SOCIAL
NEWS FROM PITTERS - This week is the

to let you know he is organising a game
of footy at newlands 11.30 meet for a fun
kick around then on the steam in the club
afterwards so if anyone is interested then
get your self up to newlands.
On the 4th of july the last lions test spurs
is organising a touch tournament at newlands
it will be a 9.30am meet with the first
game kicking off at 10am so it will be finished
in time to watch the game. Spurs has asked
if we the 3rds can get 2 teams which will
consist of a squad of between 6 and 10 so
i thought we could look at getting a teachers
team and a 3rd team to enter, if anyone
is interested please get back to me , it
should be a good crack !!!! |
UNITED
NEWS FROM ARCHIE - The
time has come to dust of your boots and
start touch training before pre season starts
in a week or so time. We need to start pre

right mental attitude. Last season in my
eyes we could of won more games if we had
the fitness to finish teams off.
Men this is down to our own inner will to
succeed. So lets get hold of as many of
our mates and work harder than ever in the
forth comming weeks ! |

End
of Season Award Review - Click
here to review all of this years winners
The end of another
season, overall as a club, I would say
one of the most successful. Newlands is
starting to develop and meet our needs,
we still have a lot of work to do and
have some ambitious plans in the pipeline
over the next few years. Two local cups
for the Seniors, although finishing 3rd
in the league was disappointing, we will
all look back to the first game of the
season and hope next year players will
organise their holidays etc accordingly.
Mini's and juniors continue to improve
both in numbers and quality of play. 4
County Cup winners, a semi finalist, 2
quarter finalists and many matches against
teams performing at a National level.
Probably the most encouraging aspect is
that many juniors are starting to feed
into the senior set up, Chris Surman (18)
being a regular first team player this
season, with Henry Tapsell(18) and Callum
Kerr (17) respectively making first team
debut's in the last few weeks, we will
be looking for more of their colleagues
to attend pre- season and challenge for
places in the senior teams.
