Playing competitive league football for the first time the team can feel very pleased with a very creditable 4th place finish. Games were played on a wednesday morning which sometimes meant work commitments prevented players from playing. Injuries too meant players having to sit games out but that’s football life ! That said, the team proved very resilient and difficult to score against conceding only 11 goals. At the other end of the pitch ,Mark Beard and Trevor Jones both scored 4 goals each to share the teams leading goalscorers.Looking forward to building on the successes this season heading into next season.
