New Fixture and a Cancellation

The proposed fixture at Eccleshall on the 25th June, has been cancelled and will hopefully be rearranged for some time during the season.

We have added an extra fixture to our pre-season calendar; We will now visit Stafford Town on Saturday 2nd July, kick off 3.00pm.

Jimmy Rejects Offer

After considering his personal circumstances and our offer of retention James O’Neill has reluctantly opted to accept an offer from a club closer to his Coventry home to reduce travelling distance and time. It is believed that James will move to the Southern Central division, signing for Stratford Town.

We would like to thank James for his efforts last season and wish him well for the future.

Tre decides on Macclesfield FC

Despite agreeing terms with Tre Pemberton to re-sign for SRFC, we have been informed this afternoon that he has now opted to sign for Macclesfield FC, following a second approach from them. Whilst this is disappointing news we would like to thank Tre for his time at the Boro and wish him well for the coming season.

One of the best Non-League Programmes

Soccer Club Swap Shop has recently issued its annual list of the best non league programmes, and we are pleased to announce that for the season 2021/2022 we have been rewarded with a certificate for the second best programme in the Northern Premier League, behind South Shields who had the best programme.

We would like to thank our programme editor Ken Hunt and everybody who contributed articles throughout the season. We are also grateful to everyone who bought an issue in 2021/2022.
