It’s the Spartan’s turn next for season reviews. Huge wallets, disabled parking bay misuse, silly whitworths tweets, Dan Stewart’s “journey,” Raunds’ electricity bill, ageing dinosaurs and the Mighty Chens but a few highlights.
Stay tuned folks…

Bugbrooke also known as ‘La Masia’ of Northants. They nurture young talent producing players who go on to play levels above. If only they tied some of their young lads down before the likes of

A end of an era for La Masia, a club that has produced the finest talent in Northamptonshire. Dale & Powly brought pride to the sett.
Powly will shine the torch for La Masia still, management have a tough act to follow.
So for the first time in 40+ years I won’t be playing or leading a club ! It’s an empty feeling I can’t lie. What a journey it’s been and impossible to thank everyone but thanks
With my lad offered chance to play higher I will just enjoy that time now

A disaster from start to finish, too many ageing players not able to get them over the line. The manager to stubborn with his ex Daventry journey men players. Paying Dan Walker over the odds and the signing of Abrahams was poor. Ford and Shepard too heavy.
