2008-2009 Season Starts here!

Loco continued their promotion every two seasons routine again last season. Now in Division Three, the re-building process begins. We’ve got the latest…It may be hot outside, but it’s not going to be as hot as some of the training sessions that we’ve got planned over the summer!We begin on Thursday June 26th at 7pm at King George V Fields in Ferndown. This will be a fitness training evening.

We then get started on Saturdays with some morning football, at the same venue, kicking off at 10am in the morning. People who attended last season will know how arduous but fun these pre-season sessions can be. Once again, we have acquired the use of Big Trev, the man who cycles 300 miles a day, in order to try to get us in to shape in September - it should be interesting.

Since the beginning of Locomotive T&D, the club has gained promotion into higher divisions every two seasons.  Guided by the wizardry of Paul Cashmore, Loco did it again last season, and next year we will be competing in the fourth tier of BFA football. Cash was the person who instigated the training routines, and they certainly paid off towards the end of the season, where Loco put in some astounding performances, one of which helped our friends (and rivals) at AFC Verwood grab the title from the league-leaders for most of the season, Burns Lettings.

Please note, we are a dedicated football team!  Although we do like to have fun, our main objective at Loco is to play football and play it to the best of our ability - through this, we gain a strong team ethic and good friendships form between our fellow players and supporters, as we’re all striving for the same goal… This helps Loco stand out from any other football team in Dorset.

That said, you don’t have to be Christiano Ronaldo to play for Loco (although it would help!). For the first few sessions we’d really love to have as many people coming along to our sessions. If you’d like to get fit, then Loco is the place to be!  If you’d like to have a kick-around, then Loco is the place to be!

Please see the right hand-side of the web-site for the training schedule…

Good luck to Loco in the 2008/2009 season!
