2 HARTLEY WINTNEY FC HISTORY Hartley Wintney Football Club History Hartley Wintney Football Club was founded in the North Hampshire village of Hartley Wintney in 1897 and played in an area adjacent to the village's golf and cricket clubs, the facilities not quite being up to today's standard, with only a horse trough or the pond to remove the heavy mud from a sub-standard pitch. The Club's nickname of 'The Row' comes from 'Hartley Row', a former hamlet within Hartley Wintney. In 1953, the club moved to its present ground in Green Lane, known as 'The Memorial Ground'. A pavilion was erected and the team played in the Basingstoke League and, later, in the Aldershot League. In 1973, an influx of players under new manager Glynn Howell put the club firmly on the local football map. In his six year reign, the team won the Aldershot Senior League three times in succession, and the Aldershot Senior Cup. After several seasons in the Aldershot Senior League, Hartley were admitted to the Combined Counties League (previously Surrey Senior League). After the first couple of seasons and two changes of management, the club appointed Ian Bedford, and once again an influx of senior players brought Hartley success. Within his three years in management, they gained trophies including the League Title ( ) and Runners Up ( ), Aldershot Senior Cup Winners ( ), and George Allen Cup Winners ( ). They were also Runners Up in the League Cup ( ) and Aldershot Senior Cup ( ). The club gained promotion from Division One of the Combined Counties League in under manager Mike Scott, but began poorly and, despite a change of management, the season ended in relegation by a narrow margin. Under the management team of Pete Gray and John Condon, the first team rallied in 09-10, finishing 5th in CCL Div 1, and 7th in season under manager Louis King after Pete Gray had stepped down for family reasons. The season under manager Neville Roach, Assistant Mick Wollen and Coach Scott Tarr was a notable one for the club as they again achieved promotion to the Combined Counties League Premier Division, as well as having a fine FA Cup run that took them to the Third Qualifying Round. However, end-of-season celebrations were dampened when the coaching staff left to join Thatcham Town. The entire squad bar two players departed, so new manager Dave Tuttle was faced with the task of rebuilding a squad competitive enough for the CCL Premier. A string of poor results led to a second change in management in less than 4 months, with 24 year-old ex-hartley player, Ben Dillon, given his first managerial position already deep into the season. Once again there was an almost total outflow of players from Tuttle's squad, and Ben, with assistants Jason Minton and Joe Lawler, set about rebuilding the squad, but by this time with Hartley set well adrift at the bottom of the table. The introduction of a talented group of players restored the spirit around the club, and in what became known as the club's 'Great Escape' season, Hartley Wintney's place in the CCL Premier was secured against all the odds after a truly remarkable second half of the season.

3 HARTLEY WINTNEY FC HISTORY Ben further strengthened the squad for , with Steve Saunders and player/coach Dan Brownlie brought in to the coaching setup alongside Jason and Joe. The season started well and there were notable wins in the FA Cup on a run that took the club to the 4th Qualifying Round for the first time in its history. The cup run took its toll on league form but the club finished a creditable 7th in the Premier Division. After a comfortable 9th place finish in , Ben Dillon stepped down and Dan Brownlie and Anthony Millerick were appointed Joint First Team Managers, alongside coaches Joe Lawler and Luke Tuffs. With strong additions to the playing squad, it was an eventful season. After a memorable 1-0 win away at Southern League Merthyr Town in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, Hartley took Conference South Eastbourne Borough to the wire, losing out to an injury time winner. In the FA Vase, a longstanding club record was broken by reaching the 5th Round Proper played in front of a sell-out 1,300 at Green Lane against the eventual finalists, Hereford FC. And despite the cup commitments, the club topped the CCL Premier Division for most of the season and claimed the league title. Promotion, however, was denied due to ground grading issues. Faced with huge challenges on and off the pitch - to achieve back-to-back title wins and put in place the necessary ground improvements to take advantage of any second opportunity for promotion - the season was perhaps the club's best yet, topping the Combined Counties League Premier Division for the entire season, reaching the semi-finals of the Hampshire senior county cup and the final of the Aldershot Senior Cup, and securing the required ground grading to allow the club to take its place in The Evo-Stik (Southern) League South; the first time in its history that the club has made it to Step 4 of the English football pyramid. To top off a wonderful season, our young Youth team won the Hampshire FA Youth Midweek Floodlit Cup, winning on penalties against a strong Aldershot Town U18. Hartley Wintney FC has come a long way, from 'village side' in every sense of the term, to today's 7 days a week modern football club. The football club has established a clear line of progression for young players with the establishment of an U18 Youth setup, currently playing in the Allied Counties Youth League, a Reserve team playing in the Suburban League, and an A Team playing in the Aldershot & District Football League.

