3rd Team
Welcome to the 3rd Team Homepage!
Welcome to the homepage of Carnforth Rangers 3rd team (aka The ‘A’ Team)! The side, managed by Wesley Kendall and his Assistants Aidan Saunders, Dylan Pedley and Steve Wilson, forms a key part of the clubs development system in the senior setup. The side play their home games at Carnforth High School. Historically, the side has always promoted talent from the youth sides at the club, and from other local areas, giving them the necessary game time to continue their footballing development. After a trickly 2025/26 campaign, the side will want to bounce back strongly as the team managed to get a reprieve in Division 2. This page will be updated throughout 2026/27 as the squad look to build on last season!
