The story so far...

We lost twice to Toft Hill at the start of the season. then narowly lost our home game to Copeland Road. We gave Shildon County a good run for their money in the Rudd Cup in a 9 goal thriller. We eventually ran out 5-4 losers. Shortly after this we got our first win, at home, over Woodhouse Close (3-1). Though we were disappointed to lose 3-1 away to St Anne's we played our part in another thrilling game against them at home, narrowly losing 3-2 that time. We are currently enjoying a two game 100 per cent record with fine, 3-1, away wins over Woodhouse Close and Copeland Road.

Do you know who the leading scorers are? Why don't you ask them for their autograph!?

Leading scorers:

Adam Peart 9
