It was good to start the season with ahard fought victory against Rochdale. Our first game of the new campaign was always going to be atough, with our new players needing acouple of games to 'gel together'. Having said that we will need to Improve In all departments to get a result today. That said, this team has alot of Improvement In them, but Ibelieve we will only improve steadily as we get more games under our belts. Iwould like to extend awarm welcome to our two latest signings, Stephen Stoddart and Jamie Smith. I'm sure they will tit in well, and help strengthen our team. We now have forty players signed on, so competition for places, both in the Alliance and First teams will be fierce. We now have the luxury that, when players do not perform, they will be dropped, or worse still, leave the club. Team spirit is very good and there is an excellent vibe around the place that has not been seen for many seasons. 'i The terrible weather we have experienced of late has caused all sorts of problems for us training wise, and our game preparation has been virtually non¬ existent, with nowhere to train. With the number of football and rugby sides in the area, maybe now ■M we should be looking at the construction of afull size all-weather pitch for the community along the l$f:W lines of the one at Cleator Moor, this could Pi possibly be part of the proposed redevelopment of I f the Cloffocks. % Enjoy the game Gary Murdock wrww.
