The Club Returns

​

Re-established after decades of absence from the football community. ​​We have a goal of restoring the team to its highest place in history and playing in the old English Association Cup, nowadays more common referred to as the FA Cup.

​

Taking our place in the Notts Senior League for the 2023/24 season, we'll need tp find a home ground, sort a kit and put a team back on the football field.
