Chairman’s Notes
I’dNoes like to ….extend a warm welcome to everyone for today’s NCEL Division One fixture against Hallam FC here at the Welfare Ground.
It’s always proved difficult to find positive results against todays opponents, the last of which was in this fixture last season when I took temporary charge in the touch- line absences of Simon & Jason the win coming after an early goal wrestled the ini- tiative and saw us weather a second-half storm to run out 1 nil winners.
Hallam’s current form looks very positive with just one defeat in their last seven games in what apparently was a feisty affair at home to a resurgent Rossington Main side. I understand Hallam ended the game with just eight players on the pitch after a sending-off and two sin-bins. Let’s hope todays clash isn’t quite so feisty.
Last Saturday’s result against a “dogged” Dronfield Town was particularly disap- pointing given how we dominated play for virtually the whole of the ninety minutes, missed chances cost us badly. I still don’t know how Almo managed to get that ball so high over the crossbar from such short distance from goal and just how/why in an offside position Mr Owen took the ball off Billy Mole’s toe after a great run with the ball from deep and the goal at his mercy, just to name a couple of instances which should have seen all three points comfortably in the bag !!
Football has a habit of kicking you when you’re down on your luck. My motto in life and business is you create your own luck, people just ain’t lucky all the time, afterall you can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket !! You’ve to keep working even hard- er when down on your luck and another couple of life/business motto’s I frequently refer to are “hardwork cannot be destroyed” and “don’t let the so-an-so’s grind you down”.
Just maybe another thought for our management duo “rather than keep trying to knock down the door why not try find the key to open it”.
My/our last game before catching some rays of sunshine. All the very best lads.
Regards
Kevin

Nostell Miners Welfare 1-1 Dronfield Town
Saturday 8th February | Nostell MW I Toolstation NCEL Division One | Att 52
This was always going to be a difficult game to predict and so the outcome proved. Nostell with a change in formation started very brightly and were rewarded for our enterprise with a penalty after just 4 mins which Skip Meynell dis- patched with aplumb. After great work by Billy Mole down the left, how tom Almond fired over the crossbar on 31 mins from virtually on the goal line still remains a mystery. The Dronfield keeper big toe denied Liam Owen a certain goal on 40 mins followed by a last ditched save by the Nostell keep- er Gary Stevens to keep the advantage going into halftime. 1-0 H/Time. A free header on 65 mins gave the visitors hope. Nostell hoofed and poofed throughout the second half but couldn’t find the winner.
Nostell Miners Welfare 0-0 Rossington Main
Saturday 1st February | Nostell MW | Toolstation NCEL Division One | Att 52
Three disappointing defeats in a row get- ting back to winning ways essential, how- ever a mixture of Rossington coming to defend deep and the home side struggling for confidence and form tell the tale of a difficult afternoon, neither team decisive in front of goal the best chance coming early in the game when a good positive Nostell move, threatened only for Kane Reece to fire wide past the opposite post from the edge of the six year box when it looked easier to open the scoring with the Rossington keeper on his backside. Again in the second half neither side really got going with genuine chances to score at a premium.

