INTRODUCTION BY THE CHAIRMAN 5 INTRODUCTION BY THE CHAIRMAN I am very pleased to welcome you to The Football Association Handbook, the essential guide to the rules and regulations of football. The Handbook has been published every year since 1895, excluding the war years, and should again prove an invaluable companion to people involved in football at all levels. The FA has the privilege and responsibility to oversee football in England as a whole and in all its aspects. We do so in partnership with a powerful professional game – and a national game administered locally by dedicated people and played in facilities all over the country. We are grateful for the privilege and determined to meet in full the responsibility. Football is ‘one game’ and we approach it with one set of values. Football has rules to protect those who take part in it and I hope that every recipient of the 2011-2012 Handbook, whatever his or her involvement in the game, will fi nd it a helpful reference book during the season.

    CentreSpot The official news bulletin of the Essex Senior Football League Season 2016/17 Issue #28 – Sunday 19th February 2017 Barking get better of Sporting Bengal Barking score one of their five goals against Sporting Bengal (pic Terry Gilbert) Sporting Bengal 3 Barking 5 Barking moved eight points clear of Clapton at the top of the Essex Senior League table with success over an improving Sporting Bengal side at Mile End Stadium. Blues had won 1-0 when the two sides met in the league cup in December and earned a 3-0 win over Imrul Gazi’s men in a Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy tie last month, but joint boss Glen Golby expected a tough test in east London. And the leaders certainly got that as Sporting made them work for the points in an eight-goal thriller. Codey Cameron netted his sixth goal in five games for the hosts, with an angled drive across Rob Hatton, and new recruit Steve Carvell made it two goals in two games, while young Oscar Almeida Mendes was also on target once again. But the prolific James Peagram scored twice in reply for Barking, taking his tally for the season to 41 and his career haul to 68, which leaves him on the brink of the club’s all-time top 10 scoring list. Petrit Elbi netted his 17th hoal of the campaign, while Joe Pearman claimed his 14th and Paul Oshin was also on target as free-scoring Barking brought up their 100th goal in 31 league fixtures this season. But Barking now face a 10-day break before they return to Mayesbrook Park on Tuesday February 28 to host fourth-placed FC Romania, who ran out 3-0 winners over London Bari at the Old Spotted Dog.

  • AFC Dunstable
    3.00PM KICKOFF TERENCE MCMILLAN STADIUM 281 PRINCE REGENT LANE, PLAISTOW E13 8SD TICKETS: £7.50 ADULTS | £4.00 CONCESSIONS UNDER 18s FREE MATCH DAY PROGRAMME This season marks the 150th anniversary of the FA Cup and Clapton Football Club’s 126th appearance, having first taken part 6 years after Wanders FC won the first ever title way back in 1872. The Tons kick off the 2021-22 challenge with a 1-0 win against ESL club challengers, Hoddesdon Town FC, in the Extra Preliminary Round. Today we play AFC Dunstable CO WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL CLAPTON FOOTBALL CLUB OFFICIAL HOME OF THE “TONS” Good afternoon and welcome to The Terence McMillan Stadium for our FA Cup Preliminary Qualifying Round match against AFC Dunstable. We extend a warm welcome to their players, officials and supporters and we hope you enjoy their time with us. AFC Dunstable plays in the Southern League Central Division, which is a step above us - so we need to be on our game today. I quickly realised that we were playing a bigger club when they contacted us and said they were bringing 10 committee members and will there be room to park their coach. That's the great thing about the FA Cup - smaller clubs getting home draws against bigger ones. I'm writing these notes after a late night in Harwich, where we beat Little Oakley 5-3, giving us 3 valuable league points, oh, what mood swings I'm having already this season! After our home defeat on Saturday against St Margaretsbury, we were all so low.

