Many thanks to our visitors today

Sam Sam the camera man!! 📹📽📱👦🏼One of our juniors Sam Robinson was in action as our resident ball boy last night & caught one of your goals. Sam & his family love comIng to the games & he does an excellent job as ball boy. we especially love your reaction to the goal!!!
To be 4th in the league with 5 homes games out of the 7 to go we were more than confident of promotion and climbing the table further. Football is full of opinions but really gutted for the lads who have put time and effort in for it to be taken away is gutting.
Also to get to a semi final having beat 3 higher league opponents for it just to be cancelled is really hard to take. Surely organising 2 games can’t be that difficult and could have been played later on in year at start of Pre season?
Wishing
@ThomasO34018879
a huge happy birthday today. Tom is a volunteer with us and gives up his time to help out at the club selling raffle tickets and hospitality for our visitors. He does a super job. Happy birthday Tom from all of us 🎂

Thank you so much guys. It has been a tough few months for all non-league clubs. It would have been brilliant to host you. We wish you all the very best for this season and the future.
A game of two half’s tonight. Shelley certainly deserve the lead at half time but

came back very strong and could have won it in the 90. Penalties is a cruel way to go out but we move on.

who no doubt were going to be league winners and proved to be the best team in league throughout the season (although we did beat you 😁). You must be gutted.
Work is almost complete on the improvements to our second main pitch. The flags are down, providing hard standing for both main pitches & the dug outs are up, just requiring a roof, astro turf has been laid in both dug outs on the main pitch.
A huge thank you to all who helped.
First game back after lock down was definitely one to forget. Lack of fitness coupled with the majority of experienced players missing cost us 2nd half to a good

Although the season is over some great news coming from our 2nd team.
Dan Robinson has won the Manager of the month for March. Brilliant achievement for him and the team!
Some brilliant performances and results would have no doubt ended in promotion for the 2nds.
Today saw the first team travel to Lower Breck for our return fixture. Weather was shocking and the result wasn’t the best either (lost 6-0) but today was about more than that. It was about grassroots football...
Only a goal separated both sides tonight and unfortunately it was a goal late in the game from
