Saturday 11th April

An excellent team performance sees Town come from a goal behind to put 7th placed Squires Gate to the sword and secure an impressive 3-1 victory. Adam Gilchrist, Brian Hatton and an own goal were enough to secure the spoils on a sunny afternoon in Blackpool.

Tuesday 31st March

Town gain a welcome three points with a well earned 1-0 victory over one of the form sides of March Formby at Knowsley Road. A Neil Jones headed goal on 76 minutes was enough to take the spoils and hopefully start the drive to avoid relegation.

Ramsbottom netted an early 2nd half goal but Town showed great spirit to get back to 4-3 with an Iain Dyson penalty and a spectacular strike from Karl Ledsham. Howevert he visitors were to rue missed chances as Ramsbottom ended up running out 6-3 winners.

Friday 27th March  

It is with some regret that the club has to announce the departure of manager John Fletcher. Following a meeting with the club's Chairman John McKiernan earlier today it was agreed in light of recent poor performances and the club's precarious league position that a change was required.

The club would like to place on record its thanks and appreciation to Fletch for his hard work, commitment and service to St. Helens Town over the past couple of seasons; especially taking into account how difficult it has been (and will continue to be) to manage a team playing at this level without any financial resources.

Tuesday 3rd March

Friday 26th December

Town finished the year of 2008 the way they started it on the wrong end of a 5-0 scoreline.

Saturday 20th December

St Helens Town rose off the foot of the table with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Silsden at Knowsley Road this afternoon.

Saturday 29th November  

Town end the month with a much improved display and take a 2-0 lead at Abbey Hey only to be thwarted by a late leveller in the 5th minute of added on time which saw the game end 2-2.

Tuesday 25th November

An abject display at Formby sees Town fall to a 5-1 defeat after taking a 1-0 lead through a goal from Graeme Mitchell.

Saturday 22nd November

  St Helens Town go down 1-0 at home to Alsager Town this afternoon.

Tuesday 18th November

Saturday 18th October

A seven goal thriller at Knowsley Road sees Town lose 4-3 against Bacup Borough. The hosts lead 1-0 after an early Iain Dyson goal and 2-1 via a solo effort from Adam Gilchrist.

Tuesday 14th October

Saturday 11th October

An excellent performance from St Helens Town saw them more than match their high flying hosts Newcastle Town at The Lyme Valley Parkway Stadium this afternoon. The game was decided on a rather harsh penalty decision in favour of the home side which was converted to give the hosts a 1-0 win.

Saturday 4th October

Town exit the Liverpool Senior Cup in controversial circumstances at the hands of East Villa. Town took the lead through Iain Dyson before the hosts levelled and the sides went into the interval locked at 1-1. East Villa netted first in the second half before Paul Monteith levelled and Iain Dyson looked to have sealed Town's passage into the next round. Villa levelled again 4 minutes from time when Tony Lipson pushed the ball home with his hand and amazingly the "goal" was allowed to stand. Town old boy Lee Pegram came back to haunt his former team netting in extra time and John Elias was sent off disputing the goal. Villa added another two goals when the visitors were reduced to ten men but Town will be cursing their luck as the handball for Villa's third goal was clear for most people in the ground to see, obviously with some notable exceptions.   

Saturday 27th September

On a glorious sunny September afternoon St Helens started off on fire but squandered three great chances in the opening 15 minutes and ended up on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline much to the disapointment of all involved.

Monday 22nd September

St Helens Town returned to League action and made it four wins out of five as they recorded a 3-0 victory against Atherton Collieries at Alder Street. A brace from Graeme Mitchell and a goal from Mike Scully on his first start of the season was enough to secure all three points as Town rise to 9th in the table.  

Saturday 20th September

Town fell at the first hurdle in the FA Vase at Knowsley Road this afternoon. The hosts took a first half lead when Phil Mitchell netted but two second half goals from Ashton Athletic including the winner in the four minute of added in time saw Town exit the Vase for another season.   

