Starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms when the 1st person walked through the turnstyle today I hugged them,as we started a season with our annual friendly against Bury.

It welcomed 3 new players to the starting line up, Lee Unsworth from Bury, Barry Dempsey and ex England Schoolboy player Tom Rutter

Of course its too early to say about the new players, but It seems the team had a beer too many in the off season, as we lost 4-1,

well if you count the Manchester Cup as a trophy

Our last 2 months our form has been incredible, I cant believe that this is the same team of players that were bottom of the league by 11 points at Christmas and yet they gained safety in the end of the season and get a Cup out of it.

The last reviews of the season.

A ONE OFF LOSS - V Chorley

There hasn't been much info on here today as Taterman and his American friends were at todays game as were quite a few who usually get scores from the website.

The first half

new blog soon again i say

We finally did it!!! 15 years in the making but we are finally in another Final of a contest,but like a bus, were in 2!!!!!

Usually at this stage, i am going into my nomal faze of saying our league form is crap!!!

But you will be amazed by our form.....

23/2/08

Lancy fall apart

The Boro nearly set the league record, for the highest away win of the season, and we deserved to win 5-1

A fantastic first half and a hat-trick for Steve Howson led to Boro's best display this season!

I must admit that I can't remember

Turning away from the league (as there hasnt been any games really, and in the only 3 games played, we have received 2 points both 2-2 draws) and back to this seasons cup contests

a couple of blogs back i talked about our team reaching the quarter finals of the Unibond 1st division cup, and Manchester Premier cup , so here are the match reports

UNIBOND PRESIDENTS CUP QUARTER FINAL

RADCLIFFE BOROUGH VS BRIGG TOWN

The match went golden straight away as we were 1 nil up before the first bit of pie burnt my mouth, From the

For the last 3 weeks i havent been able to get my weekly football fix due to the sodding rain, but we have had a pretty decent Xmas since my last post

I cant remember a few games due to excessive drinking, so i found a few reports on t'interweb to show our progress since the 1-4 drubbing against Retford(also for regular readers the Newcastle game ended 1-1)

Starting with Clitheroe:

BOROUGH have only themselves to blame for blowing a 2-0 half-time lead which should have seen them notch that

If you live in the area , our team is finally on form. If be in cups.

The team is in the greatest for for 3 seasons, following a months run of just cup games since septembers loss to Blyth, we are becoming serious contenders in teh league(even though we lost to Bridlington 1-0 2 saturdays ago in 2nd of 2 league games)

For some reason our league form cannot top that of the cups i mean we beat teams that Giant slay in the FA Cup

Here is the results from this months games

FATPQ Sutton 1-3 Radcliffe - Shite

so if Bill Gates,Sir Alan, of Beardy Branson are reading. the number is 0161.....

anyway onto the field. It is a story of 2 halves,In the league we are still continuing our decent in the contest, bottom after 7(but 5 games in hand against some teams) with 1 point and many a player going.

But in the Cups oh how we are Mighty

FA CUP

Preliman

No longer do we face the ex conference teams of Gateshead and Marine but now we have to go to the even more obscure Garfoth and Newcastle Blue Star

The favourites for our Division is split between us and FC United(minus Rhodri Giggs). Just 1 freindly left before our first trip to Wakefield

our team looks a lot better than last season. with a lot of new incomming players from acadameys including 21 year old Jamie

My condolences to his family

I remember meeting him at a league game against Hyde in 2004, i was selling programmes and just came into the boardroom to give the float back when he called me over by the wrong name.I didnt correct him out of politeness and just went back into the ground for the game. After the game i came in to find out the next
