Mark returns and welcome Alex

Mark Davison and Sunderland RCA manager Martin Swales

Terrific news for RCA fans: we welcome strikers Mark Davison and Alex Ramshaw to Meadow Park.

Mark returns to the club for the third time, having played for Spennymoor, Washington and Morpeth Town. Always popular, always in the goals, it's great to have Mark - and his family - back with the club.

Alex Ramshaw

Also adding to the excitement as we build for the new season is Alex Ramshaw, who has joined us from neighbours Seaham Red Star.

Our Swaz named Manager of the Season

Our manager, Martin Swales, has been named Non League Manager of the Season by Mark Carruthers in the Sunday Sun.

Congratulations Martin. It’s the icing on the cake of a fantastic season.

Mark Carruthers comments that RCA “have finished above some big-name clubs and it has been down to Swales’ ability to get the most out of his players and their willingness to do everything their manager asks of them.”

Mark also mentioned the outstanding season from Dylan Elliot in the Young Plsyer of the Year category.

Match preview

Reece Noble in action against Guisborough Town last season.

As the season draws to a close, Sunderland RCA have three matches at home in the coming week:

On Saturday, 28 April, we host Guisborough Town, with a 3pm kick-off. No guarantees, but recent matches between the two sides have been cracking encounters with goals, goals, goals. Last season, in the corresponding fixture, RCA were beaten 4-2 by Guisborough, and this season, at the KGV, RCA won a thrilling match 4-3 with terrific goals from Nathan O'Neill and Colin Larkin, who grabbed a brace apiece.
