Sassco, with only five men, put on an ultra defensive performance in the first half and held it to 0-0. Eventually, they managed to get Anth Linley on just before half time, but were 3-1 down and never looked like getting back into it. Muers was particularly laborious and the team was put to the sword by Sporting&#8217;s outfield of Johnston, Hunt, Borat, Catcheside and Walker.

A point blank save from Wooton and various other stops culminated in a penalty shoot out after a 0-0 draw.

Stunningly, Castle only had five men.

The team, now combined with Impact, looks like a decent performer for next season and this 0-0 draw will, no doubt, boost confidence.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong>Hylton Castle 3 Hendon Lions 0 <\/strong>Pool A <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Three defeats in the group for Hendon, which wasn&#8217;t entirely surprising considering that they were in the strongest group. A goal prior to half time from Keith Moon settled the Castler&#8217;s nerves before two additional strikes, including an excellent one from Kevin Gordon, means it&#8217;s all down to the last game against Tommy Bell&#8217;s AA Fabrications team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> A &amp; A Fabrications (Bell Redhouse) 3 Redhouse Youth&#8217;s 0 <\/strong>Pool A <\/em><\/p>\n<p>In the previous cup, the Youth&#8217;s hammered Bell&#8217;s team, but it was a reverse here. Charlie grabbed two goals, while &#8220;Yes, Trigger&#8221; scored the other. A great win for Tommy Bell and AA. The make or break game next week sees them facing off against Hylton Castle in a game where only a heavy defeat will see them out. If Bell&#8217;s team loses, then Hylton Castle and themselves will be through to the Semi Finals at the expense of Redhouse Youth&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> Sassco.co.uk 3 Hylton Lions 0 <\/strong>(match awarded)<\/em> <em>Pool A <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jordan Reid&#8217;s Lions team failed to show and Sassco were awarded the win.

That combined with the level of football seen in the Hylton Castle v Redhouse Youth&#8217;s game sees a distant fourth spot beckoning. Sporting picked off two shocking passes early in the game to race into a 2-0 lead. Just as they looked to overwhelm Sassco, Lewis grabbed one back. Second half saw Sassco fail to get the ball forward quick enough and saw Sporting add to their tally with a third goal. They eventually won 5-1, with Harrison getting a hat-trick, while Greener and Anderson scored the others. Sporting are through, while Sassco need to beat the Lions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong>Downhill Impact 4 Hylton Lions 3 <\/strong>Pool B <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>After suffering nearly 600 minutes of winless football, Dan Carson tried to shy off coming on to the pitch as Downhill Impact were shockingly 2-0 down. That combined with Josh Lay coming on to the pitch dressed like he&#8217;d come from the gym, saw Downhill also hit with a fine (shared between Downhill and Josh Lay). However, as Carson stepped on to the pitch, he convinced himself that this wasn&#8217;t the week he was going to look like an arse. Eventually, Downhill led 3-2, before being pegged back and then grabbing the winner. They now need to defeat Sporting to have a chance of getting through. But, with Carson&#8217;s first win &#8211; anything can happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> Redhouse Youth&#8217;s 2 Hylton Castle 0 <\/strong>Pool A <\/em><\/p>\n<p>A full-strength Hylton Castle team saw Kevin Snowdon power in the opening goal late in the second half in a very tight and intense game. Two good strong teams at each other from the off. Eventually, a late free kick from Ramsay saw the Youth&#8217;s safely take the win with their second win in the group. Highly unlikely they won&#8217;t get through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> A &amp; A Fabrications (Bell Redhouse) 4 Hendon Rovers 0<\/strong><\/em> <em>Pool A <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not the strongest team Bell could have put out, but good enough to defeat Hendon.

