It's here people! 🙌

First game of the new season this weekend ⚽️

We welcome Sunderland Wearmouth tomorrow to the Acorn Centre in what should be a tight game to get going, both teams walked away with a victory each in last seasons fixtures and both will want to get the season going with a win! Should be a cracker!

Our pre season comes to an end this weekend.

We have had some tough games this pre season, but we will be better for it.

Testing ourselves against higher league opposition in Darlington DSRM, Redcar Newmarket, Middlesbrough Over 40s FC & Hartlepool Vets.

We turn our attention to South Hylton WMC this weekend, a team we will face this coming season, so it will be a good marker for what's to come.

A good test for us today.

Well earned 0-0 draw! 💪

Every single player kept going to that final whistle today, well done lads! We learn more about ourselves in these types of fixtures than at any other time.

Good minutes for everyone, great test for us!

Good luck to Redcar for the season ahead!

Upcoming pre season friendlies for the team, our preparations for next season really pick up some pace over the next few days!

First pre season friendly completed yesterday, great weather for it!

Brilliant to get back out on the pitch and shake some rust off.

Some excellent minutes in the legs for everyone!

Thanks to Darlington DSRM for coming to play us.

Darlington come out on top in the end, but lots of good to take from the game, Steven Daniels bagging a well taken brace! Good sign for the season ahead 👌

Keep an eye out for the next fixture post later in the week, we are putting ourselves to the test this pre season!

New kits looked 🔥 Headlight Project - we will have some photos to share from next weeks game too.