  • And We Were Singing Hymns and Arias …
    AND WE WERE SINGING HYMNS AND ARIAS ….. More memories from Joe For the third of my lockdown projects, and with the help of Gethin Williams, Keith Warren, Jeremy Wood and Dr Haydn James, I take a look at all the sporting arena performances that the London Welsh Male Voice Choir have been involved in. The Arenas The rehearsals are over. You walk out in your red jackets, heart-thumping, into a half empty stadium and stand on the pitch, pre-match, looking at the vast space of the arena that will, in a short time, be packed to the rafters with fervent supporters. You are performing to a captive audience who’s heart and soul are perfectly in tune with yours and who give you their undivided attention as the atmosphere is ramped up minutes before kick-off. You are privileged to be here, walking on hallowed turf. You feel the excitement and pride of appearing before an expectant nation. You smell the newly cut and watered grass. You hear the roar and stand in unison with your heroes as they walk onto the pitch. There is a moment’s silence as the crowd rises and all eyes are on you, and your eyes are on the conductor, as his baton brings in the band accompaniment before experiencing the spine-tingling emotion of singing your national anthem to an arena packed with rugby fans and a live television audience of millions. You are part of extraordinary matches and witness legends being made, and folklore created in song. You are on the fi eld with The London Welsh Male Voice Choir and you will be part of some of Wales’s most iconic rugby matches in modern times.

Physio Team: John Rutherford and Lorraine Smith. Chairman: Alan Penman Vice Chairman: Steve Harris Director of Football: Sean Downey Secretary: Roy Parker Treasurer: Steve Harris Match Photos: Andrew Parker Reports, Programmes, Kitman, Media: Kieran Carvell Hall Hire: Pauline Parker Groundsman: Bruce Warner A word from the Press Box Welcome to Bell Close, for this afternoon's SSML Premier Division game against Harefield United. A warm welcome to our visitors. We have already faced up against Harefield this season, a 3-1 defeat at Preston Park, which saw both teams reduced to 10 men and ourselves going down to 9 at one point. This afternoon, we hope for better, with ourselves being unbeaten in 7 in the league and having lost just once in 12 games (all comps). On Tuesday, we played out a 2-2 draw against Eynesbury Rovers. Another point gained as we climb to 11th in the league, despite us being 2-0 up courtesy of a Danny Webb brace. What a season that man is having. Bleacher Report and ESPN shared his goal against Tring on their social media accounts. A massive feet for us, with the total view count of that goal at around 500,000. For context, that is 5 and a half Wembley Stadium's. Crazy numbers. Coming up this week, we travel to Shefford & Campton on Tuesday in the league challenge trophy.

It’s return to league action.

    /margatefootballclub /margate_fc /margate_fc GATE TV www.margate-fc.com ONLINE EDITION #TimeForHeroes #TimeForHeroes Tuesday 29th September 2020 MARGATE FC v HORNCHURCH FC Kick Off—7:45pm Welcome Good evening and welcome to Hartsdown Park for tonight’s Pitching-In Isthmian League game between Margate and Hornchurch. The dust has barely settled (but has been blown away!) since Saturday’s dramatic late penalty rescued a point against Carshalton. We are back for our second consecutive midweek fixture under the floodlights as Jay and the players reset and get ready for another tough game against Hornchurch. Tonight’s opponents sit 13th in the table with a win against Merstham and a defeat against Bishop’s Stortford in their opening two games, the Gate are 8th, one point better off with a win on the opening weekend away at Brightlingsea followed up by Saturday’s draw. It may be early days, but it is always nice to put a run of undefeated games together! The Saturday / Tuesday fixtures continue to come thick and fast as we are next in action on Saturday 3rd October away to Leatherhead before we welcome Cheshunt on October the 6th. Remember all home games will be streamed live on our YouTube channel GateTV In other fixture news the U23’s development season will start on the 27th October at home to Three Bridges. It had previously been on the 12th, but our opponents Carshalton have had to reschedule. To everyone in attendance today we hope you enjoy the match, thank you for coming and wish you a safe and pleasant journey home.
