Latest Non League News Round-Up For Monday 18th August 2008 RESULTS ROUND UP ON NEWS PAGE A Full round up of games played on Saturday 16th August can be found on our news-page while a Match Report from Cogenhoe United's FA Cup game with Northampton Spencer can be found on a Match Reports page. FORMER COBBLER MANN MAKING A PLAYING COMEBACK AT NEWPORT PAGNELL Ex Long Buckby and Woodford United manager and former Northampton Town midfielder maestro Aidy Mann is set to make an astonishing playing comeback with Eagle Bitter United Counties League Premier Division league club Newport Pagnell Town at the right old age of 41. The midfield dynamo who made over 100 appearances for the Cobblers in his earlier days, has already participated in several pre-season friendlies, including an Arsenal verses Tottenham charity match. His son Jordi who is a talented youngster is on the books with Blue Square side Rushden & Diamonds and Mann has been helping out with the training until coaxed to make a late-in-life football playing return by the Buckinghamshire side “I’ve told Newport Pagnell Boss Terry Shrieves, I’ll most likely need one week on followed by three weeks off,” he said. Mann was in command at Long Buckby during the gloomy days when the Northampton club strove to hold onto its Premier Division standing but was fired and replaced in questionable circumstances by Glenn Botterill his then number two at the time. Botterill and chairman Guy Loveland have since gone on to take the Long Buckby into the runners-up spot in the UCL behind last season champions Stotfold, even so Mann's who is said to have been under a contract still has his claim to be financially settled by Long Buckby FC.At Newport Pagnell, Mann has been accompanied by experienced striker Darren Lynch, who accomplished nine goals as Long Buckby pushed for the UCL title in the last three months of the season. The ex-Kettering Town and Bedford Town sharpshooter was then dismissed-off somewhat harsh circumstances for a tackle on Cogenhoe United`s Nick Ashby at the end of February in a 2-1 away defeat at Compton Park which all but finished Buckby's championship ambitions. By the end of the campaign contention for places up front in the Long Buckby starting line-up had become fiercer as the UCL’s joint top goal-scorer Ben Foster had been joined not only by Carl Holmes but also by former Woodford United marksman Russell Dunkley. Foster and Holmes participated in nearly 60 goals last season between them and with the Jamie Gilsenan also on the pay roll this time around at Station Road, Mann added “I wouldn’t be surprised to see my former club win the Championshire title race for the first time this season.” Mann expects his new side Newport Pagnell Town finish in the middle of the table, although he does not anticipate Stotfold repeating last seasons championship winning success. Mann said “I’m told the Eagles have lost a lot of players and rumour also has it that St Neots Town will have a very young side, despite moving to an outstanding new stadium.” WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR FACILITIES SAYS BUCKINGHAM TOWN CHAIRMAN AS CLUB CELEBRATES 125th ANNIVERSARY Chairman of Eagle Bitter United Counties League club Buckingham Town's Tony Rosenburg has voiced his opinions about the clubs forthcoming 125th birthday commemorations this October and the Club's continuing need for improved facilities. In a communication to club supporters, Rosenberg said: "As we enter the 2008/09 football season all our managers and their teams will be aiming to bring footballing pride and possibly even some silverware to Buckingham Town Last season saw the encouraging sight of the advancement of some of our youth players into first-team football and the resurgence of a reserve team, also ably supported by Town's youth players. This, along with our more established and experienced senior players, all goes well for the coming season. This year we celebrate our 125th anniversary, and we hope to publish a special section in local press later in the year, so we look forward to our local sponsors and the local community joining with us in marking this occasion It is no secret that in order for football in Buckingham to develop improved