A Tameside starlet has taken a step closer to achieving his lifelong footballing dream. 

After two seasons away, Hyde United fan favourite Brad Roscoe has returned to Ewen Fields. 

Ashton United - the only remaining Tameside representative in this year's FA Cup - bowed out of the competition over the weekend after a narrow defeat at National League North side Buxton. 

It was a happy return to Bower Fold for James Kinsey on Tuesday night, as his Wythenshawe side saw off his former employers Stalybridge Celtic.

Hyde Cricket Club were crowned Cheshire Cup champions earlier this month after an impressive 58-run victory over Bollington CC.

Hadfield brought home their first ever piece of Greater Manchester Cricket League (GMCL) silverware last Saturday – the GMCL Division 1 title – and, with it, an affirmation of all that the club have stood for over the last 25 years: their approach to junior cricket.

After announcing his arrival in style last season, there was to be no derby day joy for Michael Carrick this time around, as our noisy neighbours took the spoils in controversial fashion at Old Trafford.

The draw for the third qualifying round of the FA Trophy has been made, with two Tameside clubs set to meet. 

Stalybridge Celtic progressed to the FA Trophy second qualifying round in dramatic circumstances on Saturday, thanks to a last-minute winner from Liam Tongue. 

Tributes have been paid to much loved non-League football manager Dave Wild, whose death was announced over the weekend. 

Ashton United, the only Tameside club left in this year's FA Cup, have discovered their second qualifying round opponents. 

Hadfield secured promotion from the Greater Manchester Cricket League Division 1 last Saturday and can, if they win this Saturday, claim their first ever piece of GMCL silverware.

After the opening three games of their 2026/27 Premier League season, Manchester United have racked up just four points. 

Now that the transfer window is finally closed, we can stop worrying about who is coming in, who is leaving, and what the squad might look like, and actually crack on with the season.

Ashton United are now Tameside’s only representative in this year’s FA Cup, with Hyde United and Curzon Ashton suffering first qualifying round exits over the weekend. 

Six years ago, Iliman Ndiaye had just netted his first goal for Hyde United in a 3-1 win over Matlock Town, the day after his 20th birthday.