I thought it was an impressive team performance with a number of stand out individuals. The Man of the Match award which was chosen by Jenny Jackson, guest of our match day sponsor Hart Taxi s was Paul Hodges. At the time of writing the weather God s are doing a Hereford on us. I say this as the Hereford game was marred by inclement weather. Fingers crossed that this is not the case today.

10 MILLERS MUSINGS Firstly, a warm welcome to Hartley to Neil Smith, all his squad, staff and all of the Bromley faithful. We hope you enjoy your visit to our fine village and have a safe journey home. Another season, another massive game here at Green Lane and another opportunity to test ourselves against a team from a higher level. times this season, possibly the best passing football in the years that we've been in charge and that will be put to the test today. Bromley will be well drilled, organised and will be briefed on ways to impose their game on us and expose our weaknesses, we will have to identify that and be fluid in our approach. This season we have already scalped some big teams in the FA competitions but make no mistake, this is our biggest challenge yet against possibly the top ranked team that has ever visited this club. Today presents an opportunity for this player group to see just how good it is and how good it can be when pushed. We should have a full squad today and I can't remember a time we were outclassed with all our players present, including pre-season against higher opposition. Today won't solely be about ability, we'll need 14 brave players to cross the line with a dogged, determined attitude and not afraid to express themselves with the ball. We've played some excellent football at The difference in league stature is similar to when we went to Eastbourne Borough as a step 5 side, I recall we did well on that day! In all the big games we've played, both home and away, my only gripe is occasionally we show too much respect to our opposition for the early parts of the game. We did it against Hereford, 60 minutes against Eastbourne and the same against Basingstoke. We are a very good group with bags of ability, we have nothing to fear here today except not showcasing what we are good at! I hope you all enjoy today and for those making their first trip to Hartley, we'd love to see you return and support the boys. Up the Row!

11 Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Bromley FC. Well what an exciting day this is going to be! The boys have been rewarded for an excellent cup run with a Home draw against a side riding high in the Conference National. Bromley will obviously be an excellent side, arguably the best we ve ever welcomed to our home, but maybe the environment will be slightly alien to them and even up the playing field slightly! The carrot for the winners isn t just 6,000 but a place in the 2nd round proper, just 4 wins from Wembley. As Millers said, today is a freebie so to speak, but we all know the boys will do their best to pick this carrot and eat it. Last week we beat Moneyfields to push TUFFS TALKING ourselves back into a play-off position in the Evo-Stick South East. After a close first half I felt we blew them away in the second. Moneyfields were clearly a good side but going down to 10 men so early won t have helped their cause. I felt we moved the Ball very well after this and they weren t mobile enough to keep up which led to their undoing. Enjoy today, and whatever the outcome i know our supporters will be right behind the lads and have a great time! See you all in the bar! Tuffs 1st Team Head Coach Walton & Hersham 1 Hartley Wintney Youth 1 (Walton win on penalties) The Youth bowed out of the League Cup on penalties against a good footballing Walton side. Full time was 1-1 after they had taken the lead on 55 minutes and Rory Williams had equalised on 70. I felt Walton shaded possession but we had the better chances which can often be the way. On penalties the boys were brave but alas not to be.the positive is though that is now just 1 defeat in their last 7 over the course of 90 minutes which of course you have to give credit for. So well done lads, onto Thatcham Town in the league next week.

