It might be rather dramatic to describe 2025 as ‘annus horribilis’ but it has certainly been a year we will all be keen to forget.  It has been a difficult twelve months for the club – on the pitch, at least.

Saturday’s journey to North East Lincolnshire proved to be Reds’ longest trip of the season and took us to an area of the country we haven’t visited since playing at Grimsby Town’s Blundell Park back in 1971.

It was a case of too little, too late as Reds came to life late in the day in their first ever meeting against Cleethorpes Town, a young club on the up.

Reds will play their last game of the year on Saturday when they make their way to Humberside for a first ever meeting against Cleethorpes Town.
