Football League Results
Our football team have now competed in their last fixture of the season in the Somerset FA Disability Counts League.
A Team were runners up in their division, only just surrendering their title to FC1610 United, who won their very last match of day, thus scoring just enough points to come out on top.
Our B Team improved on last years position, rising to 3rd in the league. They beat arch rivals Knowle Park for the first time so the players were all pleased with that result!
The day was followed up with drinks at the New Inn in Keynsham where players were joined by family, friends and supporters. Thank you to everyone that helped throughout the season, with driving the minibus, providing lifts and washing kit, it’s very much appreciated.
