West Weekend Preview | 7th & 8th November
Your West Weekend - 7th & 8th November
West Men vs Stone Old Alleynians, 3pm Saturday
West Women vs Darwen, 2pm Sunday
For a consecutive weekend, we've got back to back games at Brookburn Road this weekend - with the addition of our sold-out bonfire night to finish, too.
Both senior teams come into it after cup success. Our men's team reached the third round of the FA Vase for the fifth consecutive season thanks to a Joe Berks double against Prestwich Heys, while our women's team opened the floodgates in the second half to defeat Mossley Hill 7-2 in the league cup.
League action sees Lee Rick's side taking on 19th placed Stone Old Alleynians, looking for a win that could take us back into the top half of the Midland Football League table. Meanwhile, West Women face a tricky fixture against Darwen, where victory would keep us up in 3rd.
Read the full match previews below - come on, West!
Saturday: Stone Old Alleynians (H)
3pm kick off, Brookburn Road M21 8DP
Stone visit Brookburn Road on Saturday, with West looking to end a run of three straight league defeats. Stone are aiming to turn the season around themselves, sitting second bottom after 14 games. After winning on the opening day, they've only tasted victory in the league once since - and that was a topsy turvy 5-4 against Tividale, the only side below them.
Sunday: Darwen (H)
2pm kick off, Brookburn Road M21 8DP
Darwen will not be a quiet afternoon, and they have great pedigree in this division having been one of its most consistent performers. They finished 4th last campaign, coming off a season of being runners up in 2024-25.
Sunday Night: Bonfire & Fireworks
As previously announced, our 2026 bonfire and fireworks night has now completely sold out.
Gates will open at 5.30pm, with our annual bonfire and fireworks display alongside food, drink and entertainment. Members of both our Men's and Women's teams will also be helping out across the event.
