They went down 2 – 7 to Darlington, 1 – 8 to Bishop Auckland A and 0 – 9 to Ormesby A.

Adam and Andrew also played for the Juniors along with Thaaquib Saleem in the Northern Section of the National Junior League with a great deal of success. Three out of four matches were won as follows:

7 - 2 over Blitz(Gainsborough) 8 – 1 against Ormesby II and 9– 0 against Ormesby III. They were ,however, beaten 7 – 2 by Bishop Auckland II
