Season 31 

We bring in GK Kenneth Vermeer, SD Ruben Gabrielsom and DF Abasa Amemeyow from our feeder club Roxborough Indians as we start to rebuild from the back.

We brought in MF Andre's Perea to strengthen the squad.

We start the campaign with a T11 of 25.1(3rd in division) and a T17 of 22.6(joint3rd in division) so it looks like it could be another good season.Matej Oravec will again captain the side this season. 

Well we didn't live up to expectations and could only finish 4th, winning 6,drawing 1,losing 7,scoring 21,conceding 18 amassing 19 points,in the cups we went out to Minnesota in the al Sellers and went out to Houston on penalties in the Dave Dowson.

Season 32 

We bring in DM Nikola Vlasic,FW Anonio Sarabina and FW Dawid Kownacki from our feeder team Roxborough Indians to bolster our ranks.

We start the season with a T11 of 24.5 (4th in division) and a T17 of 22.1 (4th in division) so will be another hard season ahead Helton Liete will Captain the side this season.We strengthen the squad early on with signings SD Isiah Leflore,DF Olwethu Mahonya  and MF Jose Martinez, this should give us good balance and squad rotation.We finished the season with a T11 of 28.2(2nd in division) and a T17 of 25.3(2nd in division)so happy with a squad building season,this should hopefully set us up for next season.Matej Oravec played his final game for the union ,the most capped player ever with 205 appearances over 7 good seasons ,he will take up an assistant coaching role at Roxborough Indians next season developing our youth players for the future. We finished with a T11 of 28.3 (joint 3rd in division) and a T17 of 25.4(2nd in division) but we did it and became league Champions. Played 21 won 12 drew 5 lost 4 scoring 43 conceding 15 amassing 41 points.Carranza took golden boot with 12 goals and Sarabina young boot with 9 goals,moms with 7 went to Liete,most matches played Kownacki with all 21and 1440 minutes played.In the cups we went out of the Al Sellers cup to CAR on penalties and in the Dave Dowson shield out to SEA.

Season 33 

We bring in GK Holden Trent,DF Olwethu Mokhayana and MA Joaquin Torres to bolster the squad.Julian Carranza will Captain the side this season.New tactics are in order as we have no wingers this season,so thinking caps are on.We bring in MF Nick Pariano from Nashville who we hope will develop quickly this season,we start the season with a T11 of 26.6(joint 4th in division) and a T17 of 24.2(joint 2nd in division),so it could turn out to be a development season training up the apprentices. Well this was not our season as we finished 7th and were relegated to division 2,we won 4,drew 7 and lost 10 scoring only 19 and conceding 36 amassing 19 points.Most matches was Carranza with 21,most minutes was Pariano and Leflore with 1395,top goalscorers were Carranza and Kownacki with 6 ,bad boy with 16 dps was Pariano and most MOM's was Vermeer with 6.Our tactics this season was poor and we need to look deeply at where we went wrong.

We exited the Al Sellers cup at the group stage and went out of the Dowson plate on penalties to CAR.

Season 34 updates.

Now Austin FC and starting out in division 2.

We bring in DM Sebastian Driussi,and WG Jhojan Valencia and WG Daniel Pereria ,hopefully we can start playing free flowing early ball tactics again which brought some success in previous seasons.Kenneth Vermeer will Captain the side this season.We start with a T11 of 23.6(5th in division) and a T17 of 21.1(3rd in division) so another tough season ahead.

 

Updated October 2024

born and bred in Bridgwater,Somerset,now living in Oswestry,Shropshire with my other half Sharon and my two daughters Alix and Beth. Been a lifelong Bristol Rovers fan watching them many times as one of the Gas,but alas promotion to division 1 on the last day of the season with that 7-0 win home to Scunthorpe, but not convinced by the new boss Taylor ,but its early days and rebuild in progress,also support and watch The New Saints who are based in Oswestry about a mile from home and play in the  welsh premier league and  set a new european record for successive wins taking the record off Ajax.Mixed start this season as unbeaten in the league last season but have lost 2 of the 1st five games this season,now qualified for the europa conference league,1st time a welsh side has done this and some real tough games ahead.Other pastimes when not supporting the saints are sea fishing and spending time with the family in north wales on the coast, and drinking proper cider (west country folk will know what i mean)

 

Currently managing The New Saints  in the sflsl division 1 ,now managing Ross County in the 2nd  division after promotion last season ,and finally San Antonio Spurs  in the 4th division of the OASL which is Austin FC 's feeder team , 3 good trainees come out of it and hopefully a better season ahead ,well we only gone and done it Philadelphia Union ,Champions for the 2nd time,but relegated this season to division ,and now rebranded as Austin FC.

love these leagues and the characters you meet along the way,hopefully can justify my place at philly in the coming seasons