Surely more showings by him would give any opponent a chance. Jimmy Raeper, Tommy Bell, Liam Wooton and a pile driver from the rapidly thinning out Paul McClusky saw a complete 4-0 rout.<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">28th October 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"AGUKsmall\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/superleaguesmall.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"129\" height=\"45\" align=\"left\" \/>Sporting and Youth&#8217;s cruise through.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">2-0 wins over Sassco and Hylton Castle.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span class=\"style46\"><span class=\"style45 style19 style42\"><strong><em>Sassco.co.uk 3 Downhill Impact 1<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span class=\"style40 style19 style42\"> <em>Pool B <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The first game in the AGUK Super League Cup was played in sub-zero conditions. Luckily, the rain stayed away and the first half saw Lewis fire in the opening goal not long after kick off. It was only until the second half when Sassco gained some breathing space. David &#8220;Frog&#8221; Bewick, who spent a frustrated evening being thwarted by Sangha, saw his two shots blocked by the aforementioned Sangha, and then the ball at the other end of the field finished off by a resurgent Tyzack. It was only when Sangha came off near the end that Downhill gained a goal from Ed Morrison. They ruined it all by letting Muers score the third goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> Sporting Redhouse 11 Hylton Lions 0 <\/strong>Pool B <\/em><\/p>\n<p>A rude awakening for Hylton Lions, as their young team was pummelled into submission by a Sporting team, flying high after retaining their Open Cup last week. Anderson and Catchy got around four each, while Harrison got two and Cromack one. Poor Trevor Walker failed to notch one in a hugely one sided game. Both this and the Sassco game were from Pool B in the groups, unarguably the weakest of the two groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40 style19 style42\"><em><strong> Redhouse Youth&#8217;s 2 Hendon Rovers 0<\/strong><\/em> <em>Pool A <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Two stunning goals from Ramsay, either side of the half, saw this game in favour of the Youth&#8217;s. Another full-strength side came out from the disappointing Open Cup appearance and generally dominated this low key affair. An important win as Hylton Castle, FC Bell Redhouse would all be expected to get maximum points from Hendon. It could be a case that Hendon decide the group if they manage to upset the odds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">21st October 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"AGUKsmall alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/open_c_small.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"74\" height=\"45\" align=\"left\" \/>Sporting trounce the Youth&#8217;s in the Cup Final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">The favourites retain the Trophy.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/21-10-08-1.jpg\" alt=\"12th Open Cup winners!

This seemed to give the Youth&#8217;s a better opportunity as Sporting were forced to play an aging and creaking Mark Kelsey.<\/p>\n<p>However, he turned the game on it&#8217;s head as he added to Sporting&#8217;s opening strike (an excellent free-kick from Gareth Greener) when he met Catchy&#8217;s low cross first time to fire past the flailing Dinning. 2-0 and within minutes it was 3-0 from Trevor Walker. THis all within a few minutes. A devastating 3-0 scoreline which didn&#8217;t change in the second half. Billy Harrison fired one off the crossbar and out, but a slow motion replay showed it was clearly outside.<\/p>\n<p>Sporting retain the Open Cup for the second season running, and it&#8217;s likely they&#8217;d be considered hot favourites to come out on top in the next competition &#8211; the Super League Cup. Ironically, based on current form, they are likely to be hot favourites to win Season 13, Sassco&#8217;s 10th Anniversary Season.

They only have two remaining games against Sporting (again) and Downhill FC. If they lose both and Sporting win all theirs, then Sporting win the Title. However, it&#8217;s unlikely that they would come out of the Downhill FC game with no points. As most people are aware, Hylton Castle came in as replacements for AFC Redhouse. By that time, AFC had secured a 100% record and some have said that AFC cleared the way. But when you look at it closely, AFC had beaten the following teams: ALS (Now Sassco Impact) Downhill, Witherwack, Sassco and FC Hendon, before Hylton took over. It&#8217;s quite obvious that Hylton Castle would have defeated all these, give or take maybe dropping a point here or there.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span class=\"style12 style19 style42\"><em>Match report by <\/em><\/span><\/span><em>Tarnjit Sangha (Sporting Redhouse).<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Sporting Redhouse turned up with a full strength side. Six outfield players all ready to rotate and keep the opposition on a right old back foot. All set and ready to conquer the young upstarts from Hylton Castle. Castle themselves only had the six players. A surprise since as they usually turn up with at least two available to come on from the subs bench. It wasn&#8217;t to be and Danny Hall and an air of trepidation about him. \u00a0 It should have been a walk in the park for Sporting&#8230;.Was it hell \u00a0 Castle showed all the guts and endeavour and great tactical depth to keep hitting Sporting on the break. The conditions were terrible. A real downpour. But both teams had to suffer it. Castle coped better. Sporting just couldn&#8217;t get their passing together whereas Castle were sharp and tenacious in their play. Against the run of play, Castle took the lead. Sporting equalised&#8230;Again Castle went in the lead only for Sporting to immediately equalise after the break. \u00a0 But as Sporting&#8217;s game fell apart, Castle&#8217;s came together. Two further goals gave the boys from Hylton Castle a well deserved 4-2 victory and what could well be a decisive strike in the Title battle. Well done Hylton Castle!!! Sporting scorers were Billy Harrison and Trevor Walker.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Redhouse Youth&#8217;s 4 FC Bell Redhouse 0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive win for the Youth&#8217;s over the previously in-form FC Bell Redhouse team.