facilities are desperately needed, whether at Ford Meadow or somewhere else nearby The chairman and committee of the club will continue to explore all avenues to achieve the aim of securing the long term future and viability of Buckingham Town Football Club and The Ford Meadow Club. BRAKES ADD NEW GOALKEEPER TOO RANKS. Southern League Midlands one Club Leamington has confirmed that experienced goalkeeper Richard Anstiss has signed for British Gas Business Southern League Division One Midlands club as cover for first choice shot stopper Richard Morris. Anstiss has gained Blue Square North experience with Redditch United, in addition his footballing CV incorporates spells at Evesham United, Bromsgrove Rovers and Rugby Town along with local neghobour Rcaing Club Warwick, Anstiss also has European football experience, having played for Principality Welsh Premier Division side Aberystwyth Town in the Intertoto Cup. SPHINX FORM ALLIANCE WITH SKY BLUES TO PROMOTE COVENTRY FOOTBALL During the summertime Coventry Sphinx and Coca Cola Championship Coventry City have come together and formed a relationship with the aim of promoting football in the City of Coventry from a football league level to grass roots level. Coventry City FC said it was delighted to announce that they are forging an association with the city's highest ranked non-league football club, Coventry Sphinx Football Club. Sky Blues director Joe Elliott and newly appointed Sphinx chairman Neil Long met over the summer to consider ways in which the two clubs could work together to ensure football in the Coventry area, gets to the very top at both levels within the national and non league game. Non-league football is fundamental to the progress of clubs as many of the players who make it in the professional game today have come through the ranks of non league clubs, the Sky Blues very own Robbie Simpson is just one Player who has entered the professional platform via this route. The Midland Alliance club was promoted to Step Five in the national league pyramid system in May 2007, having won the Midlands Combination Football League and last season flew the banner for the City of Coventry to reach the quarter finals of the FA Vase, only losing out to the subsequent Wembley winners Kirkham & Wesham in a replay at Sphinx's headquarters on Sphinx Drive. The Coventry City football club assisted Sphinx with the printing of tickets for the FA Vase replay. Many Sky Blues fans followed the Sphinx to Essex based Stanway Rovers in the fifth round and to Lancashire side Kirkham & Wesham where Sky Blue shirts and scarves were evident to the Sphinx players and management as they walked out at both away games. The Sky Blues song even echoed around Stanway Rovers' Hawthorns ground following a marvellous 3-1 away victory, although a few tweaks to the original words were needed. As the ninth biggest City in the country, Coventry is large enough to support two successful football clubs and this season will see the Midland Football Alliance alternate the Sphinx home games with City at the Ricoh Arena. New Sphinx chairman and lifelong Coventry City fan Neil Long are delighted with the co-operation.” With each of the 350-plus people connected to the club being keen supporters of the Sky Blues, to work so closely together will prove to be very beneficial to both clubs, "We get comments from many people saying that if home games didn't clash they would love to support both teams so this will allow them to watch non league football as well as supporting the City at the Ricoh Arena” Sky Blues director Elliott is equally excited by the two clubs formation of a new relationship. “It is in everybody's interests to work together and with a friendly fixture arrange to mark our new link-up with Sphinx, it would be nice to think that plenty of our fans will get behind them whenever possible this season. “To launch the new association Sky Blues Manager Chris Coleman will be taking a team to Sphinx Drive in early September to play in a friendly game. More details will be announced by the two clubs at a later date. Sphinx open their home campaign on Saturday, August 16 when they entertain Barwell in the Extra Preliminary Round of the E.ON sponsored FA Cup.

