Just like that, the 23/24 football season is upon us, and for the Bears, it brings new challenges and opportunities. After a successful run in the North West Counties League, the team has switched leagues to the highly competitive Midland League Premier Division. With this change in division, expectations are high, and fans are eagerly awaiting the action to unfold.
The off-season has seen some notable changes in the squad. While there have been some new signings, some familiar faces have departed as well. However, the heart of the team, led by the steadfast management team of Richard Duffy and his dedicated staff, remains unchanged. With a strong sense of continuity, the Bears aim to build on last season’s success, having lifted two prestigious trophies – The Cheshire Senior Cup and The Macron Trophy.
This opening fixture against Wythenshawe Town in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary round adds an extra layer of excitement. These two sides are no strangers to each other, having crossed paths numerous times during their days in the North West Counties League. Both will be eager to make a statement early in the season.
The Bears will undoubtedly want to set the tone for the campaign with a strong performance in this cup fixture. The FA Cup always brings an air of magic and unpredictability, where even lower division teams can upset higher-ranked opponents. As the Bears step onto the pitch, they carry the hopes and dreams of their passionate fans, and they’ll be looking to progress in the competition and potentially face tougher challenges against stronger teams.
The key to success for the Bears will lie in the cohesion of the new squad members and the experience of the veterans. With a mix of promising talents and seasoned campaigners, the team has the potential to make a significant impact in the Midland League Premier Division.
As the Bears take on Wythenshawe Town, the atmosphere will be electric, and the passion on display will be a testament to the love for the beautiful game. With both teams giving their all on the field, we can expect a thrilling contest, filled with drama, moments of brilliance, and, perhaps, even late-game heroics.
All in all, the upcoming season promises to be an exciting journey for the Bears, and it all starts with this FA Cup Extra Preliminary round clash. As the players don their jerseys and step out onto the pitch, the fans will be there in full force, cheering them on every step of the way.
It’s time for the Bears to roar once more, and with their sights set on greater achievements, they’ll be looking to start the season with a bang. So, grab your scarves, paint your faces, and get ready for an action-packed game of football – the 23/24 season is here, and it’s going to be one to remember!
