Ponteland United FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/FOOTYFOCUSMAG Ponteland United P FOOTBALL CLUB onteland United FC is over 100 years old and is a highly respected, well run FA Charter Standard Community Club. Their first team currently competes in the Northern Alliance Premier Division and they are led by Chairman Paul Brooks who is supported by Secretary Alan Birkinshaw. So far this season their first team has been in fine form, putting together a record of nine wins, two draws and five defeats from their sixteen matches. This sees them sitting in the top half of the table with 29 points on the board. This should provide them with a solid platform from which to build as they head into 2019. As long as they are able to keep their current group of players together and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they will have a good chance of a successful campaign. One of the highlights of the team’s performances has been the attacking brand of football they have been able to produce. This has been reflected by the fact that they have found the back of the net thirty-eight times at a rate of more than two per game. 78 Issue 81 2 COURSES £10 3 COURSES £12.50 AVAILABLE 7TH JAN - 31ST JAN MON - FRI 12PM - 7PM | SAT 12 - 6PM HAPPY HOUR PIZZA/PASTA FROM £7.50 AVAILABLE 7TH JAN - 31ST JAN MON - FRI 12PM - 7PM | SAT 12 - 6PM | SUN 5PM - 9PM Open all day every day www.fratelliponteland.co.uk | 01661 872195 Ristorante Fratelli, Bell Villas, Ponteland, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE20 9BE