Atherstone Town won the Midlands Alliance curtain raiser the Joe McGorian Cup Final after high drama which saw the match end in a 4-4 stalemate, overtime could not separate the two sides and the dreaded penalty shoot–out was called upon., however Controversy will rage out about Atherstone’s debatable equaliser which some felt, was clearly off-side in the final minute of extra-time, Shifnal took the lead after 21 minutes when Neil Barnfield won the ball in the middle of the park and threaded it through for Danny Dubidat, who slotted it past Adders goalkeeper Dale Belford from 15 yards out. That goal signed a wake up call too d the Adders, and they started to look dangerous. Atherstone Town levelled after the visitors failed to clear a corner on 35 minutes which ended with Jake Woolaston prodding the loose ball home past Shifnal Town goalkeeper Tim Beech. Atherstone Town took the lead for the only time in the game Three minutes into the second half, when Shifnal shot stopper Beech only half-stopped Luke Keen's powerful drive from 20 yards out, and Dave Andrewartha was unable to stop the ball from crossing the goal-line. Shifnal equalised on the hour mark when a cross From the left was half-cleared to Neil Barnfield who from the edge of the ‘D' calmly stroked the ball home into the bottom corner of the net. A through ball was played for Matt Hall on 67 minutes, and although his first shot was parried by Belford, he was able to place the rebound into an empty net. The lead lasted just six minutes, as Ben Jevons was adjudged to have handled a cross inside the penalty area, and Kyle Storer netted from the spot. No further goals sent the Final into extra time. Two minutes into extra time, Shifnal took the lead for the third time in the game as Gavin Davies laid the ball off for Hall, whose angled drive from 25 yards flew into the top corner of the net. Davies and Hall each had chances to extend the lead, whilst at the other end, Beech made a spectacular diving save to deny Ashley Wells. Then in the 120th minute, Woolaston's mis-hit ball found Storer on the edge of the 6-yard area, and as everyone in the ground – both on and off the field, looked to the assistant for an offside flag, the midfielder almost apologetically placed the ball home. The final whistle blew as the teams kicked off once more. Furthermore, as the game went to penalties. Two-goal hero Matt Hall turned villain as he missed the first kick to be taken, placing it too close to Belford, who made the save. The next nine spot-kicks were successfully converted, and so Atherstone Town clinched victory and with-it the Joe McGorian Cup on a afternoon of high excitement and drama at Sheepy Road.

GX (SOUTHERN LEAGUE) CUP FIRST ROUND DRAW The Full Draw appears in the last section of this page. FORMER MANAGER PERRY RETURNS TOO DAVENTRY TOWN One time Daventry Town manager Tony Perry is to reunited with the Eagle Bitter United Counties League Premier Division club Daventry Town in a brand new role as director of football at Communications Park. Perry was one of a small group of devotees who kept the Town name buoyant throughout the gloomy days a few years ago when a £5,000 yearly rental demand from Daventry District Council threatened to put the club out of exsistance. Mobile phone baron Iain Humphrey later came along in the nick of time to salvage Daventry Town from extinction. The rest, as they say, is now history. The Town streaked away with the UCL Division One title and reached a UCL Knockout Cup final against Desborough Town under Perry's successor Martyn Walker. Master-of-all-trades Perry then moved on after acting as Daventry Town's manager, general manager, treasurer, secretary, barman and programme editor at various times. The former Daventry Town and Ford Sports' full back, he also had brief spells as a backroom boy at two Woodford United and Ford Sports but said "He was glad to be back and feeling rejuvenated by a year off,When I left the Town new chairman Iain Humphrey said there would always be a post available for me if I wanted to return. Iain has been true to his word, and I am ready to come back at such an exciting stage in the club's 123-year history." said the returning Perry STAPENHILL FC LOSE LEAGUE SURVIVAL BID Stapenhill Football Club has lost their battle for league survival, Following a disastrous fire and vandalism at the clubs Edge Hill Headquarters, the Swans have formally resigned from the Midland Alliance Football League. Officials had hoped to keep the club in business while reconstructing work took place, but Midlands Alliance officials have given temporary measures the thumbs down. With no practical ground-sharing arrangements in the prospect, head of football Ian Gough announced the Swans had quit the league and Football Association competitions for the next season - but vowed to the fact the 60-year-old club will rise phoenix-like from the ashes. A Stapenhill FC club statement said: "Following a visit and inspection by four Midland Football Alliance officials, it was concluded that the facilities at Edge Hill are currently not acceptable and are unlikely to be so by the start of the new season. “The only option was to ground-share with another club with suitable facilities, but that has not proven possible, especially in the current economic climate. It is with regret that we have had to tender our resignation from the MFA with immediate effect. “A devastating fire ripped through the Edge Hill social club in April and further havoc was imposed by Vandals who trashed the dressing room