Non-League Paper Article
THEY say age is just a number but in football it’s one that can increasingly count against you – especially as it increases! So let’s show our appreciation for some Golden Oldies, who are doing their bit to show if you’re good enough, you’re young enough also rings true. After all, it was only a few years ago that Chris Swailes became the oldest scorer at Wembley when he notched for Morpeth Town in their 4-1 FA Vase final win over Hereford. Swailes was 45 years old when he turned the ball into the net to silence the mass of Hereford fans who had made the trip. Not bad for a defender who has had a long, career that took in plenty of stops in the Football League. Non-League is always good for an evergreen footballer, particularly the strikers. Paul Bray- son has been a regular scorer for Newcastle Benfield in recent years and he is still knocking them in aged 42. Perhaps it’s something about those genuine goalscorers that, while the legs might not be as quick as they used to be, the minds is just as sharp. That gets them into the right goalscoring positions and then, when the ball is at their feet or the cross is in the right place, they just know how to stick the ball into the back of the net. Jamie Cureton has scored at every level from the Premier League down. At 44 he isn’t just on the back nine of his career, he’s strolling up the 18th. But he’s still one of the leading scorers in the Isthmian Premier Division and despite a sur- prise departure from Bishop’s Stortford last week – the club couldn’t guarantee his continuing role as player-manager next season – he has already found the net for new club Hornchurch. I caught up with his new manager, Mark Stimson, last week and he spoke to Cureton’s desire to get in behind the back four burning as bright as ever. Stimson describes Cureton as a “clever” player and he’s sure the youngsters in their squad will take plenty on board from the former Norwich City man. Cureton himself says it is all about diet and re-fuelling the right way after matches. When I spoke to Cureton last year as he reached his 1,000th game, he said he genuinely felt like he could do a job in the League still. And while you’re feeling good, why not keep playing? Back in the FA Vase, there was a familiar name on the scoresheet in Wroxham’s win over Stowmarket Town. Grant Holt, another former Norwich striker, turns out regularly for the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division Yachtsmen. He hit a penalty in the 2-0 win that has put them in the last eight of the competition. A final hurrah at Wembley Stadium for Holt? Although aged 38, he could have far more opportunities yet. Just ask Swailes! Proud History Bright Future
Records exist that a team from Nostell Colliery won a Wakefield District football competition in the 1890’s. The club has photographs of Nostell Colliery teams from 1915 & 1921. At that time the football field was not in the present location but on two sites fairly close by.
The Miner’s Welfare was formed in 1928 after the purchase of the land by the Miners Trust Fund. The sum of £400 was paid to a local land owner for 4.5 acres which includes the land on which the present ground is situated.
A Miner’s Welfare football team was formed and enjoyed early success. The club owns a medal donated by a former player from the 1930’s and a photograph of the team who won the Wakefield & District League in 1938.
After the war, the Welfare provided much needed recreation for the local community and the football team was successful in several annual football competitions. In the late fifties a team from the Welfare visited Belgium to compete against local opposition, a feat unprecedented at that time. The club are proud owners of the trophy won on that successful tour nd press cuttings of the occasion. in the late 60’s the club had a period of sustained success, winning several Wakefield District competitions and eventually being selected to join the West Yorkshire League, lifting the Division 2 League and Cup double in the 1966/67 season. However, the successful team eventually broke up and the club went back to the Wakefield League in the early 1970’s. Enjoying relative success the club began to develop again; two teams were formed, the first team joining the West Yorkshire League in 1982.
Following mining subsidence to the ground, fund raising of over £30,000 allowed the pitch to be levelled off, drainage installed and other ground improvements. However, Nostell Colliery was closed. The nearby col- liery houses (1st to 7th street) were demolished and the Welfare struggled to survive.
The football continued through this difficult period. Promotions through the divisions of the West Yorkshire League, eventually led us through to our present NCEL status.
The most successful period in the clubs distinguished history was about to begin, with the appointment of Alan Colquhoun as 1st team Manager in the late 1990s.
After initially struggling in the West Yorkshire Premier League - Alan Colquhoun actually scored two goals to save us from relegation- Gary Baker joined as Colquhoun’s assistant and the team gradually improved. Eventually being crowned Champions of the West Yorkshire Premier League, lifting the corresponding Cup and appearing in 3 consecutive finals, 2 County Cup final appearances and lifting 6 Wakefield & District tro- phies among other successes.
Off the field the introduction of the Coalfield Regeneration Trust encouraged otherfunders to invest in the Miners Welfare. Renamed Crofton Community Centre approximately £1.5 mil lion was secured to provide the present facilities with Sport England, Football Foundation and the FA providing substantial sums of money to help the football side of the developments.
With the improvements on and off the field a successful application to the Northern Counties East League was made, heralding a new and exciting venture for the Club.
Gaining promotion to the NCEL Division 1, Nostell finished a respectable 4th in their first season 2006/7. Due to the Northern Premier League reforming its structure, along with one NCEL going to the wall for financial reasons, Nostell gained promotion to the NCEL Premier Division. A terrific first sea- son in the premier league 2007/8 saw Nostell finish 5th, having led the division for the first quarter.
