In this episode of Extra Time, we feature, Josh Sommerton & Alex LaFleur. There was a time, in my playing days – or in other words eons ago – when defenders were really only asked to defend, but nowadays they have to do more. We didn’t have wing-backs for example, and, as I have said…

In this episode of Extra Time, we feature a range of goalkeepers from the 2019/20 season. Goalies – sometimes you either love’em….or not! Of all the positions on the pitch, arguably these guys (of whom it is often said “you have to be mad to be a keeper”) are almost always at the centre of…

Dan came back to the Mac from Wealdstone just before the start of the 2018/9 season, the first for the Club in the Southern Premier. He had previously been with the Whites in their “City” days, but his return saw him make 54 appearances, finding the net 19 times. His experience was invaluable at the…

During the season all the players contribute to a “fines” fund which is normally used to help pay for their end of season team holiday to the sun.  Clearly that is not possible to do this year.  As a result, the players have decided to donate this money, around £600, to the Salisbury District Hospital…

Well, now we know what I am sure we all anticipated – that the season 2019/20 has been brought to a premature close.
