Promotion and Cup Final Glory
After narrowing missing out on promotion the previous season, compounded further by two cup final defeats, the Amber Army bounced back in style to seal promotion to West Cheshire One for the first time in their history. Despite injury, suspension, drinking binges and mid life criss', the squad stuck together to achieve promotion with two games to spare having been unbeaten until the end of March. Having seen off their league rivals, they also brought the Senior Cup back to the fortress with a fine 5-1 defeat of Highfield at the Exacta stadium. Relive all the magic here....
