Sorted the connection problem, the on-field woes could take longer though. Team pages will gradually be brought up to date. 06.12.03 1Xi lose their first game of the season, 3-2 to Leeds Uni.

Sep 2003 New season, training has started (some time ago) Tuesday 8-9.30 for 1XI/2XI and those aspiring to. Thurs 8-9.30 for everyone else - bring a pound! The Swindells / Boyle newsletter went out - though light-hearted it was done to inform you all of on and off field matters. Last season not only did half the teams get relegated but we LOST money - we CANNOT do that this year so you can all help by paying your subs/match fees/training fee AND supporting the 'Shoulder of Mutton' who are providing free food. They will only do this if they see that their bar takings make it worthwhile - so make the effort to go to the pub - buy the opposition a jug, and spend some time and money in there. Aug 2003 Danny Durrans (and a few others - but mainly Danny) staff three car boot sales, helping to put nearly £500 back into the club. 22.03.03 1XI get a fine draw against 2nd placed Chapeltown, but it's too little too late and with the newly imposed 3-down they are relegated. 2Xi draw 4-4 and finish mid-table, 3XI lost and are relegated, 4XI drew and therefore can only finish 3rd so stay in division 6, 5XI draw and are at present 3rd bottom - still in trouble, 6XI lose but are saved by other results, 7Xi lose and are relgated, 8XI lose and are at present 3rd bottom in a '2-down' league. 9XI didn't play.... Oh well at least we can all get pi**ed this Saturday in the George Hotel. 01.03.03 1XI get a vital win as S Durrans makes a rare appearance and bags 2 goals in a 3-2 win. Even more shocking was the 3XI getting a point with a 4-4 draw at York - they are used to 8 goal games - but they usually end 7-1 or 8-0! 27.02.03 The awards night is to be held this year at the George Hotel, make it a success - demand a ticket from your captain this Saturday!! 22.02.03 1XI crash to 5-1 defeat, 2XI, 5XI and 6XI win. 4XI draw with WY Police and 9XI also get a draw. 16.02.03 Vets lose 8-2 to Doncaster in Yorks Cup - Chris Burnip takes the lads for a spin in his new BMW - quite literally. 15.02.03 1XI draw 2-2 with Harrogate, after leading 2-0. 2XI, 6XI and 7XI all beat Sheffiield Uni Bankers "can we pla-ay you ev v--rey week!' 08.02.03 Brett Kullar misses the game away at Ben Rhydding - The reason.... out shopping for a valentine's gift for some girl and forgot what time it was - they're not worth it Brett! 08.02.03 1XI lose to fellow strugglers Hull, 4XI win and Swindell's 5XI manage a draw - but only after nicking the 6XI's midfield 27.01.02 Social events for everyone.....22.02.03 Curry Night ..... 29.03.03 Awards Night at The George Hotel. Ask captains for details (unless you play for Swindells) 25.01.03 The 1XI's good run comes to an end against Chapletown -lost 3-1. The 3XI lose their game against Sheff U B - they then lose the home team and spend the afternoon in a Sheffield pub that are so pleased to have customers that they put on free food! The 8XI win - no they really do WIN - 8-1!!! 19.01.03 The vets beat Leeds 6-3 - D Elsworth will tell anyone who'll listen that all the goals were Chalky's fault. The 1XI lose 2-0 to London Edwardians in the HA Cup. 18.01.03 1XI make it 2 wins in a row beating Bradford Uni 5-0. S Rixon and J Ridings both take trips to hospital in the 5 and 6XI. Steve was released later that night after having a sort of severe allergic reaction (to A Swindells captaincy?) John walked home after receiving stitches in a head wound. 07.12.02 A 'successful' weekend with three wins! The 2, 5 and 6XI all win. 30.11.02 Race Night was very enjoyable - but very poorly attended. The 25 or so who turn up hand over nearly £200, bidding up to £12 for a small plastic horse - (Beer!!) 26.11.02 Due to other committments web-site has got a little behind, however I intend to put this right very soon. 23.11.02 Not a single team wins - Just draws for the 9 and 5XI. 04.11.02 First Social event of year announced - Race Night 30.11.02. 02.11.02 Only 1 win again this week - this time for the 3XI.

What a second half! 13.10.02 Vets beat Hull 3-0 in a bad tempered (if you were a Hull player) match. 12.10.02 1 XI win 4-2. 4XI win 17 - 2 against Bradford Uni !! 05.10.02 1XI lose 4-1. Wins for 2XI and 4XI mean losses for 3XI and 5XI. 6XI draw with Rotherham, 8XI lose to Rotherham. 01.10.02 All senior training has now been shifted from Storthes Hall to New College.

His funeral will be held on Friday 18th January at Kettlethorpe Crematorium, 12.30p.m. 12.01.02 Mr Forgetful Andy Swindells loses his car and house keys. After searching the whole of Lockwwod Park he resorts to breaking into his own car with a crow bar to get Simon Pickup's phone No. Unfortunately the phone No isn't in there. A locksmith quotes £160 for a new car key, but as this is more than Swindell's French farmers skip is worth he decides against it. A gloating Jon Boyle takes pity on the unfortunate Swindells and offers to take him home. Pickup's No is found but is then engaged for three hours. Finally at Midnight Swindells has his keys back. As Boyle drives home he is pursued by the amnesiatic Swindells who has left his kit bag in the back of Boyle's car. 12.01.02 1XI crash 5-2 to Bradford, Tractor boys lose 2-1 to Normanby Park, 2XI draw 3-3 after being 3-0 down to Rotherham, 5XI 5AXI and 6XI all get much needed wins. 05.01.02 5A team travel to Grimsby and get a 2-2 draw in a 'physical' encounter. 05.01.02 Bradford have lucky escape, as Hallas trophy abandoned due to snowbound pitches 29.12.01 All games snowed off 22.12.01 Only Game is a 5-0 win for the 5A team, including four for Foo. 18.12.01 Sat 22.12.01 2 friendlies in Sheffield and 1 league game for 5AXI in Rotherham, Sat 29.12.01, 4 friendlies vs Ben Rhydding comprising 1 vets, 1 u14, 2 'normal' plus 5A league game @ York, Sat 05.01.02, 4 Games and we win the Hallas Trophy back from Bradford, plus 5A league game @ Grimsby. 15.12.01 1XI win 5-4 at Lincoln, scoring 3 goals in last 6 minutes, DBXI lose @ Scarborough, but do have a nice tea. 08.12.01 Wins for the 1XI, DBXI, 4XI, 7XI, Draws for 2XI and 6XI, the rest lost. 01.12.01 3XI WIN SHOCK!!!, next thing you know the 4XI might win 1 too?! 5XI lose much to the delight of Swindells who cheered the result. 01.12.01 1XI draw, Tractor boys have a fantastic win against Wakefield, 3Xi and 7XI also win. 27.11.01 Top scorers updated, at the request of Tim Newman - who didn't score this weekend. 24.11.01 1XI draw with Adel, 5XI win a hard game vs Normanby Park.