The following season 2008/2009, successful cup runs in FA Competitions caused an end of season fixture congestion. Playing every Saturday, Tuesday and Thursday for the last six weeks of the season, Nostell eventually finished 13th not losing to any of the top four teams home and away. However the Welfare, who were the underdogs, beat Scarborough Athletic over 2 legs to win the “Presidents Cup”, probably the highest point of Nostell’s recent history.
During season 2008/9 Nostell had their first player to be signed by a Football League club. Stockport County signed Oli Johnson who impressed during a friendly fixture. Oli made an instant impact for County who sold him to Norwich City, where he was involved in the League 1 Championship winning team. Nostell got a percentage of the transfer fee and with appearances monies eventually banked over £20,000.
Since the success of the Presidents Cup, the following season Nostell just avoided relegation and Gary Baker decided to stand down. Alan Colquhoun continued with various assistants but the team continued to struggle at the wrong end of the table for several seasons. Following a disastrous start to the 2013-14 season Alan Colquhoun left the Club after 15 years in charge.
Darren Holmes and Gareth Hamlet were appointed; they managed to save the Club from relegation by one point and looked forward to improving the following season. Unfortunately, Hamlet had to leave because of work commitments. Drainage work on the pitch ensured that there were no home games till the start of October, the team only managed to gain two league points during this period and lost in the first game of both FA competitions. Darren Holmes worked extremely hard to make a success, bringing over 60 new players to the Club. However, the team continued to struggle, deep in relegation trouble and losing to the teams around them Darren Holmes was asked to stand down in November 2014.
A cry for help, both on and off the pitch, was made in the local media. Paul Lines and Simon Turfrey agreed to join the Club as first team manager and chairman respectively. A respectable finish in the league table during the season 2014/15 was highlighted by Nostell’s maiden appearance on the Shef- field & Hallamshire cup final played at Rotherham United’s New York Stadium losing out to a strong Frickley side.
During the past 2015/16 season despite a positive start to the season, with a number of occasions results failing to match performances. Partway through the season Simon and Paul left the club and despite the hardwork and best endeavours of all those involved, players, committee and management it wasn’t not enough as a result the club was relegated from the NCEL Premier League.
A disastrous 2016/17 season in which the club finished bottom of Division 1 we were offered a last- minute reprieve and retained our status in the NCEL.
Halfway through the 2017/18 and the club in difficulties once again struggling in division 1 another managerial change was inevitable. The appointment of joint Managers Simon Houghton & Jason Dods- worth with a huge amount of NCEL experience proved a turning point in the clubs fortunes, initially securing our NCEL status and avoiding relegation.
The 2018/19 season was overall very positive accumulating the highest number of points in a NCEL season than any previous Nostell side, finishing a creditable fifth and securing a return for the club to The Emirates FA Cup in 2019/20. Hallam FC-Club History
Located in a leafy suburb of Sheffield 10 to the West of the city centre and some 800 feet above sea level lies Sandygate Road, officially the oldest football ground in the World and home of Hallam FC since 1860, thus making them the second oldest football club in the World to Sheffield FC.
After the formation of Hallam Cricket club in 1804 by the landlord of the Plough Inn the club blossomed. By the 1850's it had in excess of 300 mem- bers. Many of these members, familiar with the team football being played by Sheffield FC (formed in 1857), wished to create a less exclusive club led by cricketers. Thus in 1860, Hallam FC was born.
The first ever challenge match took place against Sheffield FC on Boxing Day 1860 at Sandygate Road. This is still believed to be the first ever Inter Club game and the oldest to survive until today.
John Shaw who was the founder and captain of Hallam FC represented the Sheffield Football Association and along with Charles Alcock of the Football Association of London created a nationally accepted set of rules of playing the game. The two gentlemen in fact both cap- tained their respective teams in the first all Sheffield match with London in 1871 in which they experimented with the new rules.
In 1867 Hallam went on to win the Youdan Cup named after a local football enthusiast Thomas Youdan. This is believed to have been the first cup competition and the oldest football trophy in the World. Although lost for a number years it resurfaced with a Scottish antique dealer in 1997.
