GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s December
Heywood was covered in grey skies and freezing drizzle for the last games of the autumn 2021 season, but that didn’t affect the performance of the Relics. A day of drama, pride, and perseverance, started with Keiran only available for two games due to attending a funeral. Then goalkeeper Eddie was injured in the firstContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s December”
GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 65’s December
It’s amazing, the road to Heywood sports centre was clear for a change, with shiny new tarmac. As I approached, I could hear the faint sounds of the Eye of the Tiger Rocky Theme being played in someone’s car. That about summed up the mood of the Bury Relic players and supporters, for the finalContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 65’s December”

GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 60’s December
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither were the ancient Pyramids of Egypt, but nothing takes longer than to tarmac the road outside Heywood’s Sports Centre. However, who cares about such trivialities? This was the final fixtures for the over 60’s; today was a fight to avoid relegation, a battle of survival of theContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 60’s December”
GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s November
On a very cold but bright sunny day, Match Day 3 for the over 70’s was another day of dominating the three games but once again missed opportunities costing the Relics points. The first game against Blackpool started brightly for the Relics with a Blackpool player wandering into his own penalty area giving the RelicsContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s November”
GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 65’s November
The Relics over 65’s started Match Day 3 top of the league, four points clear of Manchester Corinthians. On a tough day, with all games played in horrible cold drizzle, the Relics continued their unbeaten season but couldn’t maintain their league leading position over Corinthians who have got stronger every month. The Relics dominated theirContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 65’s November”
GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 60’s November
On a beautiful sunny November day there was not a cloud in the sky as the Relics over 60’s started Match Day 3 of the GMWFL Autumn 2021 season.

GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s October
Another round of fixtures for the Bury Relics over 70s, on an October day that was a little overcast with a slight breeze but without rain. Travel conditions were hampered by road works but for the enthusiastic players, this was no obstacle as all were on time. This enthusiasm extended into the matches that sawContinue reading “GMWFL Autumn 2021 Over 70’s October”
