part. We will look to further strengthen in the summer and come back stronger next year. Thanks to all our opponents for some great games over the season. Now all is left for us is the end of season day out on June 13th🍻

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

We end an excellent season strong with a 5-2 home win against Middlesbrough, which should get us a top 5 finish, an unthinkable position when we gained promotion last season. The management team have done a brilliant job recruiting some good lads and everyone has played their….

For the 1st time in a long time we were unable to field a side away to Marden at the weekend due to mounting injuries and lads away, but we look to finish an excellent season strongly tonight at home to Middlesbrough - 6:45ko

@hifivecat @UndrTheCosh Be a good episode he’s got some great stories

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

@hifivecat @UndrTheCosh Yep. Well did, AWOL this season ha

@Comrades40s @Over40sfooty Well done lads. See you next season👍🏼

…match. Pelton then went straight up the other end and took the lead through a debatable penalty. The lads kept going though and late pressure told with 3 quick goals to seal the game. Marden and Middlesbrough left to play as we push for a 4th/5th place

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sedgefield 5-3 Pelton. Once again short on numbers we found ourselves 2-0 down at half time after an abject showing. We shook things up at half time, with a couple of subs and Parsons coming out of goal to go up top. This made almost an instant impact with us soon leveling the…

…lads against a strong Ferryhill side. Big 3 games remaining against Middlesbrough, Pelton and Marden as we push to try and finish 4th

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Ferryhill 2-1 Sedgefield. We went 2 down in the 1st 15 mins via some sloppy defending and good finishing. The lads dug in though and got a deserved goal mid way through the second half to give us half a chance. We couldn’t find the equaliser though but a decent effort by the…

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sedgefield 4-1 Consett. We take the points to make it 2 wins in 2. Again down to the bare bones the lads dug in and worked hard to get past a resolute Consett outfit. We never really looked in danger having taken a 2 goal lead in the 1st half. Away to Ferryhill next Saturday

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

…to secure the points. Big win to get us back on track in our push to finish in the top 5. Tough away trip to Consett next weekend.

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sedgefield 3-1 Seaham. Having lost 2-1 to Seaham in the cup on Wednesday after missing enough chances to win comfortably the lads were keen to put things right today. With injuries and holidays taking their toll, both teams turned up with the bare 11. Once again we took the…

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

…lead in the 1st half and missed chances to go further ahead, before Seaham equalised on the stroke of half time. We managed to retake the lead through a cracking strike and after weathering a late storm we managed to spring the offside trap and grab a 3rd at the death…

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

…pressure. This pressure told after 70 odd minutes with slotting home to equalise. They could have easily won it in the last few mins but our keeper pulled off a couple of great saves. Onto a quick league and cup double header against Seaham Wednesday night and Saturday.

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sherburn 2-2 Sedgefield. Disappointed to come away with only a point having led 2-0 until mid way through the second half. 2 absolute screamers put us into a commanding position, but a goalkeeping error led to the home side pulling one back, and subsequently piling on the…

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sedgefield 1-2 Marden. We are again on the wrong end of a narrow defeat, having gifted them their 2 goals. The lads worked hard and could have easily taken a very strong Marden team to penalties. Nice to hear some positive words from their manager at full time. Sherburn away next

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

@shields_40s Well played lads. Both having a great season considering we’ve just come up. Looking forward to playing you again next season. All the best for the rest of this one

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

..them. On reflection a draw would probably have been a fair result but we’ll need to improve massively if we are to progress in the cup again Marden this Saturday. 2/2

[Sedgefield Over 40’s @SedgeVetsFC]

Sedgefield 2-3 Shields. Disappointing defeat after leading for much of the game. We went in at h/t 1-0 which could and should have been more. We didn’t turn up for the 2nd half and Shields deservedly got back into the game. We had chances to level late on but couldn’t take… 1/2