As professionalism grew within the game and more clubs were formed Hallam struggled to compete, they were content to retain their amateur status and still enjoyed success in local league and cup competitions. A crowd of over 2000 spectators filled Sandygate as they de- feated Bishop Auckland in an FA Amateur cup game in 1925.
Hallam progressed through the senior local leagues and had the opportunity to play more famous clubs in the FA Amateur Cup competition. One such cup match against Dulwich Ham- let in 1953 was played at Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough stadium and attracted a crowd of over 13,000 spectators. Hallam went on to win the Sheffield senior cup four times during the 1950's and 1960's.
With the restructure of the amateur leagues in 1982/83 season Hallam had to make extensive fund raising efforts to meet the requirements of the new ground grading system which was as influential on promotion as the team’s performance itself and to pay a premium for the 99 year extension of the ground lease which had to be met within 12 months of being agreed with their landlords, a burden to be shared by the Hallam FC History cont..
cricket club. The ground lease is due to expire in 2088.
Necessary improvements to the ground included the provision of floodlights, first used in 1992, a 250 seat stand and a covered standing area to house 100 spectators. The fund-raising was boosted by a legacy from a late supporter and the two new stands were completed for the 1999/2000 season. New changing rooms were then built behind the main stand and the old ones were refurbished internally to create a licensed clubhouse.
During season 2000/2001, Hallam FC received two certificates from the Guinness World Rec- ords organisation, which recognised that Sandygate was the Oldest Football Ground still in use and that Hallam FC possesses the World's oldest "knock-out" cup, namely the "Youdan Cup" of 1867.Both certificates can be seen proudly displayed in the entrance porch of the 1860 suite.
In 2003/04 season a barren spell of 36 years without a trophy was ended as the club beat Mickleover Sports 1-0 in the NCEL cup final at Buxton.
2009/2010 season saw the club's 150th anniversary season celebrated with a Dinner and the replay of the first inter club match with Sheffield FC which was delayed until May Day 2011 due to a heavy snow cover on the Sandygate Road pitch on Boxing day itself. The closely fought game watched by a crowd of over 500 spectators saw Sheffield win 2-1 to take home the Alan Cooper Memorial Trophy. A special 150th anniversary edition of "The Countrymen" the official History of the club written by John A. Steele was also published to mark the anniversary.
In 2011-12 the marvelous legacy left to the club by lifelong fan Roger Bell allowed the facilities to be upgraded in line with the modern day league requirements and to refurbish the club- house which was officially re-opened by Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who was the local MP for Sheffield, Hallam, on the 13th April 2012 as the "1860 Suite”. Recent seasons have seen an upturn in performances with both 2015-16 and 2016-17 being re- warded with play-off semi-final places. In 2017/8, the club remained in contention for promo- tion until the last week of the season, eventually finishing third. The club also reached the sec- ond round of the FA Vase.
Over the summer, Steven Whitehead took sole control of first team management, assisted by Wez Hill and Coach Simon Mirfin; and in January of 2020, former Manager Ryan Hindley re- joined the club as Joint Manager alongside Stephen, with Danny Cardwell joining as Assistant.

Total Attendance 1788 #UpTheWelfare Meet The Ref— Liam Smith
Aged 30 from Rotherham and due to be married this year, Liam is a geography and PE teacher to students at risk of permanent exclusion.
He took up refereeing when he was influenced by watching his father as a referee at some of the best stadiums in the country after he also started out in the NCEL. Liam has been refereeing for 13 years now after starting out in junior football, he took it more seriously when his playing days finished when he was 21.
The best ground he has officiated at is the New York Stadium Rotherham Utd who also happen to be his favourite team. His career highlight was at the same stadium when he was assistant referee for Paul Warne’s testimonial, the team included all the ex Rotherham players playing who he used to cheer for as a lad. To make it a real family day to remember Liam’s father was the other assistant referee. He last refereed at the Welfare in March 2019 for our game v Shirebrook Town.
Liam is interested in any sport and especially the NFL. He enjoys watching stand up comedians per- form, and loves to travel saying he wants to visit as many countries as possible with Norway being his favourite.
Today Liam will be assisted by Melissa Cairns and Nigel Haycock, we hope they enjoy our hospitality and short stay with us here at the Welfare.
