🏆🔴 Methley U10 Reds – Champions League Cup Winners! 🔴🏆![]()
![]()
Coaching these boys can, at times, be one of the hardest things I do — but without doubt it’s also one of the most rewarding.![]()
![]()
They have come on so much as a team this year, and after three years of watching others lift trophies, today it was finally our turn. Every bit of hard work, every setback, and every lesson learned along the way made this moment even more special.![]()
![]()
Today the lads dominated the final from the very first whistle, with every single player contributing to an exceptional all-round performance. The effort, teamwork, and desire on show were outstanding.![]()
![]()
I honestly love every one of these boys as if they were my own. I couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them, and to achieve this with the whole team there together just made it even more special. ❤️![]()
![]()
Moments like this are what football — and coaching — is all about.![]()

Up the Methley Massive!!! 🔴⚽💪🏆
The Panthers U10s finished the season in style with a Church Lane fixture against Battyeford Belles Blues. Two competitive and well-matched teams entertained with exciting football.![]()
![]()
⚽️ Goals came from Macey who finished off a lovely piece of play from Alice and Olivia. And then there was a last kick of the game top corner worldie from Elle ⚽️![]()
![]()
Another fantastic team outing, with strong individual performances from them all - Ruby’s incredible dives in goal, Darcey bossing the defence, Annie’s battling on the wing, Aurora’s balls into the box and all supported by injured Bethany who cheered them on from start to finish.![]()
![]()
Coaches’ Player Matilda 🌟 ![]()
An incredible performance with total commitment and desire. She was focussed and her non-stop energy had a massive impact, particularly a number of important clearances. ![]()
![]()
Parents’ Player Macey 🌟![]()
Potent and energy-sapping pressing all game. Always making space, and battling to create chances.![]()
![]()
Opposition Player Elle 🌟![]()
Repeatedly breaking up the Oppo’s play, and that last ball of the game was a real wow moment. ![]()
![]()
Then the Panthers family came together in a really special way to wish our Coach Chris a very happy birthday! The girls presented him with a Coach’s certificate, sang happy birthday (and Marching On Together, some of them!) and thanks to a star baker in the parent pool everyone was treated to the most amazing cakes.![]()
![]()
It was a great game of football with lots of positive support from both sets of coaches and parents and for the Battyeford girls to come over and sing with us was a nice touch, exactly what grassroots is all about!! A warm and fuzzy end to 2025 for a brilliant team. ![]()
![]()
Have a great Christmas break everyone, with love from the Panthers ❤️🖤❤️

Hugely disappointed that another incident of vandalism has occurred on Sav Park.![]()
![]()
We are investing huge amounts of money on the grass pitches in methley, we recorded the last incident to the police and have just reported this.![]()
![]()
If anyone has any information, like previous please let us know. We were able to identify individuals with electric bikes and scooters that have been seen at Sav Park, the police are going to be doing random patrols to help catch these idiots.![]()
![]()
With the grass being wet and the ground soft we ask politely if you see anyone on the pitches please can you take pictures and let’s get these muppets caught. We are desperate to get CCTV up asap, to help us prevent and identify anyone causing criminal damage.![]()

Please help us and report any wrong-doing to the police immediately and let’s help eradicate these issues.
Last training session before Christmas 🎄 (Plus a pic from last week’s Christmas party!)![]()

A couple missing tonight due to family commitments, and a couple sidelined with injuries from last weekend’s bruising cup tie but plenty of smiles and lots of fun. The girls smashed in a load of goals, including some absolute beauties ⚽🔥![]()
![]()
We’re incredibly proud of this group and what they deliver every game. Holding their own in the top division of the West Riding Girls League is no small achievement. We’ll be back in Division 1 again next mini-season, doing it the right way, as great friends who look after each other on and off the pitch.![]()

![]()
That was an AMAZING performance from the Methley U10 Reds! From a coaching point of view, the pure effort and commitment from every player who stepped onto the pitch was a joy to watch.![]()
![]()
The lads were relentless — working together to win the ball back, never giving anything up, and playing with real determination. The goals were superbly taken, coming either from great build-up play or from sheer will to win the ball back and make it count. Exactly what we want to see! 💪![]()
![]()
⭐ Player of the Match – Aaron![]()
We had a few strong contenders today, but Aaron’s never-say-die attitude just edged it. His work rate, determination, and hunger was outstanding — fully deserved 👏![]()

