Ha cheers @Suffolk Seasider, ideally we'd rather be relegated as it would be a great chance to secure the Championship One title as well as perhaps the Intermediate Cup too but we aren't going to 'throw it' and if we survive then great.
Glenavon struck lucky at Mourneview Park and we're back to the bottom.
Had to come from behind to seal an opening day victory against Lurgan Celtic at Ferney as Jim Kelly, Darren Crawford, Niall Cassidy and David Cleary all found the net for the pre-season league favourites.
But we bounced back in style, beating basement club Dollingstown (who are in administration) 4-1 at Planter's Park, a brace from Darren Crawford helping us to victory.
This was perhaps our best 'all round' performance of the season as we recorded a sensational 5-1 win against Coleraine at the Coleraine Showgrounds (Coleraine are predicted to finish in second place). Declan Murphy's brace helped us to a tremendous away victory.
Just glad we got the win but it should've been a little more convincing against a Banbridge side who lost their last game 5-0 (I believe) at home to Crumlin Star. Our goalscorers were left winger David Cleary, central midfielder Anto Harris and attacking midfielder Jim Kelly but I was a little disappointed to have conceded twice though at home.
Stint has come to an end and this game will be uploaded to @Dan with immediate effect and it hasn't been the worst start to the season even though we've lost twice (vs. Killyleagh and vs. Newry) but that's grand as I didn't expect to win every game. Crumlin though, who are predicted to finish rock bottom, have had a tremendous and unbeaten start to life in Championship One which is surprising.
November saw a better month for us, it was quiet with just four games, but we picked up two wins in the Intermediate cup and one in the league to see us remain top of the pile.
December come and gone and its been another fairly satisfactory month with three wins and a defeat, annoying we lost against Coleraine. Through in the Irish Cup and the Intermediate cup. One league win, one defeat.
Hand the game back to @Shedender with us still sitting top but the top four teams are all tied on twenty seven points. Surprising to see Crumlin Star still up in second place and they could go top if they beat Warrenpoint in their game in hand. Coleraine in fifth are only a further point behind. Just six points seperate the top nine teams!

Off the bottom after this excellent two nil win at home to high flying Coagh - Gary Rice with a brace.

Shedender
Bottom with five games to go. @Dan I can't upload this save until later on, apologies but I need to learn my timekeeping, ha!

Well I was left with five league games to win relegation! A one all draw saw us immediately come off the bottom of the table.
Dan
Another point on the board. Not too bad.
Dan
We're now outside the relegation zone which is actually bad for us as we need to go down meaning I need to throw our last couple of games.
Dan
Thrown this game, Distellery jump us, we occupy the relegation playoff spot.
Dan
Weird to say this, but job done, relegation achieved and we keep our job!

Signed a new right back on a sixth month loan from Derry City.
And also arriving through the door is a new left back, on a free from Dollingstown.
Shedender
Just made a third signing as Jim Kelly has joined from amateur side Dromara.

Undone by two Killyleagh screamers, beating 2-1 at home which we didn't deserve in the slightest.

Easy League Cup passage against fellow C1 side Newington at Ferney Park. Darren Crawford and Niall Cassidy hitting braces.
Shedender
Of course the red card played a major part of the game, but we still beat P.S.N.I 4-1 at Ferney Park, yet we fell behind.

Just destroyed Warrenpoint Town 6-0 at home. Braces from both strikers Iain Robinson and Darren Crawford helping us to this big win.
Shedender
This was a little disappointing as Newry deservedly won 3-1 at the Newry Showgrounds. Poor stuff.

Not sure what drugs @Shedender had this team playing on but its certainly going to pieces here, awful first month in charge.

Niall Cassidy's 91st minute goal has given us a dramatic victory at Milltown against Warrenpoint Town, winning two one.
Shedender
Eased into the next round of the Irish Cup with this easy victory over Tandragee, Niall Cassidy with a brace late on.
