SEASON BY SEASON 3 of 7

3. 2006-07 THIRD SEASON PROGRESS


Early in 2006, the club committee took the decision to leave the Formers League. This move was made in the interests of preserving the club and its player development. The Formers League had become one division at a time which consequently presented an uneven balance in quality of team. For the team and its element of youth, this had been too many steps too soon.

An application was made to the Liverpool & District Sunday League which comprised of four divisions. In April 2006, the club was called for interview at The View club in Everton. Attended by John Pielow, Steve Storey and Michael Brierley deputising for David, the club were granted entry for season 2006-07 into the third division of the league.

This season also saw the club change kit colours. The new home kit became orange shirts and shorts with black socks. The all-navy kit became the new away strip.

For the second consecutive season, we played our home games at Millbank.

Significant and comprehensive victories over Parlow, Pall Mall and Alton Castle were beginning to show signs of maturity within the squad.

The youth recruited in 2005 was now more experienced and more competitive. The football was becoming more of an expression rather than a battle which was most eloquently expressed in the 4-1 away win at Parlow when the second half performance produced some of the best football of the season. All goals were potential goals of the season.

The club finished the season with its best standing in all departments.
