#sheepmen
So that brings an end to our 22/23 season
A campaign that was always going to be tough, but the lads created some great memories and also established themselves in a new league
Getting to the 3QR in our first ever FA Cup campaign and hosting Luton Town were 2 real highlights 💙
Also joining the group is James Younger, most recently with Stotfold and Langford with 17 goals last season.
Equally adept as a striker or in attacking midfield, Younger will be looking to hold down a regular place in the squad for the forthcoming season and kick on
Big welcome to Liam Errington who joins the Management Team alongside Kane and JT

Shefford Town and Campton FC Remember
Shefford made it 8 wins in a row yesterday with a 1-0 win against a spirited London Tigers
After missing a host of chances, including a penalty, and having 2 dubious goals disallowed it looked as though it would be one of those days, until Ryan Lewis popped up with a late winner
2-4 Game over
We return back to sheep land with all 3 points after another impressive performance.
Goals from Snee, Lewis, Hammer and Thake sees us maintain our undefeated start.
Time for beer and Ingham. Goodnight 🐑
