It was a pleasure to witness our 5-1 win over Spen Valley in the ESFA Cup first round on Saturday. The football played on the excellent surface at Old Boltonians was scintillating at times and we thoroughly deserved to advance to the next round. Thanks to everyone involved and good luck and best wishes to Spen Valley for the rest of their season.

In round 2 we will be on the road, making the short journey to Trafford who defeated Knowsley 2-1 in their first round tie. That match will be played on Saturday 12th November. The kick off time and venue details will be published on this page in due course.

Training will take place on Monday 17th October at Canon Slade School on the astro turf. If you cannot attend please contact Mr Mason directly.

Best wishes

Mr Jackson
