NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
ACCEPTS CHILDREN ON THE NHS
“Last season was our best season for about eight years and
we finished 4th in the Spartan South Midlands League and
reached the Quarter Final of the FA Vase. We were hoping for
further improvement this season but Manager Scott Reynolds
resigned in the close season and six of our first team squad
moved en mass to another local Club.
“This season our new Manager resigned after a couple of
months and once again we are in the process of rebuilding and
we are lower mid table at present although results have picked
up lately and we are hoping to end the season in a reasonably
high position but we are in a competitive League and nothing
can or will be taken for granted.
“Due to financial problems a few seasons ago we stopped
running an Under 18 Team and a Reserve team and this
caused its own problems on the football side. We have run a
Development Team for the last two seasons and a few of the
younger players have gained some experience in the first team
this season and this should stand them in good stead next
season. We consider ourselves to be a Community Club but
would like to have better links with local youth football to
enable us to progress on/off the pitch.
“We as a Club would like to play at least one Division
Higher in the (Evo-Stik Southern League) but with new FA
regulations on dressing room sizes a lot of changes would
be required and this could present a significant target. The
other major challenge is to win the League as only one club is
promoted from our League at the current time.
“One of the other Challenges that we face is that we are
in an area where eight of the teams around us are already in
the Southern League and ambitious players will always find
these Step 4 Clubs a more attractive proposition. It is also very
difficult these days for players to leave work early to travel to
long distance away games in midweek and this is reflected in
the results of some midweek matches. We are always looking
at ways of improving our income but if we want to attain a
higher League status the costs continue to increase with extra
travel and ground improvements.”
