Colliery FOOTBALL CLUB
ased at Welfare Park in Durham , Easington Colliery AFC currently competes in Division 2 of the Northern League . They gained promotion to this league in the
2014 / 15 campaign when they finished 2nd in the Wearside League .
Having finished in 6th position last season they have enjoyed a positive first half of their campaign this time around , putting together a record of fourteen wins , six draws and five defeats from their twenty five matches . This sees them lying in 6th place in the table with fifteen matches to play .
This should provide them with a solid platform from which to push on from both this season and further into the future . As long as they are able to

8 Whitworth Road , South West Industrial Estate Peterlee , Durham , SR8 2LY retain their current group of players and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be well set up for success .
Another reason to be optimistic about the future for the club is the superb youth section that they have in place . This part of the club looks to provide young players from the local area with an opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment whilst helping them to reach their full potential .
It is important for any club looking to be successful over a sustained period to be able to produce their own talent , particularly in the current financial climate and this is an area they appear to have covered . It will certainly be exciting to see how their youngsters can progress in the coming years .
One of the highlights of the first team ’ s performances this season has been the attacking brand of football that they have been able to produce . This has been reflected by the fact that they have found the back of the net fifty five times
in the league alone at a rate of more than two per game .
This will certainly have meant that any supporters attending their matches will have been well entertained and should encourage more of the local community to get behind the side in the future . This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue .
There is much to admire about the fine set up that Easington Colliery currently has in place and this is thanks to all of the hard work that has gone into making them a success . Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to come . www . footballfocus . biz 49
