4 We would like to welcome our near neighbours from North Greenford United to Honeycroft for this evenings Middlesex County FA Senior Challenge Cup match. Tonight s match will be the sixteenth meeting between the two teams but the first time we have met in the Senior Cup, our record to date shows nine wins, four draws and two losses with our biggest win being 3-6 at Berkley Fields in the 2014 Southern Football League, our scorers that day were Smith (2), Tomkins (2), Woods and Hubbard with Vincent, O Connor and Walker replying for The Blues. The Red Army has played in this competition on 291 previous occasions with our largest crowd being 6000 in the 1954/55 Final where we lost 0-4 to Southall. We have made the final on no less than thirteen times winning the trophy three times. Over the years we have played The Blues 15 times in all competitions winning nine, drawing four and losing just twice. This will be the first time we have met North Greenford in this competition. Our biggest win came back in 2014 at Berkeley Fields when we won 3-6 with goals from Smith (2), Tomkins (2), Woods and Hubbard, our biggest loss was a 1-3 defeat at Honeycroft in 2011 in the Southern Football League. North Greenford currently lay 16th in the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division, sixteen points behind the current front-runners Westfield, last Saturday they entertained Guildford City beating them 3-1 with Brian Testolin scoring a hat-trick. The winners of this tie will be away to Hanwell Town in the next Round with the match scheduled for Early November.

6 The club was founded in September 1944 by the late Mr A.M.Timpson as a youth team. The following season saw the foundation of the Ealing Youth League and in May 1946, the club were crowned as the league s first champions. The following season saw the formation of a senior side and the club entered the Hanwell and District League. In 1947/48 the club entered the Harrow Wembley League and in 1954/55 became champions of the Senior Division. In 1974 County Honours were achieved after winning the Middlesex Intermediate Cup. In 1982/83 the club won the Middlesex League and in May 1983 promotion was gained to the Spartan League was a mixed year for the club with the death of the founder Alf Timpson tempered by the granting of Senior status by the Middlesex County Football Association. The club achieved promotion to the Premier Division of the Spartan League in 1988/89. The 1994/95 season saw the club resign from the Spartan League to rejoin the Premier Division of the Middlesex Football League. In 1996 John Bignell and John Bivens Senior were honoured by the Football Association when they were presented with the FA's prestigious 50 Years' Service Award. The club was keen to regain Senior status and undertook a long-term project to achieve this. Ground improvements were made which included the installation of floodlights at Berkeley Fields, and in 2002 Senior Status was regained. The year 2002 was also memorable as the club were elected to the Combined Counties League to round off the achievements made by all concerned at the club. In season 2003/04 the First Team, managed by Steve Hawkins, were runners up in the Premier Challenge Cup losing 4-1 to AFC Wimbledon in front of a crowd of over 5,000 at Woking FC. In season 2004/05 the club finished runners up in the Premier League. Season 2005/06 saw North Greenford finish 13 th in the Premier League and reach the semi-final of the League Cup. The following season 2006/07 saw the First Team, now managed by Mick Harvey, go one round better in the League Cup but the team lost to Merstham 4-1 in the final. With Steve Ringrose taking over the Manager s job with days to go before the beginning of season 2008/09 no one thought that a second place in the Premier League was achievable, but that s exactly what happened and North Greenford finished Runners-up to Bedfont Green. Season 2009/10 proved to

7 to be the most successful in the club s history when the First Team became Combined Counties Champions earning promotion to the newly-formed Southern Football League Division One Central. The double was achieved when the club defeated Enfield Town in the club s first ever Senior Cup Final, winning the MFA Charity Cup 1-0 at Hampton & Richmond s ground in front of a large crowd. Season 2010/11 proved another successful year for the club at all levels. Despite having a difficult first season at the higher level the team succeeded in retaining North Greenford s status as a Step 4 club, eventually finishing 18 th. The Reserves finished Runners-up in the Suburban Northern League to gain promotion to the Premier Division and the Under 18s took Runners-up spot in the Allied Counties Eastern Division. The Third Team the Socials finished as Champions of the London Commercial League Division 2, and the Vets won the MCFA Veterans Cup. Despite notable successes in both the FA and Red Insure Cup, the first half of season 2011/12 saw the club struggling in the league. Steve Ringrose was replaced by Neil Shipperley as First Team manager in December Shipps managed to successfully steer the side away from the threat of relegation, doubling the points tally in the second half of the season and coming within one point of achieving the club s original 50 point target. Experiencing an even more difficult time during the first half of season 2012/13, Neil Shipperley was re-appointed for a second term replacing Jon-Barrie Bates as First Team Manager at the beginning of October. However, despite a promising 1-1 draw at Godalming Town, results continued not to go our way and, having lost 14 league matches on the trot, we sat second from bottom on four points, our only consolation being that Woodford United had still failed to notch up a single point. We finally achieved a much needed win at Thatcham on a freezing cold day in mid-february, followed by an impressive 4-1 home victory against Chertsey Town. A draw at Northwood on Easter Monday heralded the start of what was to prove an incredible April turnaround. The countless postponements that had resulted from the atrocious weather conditions meant we still had another 11 league games to play over a quarter of our total fixtures in the final month of the season. An absolutely amazing end-of-season run saw the team amass a remarkable 22 points to take the club above Leighton and Chertsey Town to

