Plenty of action for our youngsters on Saturday as league and cup action took hold across the lower four tiers of the non-league pyramid.

Remi Raymond (Witton Albion, NPL Division One West)

A standout game for Remi Raymond on Saturday as he was once again in Witton’s starting line-up and made a decisive impact, netting a 78th minute winner against Mossley to secure all three points in a game that finished 3-2.

Joel Bailey (Bamber Bridge, NPL Premier Division)

After last week’s postponement, Joel returned to the starting XI and clocked a full 90 minutes as Bamber Bridge played out a 2–2 draw away to Stockton Town. The centre-half continues to build consistent minutes on loan, gaining valuable experience in competitive fixtures.

Max Beddow & Harry Watson (Barnton, NWCFL Division One South)

In their opening Macron Cup first round clash of 2025/26, Barnton called upon both of their loanees. Max Beddow started in goal, while Harry Watson came off the bench. Unfortunately, the pair were unable to prevent a narrow 1–0 defeat to Runcorn Town.

Isaac Mannion (Cheadle Heath Nomads, NWCFL Division One South)

Isaac made an off the bench in Nomads’ 4–0 loss to West Didsbury & Chorlton in the Macron Cup first round.

A big thank you to Go Interiors Warrington for sponsoring all our Remi's kits this season.
