Pot Black Club FC reach new heights.
After waiting 2 weeks to play Sportsguard Suffolk Sunday in a Senior Cup Quarter Final match against Brantham Athletic, the outcome was finally decided last Sunday.
Pot Black progressed to the semi-finals as Brantham cancelled the match late on Saturday evening (10.30.pm) due to lack of players availability. Although not the ideal way to progress, we are delighted to be playing in the semi-final of the most prestigious Sunday Cup competition in Suffolk. All players and officials of the club should be proud of such an achievement.
Also, with Pot Black unbeaten so far in the league and lying second with games in hand on our rivals and now a county semi-final to play, the season has gone way beyond expectations so far.
With the bad weather experienced before xmas and after, we are well behind schedule on our league games with only 6 out of 16 completed and are still involved in Cup games locally, also. This will mean a very busy time ahead to get all the games finished before the end of the season.. This will definitely test the strength of the squad but will give all the players an opportunity to shine and complete for a place in the team to play in the semi-final.
The draw has already been done and we will be playing Whitton Maypole 88 from the Ipswich League on March 1st..The venue which will be decided in the next couple of weeks by the Suffolk Cups committee and will be somewhere between Ipswich and Lowestoft but I have been told it will be a 2:15pm kick-off. Mind you, this does not give the players an excuse to get pissed up on the Saturday night before. SO BE WARNED!!!!!
As this is going to be a special day for the club, all supporters will be greatly appreciated.
Anyone wanting to go Wally is putting a sheet up at the Club !!!!

POT BLACK FOOTBALL TEAMS FLYING HIGH
First of all is........ How good does it feel that for the first time in umpteen years there's a great feeling coming from both of our football teams!! It's not before time...
All the years we've struggled for players, some have been the wrong types of players donning the Pot Black Shirts and whatever the other reasons, it made it hard for the poor sods called Management and committee who give their time and energy for the PB cause! So hats off for all of you its the combined effort of everyone who has helped to make us one of the best run clubs in the area! The web sites (Sat particularly) are the envy of everyone (You can tell by the hits) and the social atmosphere around the club is fantastic! We're all going to Prague on Friday 30Th. Jan for further team building and fitness training to prepare us for the final run in of the season.
So, whatever happens, even if the wheels fall off completely, it would still have been a great season. As it is, the Sat side have got some huge games coming up and are lying an unbelievable 3RD place, while the Sun mob are unbeaten and has the biggest game in Pot Blacks history on March 1st. We have won Suffolk Sunday cups before but these were all at a Junior level. To get to one game away from being one of the two best sides in Suffolk is a testimonial to everyone in the Club!!!! So I repeat, WELL DONE EVERYONE and see if we can keep it going for as long as humanly possible!!!!!
