2011
The say a year is a long time in football, how right this is. After a previous season which saw us avoid relegation by winning the last game of the year, the club looked forward and appointed Jon Knight as its Senior Coach for 2011. With a wealth of football experience, but no senior coaching experience, Jon’s background as a teacher was felt to be the right fit for a young and talented side, looking for direction and a game plan. After losing the 1st 3 games of the season, it was felt it was going to be a tough year, however it all clicked, and we started a roll which saw the club beat the EFL powerhouse Vermont for the 1st time ever in round 4 and ended up recording 12 wins for the season, our best result in Div 1. We ended up 4th for 2011- a remarkable effort given all in the EFL had picked us to be relegated. We lost the elimination to Balwyn, however we saw it a learning curve, the club and playing group earned the respect of the EFL public, and it only wetted the appetite for 2012.
