As the recent abysmal weather continued to play havoc with the sporting calendar, it was no surprise that our First Team game fell foul to a waterlogged pitch, and the game against Chester Nomads was postponed on Friday.
This, alongside Wirral Council's decision to cancel all football on council pitches, ensured that on Saturday only our Reserve Team was able to represent our club and don the Yellow shirts as we travelled to Helsby to face high flying Runcorn Sports Reserves.

As temperatures plummeted this week and Storm Arwen battered the Wirral, it was cup action for Heswall First Team as we welcomed Newton to Gayton Park, looking to take the first step towards glory in the Pyke Cup.
The Yellows started well and had the ball in the net through Joe Ford's smart finish - only for the referee to indulge in some VAR style consultation with the assistant ref and decide to disallow the strike for offside.

On Saturday, our First Team travelled to the home of horse racing, Aintree Golf Centre, to play a football match against Aintree Villa.
A steeplechase and even some golf might have been more exciting, as this was a rather dull affair that failed to ignite on the day. Neither team could create a telling chance and goals eluded both in a game that ended goalless.

Following last week's victory over Capenhurst Villa, our First Team made the trip over to Maghull in what is always a tough game and a notoriously difficult place to claim victory. A fantastic club with a great set up, Maghull have a proud history and are a very well run outfit so we knew we were in for a game.
Our lads started like a team with renewed confidence and got at our hosts from the start. Man of the Match and skipper Christian Lewis led from the front, a player who has made a fine career for himself doing the hard work in the middle of the pitch, putting his foot in and driving us forward.
Following a dismal run of defeats recently, we could have been forgiven for allowing the doom and gloom to set in at Heswall.
However, we refused to wilt under the pressure and the lads came out fighting this week as the First Team entertained Capenhurst Villa on Saturday.

When things aren't going to plan and the going gets tough, the fight or flight mechanism kicks in and we either defend our corner or we run and hide.
It's reassuring to say that while results aren't going in Heswall FC's favour at the moment, the lads are fighting and battling hard to turn our fortunes around.

Grassroots football has long been a fantastic way for a wide range of people to find a release from their everyday lives.
From youngsters to the older generation, local amateur football can create a haven for people who wish to remain well, both physically and mentally.

Young Heswall footballers distinguished themselves as a former Liverpool and England goalkeeper, emergency services, charities and Merseyside's Police Commissioner joined forces to warn young players about road danger.
More than 100 footballers from across the North West heard messages about road safety at an under-17s grassroots football tournament.

There was no game at Gayton Park at the weekend because the Heswall Reserves clash with Willaston was postponed due to several players coming down with symptoms which were unpleasant but thankfully not COVID-19.
It was a shame not to play, but the upside was that the hallowed turf of Heswall FC could take a break before winter kicks in and grass growing stops until the spring.
