Delighted to have confirmed 11 Sassco players for the Play on the Pitch event at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, in May 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n The team is scheduled to play against a similar team organised by Michael Brown. The opponents have been similarly pulled together and don’t play regular 11-a-side.<\/p>\n The Sassco line up is as follows:<\/p>\n Delighted to have confirmed 11 Sassco players for the Play on the Pitch event at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light, in May […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Goalkeeper who appeared on two tours and several years in the 11-a-side team. Broke his foot recently; nice.<\/li>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Replaces the non-paying Tim Gillespie, so the obvious choice in attack. Played for a number of years in the 6-a-side, but never for Sassco in 11-a-side, so not scarred yet.<\/li>\n
\nOur new “Muers” and Djilibodji at centre half. Always the first name on the team sheet. Can’t wait.<\/li>\n
\nStrong centre half and always plays the offside rule when he’s halfway up the pitch and Sangha is usually around 10 metres behind him. On most of the tours and 11-a-side games since 1999 and through the glory years (?).<\/li>\n
\nLeft back or right back. Important member of the team (by organising kits).<\/li>\n
\nA Geordie, but an energetic one who enjoys playing at the SOL (unlike his favourite team). Played on a couple of tours and a stalwart of the 11-a-side team from 2005 until today.<\/li>\n
\nOne of only two players to be present\u00a0on every tour. Floating around since 1999. Team captain for the 11-a-side and all round decent chap – loved by his team mates.<\/li>\n
\nRecent addition with a few 11-a-side games under his belt and regular 5-a-side games.<\/li>\n
\nAnother energetic Geordie who’s donned the Sassco jersey for 5-a-side. Our hopes rest on him.<\/li>\n
\nSnake Hips forward who drops deep due to ill health and tiredness. Played in three tours and the 11-a-side and 6-a-side.<\/li>\n
\nCentre forward with a heart problem who will be making his Sassco debut at the Stadium. What a way to go!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
