Thanks Keith that first season was more crucial than many realise.
Just out of admin with a Rookie manager bringing in a team of unknowns, the rest is history. Here are the stats but what were your memories from our fantastic season that started at Kidderminster. So after a healthy but hefty Lincolnshire Lunch and a few beers, why not kick back and remember the gang, the goals & The Games – the Team and the ethos that Keith Built.
