2. History 2


2009-10 saw the First Team finish just three points off promotion dropping from third to fifth (we think the highest the club has ever finished in Division One) after the last fixtures of the season!
The campaign had started with Mark Drews once again at the helm and four wins out of their first five League fixtures had the club sitting firmly at the top of the Division. During the season Graham Cawthorne joined the management staff and between himself and Drews they steered the club agonisingly close to Premier Division football.
The Reserves meanwhile, under the management of Chris Guard, enjoyed a successful season that saw them finish 7th in Division Four and reach the Semi-finals of the Fred Hewings Cup having beaten Waldon Athletic Res. - Div.3 (5-3), Dartmouth 3rds - Div.3 (3-3 9-8 on pens), Upton Athletic Res. Div.1 (4-2).
During the close season the club has worked hard to bolster and already strong squad and the signs are that both teams could enjoy a successful 2010-11 campaign, time will tell....
