U16 Pinks 28/10/2010 Sponsored Walk
Well done to Tom, Dave and the U16 'Pinks' who all took part in a sponsored hike at Ulswater today.
They started with a half hour ferry ride from Glenridding to Howtown and then began their 8 mile hike along the far side of the lake, through Patterdale and back to Glenridding. Despite at times torrential rain and wind everybody was in good spirits and it proved a great team building exercise. Thanks also to the support of Judith, Glen, and Neil.

SEWER WORKERS GET SOCCER CLUB ON THE RIGHT TRACK
Road works might be a motorist's worst nightmare, but for one Carlisle football club they're a dream come true.
Excavators and compacting equipment have transformed the access track at Crown Newlaithes' ground in Rickerby Park - courtesy of contractors working on United Utilities' huge city sewer scheme.
The 100m long track was once a narrow pot-holed menace for players, coaches and visitors to any of the club's 16 teams.
But by re-laying and widening the track contractors DCT, who are working for United Utilities, have made it better than ever.
Club chairman Jim Hunter said: "We're very fortunate to have such a great ground but the track was letting us down. It's on the flood plain and was always pot-holed. We have 16 teams, including girls teams and a senior side. That's more than 150 players alone. It was very difficult for people to drive down.
"Now it has been properly made-up and even widened in places so we can use it for extra car parking on match days."
Re-making the track took two diggers and four lorry loads of highways grade stone donated by DCT and Thompsons of Prudhoe. Meanwhile fencing was supplied and installed by TL and VM Armstrong and agricultural contractor Paul Davidson, while Graeme Walker made and fitted a new gate.
The club also received support from the Cumberland Show Committee and Carlisle City Council, who maintain the park and gave permission for the work to go ahead.
DCT is working on a multi million pound scheme in the middle of Carlisle to upgrade the city's sewers and help prevent flooding. The project is part of United Utilities' £2.9 billion five year programme to improve water and wastewater services and protect the environment.
DCT site manager Craig Shuttleton said DCT was pleased to be able to help out.
"DCT is part of the Considerate Contractors scheme which means we like to help out the communities we work in. I think the track looks a lot tidier now. It will be better for everyone who uses the park," he said.
The picture shows Craig Shuttleton & Steve Christer of DCT with Dougie Burns, club secretary and some of the clubs players at the completion of the work.
Well done to Our U16s (pictured below). What a great achievement for you all this season as you have now won the treble – League, League Cup and County Cup and have been undefeated all season. Well done Girls, Crown Newlaithes FC are very proud and honoured to have such a talented team in their Club. Also congrats to Manager Eddie Williams and Assistant Graham Ostridge for training such a great team.
U16 County Cup Final - Winners & Losers
Congratulations to the U16 Girls for winning the League and County Cup double. The team beat Harraby 2-0 in the County cup final and beat the same team 4-0 in the league to seal the title. The two teams are pictured with their medals after the County Cup final, which was held at Gillford Park (click on the link for a feature and action pictures on the Cumberland FA Website http://www.cumberlandfa.com/News/2009/04/TescoUnder16GirlsCountyCupFinal.htm The team now goes forward to represent Cumberland FA at the Northern Regional Final in Manchester on April 25th. The team has also qualified for what will be an all Newlaithes League Cup final to be held at Brunton Park against the Crown Newlaithes Jules. As far as we know, this will be the first ever girl’s match to be played on the full-sized pitch at Brunton Park. Well done to both teams!!!

Please speak to Fred Gill before you book yourself a pitch at the sheepmount and he will advise you if our pitches are playable or not. The Sheepmount's pitches are very expensive and the club cannot justify the cost if we can play at Rickerby.

Benn Atkinson who was in the England trials at Crystal Palace- Unfortunately, the team that Benn was in didn't make it to the final (All the kids were put into 6 teams & played each other - the winning team went on to represent England in a world cup u12 tournament in France).
However, Benn had a great weekend, and was the only boy from Cumbria in the last 84, from over 5000 trialists!!!
Well done Benn, you should be proud of your achievement!

Skegness Tournament 16th - 19th May 2008
Under 14's Champions
A fantastic weekend was had by our 2 U14's girls teams at Butlins, Skegness.
Both teams were in holiday mode but still played very competitively in the Foxes cup.
Julies team eventually won the tournament to receive a trophy of world cup proportions. With Chelsea also winning the Molten Ball Award for shot of the Tournament. A 20 yard screamer against the Pinks, which was only contested by one other shot which was by one of Tom's team, Chloe's thump from the halfway line which left the Goalie no chance!
Tom's side, supplemented by 3 younger players from Doug's team, finished third and were the only team to take points off of their older colleagues, being beaten only once in the tournament.
The presentation night was fantastic,lots of glam,bangs and excitement, and the Crown Newlaithes girls were the noisiest with both teams cheering for each other.
The camaraderie over the weekend was incredible,with both teams and parents already planning next years trip.
All players went for free on this trip after a massive fund raising effort.
Under 14's Pinks finished Third

13th May 2008
Congratulations must go to Crown Newlaithes Under 12's Girls 'The Pinks' who today were crowned:
League Champions for the 2007 - 2008 Season.
After a fantastic performance in a league play-off against a battling Carlisle City, after being tied on points when the league finished. This is a massive achievement especially after not having a full squad most of the time during the early part of the season, as well as having three players who had never played football for a team before!!!
It was also a big learning curve for the management team as well as Dawn had never managed before!
So congratulations must also go to Dougie & Dawn, your a credit to the club as well as the girls.
