Sassco 11-a-side have ended their eight year run as a competing team in local leagues. Unfortunately, Anthony Pearson, who was reluctantly thrust into running the team wasn’t given much help in…
Heavy defeat for Sassco and a major setback for Fulwell. Two major games on the night between the top two, Nissan and Fulwell, and bottom two, Sassco and Downhill. Both ended…
Another average season from Sassco, blighted by inconsistency. Unlike previous seasons, this campaign saw some heavy defeats against teams, transformed by handsome wins or, at least, massive improvements in results and…
Seaburn win again. Soul Cal’s impressive debut. Downhill’s steady progress. Pleased to say that the Tuesday League is thriving. From a low number of teams back when last season ended, to…
Howe equalises as Sassco tighten up. It only really happens to Sassco. A player refusing to be captain, then the team wandering around in circles around the sports complex, looking for…
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,…
Greenwell’s return marred by an expected defeat. Two games were actually played. The first was a standard 45 minute each way game, ending in a 5-0 defeat, while the second one…
More humiliation. We were already struggling with players. Dan Young and David Oxley both dropped the team in it, but we managed to scrape together ten players and persuaded Dan Carson…
Possibly the poorest Sassco season for a number of years, easily the most disappointing since we dropped out of the top division in 2005, without a single win to our name.…
Same old, same old with Sassco. A more than decent line up ended in a farcical performance and swathes of in-fighting including “you’re shitter than me” competitions amongst individual players; namely…
Brave performance from nine men. Well what can I say? Yes, my legs weren’t as long as I thought they were and didn’t reach the ball, which went on through for…
Fusion defeat WWC FC. Downhill Impact 6 Sassco.co.uk 5.Firstly, Logan launches one of the longest throws ever, considering that most humans can spit further than he can throw a ball. The…
Both Town End and New Tavern ejected from the League. Redhouse Fusion 3 Downhill Impact 2. Redhouse Fusion only had five players, but took the game to Downhill Impact. An early…
Town End “Thunder” past a sorry Sassco. WWC 4 Downhill Impact 0. Downhill’s last game was the historic 1-0 victory over the Champions, but this week (after a one week break),…
Brian, as Team Secretary, has known all the background goings on within the Sassco Organisation for the last few years. Brian has always been involved in football even from an early…
In the first of a series of interviews, Michael Pearson, a long standing, original member of the team, now Assistant Coach, answers some in-depth questions. Michael was selected by General Manager,…
A few weeks back, as I was getting booted around the pitch by the Lay brother’s (both not even twenty years of age at the time), I decided that it’s either…
Another comeback. Sassco are widely becoming the comeback kings now. Two weeks ago, it was a 3-0 deficit, now it was a 3-1 reverse. Greenwell, after the traumatic experience of being…
Stubba assists with two. I take the blame for todays defeat. Why? Well, not for the on the pitch theatrics, but because I spent a couple of seasons trying to get…
Anth Pearson’s rare double strike! Unfortunately, Hendon Rovers have withdrawn from the competition due to lack of available players. This combined with Redhouse Stars leaving means that we are back down…
Good effort, but nothing to show for it. Despite the negative scoreline, it was Sassco’s best 90 minute performance after two poor opening games. But, being realistic, it was just another…
Wasted second half opportunity. We were definitely going to be short this week. I knew this from last week when Nelly, Farquhar, Stoker and Langan all scarpered without getting the nets…
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 driving force behind the tour has been myself (Davinder Sangha) as well as all the players who came on the Malta Tour 2009. I expected Malta to be a one…
A good run out and a good performance. A humid day and a good victory with a full Sassco team despite missing quite a few of the regular players. Macca, Marky,…
Four players from Sassco out of a squad of six took part on the behalf of Azure-design.com in the PowerLeague Five-a-side Cup in Gateshead. The players involved were Davinder Sangha (in…
Pre-season in full swing as Sassco let a 1-0 lead slip. The so called regular cup game against Redhouse FC didn’t materialise during the season, so we managed to get it…
The new Portugal Tour 2009 shirt is as shown in the image. The brand is Adidas (obviously) and the sizes are based on the requests made by the individual player. The…
An amazing four goals for Jimmy Raeper. I read a mini-riot act prior to the game, threatening those with outstanding subs to pay up or be benched. Also, the threat was…
A good second half is thwarted by missed chances. I was the first one there. I arrive long before kick off at around 4:50pm and instead of twiddling with my dipstick,…