area in June. Even though work to renovate the location has now started, The clubs Edge Hill ground still parallels a building site and would fall well short of meeting the Alliance league's ground grading criteria when the season kicks off on August the 9th.Gough, a former Stapenhill player and manager, said he was "very disappointed" with the MFA ruling, but acknowledged it was inevitable. He revealed: "This is a very disappointing day, especially for those players who have been with us for the last six years. We are all gutted. Even so, Stapenhill Football Club will not disappear from the map and hopefully will reform in the near future. The football committee will stay in place, and we will use the coming season to. raise funds to provide a sound base for the rebirth of the club. “He added the first of those events would be a sportsman's evening at Belvedere Park in Burton in September 2008. A spokesman for the Midlands Alliance confirmed the League “Had reluctantly accepted on Monday evening the resignation of Stapenhill Football Club” DERBY CALLS FOR BROMSGROVE FANS TO BACK HIS SIDE Former Torquay United Professional Duane Darby, manager of British Gas Business Southern League Division One Midlands club Bromsgrove Rovers, has called on fans to resolve their disagreements with Club chairman Tom Herbert and get behind the side this season. Darby is only too conscious of a rift among a segment of the supporters and Chairman Tom Herbert. As a consequence, a consortium is seeking to gain a fans' buyout of the club from the chairman. As a result the consortium has called upon followers to stay away from the club's pre-season home games until Chairman Herbert vows to meet with them. Darby claimed: “The supporters can play a big part at Bromsgrove. I just hope matters can be resolved and that everyone gets behind us. “Everybody has to stick together if Bromsgrove are to get back to the Southern Premier Division next season, because it won't be easy. “There are some very good sides with Nuneaton Borough, Leamington and Chasetown all big-hitters. “However, promotion remains our objective, that’s the only word on people's lips and, to be honest, nothing else will do.'' Darby has added former Blues goalkeeper James Dormand and Halesown Town defender. Dennis Pearce, Stratford Town midfield dynamo Tom Brady and left-sided player Dean Craven, who was recently with Chasetown He has also seized former Kidderminster Harriers striker Luke Reynolds who spent last season’s campaign at AFC Telford United. Darby has also engaged the services of former Birmingham City players Matthew Birley and Sam Alsop, together with Gary Knight, Chris Duggan, Keenan Richards, Lee Downing, Chris Cornes and Chris McHale. However, his biggest triumph would be if he could persuade former Torquay United Apprentice and Jamaican international Paul Hall to sign, Hall who turned 36 years old just a few weeks ago lists Portsmouth, Coventry, Walsall, Tranmere and Chesterfield his former employers but was released after a second spell with Walsall and played for Rovers in the clubs recent 1-1 draw at Cradley Town.

DCS Charity Football Match Raises Over £5000 In Aid of Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund DCS Europe plc News Release Report/Image Use Courtesy Of Denys Shortt/DCS Europe DCS Charity Football Match raises over £5000 in aid of Warwickshire Firefighters Families Fund.A football match was held yesterday in Stratford-upon-Avon in memory of the four firefighters killed in the Atherstone warehouse fire. Staff at DCS Europe plc arranged the match after their workmate John Averis, a forklift driver and retained firefighter, tragically died in the fire on November 2nd. John's nickname at work was "Amos" and he was also a fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers. His workmates at DCS not only organised the match but also managed to get Wolves to donate a signed team shirt with the name "Amos"printed on it. In what was an emotional moment before the start of the match Denys Shortt, CEO of DCS Europe, presented the shirt to John Averis' mother and father. This was then followed by a minutes silence for the four firefighters. All the firefighters families attended the match as spectators as well as two brothers of the firefighters playing for the DCS team. The game was rather one-sided with a 15-1 victory to the Ex-Pro's team with David Kelly slotting 10 goals. However the highlight of the match was a stunning goal for DCS scored by Paul Averis - John's brother. Sean Stephens brother of Ashley played the second half. Denys Shortt, CEO of DCS also played the second half and commented "The score does not matter. Today was our send off for John and in memory of all those brave firefighters". An auction after the match raised £2700 and gate fees and raffle tickets has taken the day's total to over £5000. This brings the total that DCS Europe has raised in just four weeks to an amazing £15,000. Stars playing in the match included David Busst, Des Bremner and a superb performance from Richard Sneekes of West Brom, Bolton, Ajax and Holland fame. Cyrille Regis could not play due to a knee injury but wandered in amongst the crowd signing autographs and meeting local firemen and the firefighters families. Dion Dublin very kindly helped run the auction and managed to raise a stunning £1000 just from auctioning two of his Celtic shirts. All in all a great event thanks to some football stars giving up their time and for a very worthwhile cause and a huge effort by the staff at DCS Europe plc.