12 South, East Round-Up Beaconsfield Town took advantage of AFC Rushden & Diamonds and AFC Dunstable`s inactivity on Saturday to move into second place in the Evo-Stik League South, East table, two points behind Diamonds. The Rams won 2-0 at Short Lane against Ashford Town (Middx) with goals from Bajram Pashaj after 56 minutes and Goldy Capela in the 69th minute. Cambridge City moved to fourth, a point behind Beaconsfield, after hammering mid -table Uxbridge 5-1 at St Ives. Having beaten Aylesbury United 6-1 seven days earlier, City are looking dangerous for the top three The visitors, who inflicted a first defeat of the season on Moneyfields last weekend, found themselves 2-0 down at half-time after goals from Jack Vasey after 37 minutes and Ryan Sharman 5 minutes later. Recent recruit James Hall added a third on 54 minutes, Sharman his second on 71 minutes and City`s newest signing, Ben Seymour-Shove, added a fifth 10 minutes from time after Anthony Thomas had scored a consolation for the Reds. As for Moneyfields, they seem to be imploding and were down to ten-men early on before going down to a 5-1 defeat at fellow newcomers Hartley Wintney. It was 1-1 at the break with Rowan Vine for the home side and Steve Hutchings` penalty for Moneys. But the ten-men were put to the sword in the second half as Paul Hodges, Josh Webb and Vine again added to Hartley`s tally and move them into sixth, a place below Moneys, three points behind with a game in hand. Kempston Rovers are level on points with Hartley Wintney in seventh after a 4-1 derby win over fourth-bottom Barton Rovers at Hillgrounds. Sam Johnson gave the Walnut Boys the lead on the half-hour mark, only for Andrew Phillips to pull Barton level 5 minutes later. Jake Newman bagged a brace on 43 and 61 minutes to put the home side in control and Josh Crawley made the points safe with number four in the 81st minute. Chalfont St Peter skipped above Hayes & Yeading United into eighth place after winning 2-1 at the SKYEx Community Stadium. Alex Paine after 23 minutes and Victor Osobu 6 minutes later had the Saints in command, with Ismael Ehui eventually reducing the deficit 10 minutes from time. Bottom-markers Arlesey Town put up a battle at home to Egham Town before going down 3-2. Henry Musay gave the hosts a 12th minute lead, but a Marcus Mealing brace on 26 and 64 minutes put the Sarnies ahead and Mitch Wiseman made it 3-1 with 13 minutes remaining. But Nathan Fowler pulled one back in the 82nd minute to make it a nervy finale. Ryan Auger`s goal 17 minutes from time settled the game between Bedford Town and second-bottom Hanwell Town at the New Eyrie, while Thame United won the other remaining game 4-0 at home against Fleet Town. James McGowan gave the home side an early 9th minute lead that Luke Ricketts doubled after 16 minutes and Lynton Goss took them into the break 3-0 up with a third a minute before the whistle. Top scorer Dan West added a fourth just past the hour-mark.

