Roca Juniors Up Next

Our first pre-season friendly saw us claim a narrow 4-3 victory over Dicken Green. With only 12  players available it proved a tough return to action for the lads against a Dicken Green side who were eager to prove they were no pushovers. Green took an early lead before goals from Mason, Nelson and Scholes(2) gave us a commanding lead. Numerous chances to increase the lead went begging before a late rally saw Green pull two goals back.
This Sunday 1st August sees us face Roca Juniors at Springhill School 11am kick off.

Lancs Sunday Trophy - We have been drawn at home to Preston side Greenlands in the first round to be played Sunday 19th September. Greenlands are in the Premier Division and will most certainly be a good side as Preston teams are usually of a very high standard, so will provide us with an extremely tough test.

R&DSFL Presentation Night

The Rochdale & District Sunday Football League presentation night was held last Friday at the Ratcliffe Arms and skipper Jordan Scholes found himself on his feet receiving a number of trophies during the night from Rochdale FC captain Gary Jones.

Tuesday Night Training
A reminder to you all, training is every Tuesday night 8 till 9 at Matthew Moss. The management are asking for a big improvement in the numbers turning up for training, whilst we accept some lads work evenings or nights and can't make it the rest of you should be there unless injured or ill. Not only is it good for team bonding and fitness but using the excellent facilities at Matthew Moss has to be paid for and at only £3 each per session it represents good value for money. Recently we have been making a loss due to the lack of numbers turning up and obviously we cannot continue to subsidise the cost from club funds, which will mean subs will have to go up to cover the cost if things don't improve. The squad is getting bigger now with a few new faces arriving and most of the injured returning to fitness, so picking the team is going to be extremely difficult over the coming weeks, make a good impression in training and you will have more chance of being in the starting 11, if you don't turn up others may impress and take your place, you have been warned ! TRAINING RESUMES SOON
