An update on the Sassco Basketball team. Report by Alan Hoyle: The team is doing fantastic. We lost our season opener, but have won our last 3 games, so we are…
Team changes. A number of teams have struggled in past weeks and are in the process of being replaced. The ones named are Fusion, Soca and Roar. Seaburn Soca (Wear Consulting)…
Professional hammering. The next day, we got a bit of an early morning hammering from our esteemed opponents, UE Sants. They were very good and played quick Futsal. Hembrough was getting…
Select set to dominate. When Tarnjit Sangha took over an obscure TCB Accountancy team from Season 1 and 2 and opened with a defeat against Crown, little did anyone expect what…
Ramsay’s second half goal gives Sassco their first win. Quite a few chances from last week’s game against Northern Alliance Chemfica. In came Nicky Smith, Nick Danks, Dan Young, Andy Turner…
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…
Muers is substituted for Sangha. Another depleted squad, but this time, a superb win. Sassco eventually ground Arms Citys down and scored two second half goals to make the 1-1 half-time…
Walking wounded. Bit of a disaster. The first ever Monday evening game in the WCFL for Sassco. It didn’t start well considering we had to rely on the ever unreliable Wayne…
Narrow but dominant win. Champagne corks popping as Stoker misses a penalty. Chances were well missed. The loudest cheer was when Stoker stepped up and missed a penalty. The cheering came…
Depleted squad lifted by Sangha’s first ever assist. Loads missing; not happy at all. Scott Smith is out for a while due to shin splints, Gourlay was injured, Stoker and Langan…
Stoker busts Macca’s lip. Dave and Scott Smith, plus Campbell were missing from this expected win. It didn’t start too well. We weren’t under any real threat, but the early goal…
Lack of numbers; inevitable defeat. I was as surprised as anyone on the pitch that we were 2-0 up in a difficult first half. Gourlay had struck first and Muers struck…
Apart from his goal, Emu did f**k all and now owes £24 to Durham FA. Pearson opened the scoring but I was bricking it as the nice white shirts we were…
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…
Hylton won 4-2 on penalties. I’m in preparation to be hauled up and bent over in front of the discipline committee, who will take turns running along the corridor to boot…
Juventude Sport Campinense 1 Sassco.co.uk 1. As expected, the paranoia kicked in about 6:00pm on the Thursday evening. I must have sent around seven or eight (or more) texts to everyone…
He steals the show again. WWC 3 IPS 0. It was all Teeb again. He turned up with instructions to wear white shorts and white socks, but in “Teeb World” white…
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…
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…
We will be playing Northern League opponents, West Auckland Town FC. The venue is Gateshead’s 3G artificial turf. West Auckland are the same famous club which was founded in 1893. They…
AA hit Hendon for eight and Hylton Castle fail to show. A demoralising start to the evening occured when Hylton failed to present a team. This means that they have been…
Previous, current and future shirts. As expected, we have comprehensive records of the shirts in the team kits worn by the various teams throughout the years. We’ve always had images and…
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…
01 Dave Smith Returns as goalkeeper for the tour. Currently playing for Sassco on Saturday when the manager gets one of his sadistic moments and forces Simpson to play outfield. An…
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,…
A misunderstood soul. Gareth Brazier first popped into life as a referee in the Sassco League. Being one of the youngest there, he had his fair share of abuse (the majority…