1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sassco really didn&#8217;t look too interested in their clash against Sporting Redhouse. Two clangers from Sangha and Muers meant it was 2-0 against them within a matter of minutes. After that, no one looked as if they could fathom another 28 minutes or so as Sporting ran up another four goals. Tyson fired one in for Sassco at the end, but it was only a consolation. Borat Anderson scored four goals by running from deep, while Walker and Catcheside scored the other two. Billy Harrison failed to score as he was busy asking me if he was the top scorer in the League so far.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\"><strong><em> Redhouse Youth&#8217;s 6 Downhill FC 0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Youth&#8217;s also took to the heat with poor Downhill suffering, after some recent, decent performances. Downhill were claiming that the kit colours were too close to each other and spent the game passing to their rampant opponents. Coyney supposedly scored a wonder goal, but there were no witnesses who came forward to verify his goal. Taylor scored one from a tight angle, but the referee awarded a goalkeeper ball for stepping in the box, which soon wiped the toothless grin off his face. After the game, Anthony Pearson venomously lashed out at Doughty&#8217;s poor man-management skills and general tactical naivety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\"><strong><em>Hylton Castle 2 FC Bell Redhouse 0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FC Bell Redhouse, without the Bell, were a bit disorganised as Grant was forced to take &#8220;Yes, Trigger&#8221; home for his boots, despite both of them failing to put two and two together and realising that the pitchside was full of footballers (hence available football boots). It was a bit like going home from Asda because you&#8217;d forgotten your carrier bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\">Anyhow, they started, and within around fifty seconds, Grant and Keith Moon (for Hylton Castle) were dismissed for an almighty fight in the middle of the field. All I can really remember of it was Anth Mouat constantly blowing his whistle as if the high pitched squeal would pull them both apart. Not being sharp enough, I failed to get any of the action on camera. The game was restarted as five-a-side and eventually, Hylton Castle got the rewards with a goal past an impressive stand-in performance from Rob Woodward (all the other &#8216;keepers were in Spain). Soon after, Hylton scored again, and despite a few choice words between the two Middlemiss&#8217;s (Denni and Chris), the game ended without incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\">As FC Bell Redhouse players are on a pay as you play basis, it means that Grant owes me about 15 pence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/22-07-08-2.jpg\" alt=\"Fulwell Blue Bell v Sassco Impact.\" width=\"785\" height=\"377\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"style40\"><strong><em>Fulwell Blue Bell 2 <\/em><\/strong><em><strong>Sassco Impact 1 <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Fulwell Blue Bell were camped in the Sassco Impact half and the reward paid off when Logan was beaten by Reggie. In the second half, Sassco Impact got back into it when Smithy, surrounded by the Fulwell backline, squeezed through and scored a superb goal. Almost instantly, Fulwell scored again. 2-1 and the score remained that way. A good win for Fulwell as they look very comfortable after two games. At the end of the game, Logan&#8217;s sticky fingers were in action again as he took Minnican&#8217;s (Downhill goalkeeper) gloves. Also pre-match his can of Calsberg didn&#8217;t really help as he was also drink driving (on his bike). I did see him somehow crash through the side of the fence and get stuck for a while. A true comedy moment. Unfortunately, the camera was packed away and no one was there to witness it.

