Well it's here... the season starts again this coming Saturday.

Billingham welcome Wirral to Greenwood Road in the first league game of the season.

With both teams beating each other at home last season Billingham will be keen to start the season off well.

I caught up with head Coach Peter Evans '12 weeks of intense work and we are back. It’s been a fantastic pre season, carrying on from the great season last year and continuing the feel good factor within the club.

New signings, returning players and no lost players will hopefully help us continue to grow and improve.

This season more than ever we need a large squad, we already have long term knocks and with the league as tough as ever we need everyone.

We start off with a real test against an established National 3 team in Wirral. Always strong up front and a physical side we expect nothing but an extremely testing encounter. 1 each last year as the home teams took the spoils. Wirral will be on a high after beating a level 4 team in pre season and with a new coach they are bound to be bouncing.

It’s been the toughest selection for a long time, no doubt some disappointed folk but there is always opportunities to shine.

As we set out last season, no team has an easy ride at Greenwood Road and we hope to continue that. With only 1 loss at home last year and 2 the year before we are targeting an improved home record!

Exciting times ahead as we look to push on this season and continue to develop the whole senior section.'

Come and support your towns team.
