On Sunday 8th April our ability counts
premiership team were crowned
champions of the South Yorkshire Ability
Counts League.
Our title winning campaign started on
Sunday 10th September 2017 with an
impressive 7-1 win over Club Doncaster
Titans and a 4-1 win over Wisewood.
Throughout the season we put in some
great performances to challenge the
toughest teams in the league. The lads
played 10 games this season, scoring 33
goals in total and only losing 2 games.
It all came down to the last two games of
the season, with us and Derek Dooley on
the same points going into the final set of
fixtures. We managed to secure a 2-1 win
over Doncaster Communication College
which was a very close game and then it
was all down to the final game of the
season vs City Knights. City Knights had just
won 1-0 against Derek Dooley in the
previous game, which meant we needed to
gain 3 points from City Knights to win the
league on goal difference.
The must win game for Rotherham United
started off very close and the score line
was 0-0 for the first 20 minutes, with the
City Knights keeper pulling off some
impressive saves. It went down to the final
few minutes, where James Hammond
broke through and scored to make it 1-0.
The final whistle went and thanks to James
Hammond’s last minute goal, Rotherham
United were crowned Premiership
champions of the South Yorkshire Ability
Counts League.
We would like to congratulate Mickey
Parkes, Connor Worrall, Keith Parker,
Danny Grubb, Kyle Reid, James Hammond,
Callum Majer, Chris Flanaghan, and Chris
Sanderson for a fantastic season and thank
them for their continued effort in training
and matches.
