Chester Plough Inn
Chester Plough Inn  are Holding a  RACE NIGHT AND XMAS RAFFLE  on Saturday 19th December starting at 7pm at The Plough.
It’s the first time we’ve had such an event so let’s make a huge effort and support the event and raise some funds in the process. It should be great fun, plenty of alcohol, loads of banter and a chance to win a few quid! I would appreciate if all players attended, as well as friends, wags and family. Please invite as many people as possible. I’m sure we can all hit the bright lights at the end of the night!!
We will also have our annual Christmas raffle drawn on the night. I have enclosed a list of prizes and raffle tickets which each player must sell. 20 strips at £1 per strip.

John Forster
On behalf of everyone from The Plough Inn, I would just like to congratulate John Forster and Gemma on their new arrival.

Ryan Thomas Forster was born at 4.58am, 8lb 14oz.

All are doing well.
 

Peter Quinn
Club secretary and Plough favourite Peter Quinn has decided to tie the knot next year.

As we all know the most important thing about marriage is the stag do!! So were all going to Amsterdam (sight seeing of course) on 7th May 2010, which will include travelling to the dam via ferry, 1 night over there and then returning the following day via ferry.

Total cost will be £160 which includes the ferry and hotel. £20 deposits are due now and balance by 12th March.
The plan is to incorporate our end of season football trip with the stag do and therefore the football club will be looking to make a contribution for players towards the cost of the trip. At this stage, i dont know how much the club will pay towards the trip as it will depend on fund raising events between now and the end of season. One rule is that players subs must be paid up to date!
I need names as soon as possible from people who are definitely going so I can arrange to pay the deposit to Quinny.

 Sedgefield Netpark
 MEET NEW SIGNING JOE BURKE OUR FIRST LANCASHIRE DYNAMO.
When Sedgefield NETPark F.C started their recruitment drive for the summer there were three names given by Baggy who would improve the squad no end, Turland, Earnshaw and Burke. We got a glimpse of Earnshaw and Turland in pre season but had to wait till after the season started to see what Joe had to offer. Hailing from Preston, Lancs he is our first player from outside the north east alongside Rob Earnshaw who is from even further south. Joe has impressed management and playing staff with his undoubted ability on the ball but his energy and bursts into the penalty area make him an extremely valuable attacking midfielder. A player who has certainly been used to certain standards of football (including Uni I would imagine) Joe has had to adapt his game to the hustle and bustle of the Durham and District 3rd Division where you don’t get as much time on the ball to show how good a footballer you actually are more often than not there’s someone right up your arse ready to clean you out. Reading that back it may sound like Joe is a bad player and that is certainly not what I was aiming for, im simply stating I imagine Joe has played at a level where your given a bit of time on the ball and if you can’t play your soon found out (I loved that level too fella). Anyway a classy midfielder who’s range of passing is a delight to watch. He has a sumptuous first touch essential for “that level” and his fitness levels are exceptional something that really is essential to play in this league. Once Joe finds that consistency which all good players will find I expect to see him commanding games through his ability. A fantastic partner in the middle of the park for Kev Broom and we look forward to seeing him more on the social side as the season progresses. After bagging his first goal for the club at the weekend against East Rainton, NETPark News reporter Nick Walker caught up with Joe and got his thoughts on settling in with the lads.
