They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
JACK was given the captain's armband and was proud to lead his team to their first win.
They knocked six past their opponents in a game they dominated from start to finish.
Playing in the centre of defence in such matches can be frustrating, but he showed restraint by not wandering up field in search of action. When the ball came his way he dealt with it well.
I reckon he only had around ten touches during the game and, for once, he returned home almost spotless. The Gaffer was doubly chuffed.
Here's the club's official match report...
Six of the Best
Crosby Stuart U6s 6, Burscough U6s 0
With two inexperienced teams, the start of the game was a scrappy affair but it was Crosby Stuart who soon began to take control and dominated possession.
Goals from Max Smith and Kieron Thornton gave Crosby Stuart a 2-0 half time lead.
The second half continued in much the same vein as the first half with Crosby Stuart on top throughout.
Further goals from man of the match Peter Silcock, Andrew Welch, Max Smith and Kieron Thornton gave a final scoreline of 6-0.
Goalkeeper and defence had little to do but coped well when asked to do so.
Some great tackling and build up play from midfield gave the boys a much deserved and resounding victory.
