Stephen Riley has been appointed First Team Manager to replace Martin Swales.
He has brought with him as his assistants Dan Madden and Leon Carling.
All three have extensive knowledge of the Northern League and bring with them a wealth of experience.
The club welcome all three to the club.
Sunderland RCA FC reluctantly have to announce that Martin Swales has tendered his resignation as manager after seven excellent years of service.
Much increased work and personal demands mean Martin has decided to stand down. We are very sorry to lose him.
The club wants to put on record our thanks and great appreciation for his unstinting efforts in maintaining RCA as a well respected and competitive members of the EBAC Northern League First Division, as well as leading the club on a number of memorable FA Cup and FA Vase runs.
As well as his football work he has been an assiduous fund raiser, and involved in all parts of the club's progress over the years, we are greatly indebted to him.
RCA wish Martin and his family all the best for the future, and hope to see him often at Sunderland LGV Park.
We will immediately begin the search for a new manager for Sunderland RCA FC.
Due to changes in travel arrangement announced by the Scottish Goverment the friendly against Elgin Albion on 9 May has been postponed. A new date is to be arranged possibly at the beginning of July.
Sunderland RCA will, all being well, return to football on Tuesday, 13th April 2021 in the Durham Challenge cup Kick off 7.30pm
The match will take place at the Ford Quarry Hub against Chester-Le-Sreet United from the Wearside League.
There is also a post season friendly arranged against Scottish club Elgin Albion on Saturday, 8th May 2021 kick off 3.00pm.
Brad Forster has decided to leave the club and join Sunderland West End. The club would like to wish him well on his return to his former club.
Saturday’s fixtures to be postponed
A further emergency meeting of the League Management Committee has been held to discuss the responses from clubs to the Government's changes to the Tier Three restrictions, which allows up to 150 spectators to attend NLS fixtures at Steps 5/6 but still maintains the existing restrictions on use of clubhouses and whether this would allow a possible resumption of fixtures following this week's national tier review.
A number of clubs were prepared to resume fixtures with effect from Saturday 19th December 2020 and attempt to carry on under what are extremely challenging Tier Three restrictions.
Some clubs have been told by their local councils that they are not permitted to sell refreshments.
The majority of clubs indicated that it wasn't financially viable for them to play games with attendances set at 150. Without any income from food and beverages, clubs would still have significant levels of expenditure with no grants being made available to cover any deficit.
Some clubs felt that a change to Tier Two restrictions allowing attendances to rise to 300 could allow a return, but any such decision is now unlikely to come before Thursday or possibly later this week.
As a consequence the LMC has decided to postpone this weekend's fixtures.
Hi All
As you will all be aware the current lockdown ends at midnight on the 2nd December 2020 and will be replaced by a three tier system based on total number of Covid cases in an area; the number of cases in over 60s; rate at which cases are rising or falling; the proportion of test results coming back positive and pressure on the NHS.
Decisions made by the Government will unfortunately see 36 of the league's 40 clubs placed in areas covered by Tier Three restrictions which would allow football to be played at Steps 5/6 but would require them to be played behind closed doors thereby removing significant income streams for all our clubs.
Although the FA has stressed that their key objective is to conclude the 2002/21 season and implement promotion and relegation, either through completion of the fixtures schedule or by a mathematical formula if the season is incomplete, it is the feeling of the LMC that it at this stage it’s simply not financially viable to ask clubs to play without spectators being present.
