Match Preview

Thanks to Arun and Jack for this match preview...

The club was formed in 2014 following a merger between Coates Athletic and Whittlesey United both founded in the 1950s

The club play their home games at The Danzen Logistics Stadium which is located just beyond the famous Straw Bear.

Their best FA Vase run was in 21/22, in which they were eliminated in the 3 rd round to Newport Pagnell, who were the eventual winners of the tournament that year.

During that run a familiar face to many Rangers fans, ex-Bourne and Yaxley goalkeeper Aaron Bellairs was the hero of a penalty shootout win.

Whittlesey finished 5 th in Division One North accumulating a total 66 points reaching the play offs in which they were knocked out in the semifinals in a tough 4-1 defeat at the hands of Downham Town.

The club finished the 2022/23 season with joint top scorers of Jack Carter and Jones de Sousa (who joined them from Deeping Rangers) both accumulating 13 goals.

Whittlesey gained their first piece of silverware in only their 2 nd season as a new found club back in the 2015/16 season when they lifted the Peterborough & District Charity Shield and 3 years later triumphed the Cliff Bullen Charity Cup.

Whiitlesey are managed by popular local football personality Ricky Hailstone.