13 South, West Round-Up Taunton Town issued a statement of intent in the Evo-Stik League South, West on Saturday by beating fellow promotion favourites Salisbury FC 4-1 at the Viridor Stadium, and with second-placed Bristol Manor Farm suffering a 3-2 home defeat to now fourth-placed AFC Totton, the Peacocks hold a ten-point lead at the top of the table and with games in hand too. Taunton s only defeat in the league this season was a 4-1 loss to Yate Town in late September, but in front of a crowd of 630, they took control of this one with two goals in the opening 18 minutes from Dan Sullivan and Matt Buse. Buse scored again after 35 minutes and 3 minutes after the break, Matt Wright made it game over with Taunton`s fourth, with Owen Howe`s penalty on 58 minutes being all the Whites could muster in reply. AFC Totton pulled off a terrific result at Bristol Manor Farm. Tony Lee scored twice after 28 and 45 minutes with Craig Feeney adding a belting goal in between on 35 minutes to give the Stags a 3-0 half-time lead. Farm fought back in the second half and pulled two back through Jordan Metters after 63 minutes and Kyle Holly`s penalty 8 minutes later, but the Hampshire side had just done enough. After the top two, just three points separate third-placed Wimborne Town and ninth-placed Didcot Town. Wimborne, AFC Totton, Bideford and Winchester City are all on 33 points. The Magpies beat Kidlington 1-0 at home, thanks to a goal 3 minutes from time from Toby Holmes, while Bideford came back from 2-0 down at home to Shortwood United to salvage a 2-2 draw. A James Mayne own goal after 10 minutes and a Nick Humphreys effort after 25 minutes had United in control. Ben Seymour pulled one back on the half-hour mark and then grabbed the leveller from the spot 10 minutes from time. Third-bottom Mangotsfield United beat Didcot 2-0 at Cossham Street, courtesy of goals from Jordan Ricketts after 36 minutes and Kane Simpson 10 minutes from the end, while Cirencester Town pulled up to sixteenth after a 3-1 Corinium Stadium victory over secondbottom Barnstaple Town in which Lloyd Gardner had Barum in front from the 27th minute. It wasn`t until 7 minutes into the second half that the hosts equalised through Ellis Dunton, but then Ben Whitehead bagged a brace in the 82nd and 87th minutes to win it for Ciren. Saturday`s only other game saw Paulton Rovers and Cinderford Town share a 1-1 draw in which Liam Monelle`s 13th minute opener for Rovers was cancelled out by the Foresters` Craig Norman just past the hourmark.

14 Good afternoon everybody! We welcome our guests Bromley FC today - not AFC Bromley as the legend John Motson states in a video he produced for us. It was a passionate response on our twitter feed from the Bromley faithful so we can only apologise on Motty's behalf! Last Saturday we hosted Moneyfields, the reports we received on them suggested in no uncertain terms that they were big, physical and liked getting in and around the referee. It's fair to say the reports were amazingly accurate. I don't hide behind the fact that them being reduced to ten men made a big difference to the game, but we still had to show our quality to pick them apart. Millers & I both had complaints regarding previous fixtures that we weren't taking our chances in front of goal - scoring five against what once the the runaway league leaders was a good way to respond. We dealt with their physicality, we moved the ball well and kept it at the right times. Our game management was better than I've seen it in quite some time. This competition (FA Trophy) started back on October 7th when we narrowly beat Slimbridge 1-0 at their place thanks to a Paul Hodges goal on the edge of the box. We then travelled to the much fancied Swindon Supermarine where Rowan Vine debuted scoring in a 3-1 win. We then hosted higher league Gosport Borough and a crowd of 200+ crowd saw a convincing 3-0 ONE SIDE OF THE DUGOUT win. The games kept coming and fortunately we didn't run out of legs when we faced local rivals Farnborough FC in a memorable match where we earned a 2-1 win. It's been a long journey in this competition and the joy of it being our debut in the competition has meant that each and every round we've gone through has been a record breaker for the club. It could look as though I am fondly remembering what has gone before this game because the assumption is this is where our story ends, and so it might, but the real reason is to remind ourselves of the effort that has gone to get us to this position. An effort that must not be forgotten as we go in to this afternoons game, a reminder that this game deserves our absolute everything. It's a game that we want to finish with absolutely no regrets - we want to enjoy today but that only really comes with our ability to give a true account of ourselves, sometimes the difference between winning and losing is not giving in. As the spotlight draws over Hartley once again and allows us to showcase what we are about as a club. We hope everybody enjoys the day and that everyone connected with Bromley enjoys their brief stay with us. It's sure to be a good game of football - one in which we are very looking forward to it. Get behind the boys today, get those scarves and hats on - let's see what we can do! #UTR

