AFC Crewe Women Fall to Clinical Atherton Laburnum Rovers at Crilly Park

AFC Crewe Women slipped to a disappointing 4–1 defeat away to Atherton Laburnum Rovers Ladies despite a bright opening and a spirited performance that offered more than the scoreline suggests.

Crewe began the game with purpose, dominating possession and creating the first real chance of the match through Sara Noori, whose early effort from inside the box was well blocked. Their positive play was rewarded in the ninth minute when Holly Ellison showed great strength to hold off her marker before calmly slotting home after good work from Charlotte Friesner.

The visitors looked in control at 1–0, pressing high and moving the ball confidently across midfield.

Atherton began to grow into the game midway through the first half, forcing Ruby Quinn into a series of tidy takes from dangerous crosses. The home side drew level in the 15th minute after a long ball over the top was misjudged by Kim Barber, allowing the striker to round Quinn and finish.

Crewe suffered a further setback shortly before half-time when Atherton took the lead through a header that appeared to come from an offside position, leaving Crewe trailing 2–1 at the interval.

Crewe looked determined after the restart, with Ellison again driving the team forward and going close with a solo run just minutes into the half. However, Atherton’s direct style continued to cause problems, and a failure to clear their lines proved costly as the hosts made it 3–1 with a tap-in early in the second half.

Moments later, a slack back pass from Barber almost gifted Atherton another goal, but Quinn recovered brilliantly to narrow the angle as the striker missed an open net.

Crewe’s best chance to claw their way back came on the hour mark when Ellison broke through one-on-one, only to be taken out by the goalkeeper. To the disbelief of the visiting bench, the referee brandished only a yellow card.

Atherton capitalised on their reprieve with a swift counterattack fifteen minutes from time, sealing the match with a fine finish from the edge of the box.

Despite the defeat, Quinn was outstanding between the posts, making several key saves and brave blocks. Ellison was again a driving force in midfield, while Paige Williams impressed with her defensive resilience and leadership on the flank.

Substitute Natasha Coumbaros, introduced after an early injury to Simone Kelsall, also made several crucial interventions at the back.

Dominant Crewe Hit Four to See Off Warrington

AFC Crewe Women produced a superb all-round performance to record a convincing 4–0 victory over Warrington Town Women on Sunday afternoon. Goals from Charlotte Friesner, Sara Noori, Beth Donoghue, and a late own goal sealed a well-deserved win for the home side.

Crewe started brightly and immediately put Warrington under pressure, with Holly Ellison testing the goalkeeper from the edge of the area inside the opening minutes.

The breakthrough came in the 10th minute when Ellison’s free kick was parried into the path of Charlotte Friesner, who reacted quickest to tap home the rebound and put Crewe 1–0 ahead.

The home side continued to dominate possession, with Sara Noori seeing a free kick go narrowly over and Faye Pierce-Leahey threatening down the right flank.

Just before the break, Crewe doubled their advantage in stunning fashion. Noori picked up a loose ball around 30 yards out and unleashed a thunderbolt into the top corner — a goal that drew applause from both sets of supporters. Chey Jarvis provided the assist.

Crewe went into halftime leading 2–0 and firmly in control.

The second half began in the same manner, with Crewe continuing to create chances. Beth Donoghue and Friesner both saw efforts saved as Warrington’s goalkeeper worked hard to keep the scoreline respectable.

Warrington threatened sporadically, but goalkeeper Ruby Quinn stayed sharp — watching one long-range effort drift wide and coming off her line smartly to deny a one-on-one chance.

Crewe’s pressure finally paid off again in the 76th minute, when Faye Pierce-Leahey slipped a perfectly weighted through ball to Donoghue, who calmly slotted past the keeper for 3–0.

Six minutes later, Crewe made it four. Ellison played Pierce-Leahey in on goal, and although her initial shot was saved, the ball rebounded off a Warrington defender and into the net for an own goal, with Pierce-Leahey credited with the assist.

With the points secured, manager Callum Wyatt made several substitutions to give minutes to the bench:

Simone Kelsall came on for Paige Williams

Mellor was introduced for her debut, replacing Pierce-Leahey to warm applause from the home crowd

Natasha Coumbaros entered late on for Friesner

Mellor nearly marked her debut with a goal, racing through in the final minutes before being denied by a last-ditch challenge.

Now the curtain has closed on the 2024/25 season for our men’s and women’s teams, the Club can now confirm the players who will be departing. 

From our women's team, Darcie Tennant, Anabelle Medley, Issy Brand, Lucy Tam, Menna Shirras, Pixi Boo Nickless-Mooney and Katie Mallett time's at AFC Crewe is over, as university, work, or relocation deprives us of their services for next season.

Lancaster University Trio Darcie, Anabelle and Menna have brought an unreal level of skill and technical ability to the team in their respective positions, in no small part due to their futsal background. Absolute ballers! 

Issy Brand, Goalkeeper and Captain extraordinaire, has lead the team with passion, personality and enthusiasm, all whilst being an absolute worldie of a keeper.

Find us a better attacking full back than Lucy Tam! And whilst you're at it, show us a player who can cover that back line as quick and composed as Pixi could! We'll wait... 

Finally, shoutout to Katie, who despite a persistent knee injury, would show up no matter what! 

Since the inception of our Women's team two seasons ago, these players have been instrumental in getting us where we are today. We couldn't have done it without you.


AFC Crewe announce women's departures for 2024/25

Now the curtain has closed on the 2024/25 season for our men’s and women’s teams, the Club can now confirm the players who will be departing. 

From our Men’s team, Joe Jones, Aiden Brown, George Taylor-Fletcher, Jacob Brooks and Daniel Millington will be leaving the club. 

Joe Jones leaves to take up a scholarship in the US as of this summer. We wish him well state-side and he's welcome back any time. 

Aiden Brown departs after scoring 20 goals for the Club across the last two seasons, playing a key part in last year's double success.

George Taylor-Fletcher's first season in men's football has been a resounding success, and we look forward to what he does next in the game! We're sure we'll be seeing his name around the Football League in years to come. Huge thanks, too, for playing through injury for many months of the season to fight for the cause.

Jacob had already agreed to join Burscough Town closer to home, while Daniel departs after half a season with the club. 

Massive thanks to all for their contribution this season!