It didn&#8217;t happen, and only a double save from Craig Dinning, who&#8217;s been fighting to keep his place in the team, kept the score at 0-0. Youth&#8217;s eventually fired one in, but it was the only goal of the game despite their dominance. Perhaps it was the fact that Hendon somehow managed to squeeze themselves into the ten year old green and white Herrenknecht shirts from Season 1, which gave them the extra breath and streamlined physique. Nevertheless, it&#8217;s three points for the Youth&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em> Sporting Redhouse 4 FC Bell Redhouse 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>FC Bell Redhouse took to the field against a strong looking Sporting team. Bell was back for Redhouse and they took the lead against the run of play with a &#8220;Yes Trigger&#8221; goal. Sporting came back and eventually took the lead with two goals. But then two superbly worked free kicks gave FC Bell Redhouse a 3-2 lead. As the game neared to a close, Sporting equalised, but moments later scored the winner. A shocker for Bell Redhouse, as they were hugely disappointed, but a critical win for Sporting Redhouse as they were close to a second defeat.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hylton Castle 1 Sassco Impact 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sassco Impact had Logan to thank again for an outstanding performance to give Impact a 1-1 draw against Hylton Castle. Impact finally scored a goal with Humble getting one on the break. Ironically, Hylton Castle equalised immediately, but the second half saw Logan receiving yet another battering, but coming out with a point. This is the first set of points dropped by Hylton Castle all season. There was some criticism on the sidelines (Anth Pearson) about Impact being overly defensive and negative. Unlike Downhill &#8211; who concede goals for fun, Impact are are tight at the back. Downhill think conceding goals is part and parcel of the way a team should play, but then again, Downhill are the Sassco League&#8217;s equivalent of those people who self harm and cut themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sassco.co.uk 1 Fulwell Blue Bell 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fulwell Blue Bell, under the control of Rob King, came into play, replacing Witherwack. The team was well organised, fully kitted and seemed to cope well with the rules. However, the opening half against Sassco saw them chasing the ball as Sassco, through Lee Cresswell, took a 1-0 lead. They came back into it near the end of the half, but the second saw a complete turnaround. Blue Bell dominated and it was only the legend that is Simma, who kept the score at 1-0. Danny Hall was on show for Sassco, but unfortunately, he turned out a bit larger than the trimmer version last seen being sent off in the Thursday League a good few months back. Today the closest description you could say about him was that he performed and looked like a fatally wounded Rhino. Anyway, late in the game, Reggie broke clear from a ruckus of players and curled one in for Fulwell&#8217;s equaliser. Right at the death, Mark Cresswell shattered the cross bar as both teams shared the points.<\/p>\n<p>The League Table now shows Fulwell back in it as they&#8217;ve taken over Witherwack&#8217;s games.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">1<\/td>\n<td>Hylton Castle<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">30<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">26<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">2<\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">31<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">19<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">22<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">17<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">4<\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">26<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">17<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>Fulwell Blue Bell<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">23<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">31<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">6<\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">28<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">40<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">7<\/td>\n<td>FC Bell Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">20<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">26<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">8<\/td>\n<td>Sassco Impact<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">30<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-19<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">9<\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">37<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-27<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">8th July 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\">Logan thwarts the Youth&#8217;s again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">Sassco&#8217;s unbeaten run ended by FC Redhouse.

In contrast, Sassco Impact presented the future, with fresh faced youngsters with boundless energy. Sassco, the older version, presented the same old tired team. Lewis suffering from hay fever, Macca struggling to understand how to control a ball and Sangha playing in boots which were a good few years older than his opponents.

It all didn&#8217;t end there for Gav as that dodgy lamp post caught his car bumper out as he was leaving.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">1<\/td>\n<td>Hylton Castle<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">23<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">21<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">21<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">2<\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">21<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">14<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">4<\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">19<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">18<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">31<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-13<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">6<\/td>\n<td>FC Hendon<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">21<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">7<\/td>\n<td>Sassco Impact<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">22<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-14<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">8<\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">25<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-16<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">24th June 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\">Castle on 100% with a win over the Youth&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">Sassco in second place.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, FC Hendon have pulled out of the League.

Due to the &#8220;hand round the neck and subsequent slow squeezing&#8221; incident on Thursday, AFC (or rather Gash Brazier) felt they could no longer participate in the League. Danny Hodgson&#8217;s Hylton Castle, the powerful team from a few seasons past, are going to take their place, so at least it&#8217;s a strong team replacing a strong team. They come into a position which is 100% perfect; with five wins out of five. Also, Dan Carson&#8217;s under 18 team, Sassco Impact (or at least a cut down version of the new 11-a-side team) came in and replaced ALS. Finally, Witherwack&#8217;s unexpected no show means a hefty \u00a325 fine as well as points deducted. Normally teams who don&#8217;t show up on the day are completely ejected. However, considering that they were one of the more reliable teams in the League, if they pay up, they will be allowed back in.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/27-05-08-1.jpg\" alt=\"Redhouse Youth v Sassco Impact.

