With the exception of moves out for John Toft and Michael Dalton, last season’s squad is intact for 2011/12, which is terrific news for RCA. But manager Neil Hixon has been his usual busy self: Gavin Barton, Lee Owens, Leon Carling, Gary Shields and Andy Jennings have signed. And we are hoping for Mark ‘Sparky’ Davison’s signature by the end of the week.

Neil has some more offers out there. We will keep you updated.

Spectators at Silksworth Welfare Park were treated to an entertaining and surprisingly competitive game in the David 'Jock' McKinley Testimonial match between Silksworth FC and Sunderland RCA last night.

The home side ran out 2 - 1 winners with goals from Shaun Godfrey and James Gillespie. Keith Graydon replied for RCA with a free kick from outside the box. Late in the game, David 'Jock' McKinley nearly scored with a spectacular long range shot which just cleared the cross bar.
