Apparently Celtic nations owner has pulled out and their having some sort of clear out? Heard they were paying players to come down from playing professionally in Scotland last season for a higher wage. Not sure how much of it all is true but iv played at Celtic nation a few times and their crowds are always small so they will struggle without his backing if true. It will be good to see ryhope back next year they were relegated for not meeting ground requirements. Looks likely to happen to Whitehaven again this year
Over 40s league is where it is at.
A couple of years ago in the over 40s league we fielded a forward line with a combined age of 140 years +. (70 and 71 I think they were)
and no I wasn't one of them !

Excellent teams in the premier and there are always 1/ 2/3 good teams in every league. Who you going to be playing for ?

I41, didn't play loads for the last 5 years or so but in the last couple I got injured just about everytime I played.
Took me about 4 months or so to walk without a limp after slipping a disc in September, decided enough was enough.
Late 30's for me...lost me pace and fitness due to age /work/ family commitments and felt I wasn't doing myself justice trying to keep on playing...especially when I found myself hacking kids half my age because I couldn't catch them.41, didn't play loads for the last 5 years or so but in the last couple I got injured just about everytime I played.

Played northern league and all the local leagues and when I packed in I was proper depressed and now 45 still can't throw the shinnies n boots out.
Spennys got a couple over 40's teams who keep asking me but the oldest bairn plays on a Saturday morning which I wouldn't miss for the world.
Love my life and the way it's turned out...family/businesses /money but I can honestly say that the happiest days of my life were when I was in my prime on the football pitches of the north east.
