Whilst losing in the last minute yesterday was devastating and certainly not deserved.. the lads can take so many positives from the game.. no more so from the performance of this man who defended his side of the pitch very well, won aerial duels and was strong as an ox 💪🏻

We are delighted to welcome Luke Stockton to the club ⭐️ Luke is a great 1v1 defender. We’ve seen in the couple of games he has played the leadership qualities he has. As he gets more and more up to match speed we have a real player on our hands here. Welcome mate!

We are delighted to announce the signing of Paul Brooke ✍️ Paul has been in the team for a couple of weeks now and has completely changed our dynamic at the top of the pitch for the better. He’s helped bring our wider players into the game more, and be more effective.

Ready for another….. ✍️ We are delighted to announce the signing of Adam Frame from Farringdon Detached Framey comes back at a great time. We are missing many players in the middle of the pitch so we are very happy to have him back.