8 finish in nineteenth place, an achievement that hardly seemed possible at the end of March. We were hoping to continue where we left off at the start of the following season s campaign but, after excellent runs in both cup competitions, we struggled in the league and narrowly escaped the drop after crucial wins against our two fellow relegation contenders, Chertsey and Ashford Town (Middx). After Neil Shipperley resigned as First Team Manager midway through the 2013/14 season, along with Assistant Manager Matt Penfold, Reserve Team Manager Paul Palmer was appointed to the First Team post, supported by Don Bennett as Assistant Manager and Bren Briggs (Physio). The decision to retain their services for the forthcoming campaign was confirmed following a committee meeting held in early May However, following an indifferent start to the 2014/15 campaign it was agreed, in the best interests of the club, to part company with Paul. Don Bennett was initially asked to take over in a caretaking capacity and later was offered and accepted the permanent position. Results, however, did not go his way and in December 2014 Don tendered his resignation along with assistant Steve Scott and physio Bren Briggs. Reserve Manager Barry Morris took on the role in a caretaking capacity assisted by coaches George Bouhet and Fitzroy McLeod. After an initial struggle, as Barry Morris and his management team re-built the first team squad virtually from scratch, the club saw another impressive end-ofseason run that came close to matching that of the 2012/13 campaign. 21 points were amassed in the final 14 games with the club finishing on 35 points, 11 better than the previous year, four points clear of bottom club AFC Hayes and just five behind third from bottom Beaconsfield SYCOB, and the club were granted a reprieve by the FA. The run and ambitious plans of Barry and his team convinced a majority of the committee to re-appoint them on a permanent basis for the forthcoming campaign. However, on Saturday 19 th September 2015 Barry tendered his resignation due to work commitments, and his assistant George Bouhet was offered and accepted the position of First Team Manager in an acting capacity.

9 Unfortunately, after poor results left the club firmly rooted at the bottom of the Central Division table, it was agreed to part company with George and his team at the beginning of November The committee appointed two ex- Greenford players Ricky Pither and Danny Bennell as joint First Team managers. Ricky and Danny were supported on the coaching front by Mark Chandler and another ex-blue Chris Mills. Despite some promising performances, however, results did not improve. Four wins and six draws were not enough to secure the points needed to avoid the drop and, on this occasion, a strong end-of-season run could not be achieved and the team ended their campaign well adrift at the foot of the table. There was to be no chance of a reprieve with relegation a virtual certainty. When this was confirmed we expected to be moved to either the Spartan South Midlands or Combined Counties League, It therefore came as a massive shock when the FA announced its decision to place the club in the Hellenic League. Given the serious implications of such a move, both in terms of travel costs and arrangements, and player recruitment and retention, the Committee decided to mount a formal appeal against this decision. An excellent case was prepared and presented to the FA Appeals Committee by John, Barbara and vice-chair Richard Rooney. They stood firm and persisted in arguing the club s case with determination and resolve. Eventually the appeal was upheld and we were offered a place in the Combined Counties Premier Division, even though for one season the league would have to run with 23 clubs. Given their wide knowledge of local clubs and players, Ricky and Danny s team were invited to continue in their roles with Mark Chandler taking over as joint manager following Danny s resignation. Unfortunately, due to poor league results which left the club languishing at the foot of the CCL Premier Division table, the NGU committee reluctantly decided to part company with Ricky and Mark at the beginning of October The experienced management team of Danny Vincent and Colin Murphy were offered and accepted the position, and were duly appointed in time to take charge of the Chertsey Town home game on 11 th October. After the poor start the club eventually finished the 2016/17 season in a creditable 13 th position on 58 points, and with Danny and Colin still in charge, assisted by Terry Schofield who has joined the First XI management team, we are looking for a higher finish this term.