Saturday 13th September

Town return from Yorkshire defeated by Silsden 2-1 and wondering how it happened after dominating the majority of the game. Town took the lead early on through Iain Dyson, the skipper then had two goals disallowed for offside which looked dubious to the naked eye and on video replay were both proved to be onside. This would have almost certainly have put the game beyond the hosts. Silsden levelled just before the break and netted the winner around the hour mark, one of only two chances they created in the 2nd half.   

Tuesday 9th September

The month of September belatedly started well for Town with a fine 2-1 victory over New Mills at Knwosley Road. Goals from Graeme Mitchell and Iain Dyson secured three points for the hosts as they rose to 6th position leap frogging New Mills in the process  

Sunday 31st August

Town's scheduled midweek match at AFC Fylde has been postponed as the hosts will be involved in an FA Cup replay. With Town being the "odd man out" this coming Saturday with 9 Premier Division clubs involved in the FA Vase 1st Qualifying round and the remaining club playing league fixtures it means that the club will not have a match until Tuesday 9th September when they host New Mills. 

Saturday 30th August

Town ended the month with a disapointing performance and sank to their first competative defeat of the season and exited the FA Cup in the process. A late consolation from Iain Dyson, his fourth of the season was the only bright point on a dismal day in Bacup.  

Saturday 23rd August

Town secure a 2-1 victory at Maine Road to make it six points from six in the League. A late goals from Chris Bermingham and an Iain Dyson penalty ensured that St Helens will end the month of August with a 100% record in the League.  

Tuesday 19th August

Town advance to the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup with a hard fought 1-0 victory at Knowsley Road. Graeme Mitchell's 68th minute goal was enough to earn the hosts a visit to Bacup in the nect round. The win came at a heafty cost with skipper Iain Dyson going off with concussion after a quarter of an hour and more seriously keeper Andy Lynskey have to be replaced after he broke his ankle in three places after an incident half an hour into the game.   

Saturday 16th August

Town come from behind twice to draw 2-2 at Holker Old Boys in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round this afternoon. Goals from Graeme Mitchell and Iain Dyson mean that the two sides will meet again on Tuesday evening at Knowsley Road, kick off 7-45pm

Saturday 9th August

Town start the season off on a winning note recording a 3-2 victory at Alsager Town. The visitors went in at the interval with a 1-0 lead after Graeme Mitchell had headed a corner home. Skipper Iain Dyson made it 2-0 not long after the break before the hosts pulled one back with a penalty. Phil Mitchell restored the two goal advantage when he netted to end a great counter attack and the hosts added a late consolation 5 minutes into added on time. The result sees St Helens in 5th place after the first match of the season.  

Tuesday 5th August

Town ended their pre-season preparations with an excellent 3-2 victory over UniBond Premier League Prescot Cables. Town went into the interval 2-0 up through an Iain Dyson brace and the skipper made it 3-0 to the visitors not long after the restart. Town old boy Darren Byers pulled one back almost instantanously and Eammon Price netted a second to set up a nervous finish for Town but they were not to be denied and held on for an morale boosting victory over their near neighbours.   

Saturday 2nd August

Town start August off with a well deserved 2-0 victory over Beeches this afternoon. A first half goal from Graeme Mitchell was added to by a wonderful solo effort from Adam Gilchrist in the second period.

Saturday 26th July

Town continued their excellent pre-season form by recording a comfortable 7-0 victory over FC Bootle this afternoon at Bobbies Lane. Goals from Cole, Mahama, Walker, a Graeme Mitchell brace, an own goal and even keeper Lynskey chipped in with a penalty to ensure that Town go into Tuesday's match with Helsby still unbeaten.  

Tuesday 22nd July

Town secured their first win of the pre-season campaign, recording a 2-0 vuctory over Vauxhall Motors Rerserves at Rivacre Park. After a scrappy opening half hour Town opened the scoring when Steve Edwards headed home at the far post after an exchange between Paul Cliff and Andy Walker saw the latter deliver an excellent cross. After plenty of pressure from the visitors, Town finally put the game beyond Motors when Iain Dyson latched onto Karl Ledsham's through ball and rounded the keeper to slot home.

The newly formed side took the lead after half an hour from the penalty spot and Neil Jones levelled via the same method on 51 minutes.
