Evening all and here starts another members newsletter. We hope it finds you all well.
First Team Update
Since the last update a lot has happened for the first team.
After showing Hebburn how to play football we went to Tadcaster in the next round of the FA Cup we had a great day and not even Tadcaster’s tactics could ruin the day, though 2-1 defeat smarted a little.
Anyway…
A week later saw us making the trip to West Auckland (Peter Austin via Bishop Auckland) were a the ever healthy travelling support saw an excellent shift from the lads bring all 3 points back to Tyneside.
There then followed 3 games on the run when we scored 5 goals, 2 in the league which sandwiched a memorable 5-1 victory in the FA Vase against Thackley.
Next up was what will be one of the most memorable games of the season when we beat the highly fancied Bishop Auckland at home.
After draws at home to Newcastle Benfield and away to Boro Rangers and a win at bogey team West Allotment in the league out unbeaten run was finally ended away at Benfield in the Senior Cup.
Thanks to the frankly bloody awful weather we bounced right back with another memorable Grounsell Park night under the lights when we beat Darwen in the FA Vase 3-0.
Here are the upcoming fixtures, please do come along and give the lads your support.
04/11 Crook Town at home. League
11/11 Emley away. FA Vase
15/11 North Shields away. League
18/11 Guisborough at home. League
25/11 Penrith away. League

Saturday Bar Opening
As you will have noticed it has proved a struggle recently finding a volunteer to open the bar on Saturday nights. We are working on this and will provide a further update once in a position to.
Where we are unable to find a volunteer in the meantime we will advise the day before, so if you don’t hear otherwise, the club will be open and please do come down for a drink.
Saturdays have become the quietest night that the bar is open, so once we have a solution to having the bar open regularly we will be looking at initiatives to try to increase attendance on Saturday nights.
Keep your eyes peeled for this but in the meantime we will sign off. Now get those coach seats to Emley booked.
