    Take part in our charity five-a-side tournament

    We’re looking for teams for a charity five-a-side tournament in conjunction with the Beatson Cancer Charity.

    Come play in the shadow of Fir Park on the astro and raise funds for charity on Sunday, 16 February 2020.

    We’re looking for teams of seven to take part, with guaranteed matches in round-robin group stage, a trophy for the winning team, goodie bags and prizes.

    Entry is £150 per team. To sign up, just head to our booking page.

    “On behalf of everyone at Beatson Cancer Charity we are honoured to be working alongside the Motherwell FC Community Trust,” Charlene Clay, from the Beatson charity, said.

    “Thanks to the support, we can continue to invest in services, staff, research and education to provide a better future for those affected by cancer.

    “We aim to make the journey easier by transforming the way patients and cared for and the way treatment is funded. Whether it is in the hospital ward, or within the community, we believe no one in Scotland should experience cancer without care, without love and without hope.

    “We are with patients and their families whenever they need us. All our work is made possible by supporters like yourselves and it is due to your generosity which allows Beatson Cancer Charity and all our staff and volunteers to deliver an innovative and patient-focused approach to cancer care and change the lives of those affected by the disease every day.”

    Dawn Middleton, general manager of the Motherwell FC Community Trust, added: “We are proud to partner with the Beatson Cancer Charity to raise funds through the five-a-side tournament.

    “They do incredible work in the care and treatment of cancer patients. Sadly, many of us will know someone or experienced the harrowing nature of this illness. But many of us will also know of the support received from Beatson and it is important we raise funds to help them continue to provide such incredible care.”

    Reserves draw at Celtic

    Reserves draw at Celtic

    Motherwell took a point in a 1-1 draw at Celtic in the SPFL Reserve League Cup on Monday afternoon.

    Ross MacIver’s opener in the match was cancelled out by Jonathan Afolabi, before the hosts went on to claim a bonus point in the penalty shootout.

    It was another youthful Motherwell side, with first team experience coming from youngsters Jamie Semple, Dean Cornelius and David Devine.

    Four minutes in, the Steelmen had the lead. A short back pass and failure to clear by Hughes presented MacIver with his opportunity to slot the ball home.

    On the half hour mark, Celtic were level. Combination play between Dembele and Afolabi then saw the latter chip Morrison from an angle.

    Both sides would have chances in the second period, but the game would finish level and with an opportunity to take a crucial bonus point in the group.

    Celtic would prevail 4-2, securing top spot and progression to the semi-finals. Motherwell have a game left to try and finish as the best runner-up from the three groups, taking on Dundee at home on 27 January.

    Motherwell: Morrison, Brown, Hussain, Devine, Muir, Semple, Cornelius, Hale, Hutchison, MacIver, Starrs.

    Subs: Hemfrey, Robertson, Williamson, McDonald.

    ‘We were ruthless’

    “It was a fantastic result. But we can play better. We defended brilliantly and we were ruthless when we had to be.”

    Stephen Robinson reacts to the 4-0 win over St Johnstone.

    Motherwell hit St Johnstone for four

    Motherwell hit St Johnstone for four

    Motherwell eventually overcame a very determined St Johnstone to make it four wins from their last five home games and strengthen their grip on fourth place in Ladbrokes Premiership.

    After a cold start on a freezing afternoon, Devante Cole’s goal just before the half hour raised the home side’s tempo.

    Peter Hartley headed home a second four minutes into the second half to give ‘Well the upper hand, before Jake Carroll and a late goal from debutant Christy Manzinga gave the Fir Parkers a deserved, workmanlike win.

    Stephen Robinson made one change from the side which played well but left Easter Road empty handed. Liam Donnelly returned to the heart of the Motherwell midfield, with Barry Maguire stepping down.

    Eager to put two consecutive away defeats behind them, the Steelmen started the game with great intent. But it was Saints, helped by some slack passing in the home ranks, who put some early pressure on Mark Gillespie’s goal.

    After 11 minutes Anthony Ralston drive towards the home box ended with a low drive which provided Gillespie with his first save of the afternoon. A minute later, after another poor pass set up Chris Kane, Peter Hartley blocked the striker’s powerful shot.

    Gradually, ‘Well gained a couple of openings around the Saints box.

    In the 23rd minute, Liam Grimshaw dragged the ball across the visitor’s penalty area before feeding Long, whose angled drive flew narrowly across goal. Three minutes later Hylton was even closer with a sweet 20 yard drive which had Clark flying across his goal.

    The increased tempo from the home side had Saints on the back foot and it was no surprise when ‘Well opened the scoring in the 29th minute.

    Close to the byline Hylton’s trickery left Ralston on the ground, and when the winger’s lofted ball found Cole towering above Jason Kerr at the back of the six yard box, his downward header sped beyond Clark for his fourth goal of the season.

    Motherwell should have extended their advantage as Saints struggled but a series of misplaced passes let the visitors off the hook.

    Seven minutes from half-time, Kane’s cute back healer four yards from goal almost punished ‘Well for their carelessness. While the Perth men had plenty of the ball, ‘Well looked more dangerous around goal.

    It was quite a different start to the second 45 as ‘Well immediately pressed the Saints into defence.

    And after being denied just before the break Hartley took only four minutes to find the net. A brilliant burst into the box by Hylton earned a corner. And when Polworth delivered the ball towards the ‘huddle’ of ‘Well players, Hartley stretched to fire his header through a ruck of players and give his side a more comfortable lead.

    Great strength and pace from Cole carried him into the box but with Long completely unmarked the on-loan Wigan striker screwed his shot wide of goal.

    Long’s hard working hour was recognised by the fans as he made way for James Scott – as ‘Well looked to extend their lead.

    However, for a spell it was Saints who looked the more likely to get the next goal and drag themselves back into the game. And a positive double substitution by Tommy Wright with 23 minutes remaining was aimed to give his side an extra spark.

    Then out of nothing Hylton won the ball five yards outside the Saints’ box and his low curling shot forced a fine diving save from Clark, as Cole tried to latch onto the rebound.

    A couple of minutes later more good work from Hylton led to another corner. Once again Polworth’s delivery from the corner flag found a team mate and when Declan Gallagher’s header bounced off the post, Carroll stabbed home the rebound for his first goal in claret and amber.

    With 15 minutes remaining, and having made a major contribution, Hylton came off allowing fans their first glimpse at home of Christy Manzinga.

    And the Belgian marked his debut with a goal a minute from time. All three subs combined as Scott broke from his own half and when his pass found Mark O’Hara, he nodded the ball into the path of Manzinga who coolly steered the ball beyond Clark and make it 4-0 and round off a solid afternoon’s work.