Disappointment from FC Hendon as there&#8217;s nothing you can do if a player fails to show.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Hylton Castle<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">15<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">14<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td>FC Hendon<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">15<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">11<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">20<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sassco Impact<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">16<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">15<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">20th May 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\">Youth&#8217;s look like joint favourites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">Sassco coast against the Rovers.

Youth&#8217;s have been making steady progress since Ramsay&#8217;s return and Murton and Hembrough&#8217;s departure. But no one expected them to decisively defeat a moribund Sporting Redhouse team. Overconfidence played it&#8217;s part and by the time Ramsay and Baxendale had hammered in two quick goals, it was effectively over. In the second half a further goal from Baxendale threatened to turn it into a rout. A few choice saves by Sangha were eventually rewarded with a Sporting goal. And despite some pressure, the records will record a critical win for Redhouse Youth by three to one against the Champions. So the Youth&#8217;s, wearing Downhill&#8217;s unlucky kit (never seen the lucky one) secure a historic win, but what now for Sporting.

A difficult game for both teams, as both had points to prove. Rovers had their superb, backs to the wall draw with ALS last week while just before, FC Hendon suffered a defeat to Sassco. FC Hendon seemed to have the majority of the possession and chances. Rovers were leading 3-2 with only a few minutes to spare, only to see FC Hendon equalise. Probably a deserved scoreline. David Newby, making his debut for FC Hendon, grabbed two goals, with Gavin Green scoring the other. Goals from Hendon Rovers came from Wayne Ramsay and the two Danny&#8217;s. Wayne Ramsay could have sealed it near the end for Hendon Rovers, but it wasn&#8217;t to be.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Witherwack 5 Downhill FC 0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Downhill arrived on the scene as &#8220;dead men walking&#8221;. It was only the influence of the rapidly deteriorating Anthony Pearson which gave them any hope as he hit the post and came close on another occasion. Witherwack were rampant. Liam Wooten and Kallum Griffiths scored two each while Steve Conlin added the other. The win keeps them at the top as other teams are now playing catch up.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>AFC Redhouse 3 Sassco.co.uk 0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A simple trouncing for AFC over Sassco, as it was revenge served. Sassco have fallen short against the stronger teams like they always have in the League and a wonder strike from 35 yards by Gash Brazier separated the teams at half time. Brazier&#8217;s been under pressure considering AFC&#8217;s superb win last week and his own players were criticising him in the opening minutes as he was nearly dismissed by his nemesis, Anth Mouat, for over complaining (again). However, he answered his critics in style. Ironically, his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, David &#8220;Bunta&#8221; Murton was making his nomadic appearance, this time for Sassco. Unfortunately it ended in disaster against one of his old teams (yes, one of many). In the second half, with both &#8216;keepers barely tested, Sangha decided to come off and by the time he&#8217;d wandered up the field, Sassco were 3-0 down with genuine backwards defending on show. Charlie had clear strikes for both the goals. By the time Sangha got back on and wasted his reportage of many swear words, the game ended and AFC gained some critical points considering that their rivals, Sporting, have dropped them.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Witherwack<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">21<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">20<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td>AFC Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">18<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">16<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">14<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>FC Hendon<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td>ALS<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">20<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-10<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">13<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">9<\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">27<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-22<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a name=\"daykin\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">6th May 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\">Five man Hendon Rovers hold out against nine man ALS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">AFC rampant against Witherwack.

