Clapham and Sheridan back fit but Markham, Sherman, Smith and Hewitt still on injury list……….Sedge welcomed Danny Clapham and Craig Sheridan back to the squad recently, recovered from injury but Andy Markham (Knee), Luke Sherman (Foot), Joe Hewitt (Knee) and Paul Smith (Ankle) are still on the injury list, as Sedge’s squad is tested.  Smith and Hewitt and also Jordan Maltas (Knee) should all be back training shortly, as Steve Newton’s strategy of keeping all of the squad playing in competitive games is backed up.  The cold spell of weather will have helped players recover but the team is now in need of a match on Saturday to keep up the momentum, after games with Winterton away and Shirebrook at home have been scuppered.

 

The Christmas Raffle prizes have been drawn during a successful Supporters and Club Evening at Clayborn…………17 prizes, including £100 cash, a Christmas Hamper, a DVD Player donated by CIBA, a night for a couple at the Holiday Inn-Leeds Bradford and more were drawn in the Annual Christmas draw after a great day and evening at the club, in which one of the club’s sponsors ATA Builders and Plumbers, who were enjoying their Annual Christmas party, Sedge supporters, players and officials were in attendance at Clayborn for a Supporters Evening.  The evening went well, with more to come in the future.  The only shame was the postponement of the match against Shirebrook Town in the afternoon.

.As you may or may not know.......Gomersal & Cleckheaton FC’s U18s side includes a large percentage of our U19s squad.  The squad is the first real playing and coaching connection between our clubs and is proving to be successful, as the lads are sitting proudly on top of the Huddersfield Junior Under 18 league with 9 wins from 9 games.  The lads play their home games at Clayborn on Sunday afternoons and you are welcome to come and watch.
