Cockfield Athletic is a newly formed six-a-side team and we’re playing in the Darlington Wednesday night league. Let me give you a run down of the games and the guys who play for us.

Game 1.

Cockfield vs. Triads: Score; 10 - 0 ( scorers; 1 own goal, J. Leonard 1, D. Longstaff 2, C. Longstaff 2, G. Walton 2, G. Clennell 2.

The Team.

Goalkeeper.

Jamie 'Tuppa' Leonard.

That’s me, I’m also the manager. After a quiet first game against the triads I am yet to show my reflexes and potential... I’m well known to be good with my hands, ON AND OFF the pitch!

Defenders.

Paul 'Osca' Armstrong.

This guy is the rock at the back, but also has a tendency for going forward and shooting BUT, sometimes we wish he wouldn’t, because the guy couldn’t hit a barn door!

Wes Priestley.

Is one half of a twin and Osca’s back up, the lad hardly scores but when he does, it must have been a miss hit; mind you, they are always good goals.

Midfield.

Gareth Walton.

Gareth likes to think he is Kaka, but sometimes, his mazy runs just end up in the kak, mind you he still plays a big part in the centre.

Gareth Clennell.

We were lucky to get this lad as he almost got married to a Thai bird and emigrated to New Zealand; but after a quick call he blew her out and came out of retirement, his skills have played a big part so far and he has an eye for goal.

Sam Craig.

More known on the team for his favourite tee shirt than his goals; too early to judge his game in the Wed night league.

Forward.

Craig Longstaff.

Craig is a ‘bit part’ striker but gets the goals and also plays a big part with his gob; shouting tactics!

Back ups Justin Rawlinson.... stuff to be added here!

Darren Longstaff is in Sweden!

Cockfield Athletic is looking for someone who is throwing an old kit out. PLEASE throw it our way, or if anyone has too much money and wants to sponsor us by buying one, we would be very happy!

Thanks for reading this… I only did it out of boredom!!
