Welcome to the Cowlingweb message board.

There must be a few pianos in the village. Can anyone recommend a good local piano tuner?

Just a slight amendment to my last match report. The man of the match should have read Daniel Brigg, who had his best game ever for the team in defence. Apologies to all my readers.

Cowling came through a difficult game with flying colours when they defeated Brierfield Celtic 3-0 at home on Sunday 27th September. Playing with a slight breeze behind them in the first half Cowling were looking for a lead to to defend when they were to play into the breeze in the secong half. Cowling never allowed the opponenets to settle, while also playing some neat football themselves, despite hitting the woodwork twice, with all their efforts it looked as though halftime would be reaches scoreless. But with 5 mins to go in the half a long range shot was spilled by the Brierfield goalkeeper and like a good centre forward Oliver Williams was on hand to prod home the goal. The second half followed very much the same pattern as the first , with Cowling enjoying most of the possesion and never allowing thier opponents time on the ball. This resulted in Cowling adding 2 more goals before the end. A great performance by Cowling against a very capable side. Scorers were George Sellers with 2 and Oliver Williams with 1 goal. Man of the match with a superb midfiled display was George Sellers.

Many thanks Mark for the poll on bin emptying, it's good to see Cowlingweb trying to find out what the public view is on matters. The change to bin emptying will not take place until January, perhaps councillors who have voted for this change might listen to the public and now reject it?
Or at least tell the public - that public who pay their expenses and allowances - just why they voted the way they did.

Cowling continued their good start to the season when they entertained and beat Trawden Celtic 5-1, on Thursday 17th September. Against aside that never gave up Cowling had the lions share of the possession and chances throughout the game but Trawden looked dangerous on the break. Cowling went in at halftime 3-0 up and added 2 further goals in the second half. The best goal of the game fell to Trawden when they scored from a terrific 25 yard shot, that gave the Cowling keeper no chance. All in all a very satisfactory perfprmance by the Cowling team. Scoeres were Oliver Williams with 2 goals, Luke Barker, George Sellers and Jacob Hough all with 1 goal. Man of the match with a greay display in midfield was Gino Biancardo.

Has anyone lost a rabbit?! Went out to my car this morning and found one hiding underneath it.

It's a mottled brown colour, long floppy ears and very friendly. It must be someones pet. I have brought it inside out of harms way.

Please contact Dave on 07540 874233 if you have lost a rabbit in the Springwell Close area.

Cowling entertained Pendle Forest at home on Sunday 13th Septemeber and came away with an 8-0 victory. The opening 10 mins of the game were very even ,but then Cowling began to get on top applying pressure on the Pendle defence. Two quick goals around the 15 min mark put Cowling on top. Half time was reached with them leading 5-0 and producing some very good football on the way. A few changes at half time seemed to slow Cowling down, as once again play became even, but as the subs settled in, Cowling began to get on top again and added 3 more goals before the end. A very competent performance by Cowling against a Pendle side who never gave up. Scorers were George Sellers and Jacob Hough with 2 each, Gino Biancardo, Josh Wood, Jack Fletcher and Ellis Denton all with one each. Man of the match was new boy Jack Fletcher who gave a tigerish display in midfield.

I took my daughter and her friend to the circus last night on the free ticket she got from school, The woman on the tills told me it wasnt free and i had to pay an extra £2.50 per child!!
Dont get me wrong i would have paid the price if it told you on the ticket but to get people there under what i think is false pretences is wrong.
They know that when your there especially with excited young children your not going to turn away.
Please can someone who got tickets from the school check the small print for me and tell me if it says you pay, all i can remember reading is that if you upgrade your seats it was an extra £5 but otherwise free
Thanks for your help
The girls enjoyed the circus, but to people going tonight on a free ticket, free does not mean free

Cowling started their season with a hard fought 6-5 victory against a very good Barnoldswick Barons side. Cowling got off to a great start and were 2 up inside 10 mins, Barnoldswick soon pulled a goal back, but then Cowling played some delightful football upto half time and during that peroid were the better side. They added another goal to go in 3-1 up. Shortly after half time, Cowling scored a fourth goal and it looked as though the game was going their way. But then Barnoldswick , playing some great football began to turn the screw, pegging Cowling back and applying lots of pressure. They began to eat into Cowlings lead and with 10 mins to go had actually taken the lead, which was no more than Barnoldswick deserved.. Cowling though summoned up one last effort and with 5 mins to go equalised with a tremendous 30 yard free kick. Then to the delight of the Cowling team and fans the come back was complete when with 2 mins to go, the winner was scored. Giving Cowling a 6-5 victory. A draw would definately have been the fairer result as neither team deserved to lose. All in all a fantastic advert for U14's football, with both teams giving their of their best, very well reffed and the parents encouraging the players positively. Scorers for Cowling were Jack Fletcher and Oliver Williams with two each and Ellis Denton and Jacob Hough with one each. Man of the match with a superb display in defence was Oliver Simeone.