Muers was missing (a good thing), but the Cresswell&#8217;s (both of them) were also missing along with Mulvaney. FC Hendon were also struggling to find extra players, but in the end, both teams managed to get reasonably strong sides out. Sassco dug out the legendary Peter Daykin, once prolific contributor to ALS and Sex &amp; Chocolate, as well as a regular in the League for SNC back in the good old days. His last appearance was back in 2004, a staggering four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The game itself was flowing from end to end. Sassco gained a breakaway goal with Lewis firing in a superb opener. After some near FC Hendon misses, Lewis added to his tally as Sassco looked comfortable. He nearly became the villain on the piece as he conceded a penalty, but Simpson was equal to it and Sassco went in at half time leading 2-0. Second half saw FC Hendon pressing and shaving the post on many occasions. Gary Green forced his way through the defence to make it 2-1. FC Hendon were on the ascendancy, but another breakaway goal from Lewis &#8211; his hat-trick, meant Sassco took the three points and inflicted FC Hendon&#8217;s first defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Daykin also returns into obscurity with his reputation intact.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sporting Redhouse 6 Downhill FC 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>An unusually disorganised Downhill were no match for the Champions, who were making their second appearance this season. An opening goal was replied to with an accurate strike from Ed Morrison. The cheers went up as everyone enjoys a goal conceded by Sporting. But nothing lasts forever and Sporting, featuring a full strength side, including Hembrough, The Traitor, Anderson, Harrison and Walker drove onwards and secured a handsome with with six goals to one. Anth Pearson, the veteran Downhill supremo is missing for a good few months after dislocating his shoulder playing the namby pamby sport of Tennis.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Hendon Rovers 2 ALS 2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A truly remarkable result from Hendon Rovers. They only had four men and drafted in a goalkeeper who had no experience of using his hands. Even with all this against them, they took the game to ALS and fired in a brilliant opener. ALS were good enough to make a comeback, but missed a penalty which certainly didn&#8217;t help them. They did get one in open play from Rollin, but shockingly, Rovers got one back. At the death Adil Ali fired in an equaliser for ALS as they looked dejected. The game was like a defeat from them. Rovers were elated and probably quite surprised. It proves that teams turning up short need never to give up.

ALS controlled the game for the opening minutes, but Liam Wooton replied for Witherwack, who unlike last week, had a full and strong side out. Moments later it was 2-1. Ageing superstar, Paul Mouat was also on show for ALS and when the not so superstar, Joe Spraggon, came on, ALS quickly went 3-1 down. The eventual score was 7-2, with Wooton bagging three and Kallum Griffiths (a genuine superstar) getting four goals. A brilliant response from Witherwack, but back to the drawing board for ALS.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Redhouse Youths 2 Sassco.co.uk 0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A full strength Youths team was rarely troubled by Sassco throughout the game. Lax marking led to Stephen Ramsay firing in from a tight angle after around ten minutes. After that, it was mostly the Youths taking control, with Simpson making some excellent stops. Sassco hit the post late on, but at the death, Ramsay fired in another one in a game where Sassco didn&#8217;t really look like they were going to score.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\"

The Champions overcome Hendon Rovers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/22-04-08.jpg\" alt=\"The current champions, Sporting Redhouse, cruised to a 3-1 win over Hendon Rovers\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A few teams cancelled the game at quite short notice, and by that I mean late Sunday and Monday. Downhill stepped into the breach to play two games, but in future, all cancellations must be notified on a Sunday. I generally allow games to be cancelled until about 10th May (due to 11-a-side) but after that, no cancellations are allowed and those that have to cancel, tend to have the win awarded against them.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sporting Redhouse 3 Hendon Rovers 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Champions were opening their account in Season 12 with a game against Hendon Rovers. Tarnjit Sangha, suffering from the same infliction that his rival, Gareth Brazier seems to have been suffering from, boasted that his team would go the season unbeaten and become Treble Winners. With Scott Hembrough now on board, he may have good chance. The win over Hendon was quite straightforward &#8211; although Paul McConville&#8217;s technical team from the other FC Hendon, the League leaders, were making extensive notes on Sporting. It was a slow paced game. Sporting scored early from Billy Harrison and then added two more from Trevor Walker. Hendon scored late in the second, but it was only a consolation goal. It was a hard game once again for Hendon who have faced the League leaders and the current Champions. But they squandered their chances and Sporting were a hard team to break down with some good passing and possession football.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>AFC Redhouse 6 Downhill FC 0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The strongest looking Downhill team for quite a while suffered a bit of a pummelling against AFC, who didn&#8217;t seem to break sweat. Gash Brazier put his money where his mouth was and scored four goals while Grant Foster and Flash Jordan hit the other two. Downhill conceded within the opening minutes much to the surprise, shock and disdain of their only superstar, Mickey Pearson, who at this minute is busy tidying up his CV to send to ALS&#8217;s supremo, Brian Watson.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Sassco.co.uk 8 Witherwack 0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A spectacular result for Sassco. True, Witherwack were quite weakened, but Sassco also lost Keith Mouat (injury) and Dave Gourlay (can&#8217;t be bothered). In came Lee Cresswell, as Sassco fired in five goals in the opening half. A further three in the second saw the three points firmly in Sassco&#8217;s court. Mark Cresswell and Stephen Lewis both got hat-tricks while Lee Cresswell scored two.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>ALS 2 Downhill FC 2<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Logan was in fine form again for ALS as he repelled everything thrown at him. A breakaway goal saw ALS 1-0 up before Mickey Pearson responded with a deflected drive. A total cock up from the returning Rikki Kennedy allowed a three on one situation to give ALS the lead. But late on, a disputed free-kick was quickly taken by the aforementioned Kennedy who hammered it home while ALS were busy arguing. Points shared. Brett Wilson and Paul Davison were the scorers for ALS.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td

