadful weather conditions a youthful reserve side worked hard and deservedly led until the 87th minutes when the hosts finally managed to work a good goal to draw level.  Guiseley had much of the play and scored from a corner through John Douglas with a header.  Several players were forced to play out of position due to injuries and unavailability and three further enforced injury substitutions had to be made.  However, the team delivered a good battling display in the conditions and circumstances and provided further experience for such a young team.
 

Fri 21 Mar Guiseley win away again

In gale force conditions Guiseley continued their good away form by beating Whitby Town 2-1.  A 2-0 lead was established through a first half header from Fernandez and second half tap-in from Hanson which secured the three win points for Guiseley before a consolation reply for the hosts.  This now moves Guiseley into a play-off position going into Monday's important home match against Stamford at Nethermoor.  KO. 3.00pm

Mon 17 Mar Season Best for Youth

Yorkshire Amateur U19s 0-2 Guiseley U19s
A brace of goals for debut boy Jamie Kitching sealed this very entertaining and enthralling encounter for Guiseley at Bracken Edge.  After the disappointment of their last match the U19s needed to respond and they did this in style.  Several team changes for various reason only served to strengthen their resolve and resulted in a  forceful and hardworking performance built on a strong resistant defence and inventive open forward play.  The hosts were a good side but found their visitors in a man mood and competitive to the end in this incident packed game.