18 WHAT THE MILLERICK S PAPERS SAY: MUSIINGS MONEYFIEDS Hartley Wintney v Moneyfields. Evo-Stik League South, East Division. Saturday 9th December Report by David Graham Hartley Wintney posted a big win over a very combative Moneyfields side who played for 84 minutes with just 10 players. It was the visitors who started the brighter and could have been two ahead in the first five minutes. On 3 minutes, Lewis Fenniemore created space on the right and his cross saw a flick from Sam Pearce bring out a good save from Paul Strudley in the Hartley goal. Two minutes later, a cross from Joseph Briggs across the front of the goal saw Ryan Pennery just fail to turn the ball into the net at the back post. After 6 minutes the Money were reduced to ten men when Lewis Fenniemore received a straight red card for violent conduct. Referee Daniel Lamport spotted that Rowan Vine was kicked while both were on the ground with the ball nowhere near either player. Despite the man disadvantage it was the visitors who had the next attempt on goal when Ryan Pennery created space for a shot which was held by Paul Strudley. The Row had their first attempt on goal after 18 minutes when Paul Hodges, coming in from the right, drew a save from Steven Mowthorpe in the Money's goal. Two minutes later, good link up play between Jake Baxter and Josh Webb saw the latter s shot saved by Mowthorpe with his feet. On 23 minutes, a slick passing move from the Row saw Jack French s strong shot from the edge of the box parried onto the post by Mowthorpe.Hartley continued to dominate and on 32 minutes took the lead. A corner from Dean Stow was not completely cleared, and when the ball was returned into the box by Stow, Paul Hodges set up Rowan Vine to score from just inside the penalty box. (1-0) Hartley were dominating the game but it was the Money who scored the next goal. On 43 minutes, the physical Steve Hutchings went down just inside the penalty area after a strong challenge. Hutchings took the penalty kick and scored easily (1-1). Hutchings, who had previously been booked, was lucky to remain on the pitch after a robust challenge on Dean Stow on the stroke of half time. HALF TIME: HARTLEY WINTNEY 1 MONEY- FIELDS 1 The second half started with a chance at either end, with the Row taking the lead. On 46 minutes, a long free kick into the Row area saw a flick on by Brett Poate, and Sam Pearce brought out a good stop from Paul Strudley. A minute later Hartley were in the lead after clever play in midfield involving Rowan Vine set Jake Baxter free with a clear run in on goal. The Row striker rounded Mowthorpe before stroking the ball into the empty net (2-1). On 54 minutes, after a spell of pressure, Hartley increased their lead. Good play on the edge of the box by Jack French and Josh Webb saw the former s shot parried by Mowthorpe, who was then helpless as he watched Paul Hodges following up to head into the net. (3-1).

19 WHAT THE PAPERS SAY: MONEYFIELDS On 58 minutes, Joseph Briggs had a good effort for the visitors held by Strudley as they strove to get back into the game. Four minutes later it was the visitors' heads who rose highest to a Briggs corner and the Row were relieved to see the ball knocked off the line for a corner. On 67 minutes, Rowan Vine cleverly set up Jake Baxter who was unlucky to see his effort deflected wide. Three minutes later Baxter was again in for a shot following a good pass from Hodges, but his effort lacked power and was easily saved. The Row made the game safe on 75 minutes with a fourth goal. A sweeping move created a chance for Paul Hodges, who saw his effort parried by Mowthorpe. However, Josh Webb, following up, drove the ball into the corner of the net. (4-1) Two minutes from the end, Paul Hodges worked space on the edge of the penalty box and his perfectly weighted pass saw Rowan Vine drive the ball into the net to complete the scoring. (5-1) Man of the Match as chosen my match day sponsor, Hart Taxis, was Paul Hodges. [D Graham] FULL TIME: HARTLEY WINTNEY 5 MONEY- FIELDS 1 Comments following the game from the Hartley coaching staff: "It was a good win against a very experienced, skilful and physical side," joint manager Anthony Millerick told David. "Our performance levels were good and we kept the ball well." Fellow joint first team manager, Daniel Brownlie, added, "We kept good possession throughout the match against a difficult team to play against. We are very pleased with the displays of Callum Eagle, Joe Paris and Louie Paget, who have all come in after being out for a few weeks." First team coach, Luke Tuffs, added, "During training this week we emphasised the importance of moving the ball quickly against Moneyfields. We remained very mobile from first to last. Now we are all looking forward to next week and the visit of Bromley. Cannot wait for the match." And the Fans said: Hartley v Moaneyfields Post by Mick , 20:46 Suffice to say prior to the match reports that The Row were well disciplined and effective. Some of the away fans appeared to not only be in denial but from anoth- er planet! The Portsmouth based Club got exactly what they deserved from this fixture and could well have had less than 10 players left on the pitch at the end. Looking forward to David and Kevin's report as always. :-)