White Rose Vets 5 - 2 Methley United Vets![]()
![]()
After seeing off Kirkstall in the first round of the Inter-County Cup, Methley Vets made the pilgrimage to Huddersfield to face White Rose, runaway leaders of Division One and a side boasting several ex semi-pros who had been only too happy to remind everyone beforehand that they had won their league approximately 24 times out of the last 26, but who's counting (they are). Methley, meanwhile, spent the build-up dealing with the far more important matters of who was driving, who was getting picked up where, and which pub would be visited afterwards. Priorities.![]()
![]()
Before kick-off, White Rose appeared extremely friendly with the referee: hand-shakes, chuckles, Christmas card exchanges and that warmth carried seamlessly into the match itself. If a White Rose player fell over, appealed, or simply looked mildly inconvenienced, a free kick generally followed.![]()
![]()
Inside five minutes, the White Rose non-league journeyman striker hurled himself to the floor in the box. Needless to say, penalty given. Up stepped a fully grown man wearing tracky bottoms, yes, tracky bottoms in an adult game of football, who converted for 1–0. ![]()
![]()
Methley keeper Heppy then produced a string of comfortable saves from long-range efforts before a through ball, only five yards offside (minimum), was waved on and Tracky Bottoms made it 2–0..![]()
![]()
To their credit, Methley didn’t fold. They played some lovely football and deservedly pulled one back when a ball from the right was controlled superbly by Brent, who swivelled and finished with real class. 2–1 at half-time and game very much on.![]()
![]()
The second half saw Methley continue to play the better football, with Tom, Josh and Tucker bossing midfield and refusing to be intimidated by snoods or exaggerated reputations. But football, like life, is cruel. White Rose were awarded another penalty after the referee missed a couple of fouls at a corner, but wasn't allowed to miss a handball on the goal line with strong appeals from White Rose. Penalty. 3–1.![]()
![]()
Despite more good work from Heppy, White Rose hit Methley twice on the break to make it 5–1, both decent finishes it must be said.![]()
![]()
Methley had the final say when Brent raced onto a through ball and finished coolly to make it 5–2. Justice? No. Effort? Absolutely.![]()
![]()
Well played Methley on a mild night in Huddersfield. Unfortunate decisions. One bloke in tracky bottoms. Another in a snood.![]()
![]()
Methley Vets go again after the Christmas break in their quest for promotion from Leeds league Div 2.
The u12 Raiders are still looking for girls to join their team. Come along to a training session to see if you like it! We are back training on Monday 5th January ⚽️
MATCH REPORT - 14/12/2025.![]()
Methley Lions U11s V Polonia Yorkshire. ![]()
![]()
Today the Lions travelled to Polonia.![]()
![]()
The boys throughout the game played well, making use of the knowledge and skills that they have learnt during training. ![]()
![]()
The first half the boys seemed a little intimidated by the opposition however the second half they came out ready and prepared. ![]()
![]()
The logistics of play was set out well, with the boys being able to distribute the ball to each other, setting up some good opportunities however just falling short. They didn’t allow these moment to knock them down and kept battling through which paid off with Faeley scoring a trivela. ![]()
![]()
The boy’s defence was well orchestrate and they showed pure dedication to ensure that they didn’t conceded too many goals, along with our keeper doing what he does best. ![]()
![]()
Overall the boys played a solid and fair game and each one of them should be proud of themselves. ![]()

What to say about these boys in 2025![]()
![]()
The U11s age group are blessed with numbers, and the Tigers were often seen as the weaker end of the sides involved ![]()
![]()
We had players leave, a turnover in coaching staff, tears at training and matches, fall outs, and every little bit of it has been worth it to see these boys play now![]()
![]()
They play without fear, with passion, with pride and with love for each other. They stick up for each other, they support one another and encourage rather than criticise.![]()
![]()
They listen, learn and understand the game more than ever, and to be honest for Ian and I, it's been a worthy journey![]()
![]()
Today we played scintillating football at times, seeing the ball shifted wide and whipped in for tap ins on a number of occasions. Seeing training ground on a Sunday is what we as coaches can only pray for. Today it came together.![]()
![]()
We have a lot of respect for our opponents, always have, today wasn't a poke at them, it was a big round of applause for hard work and dedication in a game where they showed everything we ask for the whole game![]()
![]()
A brace a piece for Charlie and Opposition MOM, Isaac were followed by goals from Joshua, Hawk, Ben and Reuben, with 3 assists a piece for Charlie and Hawk and a nice pair of assists for Coaches MOM, Parker![]()
![]()
A game where anyone could have won MOM it was nice to see one of the defenders claim one, shining in a game where we needed to defend an awful lot![]()
![]()
Fair play to keepers on both sides today, all 3 made wonderful saves in an end to end game![]()
![]()
If you're stuck for something to do on a Sunday morning, head down and take in a game at any of the teams at Methley and see why we appreciate being able to play for such a great club![]()

![]()
Today we hosted Amaranth Purple in our last game before the Christmas break and before the divisions get re-jigged.![]()
![]()
What a great game to finish part 1 of the season. A very close fought match that swung back and forth for the full 50 minutes. Amaranth keeper pulling off some absolute worldly saves in the first 12.5 minutes. Some great passing phases from both sides, great skills on show, and some nicely taken goals.![]()
![]()
Vipers had Seb playing his first game for us, and he didn’t disappoint, earning praise from the opposition. A nervous first 5 minutes soon disappeared and then he found his feet. Getting stuck in with some strong tackles, and even getting on some little runs from right back.![]()

Goals today came from Tomas.![]()

Players of the Match:![]()

Coaches went to Cristian, who was a wall at the back, covering the full width getting in blocks and clearances.![]()

Nice little break for us now. Roll on 2026.![]()

❤️ In Loving Memory of Josh Pick ❤️![]()
![]()
It is with great sadness that Methley United AFC shares the passing of former player Josh Picky, known and loved by so many as “Picky”.![]()
![]()
Josh proudly represented Methley United for six years, giving his all every time he pulled on the shirt. He was a hugely popular character around the club, always smiling, always positive, and always there for his teammates. Josh’s connection to the club ran deep — his dad, Gary, devoted many years as a coach, giving his time and passion to Methley United and supporting countless players along the way.![]()
![]()
Away from Methley, Josh was a massive Leeds United fan. He held a season ticket at Elland Road with his dad and travelled the country following the Whites, something he absolutely loved. Football was a huge part of Josh’s life, and those memories will forever be treasured.![]()
![]()
Josh was loved by so many, and his loss will be felt deeply across our club and wider football family. As a club, we have offered our full support to Gary and the entire family during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts are with them all.![]()
![]()
For those wishing to pay their respects, Josh’s funeral will take place at:![]()

📍 **Hughes Funeral Parlour**![]()
York Road, LS9 9NT![]()
🕥 **Saturday 20th December – 10:30am**![]()
