Northern League: Boldon CA 'over the moon' after strong start to new season
Boldon CA have made a perfect start to the new Ebac Northern League season.
Boldon CA joint-managers Chris Spence and Keaton Trott are ‘absolutely over the moon’ with a perfect start to the new Northern League Division Two season.
After a summer of change within their playing squad, much was expected of Boldon and they have made a promising start to their bid to live up to those expectations after securing nine points during their first three games of the campaign. After claiming a pair of 2-1 wins in a home game against Grangetown Boys Club and an away day at Sunderland RCA, a trip to last season’s play-off semi-finalists FC Hartlepool was expected to provide a far sterner test for Boldon.
However, a brace from Robbie Gateshill and a goal apiece from Liam Thear and Max Cowburn helped Spence and Trott’s side to an impressive 4-1 win at Grayfields that means they will head into a home double header with Stokesley SC and Billingham Town looking to preserve a 100 percent record.
Spence believes his players are ‘giving everything’ and revealed the mood in the camp is understandably high ahead of Tuesday’s meeting with Stokesley.
He told The Gazette: “We are absolutely over the moon with how the season has started. To win three out of our first three games, with two of those wins coming away from home at two really tough places to go, and bring six points back is brilliant. I honestly couldn’t be happier. We’ve got loads of leaders on the pitch now, the camp is really positive and the changing room is absolutely bouncing. The lads are giving everything for each other and that’s showing in the results.”