28 Goalkeepers: 1- David Gregory: Gregory, 22, signed for Bromley after spending a season at Cambridge United in the Sky Bet Football League. His move away from the Abbey Stadium provides a new chapter in his playing career after spending loan time at a number of clubs including Sutton United, Bishop s Stortford and Leyton Orient. Gregory began his career at Crystal Palace where he spent over eleven years with the Eagles in the midst of the already mentioned loan spells. Following his release at Crystal Palace in 2016 he would go on to join up with former Crystal Palace favourite Shaun Derry at Cambridge United. Defenders: 2- Alan Dunne: The vastly experienced Alan Dunne signed for Bromley last January after previously playing for Leyton Orient in Sky Bet League 2. He joined having played over 380 times in a 15-year spell in the first team for Millwall with a further 10 years being spent in the youth set up for the Lions. Dunne not only brings in his playing ability but has also filled the gap that Steve Lovell had left as a first team coach. Dunne made his debut for The Ravens in the 3-1 home win over Southport last season. 3 - Kristian Campbell: Kristian was originally part of the Bromley FC academy but the decision was made to send him out in order play games to help with his development. The club kept an eye on the young defender and he was asked back in at pre-season to join up with the new look squad. Kristian is BROMLEY MILLERICK S PEN MUSIINGS PICS a versatile player and has demonstrated that through pre-season playing at left-back and at centre-back. He signed for Bromley having been at Merstham last season where he featured live on TV and put in a man of the match performance when Oxford United were the visitors at Moatside in the FA Cup. Campbell is currently on a short-term loan with Bognor Regis. 5 - Ben Chorley: With a professional career spanning over 15 years, Ben Chorley is certainly one of the more experienced players within the Bromley ranks. The 33-year old started his career in the Arsenal Youth set up and would win two FA Youth Cups in his time at Arsenal. With fierce competition for places at the Premier League Club, Chorley sought for a move elsewhere and he signed for Wimbledon in Chorley s breakthrough season was the 2003/04 campaign playing regularly for the South-West London club in their final year before relocation. Ben stayed with the club following their move to Milton Keynes and would make 91 appearances before a switch to Tranmere Rovers. A successful move to Leyton Orient followed with Chorley becoming an integral part of the League 1 side. He was made captain in his second season at the club which came along-side a goal scoring run, he would eventually net 9 times for The O s over 159 appearances. Moves to Stevenage and then Portsmouth followed before signing for Bromley back in August 2015.

