‘Roses’ were blooming on the football field in 1991.

Having successfully launched an under-12s side two years previously, Audenshaw’s BP Tudor Rose FC was growing fast.

An under-nines team had recently been introduced with club officials keen to recruit enough youngsters to start under-ten and under-11 sides.

John Charlesworth and Ged Chant who coached the under-nines thanked Frank Caulfield of Audenshaw-based Caulfield Motors who had donated cash to buy team kit and two match balls.

Matches were played on a ground off Guide Lane with training sessions on Friday nights.
