If the prospect of a working class captain with a beard wasn't enough to excite the chaps in the third team, new teams have been added this season with Mitford CC (Morpeth way according to google), Peterlee Casuals (presuably wearing Stone Island and carrying smoke bombs) and Washington CC joining the league.

A bye in the Bob Langford cup will see us play Philadelphia or Wearmouth in the 2nd round whilst in the Division 2 cup, we have been drawn away at Philadelphia.

The longest trip of the season promises to be the journey north to visit our friends at Wansbeck who we have enjoyed entertaining at Littletown for the past 2 seasons.

Further details of friendlies will be added as they are arranged with a 3rd team season preview likely to appear on these pages sometime in April.
