HARTLEY WINTNEY FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDED 1897 MEMBERS OF THE COMBINED COUNTIES FOOTBALL LEAGUE; SUBURBAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE; THE ALDERSHOT & DISTRICT FOOTBALL LEAGUE & THE SOUTHERN YOUTH LEAGUE. AFFILIATED TO THE HAMPSHIRE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION
Hartley Wintney Football Club was founded in 1897. The Club originally played in an area situated at Causeway Farm, which is not too far from our present HQ and was adjacent to the golf and cricket clubs. From stories told by the older members and from ancient records, it appeared that the village side competed and showed well against local opposition. The facilities were not, however, of the standards acceptable today. A horse trough or the pond was the only way to remove the heavy mud left from the sub- standard pitch. In 1953, the Club moved to its present ground in Green Lane, known as the Me- morial Ground. A pavilion was erected and the team competed in the Basing- stoke league before joining the Aldershot league. In 1973, Glynn Howells was appointed manager and, with a further influx of players, HWFC was put firmly on the local footballing map. In Glynn’s six year reign he steered the Club to three successive Aldershot Senior League titles and, on a night to remember, to success in the Aldershot Senior Cup. In 1975, the facilities were upgraded with a bar being incorporated in the pavil- ion, and the playing strength was also improved. In the 1978/79 season, after several seasons in the Aldershot League, Hartley applied to join the Combined Counties league. After the first couple of seasons in the CCFL, Hartley ap- pointed Ian Bedford as manager. A further influx of senior players gave Hartley the success they deserved. Within the first three years of Ian’s reign, Hartley won the league title (season 82/83), Aldershot Senior Cup (80/81), and the George Allen Cup (81/82). They also finished runners-up in the league (80/81) and runners-up in the Aldershot Senior Cup (81/82). During this period a new clubhouse was built and was opened by Peter Osgood. These facilities are ranked as one of the best in the league. David Willoughby, the then secretary/treasurer, and Bill Mitchell, spent exceptional hours in the embryonic stages of this venture. The Club have since strived to maintain their senior status, installing floodlights and a 113 seater stand, and the Club is indebted to the band of volunteer work- ers who keep the Club afloat.

Neville Roach and his coaching team have been working tirelessly over the summer to freshen up the squad to improve on last year’s campaign. Here is a quick insight to some of the new faces who will be wearing the colours of Hartley Wintney this year.
Luke Pearson
A tall, strong centre back who will provide a real aerial threat from set pieces. Great feet and calm on the ball. Luke can also play in the middle of the park.
Dean Peltohaka
A strong, intelligent striker with a real eye for goal. Australian born Dean has played with Uxbridge and Basingstoke Town and will provide plenty of experi- ence to add to Hartley’s front line.
Andrew Newcombe
A talented left back who will strengthen our defence. Great confident ability on the ball, and looks good going forward. An excellent addition to the squad.
Michael Lee
Signed from Frimley Green FC where Michael was captain last season. An intelligent midfielder who is excellent on the ball and a great passer.

Suburban League and Southern Youth League Updates by Phone (WAP)
Anyone who has a mobile phone with internet access (sometimes called 3g or WAP) can take advantage of a service introduced by the company that hosts the official web sites of both the Suburban League and Southern Youth League, leaguemanager.biz.
Once you have established a 3g connection, you can bring up the opening menu on your mobile by going to the web address www.sfl.leaguemanager.biz/mobile (for the Sub- urban League) or www.syl.leaguemanager.biz/mobile (for the Southern Youth League). Add the link to your Favour- ites or Bookmarks so it’s easier to get to next time. The menu shown on the left should appear on your mobile's screen. Use your phone’s navigation controller to highlight the menu item you want and then click it to move to the selected page.
Navigation, highlighting and clicking operations vary from phone to phone and a little bit of trial and error is probably required initially to get the hang of it.
On the Results Page, current results are shown to- gether with goalscorers names (where known). The period selected is the current week Saturday to Sat- urday (or the usual league game week if different).
Current fixtures are shown under the Fixtures tab in the main menu for both cup and league games. The period selected is the current week starting from the day your mobile phone shows as being the current date. If you highlight and then click any fixture, you will bring up the details page for the club and the officials. This page shows all the details held on the league's database for the two clubs engaged in the selected fixture, together with de- tails for the appointed match officials.
Finally, the Tables menu tab will show team positions based on all the results recorded within the league’s database to that point.

I want to dedicate this game to my Father who was a roofer....so Dad...If you are up there!
My Dad used to collect empty bottles, which sounds so much better than alcoholic.
He recently quit his job at the helium factory, he refused to be spoken to in that tone.
Have I already put my Alzheimer's joke?
Is my girlfriend dissatisfied with my body? A tiny part of me says yes.
I went to my local library yesterday, and asked: "Have you got a book on handling rejection without killing?"
The aborigine word ‘boo’ means ‘to return’, because when you throw an ordinary meringue...
I have to admit, it was me that farted in the lift yesterday...it was wrong on so many levels.
There's a man in my neighbourhood who is in the Guinness Book of Records for having forty three concussions. He lives very close actu- ally, just a stone's throw away...!
Have I already put my Alzheimer's joke?
...O shut up, you’ll use them later!

Hungerford Town 1 v 2 Hartley Wintney. 16th July 2011 A very pleasing performance from all of the players, with a 2-1 win over Hungerford Town. Our first goal came 30 seconds into the game, scored by Jermaine Hamilton with a very tidy finish after the Hungerford back line misplaced a pass, allowing Jer- maine to get onto the loose ball and lob the keeper from outside their box. The second goal was very similar, coming from new signing Dean Peltohaka, who scored in the 70th minute with another lob over the keeper. It was a good workout for the players, and what was really pleasing to see was that the fitness levels were already very good. Hungerford pulled one back in the 75th min with a good finish. Overall Scott, Mick and myself were very pleased with the way we played in our opening pre-season game. [Neville Roach]

Farnborough Reserves 2 v 7 Hartley Wintney (1st). 28th July 2011 A very good 7 - 2 win against a good young Farnborough Reserve team, though not a good start for us by going 1 - 0 down in the first 10 minutes and then losing keeper Tom Lovett through a clash of heads with one of the Farnborough players.
It was another good workout for us and very pleasing to see how far we have come as a squad with our work-rate on and off the ball, which we did not do enough last year. It was also good to see our front boys getting into good habits by taking their goals well, with four goals from Jermaine Hamilton and three from Ryan Stephens.
The young Farnborough side gave us a good game - they worked very hard through- out the whole 90 minutes by keeping the ball and tried to make life difficult for us. A good all round performance which sets us up nicely for the start of the league campaign on Saturday against Staines Lammas. [Neville Roach]