29 BROMLEY PEN PICS 6 - Jack Holland: The club captain has been an ever present figure in the Bromley team since his move back to the club in Holland started his footballing career at Bromley in the youth section until he was scouted and signed by Crystal Palace. Following a couple of loan spells at Eastbourne, and Farnborough, his next loan move was back to Bromley. In 2013 he signed a permanent deal with the club and has become essential to recent success. In his time at Bromley Jack has played in almost every position you can name. Predominantly being considered as a centre-half, Jack has played at full back and also had a spell up-front two seasons ago which proved to be a huge success with him scoring 6 times. Jack has represented England C on a number of occasions and scored against Slovakia U23 at Gander Green Lane last year. Holland already has two goals to his name this season and continues to be a driving force in a progressing Bromley side. 12 Ben Wynter: Bromley Football Club signed defender Ben Wynter, 19 years old at the time, in June 2017 following his release from Crystal Palace. Wynter played for both Crystal Palace under 18 s and under-21s and signed his first professional contract at Selhurst Park in June 2016 and came on for Palace in a 3-1 friendly win of Spanish side Valencia. The club had been watching Ben for a while when he was at Crystal Palace and there were attempts at signing the defender last season. He can play centre back or at right back, with the aim for him to develop under the guidance of Alan Dunne this season Dan Johnson: DJ made the step-up from Herne Bay two seasons back and signed a new deal at Hayes Lane alongside George Porter in May The central defender moved on loan to Herne Bay from Maidstone before making a permanent switch. He picked up the Players player and supporters player of the season awards in the 2015/16 season at the South Kent side. 16 Tyrone Sterling: The 29-year-old left back joined the Club in May 2017 from Dover Athletic having previously played for both Dartford and Cray Wanderers. Sterling made over 100 appearances at Crabble for Dover and was a mainstay in their team through a three-year period. Tyrone brings a vast amount of experience to the squad and will also act as a mentor for the younger defenders in the side. 19 Roger Johnson: Johnson signed a shortterm deal with the club in October bolstering the defence with a wealth of experience at Premier League and Football League level. Roger has previously played for the likes of Cardiff City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic. Midfielders: 4 - Josh Rees: The 23-year-old midfielder joined Bromley in June 2017 having spent the 2016/17 season at Vanarama National League South play-off finalists Chelmsford City. Josh began his football career at Arsenal before joining Nottingham Forest where he spent time in the National League playing

30 for Nuneaton Town and Torquay United. Rees has already had a storming start to his career at Bromley scoring three times through pre-season, as well has scoring three times already in the National League. 7 Iffy Allen: The 23-year-old winger joined Bromley in May 2017 having finished last season at Wrexham. Allen started his career at the Fulham youth setup before signing a first team contract with Barnet in Loan moves to Kingstonian, Redhill and Wingate & Finchley would come during his time with The Bees. Moves to Yeovil Town, Torquay and Aldershot would come before spending 2017 with Wrexham in North Wales. 8 Frankie Raymond: The midfielder became Neil Smith s ninth summer signing in July 2017 joining from Dagenham & Redbridge. Raymond began his career at Reading in the youth set up and following his release in 2012 went on to sign for Gillingham on a short term basis before joining Eastbourne Borough where he went on to make over sixty appearances for The Sports. In 2014 he was signed by Dagenham & Redbridge for an undisclosed fee and was loaned back to Eastbourne Borough for the remainder of the season. Following his return to The Daggers, Frankie went on to make over forty-eight appearances for the club until his release at the end of the 16/17 season. BROMLEY PEN PICS 11 Adam Mekki: The 25-year-old winger joined Bromley in June 2017 from Tranmere Rovers where he spent two years at Prenton Park. Adam originally came through the youth ranks at Reading and Aldershot Town, signing a professional contract with The Shots in the summer of After leaving Aldershot in 2014, Mekki had spells with Barnet and Dover Athletic. 14 Jordan Higgs: Rising through the Bromley Youth set-up, Jordan Higgs had been on dual registration with The Ravens and Carshalton Athletic. Higgs made over 80 appearances for Carshalton and scored 8 goals in his last season at the club. At the end of season awards Jordan picked up three awards including Managers Player of the Season. Higgs made a massive step-up last season becoming one of the first names on the teamsheet and would go on to impress game after game. He also popped up with a few goals through the season, including a stunner against Eastleigh towards the back end of the season. At last season s awards Higgs cleaned up winning the Young Player and Player s Player of the Year awards after what was a hugely impressive season for the young midfielder.

