31/01/10 For the 2nd week in a row, a full set of Youth league fixtures took place despite earlier concern after the overnight snow-fall, with so many fixtures previously having been lost due to the rain and frost, creating a now serious backlog of games. It is hoped no further matches will be postponed because of the weather. We still wait for the changing rooms at Cottam Hall to be repaired and re-opened, after damage caused by burst pipes in the roof space 3 weeks ago, hopefully this work will be completed by Wyre Borough, so we can begin to use the facility again next weekend.
Many thanks to the Gazette for their excellent looking-back feature concerning our football club, printed in the AllStars section of the paper on the 20th January.
.
The leagues have an unenviable job trying to re-arrange fixtures for later in the season, but with the large number of league and cup matches still to be played for all the age groups, along with the likelyhood of more non-footballing weekends, a re-assessment of how we complete the season may have to be made.
We hope our players soon return to doing what they enjoy 'playing football'.
