We are now affiliated by the FA for season 26/27! Several boxes now ticked towards competing in our 3rd season.
Credit the hard work in the background from the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Managers, Secretary, Treasurer & Player Welfare Officer who have gained or renewed their qualification requirements, liaised with the Council, NDSL & sorted & paid for the necessary league & player insurances. Again, thanks to our sponsors for your support in making this happen.
Let’s do this!
