reserves final game this saturday
The Reserve side finish their league campaign with a home game against Bay Athletic on Saturday. The Reserve division league trophy will be presented before the game. Ian Wellock (right) has already lifted one trophy this season and at 2pm this Saturday he will lift another.
Supporters are asked to get down early for the presentation and all players will be going out for a few beers afterwards. This is the final home game of the season and the club would like to thank all supporters for their support at home games this season.
The game kicks of at 2.30pm and manager, Clark O'Dwyer will be looking to give games to some squad players who have maybe not played as much as they would have liked to, but never the less have been important members of the squad this season. Also he will be looking to give one or two players a rest before next weeks league cup final at Campion on Friday 16th May when we face Ardsley Celtic.
END OF SEASON AWARDS EVENING
season signed off in style!
Steeton finished the season off in style with their consecutive 5-0 victory. Another superb performance ensured that the season ended on a high. Aaron Hollindrake grabbed a hat-trick , a Dave Scott header and a long range free kick from keeper James Wiggan completed the rout.
Manager Roy Mason was delighted with the result and the way the side went about the game. 'I was pleased with the attitude of the lads today who were determined to finish on a high and since Christmas I could not have asked anymore from the players. They have been a joy to work with and if we can keep all the players together and also add one or two new faces then I'm sure we can look forward to next season with optimism' he added.
DOUBLE DELIGHT
The reserves capped off a superb night at Cougar Park by winning two trophies! - On the night a 3-1 victory over Keighley Shamrocks ensured that the Keighley Supplementary Cup was secured, whilst Ovenden only managed a draw at Bronte to hand us the league title as well.
Despite the unlucky Marc Sennett putting through his own net in the first half, second half strikes from Nicky Trowers, Nicky McNally and Tom Woodward ensured that the trophy returned to Summerhill Lane. Trowers and McNally also had goals ruled out as did Shammies at 1-1 in what was a thrilling final.
The lads now have a break until May 10th when they face Bay Athletic in the final league game of the season before travelling to Campion for the league cup final against Ardsley on May 16th.
Well done to Clark O'Dwyer, Kev Knappy and all the players on a superb season!
