“We have an extremely difficult January
with four games against 2nd, 3rd and
4th place in the league and if we are
still top after January I firmly believe
we will go on to win the league come
May. Our Manager Steve Cook, Coach
Matthew Bayston and all the players are
extremely confident and we have started
planning the installation of flood lights
which are required to make the next step
upwards.”

and wish them all the best
for the future.”

meets with great disdain as everyone
wants payment these days.
“Over the next five years the Club’s
ambitions are to install floodlights,
improve the club building, get promoted
to the Northern League and encourage
more teams to join our junior section.
Also, we want to employ a secretary to
take the work load off myself as I am
temporarily filling the role after the sad
demise of our last serving secretary three
years ago.”
