Performance

In their first season, the club began with indifferent form, with a lack of consistency leaving them in mid-table and out of both the FA Cup and FA Trophy.

After an impressive start and 4 points against 2nd placed local rivals Hednesford Town form began to slip, and a 2-1 home defeat to fellow challengers Burscough on the final game of the season, in front of a record crowd of 5710, left the club finishing third in the table.
