Parents and volunteers put their heart and soul in to the club , the kids went to play in tournaments in spain and germany fully funded by the activities of the above and the hours they spent fund raising for the kids .
The Shaw Lane owner wanted to start his own team and used Baurgh to get a start after convincing the committee he was willing to invest money in to the club .
Aye he was good on his word except he went around throwing wads of cash at talent from both inside the town and elsewhere , he didn't give a shyte about the junior set up at Baurgh , the club became his toy and the volunteers and obviously the parents walked away
That's how Shaw Lane began so as you can imagine none of us are losing much sleep over Craig Wood and his ambitions going tyts up .
