  By CarlyBaldwin at 10:59 on 27/01/12

  

  Chasetown will again try to register their first league points of the new year when they travel to Nantwich tomorrow. A disappointing start to 2012 has seen Chris Brindley's side slip to defeats against Rushall Olympic, Whitby Town and FC United of Manchester, with the Scholars also failing to score in all three games. This week, Brindley fired a warning to his players, admitting that he plans to bring in some new faces during the two...

  WHITTINGTON UNITED 2 NEW INN 1 A BEN Stevens brace put Whittington back to top spot in the table after a tight encounter at the weekend. His first was a neat finish cutting in from the right before curling a left footer past the despairing keeper.

  HIGHGATE UNITED RESERVES 0 CHASETOWN RESERVES 2 CHASETOWN'S second string stretched their lead at the top of Division One to six points with a fine footballing display in blustery conditions at Highgate. The boggy pitch at the Coppice was hardly ideally suited to the Scholars although Tom Brown and Theo Robinson both went close to opening the scoring. Chasetown finally took the lead on the stroke of half time as Karl Edwards...

• Cricket club need last push to make new base complete

  By Lichfield Mercury at 09:20 on 26/01/12

  

  WHITTINGTON Cricket Club has rattled through the top and middle order in their 12-year project to build a new home – but needs a final push to help them see off the tail-end. The club is now in situ at its new Vicarage Lane ground and used the pitch throughout the 2011 season – but work on the pavilion is still to be completed, with an extra £100,000 needed. So while the winter break means there are no appeals...
