It takes a total of 16 minutes for McDermont to come alive. Our rearranged encounter v Newton & Co. which was originally abandoned on around 25 minutes when one of our…

Sunday morning pasting. It was the first game after the tragic events from the previous Wednesday, tragic as we had to wear white socks instead of our usual red ones, as…

Muers steals the show. It was horrifying. Muers in agony on the floor and the paramedic, scissors in hand, cutting away his boot and sock. It was too much for me…

Muers, McDermont and Nelly provide the pace. We were returning to our old stomping ground and nothing has really changed. It was The Shipwright’s Field in Redhouse. Shite on the pitch,…

Redhouse Fusion back on top. ..which was no surprise, but the real surprise was Independent FC finishing bottom, while the “B” team fared well overall with a victory over the “A” team…

Three games, with four players in a five a side tour Our 12th tour kicked off, and seemed to be steeped in a little chaos. From 6 players, we were left…

Leading twice, but then Dixon…. The second game was our last game as a group of 4 (in a 5-a-side tour – as Tim still hadn’t turned up). We needed some…

And then there were three. Chris Dixon, who last watched SAFC when they were in the Champions League, sipping champagne in the corporate boxes, decided that it was really important that…

Yes, it’s Sassco on Tour again. This time, to Cyprus, which was our first choice destination back in 2007, when we only managed to get 10 people paying, before abandoning and…

Opening game of Futsal. Thanks to Periklis Perikleous from the Alana Sports Center, we have arranged a game on the day we land. It’s an outdoor futsall encounter, similar to the one we…

Woven Inc narrowly take the January Title. Season 21 kicked off with the January Tournament. Four teams took part: Clearly Drinks FC, CD Reds, Sassco.co.uk and Woven Inc. Redhouse Fusion were…

Sassco’s first trophy since 2011. Despite being disadvantaged with a tight squad, tight as in only 5 players, Sassco worked their way past two games to take the tournament. This included…

Four straight wins for the posh version of Sassco. Tiger Tim is a bit of an enigma when it comes to Sassco. He made his debut on the 21st January 2006,…

That’s 25 goals scored in two games Shockingly, after the last game’s dirty drop outs, all 12 turned up for this one, and it was in distant Durham. Stubba and Muers…

Preparations for Cyprus in 2019. The squad isn’t getting any younger, but the enthusiasm is still there. Five souls have signed on and confirmed with flights to Cyprus in March. Chris…

Drop outs; panic attacks; vintage players returning and a handsome victory. The usual for Sassco. 12 announced and then slowly whittled back to around 10 – but what a 10! Before…

Unfortunately, at the wrong end. A truly mercenary team was decimated beforehand, against strong opponents, Hylton Castle FC. Unfortunately, we lost our goalkeeper, soon followed by another player. We managed to…

Gateshead 3G squads set Unfortunately, the Gateshead Stadium pitch was unavailable, but we were offered the Premier League Standard Training Pitch as an alternative, so we happily accepted. The squads of…
