Contrasting starts to 2012
08 Jan 2012

The First Team heralded in what it hopes will be the start of another "new era" with a comfortable 6-0 win over DFS Welbeck Welfare in the Baris CML challenge Cup at Low Farm.
Andy Graham (pictured) scored both first half goals, including an absolute gem of a second, before blotting his copybook with a poor second half penalty that would have made it 3-0.
Mike Nicholson made no such mistake when the locals were awarded a second spot kick shortly after.
Chris Frost added a fourth before Rob Start and Tom Shortland both marked their debut with a goal apiece.
A performance described as "shocking" at Norwood Park saw the Reserves thumped 0-5 by bottom club Beverley Town Reserves in the ER County League Premier Division.
However, there was better news in Division 5 where the Casuals moved another step to the title thanks to a 4-2 win at Bilton Athletic.
James Hope bagged a brace with Darren Dawson and Mark Thurkettle completing the tally.