31 BROMLEY PEN PICS 17 Luke Wanadio: The 24-year-old attacking winger joined the Club in May 2017 having spent last season at Dartford in the Vanarama National South. Wanadio rejected a new deal at Princes Park with an ambition to play in the National League. The winger has had previous spells at Tooting & Mitcham, Dulwich Hamlet, Staines Town and Welling United before moving to Dartford in Aidan Enver: The academy midfielder has become a recognisable name during pre -season thanks to some standout performances. Enver travelled with the squad on a number of occasions last season and got his break when he featured against Gateshead in the last away fixture of the 2016/17 season. Enver assisted Louis Dennis for his second of the match in a 2-0 win. Strikers: 9 Brett Williams: The 29-year-old striker joined in June 2017 having spent the previous season at Vanarama National League side Torquay United where his eleven goals helped the Plainmoor side steer clear of the drop zone. Williams most prolific spell came during his two years at Aldershot Town where the striker scored almost forty goals for the Shots before joining League Two side Stevenage. The striker then spent time on loan at Forest Green Rovers and scored the winning goal in the play-off semi-final first leg away win at Dover Athletic. He went on to start the play-off final in May 2016 against Grimsby Town at Wembley Stadium. 10 Louis Dennis: Rapid, skilful and an eye for goal just some of the ways you can describe Louis Dennis. Starting off at Dagenham & Redbridge, Dennis made loan moves to Bedfont, Welling United, Grays Athletic, Canvey Island and then Hayes & Yeading before former manager Mark Goldberg snapped up the young winger. Singing in Feburary of 2014, Dennis scored on his debut in a 3-2 defeat at Dorchester Town. Since then he has become a hugely important part of the squad and terrorised defences in the National League. Neil Smith has given Dennis a new role seeing him play in the number 10 position. A hugely impressive pre-season has given everyone the confidence that he can go on and have a fantastic year. 18 George Porter: Porter started his career off at Cray Wanderers gaining a first team call up after impressing in the youth sides. A strong run of form interested Leyton Orient who came in for the forward in A loan move to Lewes followed before a return to the first team at Brisbane Road. Porter would score in his FA Cup debut against Bromley in their 3-0 win over The Ravens in the First Round of the competition. Porters impressive performances gained interest from clubs higher up the leagues and George signed for Burnley in The move was dampened with Porter picking up an injury at the start of the season. Halfway through the season he went on

39 RESULTS SUBURBAN LEAGUE

40 THINK Magic of the Cup for Non-League clubs and it s the FA Cup which naturally springs to mind. And why wouldn t it? That once-in-alifetime opportunity for part-time clubs to pit their wits against professional outfits in front of big crowds and on the big stage. It s what clubs at our level live for. Sadly, this year s FA Cup campaign proved something of a damp squib for Non-League clubs this year (Hereford, Woking and AFC Fylde aside), so with the Premier League big spenders left to battle it out for honours, our attentions can now turn to another proud national competition with equal prestige at stake. This week, Step 4 minnows Hartley Wintney, Haringey Borough and Workington are preparing for, arguably, the biggest matches in their history when they play host to full-time National League outfits in the FA Trophy first round proper - just FOUR games away from gracing the biggest stage of them all at Wembley Stadium. Similar in many respects to its most lucrative bigger brother, the FA Trophy has, for me, been in danger of losing a bit of prestige in the last years. Statistics show that with five rounds to play on a Saturday and a two-legged semi-final to play before the final, the Trophy has often played second fiddle for the Conference big guns who have their eyes firmly fixed on the main prize of a place in the Football League. This, coupled with the fact that many clubs don t include home FA Trophy ties as part of their season ticket package, has a drastic effect on attendance figures and therefore loses the competition credence when it comes to the business end of the season with crucial league places up for grabs. Thankfully, however, those days are slowly coming to an end and clubs are beginning to take the FA Trophy seriously again. Just ask Hartley Wintney, Haringey Borough and Workington, who will be staging their own Wembley final next Saturday with the respective visits of Bromley, Leyton Orient and Hartlepool United to their humble abodes. These three clubs - plus the other 61 in the hat for the first round next Saturday (16) - need only look back to May 21, 2017 when fans of York City and Macclesfield Town joined those of FA Vase finalists South Shields and Cleethorpes Town in a memorable Non-League Finals Day showcase under the arc, watched by a crowd of over 38,000. For them, that s the magic of the cup, regardless of what competition it s in.