19 Newly-promoted Moneyfields moved two points clear at the top of the Evo-Stik League South, East table on Saturday after they inflicted a 5-2 drubbing on visiting Aylesbury FC, while fellow newcomers Hartley Wintney were being held at home by improving Chalfont St Peter The Moneys are certainly carrying on the momentum of winning the Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) title, although it wasn`t until late on that they managed to kill off the Moles on their firstever visit to the Moneyfields Sports Ground. Dan Wooden gave the home side the boost of an early 5th minute lead. However, the Moles equalised on 16 minutes through Ben Stevens and then lead immediately after the break through Jeanmal Prosper, Steve Hutchings levelled on 68 minutes and then Moneys clicked into gear, taking a 79th minute lead through Ryan Pennery, adding a fourth on 85 minutes with Wooden`s second and then making it a nap hand in the 88th minute with a goal from Marley Ridge. Hartley Wintney led at home against Chalfont courtesy of a 9th minute Dean Stow penalty but the Saints earned a late point, thanks to Rob Hastings in the 88th minute. AFC Dunstable are third after Jermaine Hall`s 23rd minute effort eventually proved enough at Honeycroft against Uxbridge. Ashford Town (Middx) are fourth and they were comfortable 4-0 winners at home against Hayes & Yeading United. Jack Beadle bagged a brace in the 4th and 25th minutes and then Max Webb matched him with goals in the 57th and then 3 minutes into stoppage time. Kempston Rovers moved above Beaconsfield Town into fifth after winning 4-2 at Holloways Park. Nathan Tshikuna gave Rovers the boost of an early 2nd minute lead but Town`s Aaron Minhas turned that round with goals in the 12th and 20th minutes. Just past the hour-mark, Tshikuna added a second to pull the Walnut Boys level and Jake Newman put them in front 7 minutes later, with Luke Heneghan adding a fourth in the 84th minute. AFC Rushden & Diamonds lost more ground after being held to a goalless draw in front of 441 at Hayden Road, and Cambridge City slipped above them into seventh after winning 4-2 at St Ives against Thame United. The visitors led through top scorer Dan West after 11 minutes, but Jordan Gent in the 19th and Ryan Sharman in the 23rd minute put City in front, West and Ross Paterson swapped goals right on half-time to see City go in 3-2 up, with Lewis Wilson adding a fourth on 66 minutes. Fleet Town are bottom after they were beaten 2-0 at fellow strugglers Hanwell Town. Goals in the final 13 minutes from Ruddock Yala and Callum Wright sealed Hanwell`s win. Arlesey Town sandwich those two after they lost 1-0 at Aylesbury United, whose Oliver Hogg scored in the 54th minute. Bedford Town and Northwood shared a goalless draw at the New Eyrie, while Marlow came from 2-0 down to salvage a home draw against Barton Rovers, Charlie Payne after 66 minutes and a Calam Gallimore own goal 4 minutes later broke the deadlock for Rovers but Kameron English after 79 minutes and then Marcus Mealing in the 87th minutes earned the hosts a battling point.

23 The Reserves were not in league action last weekend; instead they started their campaign in the Michael Bidmead Suburban League Challenge Cup with a 2-5 away victory at Knaphill FC. The match could not have been better for striker Adam Mohammed who netted four times for the side. Uxbridge have been drawn at home to the winners of Corinthians or Westfield in the Third Round. Dennis and his team are now on a six match unbeaten streak scoring 18 goals and conceding just four. Next weekend will be another test for the side at Honeycroft against Corinthians who inflicted our biggest loss of the season so far 0-3 when we travelled to Kent back in August, the team will be looking to overturn this defeat and continue their winning ways.

24 Our Youth team have had, like many of their competitors in the Allied Counties Youth League, a slow start to their league campaign. Steve and his newly crafted side are at the start of their three year cycle with most of the players being 16 years old, they have found in a number of matches they have played lads in their second and third year of the cycle, many of whom are at academies. The side started their campaign this year with a win away at Wealdstone in the FA Youth Cup; they then travelled to Maidenhead United in the league where they lost their first match of the year. They then travelled to Hemel Hempstead in the FA Youth cup where an own goal and a late strike from The Tudors dumped us out of the competition this year. Two weeks ago we visited North Greenford United in the league winning 0-5 with goals from Augustine Gayle (2), O Sullivan, Fernades and Byrne. Last week they entertained a strong Edgware Town side in the MCFA Senior Youth Cup, with the match even at half time Edgware strode away during the second half to win the match 2-6. The team is still building and we wish them all the success for the rest of the season.
