[text_center]Thorne Colliery Round-up[/text_center]
With the final of the Goole & Thorne District FA Cup, against local side Dunscroft United FC, at the Victoria Pleasure Grounds, Goole to look forward to, Colliery also have a semi- final against Sutton Rovers at the Askern Welfare Ground in the Doncaster and District FA Challenge Cup. Following a win against Real Utd (see below), in the Central Midlands League Challenge Cup, that makes a cup treble a real possibility.
Colliery also still currently hold 4th spot in the Central Midlands league, Black Dragon Division North.
