Brun Grove take two. First time around we saw them off 6-3, this time we were hoping for double figures.

A View from the Sidelines
Most of you will know Gaz Turton who often comes down to watch the mighty Excelsior. He is also player/manager at N&B Albion and Horsemans Hill down at Bispham tech Thursday and Friday leagues.

vs Ansdell 23/04/2008
V's Ansdell
Venue – The Fortress
Waiting for an Excelsior clean sheet is like waiting for a bus. You wait all season for one, then two come along at the same time. With the Macca's looking to prove they are no weak link it's no surprise we got our second so soon.
A hot Wednesday evening down at Moor Park, the fortress gates opened up for our travelling side, Ansdell. Four places and 13 points separate the sides in the league, with the in form Excelsior the higher of the two.
End of Season Amsterdam Trip
I am sure you are all aware, but George is organising a trip to Amsterdam over the summer for us all. Lets take this opportunity - how often are we going to get a chance like this? We have a great team spirit and this could be cracking trip.
Also, George has put his time and effort into this so lets take it seriously.
