Gainford FC aim to tackle player shortage

ONE of the dale’s Sunday morning football teams is appealing for players to come forward to strengthen the squad.

Gainford Cross Keys, who play in the first division of the Wear Valley Sunday Morning League, lost a number of players during the summer break.

Centre forward Alan Haycock has moved on as have several others.

With the new season now underway, captain Adam Sams is keen to recruit new blood.

On Sunday, Gainford took to the field with ten players for their game against Peases West.

The numbers were made up when another player answered a last minute call.

Despite the depleted squad, Gainford put up a good show, losing out 5-4 in a thrilling game.

The club, which boasts one of the best pitches in the dale, has made good strides since its formation just three seasons ago, progressing from the old Sunday morning third division through to the top tier this time. Any players interested in joining Gainford can find out more by contacting Adam Sams on 07500 281269.