class=\"archivemainheadline\">Logan comes back to haunt Sassco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">Ramsay returns for the Youth&#8217;s. Rare header fails to inspire Hendon Rovers<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/08-04-08-1.jpg\" alt=\"Anthony Yates in action for Redhouse Youths against Downhill FC\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Redhouse Youth 6 Downhill FC 0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two old soldiers were back for this straightforward win for Redhouse Youth (name to be changed soon). Ramsay was on song for the Youth team while Mickey Pearson made a show for Downhill after his recent surge in football. A stubborn opening few minutes saw Anth Pearson make some remarkable stops for Downhill as he was the stand in &#8216;keeper. It didn&#8217;t last because Stef Mitchell fired an opener from a tight angle and then Ramsay scored a superb volley. A further goals gave the Youth&#8217;s an excellent three points and it seemed to be back to the &#8220;old&#8221; Youth&#8217;s with no new superstars on show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"style12 style36\">Redhouse Youth are fined \u00a35 for two players wearing incorrect shirts. Also, the red Nike shirts provided will have to be returned to the League organisers as they were loaned out to avoid kit fines. If a team can&#8217;t adhere to the rule even when shirts are provided, then the shirts will be given to another team.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"small-side alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/08-04-08-2.jpg\" alt=\"ALS - A Love Supreme squad pictured after the 3-3 draw against Sassco.co.uk\" width=\"390\" height=\"273\" align=\"right\" \/>Sassco.co.uk 3 ALS 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One word was the reason why Sassco didn&#8217;t take all three points &#8211; Logan! Having spent most of his time battling at the wrong end of the table with Sassco, Logan came back for ALS and within minutes was the catalyst for their remarkable 3-3 draw. Much is expected of Sassco this season. They have a decent side and also come into to Season 12 as the Super League winners. Looking back on a frustrating game, they can marvel at the amount of squandered chances they had. ALS scored first with Stephen Stokoe firing one in. Sassco responded near the end of the half, but the second saw Paul Davison latch on to an error by Davinder Sangha to fire through Simpson&#8217;s legs. Again, Sassco equalised, but a poor pass followed by Muers being out of position saw Jordan Robson score a third. ALS only have around four or five shots on goal and clinically scored three. Amazingly, Sassco scored again (Lewis scored two and Cresswell the other goal for Sassco in the game). At the death, Logan made some excellent stops as he did all game to give ALS a share of the points. Sassco can stop patting themselves on the back and start the hard grind of the League campaign.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Witherwack 3 Hendon Rovers 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Steve Conlin and Liam Wooton got the three goals for Witherwack in a game which was quite tight throughout. It was 1-0 for quite a while and then Lee Ramsay scored a header (which are rare in the 6-a-side) to equalise. As the game opened up, Witherwack scored their further goals including a bit of a howler from the Witherwack &#8216;keeper. Hendon Rovers had more than enough chances and opportunities, but failed to take them.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Witherwack<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td>FC Hendon<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td>AFC Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td>ALS<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">9<\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">8<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p id=\"1april2008\" class=\"archivebanner\">1st April 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"AGUKsmall\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/superleaguesmall.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"129\" height=\"45\" align=\"left\" \/>Sassco shock the favourites in the Final.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\">A 0-0 shut out ends with a 3-1 shoot out victory for Sassco.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheadline\"><strong><em><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/Sassco-Season-11-AGUK-Cup-W.jpg\" alt=\"The winning Sassco team with the AGUK Super League trophy\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"style33\"><span class=\"style32\">Sassco pictured with the AGUK Super League Trophy.

Sassco presented the same line up as in their tremendous Semi Final victory over the holders. Simpson, Mulvaney, Sangha, Gourlay, Mouat, Lewis and Cresswell. The disappointment to anyone independent was that Sporting, with a dream team line up of Sangha, Williamson, Walker, Anderson, Davison, Harrison and Cromack &#8211; all who&#8217;d won countless trophies in the Sassco League, would probably triumph and thus gain the Treble. However, Sassco had their own plans in place. The wind was shocking and worked fully in Sassco&#8217;s favour. Both teams played it on the floor, but the wind was preventing any quick breaks. Sporting had the lions share in the opening half with a few misplaced passes from Sassco letting them in. But Simpson, who controversially replaced Logan in the last few League games, was sure to every shot. But saying that, none of the shots were devastating and were more like snatched shots. 0-0 at half time and in the second, Sassco seemed to be coping quite well as their forays into the Sporting half were more frequent. Yet despite this, Sassco failed to muster a single shot on target and eventually retreated into their negative shell, with Mulvaney remaining deep thus adding a third defender to the team. Sporting were frustrated. Harrison was the main threat, but surprisingly, Steve Anderson, widely regarded as the overall best player within the League wasn&#8217;t a threat at all.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/01-04-08-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, just like the last time Sassco were in a Tuesday final it went to penalties (They lost against Crown back in Season 5 in the same competition). Sassco were jubilant as the penalties started and Sporting looked visibly gutted. Cresswell fired in the opener for Sassco and it was 1-0. Billy Harrison walloped his in so it was 1-1. Then it was down to Gourlay, who&#8217;s shot crashed in off of the roof of the net. Then, the villain of the piece, the team hopping Traitor finally got his comeuppance as Simpson shut out his shot. 2-1 and Sassco&#8217;s Stephen Lewis stepped up and rammed home the winner.<\/p>\n<p>A glorious end for Sassco as they gained their first trophy on a Tuesday since their Season 4 victory (ironically also over Sporting) back in 2001.<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivebanner\">1st April 2008<\/p>\n<p class=\"archivemainheadline\">FC Hendon on 100%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"secondaryheader\">AFC Redhouse labour to a 3-1 win. Witherwack and Youth&#8217;s share the points<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><em><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sassco.co.uk\/archive\/season12\/01-04-08.jpg\" alt=\"FC Hendon celebrate a goal over their rivals, Hendon Rovers\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>FC Hendon 2 Hendon Rovers 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A local derby played a good few miles away from where these two teams are actually based. FC Hendon were the hot favourites having remained unbeaten in Pre-season as well as their opening League game. This one seemed to go to form with both Martin Adams and Lewis Collinson getting two opening goals, one from a penalty. FC Hendon did pull one back in the second, but the conditions were too difficult for both teams to play any meaningful football.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em> AFC Redhouse 3 ALS 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A lethargic looking AFC conceded an early goal scored by Brett Wilson against a five man ALS team. They were clearly suffering a hangover from their cup exit last week and players were constantly bickering against each other. The game wore on and just when ALS&#8217;s sixth man turned up, AFC equalised and eventually went on to gain a 3-1 win. Difficult start, but three points in the bag for them. ALS can pat themselves on the back for a more than useful performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Witherwack 1 Redhouse Youth 1<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Youth&#8217;s are in transition now considering the big time charlie&#8217;s have left to pastures new (one to the Champions and one on the dole). Yet, even they started poorly with Witherwack grabbing a deserved opening strike from Liam Wooton. As the game gathered pace, Youth&#8217;s seem to get the majority of the game and soon gained one back with a superb free-kick from Yates. The scoring ended there as both teams can be happy with a point.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"95%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#cccccc\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"><b>League Standings<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">P<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">W<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">D<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">L<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">F<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">A<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"46\">GD<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#0066cc\" width=\"45\">Pts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">1<\/span><\/td>\n<td>FC Hendon<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">2<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Witherwack<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">3<\/td>\n<td>AFC Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">4<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Redhouse Youth<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">5<\/td>\n<td>Sassco.co.uk<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">6<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Sporting Redhouse<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">7<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Hendon Rovers<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\"><span class=\"style27\">8<\/span><\/td>\n<td>Downhill FC<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">4<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#dadada\">\n<td align=\"right\">9<\/td>\n<td>ALS<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">6<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">-5<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16th December 2008 Sporting overwhelm Sassco.
