A bit of a shambles. Normally we cobble together a squad of bare 11, but with so many missing from the usual bunch, we really cobbled together a big squad. The…
Drop outs; panic attacks; vintage players returning and a handsome victory. The usual for Sassco. 12 announced and then slowly whittled back to around 10 – but what a 10! Before…
Avoiding the wire above the pitch and Bear avoiding the goal. There were a couple of challenges in our repeat game v Sunderland Deaf: Avoiding hitting the two pieces of wire…
The Harpers return and both last a full game (nearly). Our O35’s 11-a-side adventure ended in a whimper, so it was good to be invited to a full 90 minute session…
A game requested by Sunderland Deaf FC, who are taking part in a the Rudolph 5-a-side tournament in Derby, was arranged at the outdoor pitches at Everyone Active Washington. The Sassco team…
Our regular tri or bi-annual game took place again, but this time off the 3G (or is it 4G) and on to grass at Castle View, where we suffered a defeat…
McDermont’s 35 yard “screamer”. Our bi- or tri-annual game against Sunderland AFC’s Deaf team took place at Chester-Le-Street, and shockingly, we had more than a full turn out. A total of…
Our regular run out against Sunderland Deaf was a bit short notice, as their cup game was cancelled. However, two days before the game, the Sassco.co.uk squad was coming together and…
Victory again. Charlie doesn’t score. A bit of a headache today, as we had so many drop outs for our regular football game against Sunderland Deaf FC. One by one, Si,…
A new year and another win for Sassco 11-a-side, who are now unbeaten in nearly two years. Sunderland Deaf Football Club were the opponents and the venue changed time due to…
Charlie’s third hat-trick in as many games and Titch’s “dummy” goal! A much changed line-up saw Sassco take on Sunderland Deaf Football Club at their new venue, Sandhill Centre. Only Craig…
Callum defies the laws of gravity and physics. It was all laughs and giggles before the game. Callum showed up around two shirt sizes bigger and managed to squeeze in the…
Sassco storm back in action, but McDermont still rubbish. It always surprising to me that a team which hasn’t kicked a ball in anger since 2010, can still manage to be…
Muers still firing blanks. It was Sassco’s regular Summer encounter against Rutherford DFC, but the preparations were thrown into chaos, when firstly Marc McDermont claimed he couldn’t make it as he…
Our dispute with the Tyne & Wear League in the Summer of 2004 dragged on. We had looked to move to a Saturday morning league elsewhere, which included a Christian League.…
Worrying times ahead. I’m being a bit pessimistic; after all we were missing a fair few players from the previous game. Andy Turner, Chris Dixon, Mark Muers, Nick Smith, Dan Young,…
An impressive result on everyones day off. The Sunday games closer to the season start pose a bit of a problem for me in getting a squad together. Most of the…
The heavens open as Sassco score seven in the second half. Technically, this was our third pre-season game, but with the mini-break, it seemed as if it was a new start…
Charlie notches up a hat-trick. Bearing last season’s opening friendly in mind, I opted for a large squad and one by one, the numbers dwindled (as expected). But that’s what…
