Simply The Best Ever

This years Annual Fun Day has certainly proved a magnificent success, and is without doubt the best we have ever had.

The day started with a Lads and Dads match, with highlights including a run out of Barrie Clark by son Kobe and Dave Tully being run out by his son Nathan.

There was also tug-of war, bouncy castles, obstacle courses, face painting and an ice cream and sweet shop at the ground as well as the bar serving hot food.

At 2pm came the highlight of the day with the visit of a number of Sunderland football Club Legends (Jimmy Montgomery, Gary Bennett, Julio Arca, Dick Malone, Gordon Armstrong, Darren Holloway, Micky Horswill) as well as former test player and Durham Head Coach, Geoff Cook, as they took on a Marsden All Stars Team.
The game was a spectacular affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

After the Legends game we had a 4 team tournament involving the touring United Arab Emirates Youth Academy, who have visited the club every year for the past few seasons.

Thanks to the UAE team, The Sunderland Legends, and everyone who helped and participated in the events success. One thing that has been proved today is that we are a fantastic club, with fantastic support, and we are once again a club united.
