Sandbach United F.C.
Sandbach United Football Club is an English football club based in Sandbach, Cheshire. They play in the North West Counties League Division One South, at level 10 of the English football league system. The club is a FA Charter Standard Club affiliated to the Cheshire Football Association.
The 2023–24 season saw the team have a relatively poor start in a very busy August and it was catch up all the way from that month onwards after Brocton set the early standard. It was to prove a task too far as Brocton were promoted as champions and Sandbach once again equalled their best ever finish with 3rd place for the second season running, but it was the play-offs again and a home tie in the semi final against a strong Abbey Hey side. It was not to be though as Abbey Hey put the tie to bed early with 3 goals in the first half leaving the Ramblers an impossible task. A bright start to the second half saw Sandbach miss an early opportunity to get back in the game and it was thanks to Harry Cain that Sandbach got a goal back making it an exciting finish but ultimately a 1–3 loss to the eventual play off winners.
Another slow start to the 2024-25 campaign again saw Sandbach United fall behind runaway leaders Winsford Utd and Stafford Town but an excellent run of 16 games without defeat once again confirmed a play off spot with 3 games to spare. It was also a good season in the cups with the team making the second round proper of the FA Vase and Cheshire Senior Cup Quarter Finals (the highest ever Cheshire Cup run), a run that included a 3-2 over National League North team Chester FC.
Play off's for the third successive season and once again it wasn't to be as The Ramblers lost 5-4 in an entertaining Semi Final versus Stafford Town.
