The club are today able to confirm details of the much anticipated Annual Jolly Boys Outing. On Saturday 15th July we will face Welsh side Conwy Borough at their Y Morfa ground; kick off will be at 14:00. In previous years we have travelled to Holyhead Hotspur, Sunderland RCA, Llay Welfare, Glantraeth and of course who could forget recent days out in Whitley Bay, Eccleshall and Carlisle? Last summer around 80 players, coaches and supporters spent the day in Carlisle where a number of local pubs were taken over by the Colls Crazy Gang and the Barmy Army. This time around we will head be heading back to North Wales to take on Conwy Borough. The club spent last season in the Welsh second tier, meaning this will be a great challenge for the players as well as providing a great day out for everybody. Before, during and after the match there will be ample opportunity for the supporters to enjoy a few drinks in local pubs and of course the bar at the ground. Everybody is then invited to head back to the Rope & Anchor in Atherton for a few drinks. Coach travel information will be confirmed nearer the time of the match. Demand will be high so please keep checking social media for updates if you want to come along. If there is enough demand we may look at putting further transport on.
