Greetings Well slap me round the face and call me Alice! Here we are, a third of the way through November, and we're still in two cup competitions, seventh in the league, and virtually the entire squad that faced Sittingbourne on the opening day of the season are still with us. What a difference to twelve months ago when we'd lost three players to long term injury never to kick a ball for us again, suffered a heaviest ever defeat in the FA Trophy, been unceremoniously dumped out of the FA Cup and a front door that was hanging off its hinges, such was the turnaround in players. While we'd all love our football club to enjoy consistent success, year after year, I'm a firm believer that you have to experience the testing times to fully appreciate the good and that's what makes this season such a pleasure. The camaraderie amongst the players is the best it has been in years, the quality of football played is, at times, exceptional, we're scoring lots of goals and are edging ever closer to our highly anticipated return to Horsham and our spanking new ground. What a great time to be a Horsham supporter. The only disappointment is our low crowds here at Culver Road. The players, management, and every club official truly appreciates the efforts that you go to to come along and watch our games here at our temporary base but please spread the word and help us try to improve on our gates. If everyone were to convince just one friend or family member to join them on a Saturday afternoon, we would double our gates and can begin the process of rebuilding our fanbase ahead of that first match in the new ground.

On the subject of new visitors, we extend our usual cordial greeting to everyone connected with Potters Bar Town who we host for the first time this afternoon. In fact the two clubs have only met once before but that was just two years ago when, in this same competition, we travelled up to Hertfordshire and recorded a 2-0 win. Now playing at the highest level in their history following promotion from Bostik North last season, The Scholars currently occupy seventh place in the Premier Division and, with their Pakex ground given an extensive overhaul in the last two years, they are a club seemingly on the up. By reaching this second qualifying round stage, our visitors have equalled their best performance in the FA Trophy so we will be hoping that they have not re-written their history books come five o'clock today. Despite the twenty places that separate the two teams, we should not be overawed by the prospect of facing Potters Bar this afternoon having produced a superb display in knocking out Premier Division Corinthian-Casuals in the last round. Dom labelled that as the best performance of his time in charge and those sentiments were clearly shared by the Bostik League, who voted it as the Performance of the Month for October at the same time as naming Dom as the Manager of the Month. Both richly deserved accolades, I'm sure you'll agree.

Unperturbed by the famed 'curse' of the manager's award, the team produced another outstanding display at Ashford last Saturday in coming back from two goals down to record a 3-2 victory with virtually the last kick of the match, and we even managed to avoid the potential banana skin on Tuesday when returning from County League Division One Storrington with a 2-0 success to progress in the Senior Cup. Thank you to everyone who went along to these matches in support of the team, and to the goalless draw down at Ramsgate the previous Tuesday.

Due to our Buildbase FA Trophy commitments, our home league match with Greenwich Borough has had to be rescheduled from today to Tuesday 27th November, kick-off 7.30pm. Should this afternoon's tie end all square at the end of ninety minutes, the replay will take place at the Pakex on Tuesday, kick-off 7.45pm. In this event a coach will be available for players and supporters, provisionally timed to depart from Horsham Park & Ride at 4.30pm. Further details will be posted on the club's official website from tomorrow or available from Club Secretary Jeff Barrett on 07712 888980.

Although ineligible for today's match, we would like to extend a warm welcome to our recent signing Nassim Dukali, who joins us from Thamesmead Town having previously played for Herne Bay and Greenwich Borough. Nassim made his debut as a substitute in our match at Ramsgate and promises to be an exciting addition to an already excellent squad. We would also like to send our congratulations to Rob O'Toole and his wife Joanne on the recent safe arrival of daughter Grace. Here's hoping he can top off the happy event with a winner this afternoon!

Finally, but by no means least, our very grateful thanks go to David Hillier for his generous sponsorship of today's tie and to matchball sponsor Matt Dale.

From the boss Good afternoon everyone and welcome to our visitors from Hertfordshire. We had a very good win over Potters Bar in this competition a couple of years ago, when they had developed a reputation as being a very good cup side, but I'm actually anticipating an even tougher challenge this time round as they have made get strides in the league since then and are doing very well in their first season in the Premier Division. They suffered a heavy defeat at Dorking Wanderers on Tuesday night but I don't think we can read anything in to that as Dorking are going great guns right now and are top of the league for a reason. As always we just need to concentrate on our own game, make sure we're focused, do the right things well and we'll see what happens. We were the underdogs when we met Corinthian-Casuals here in the last round but played them off the park so the boys can take a lot of confidence from that and if they can reproduce that kind of performance then we know our opponents will have to have played very well to beat us.

I've gone on record as saying that this is probably the best group of players I've had since I've been at Horsham and we've seen the sort of fighting spirit in the last few games that you only get with teams who are tight. A trip to Ramsgate is always a difficult one, especially midweek and when you're without a couple of first choice players, so I've got to be delighted to have come back with a point. To be honest, I think we should have had all three and were unlucky not to score on a couple of occasions but it was nice to get another clean sheet. At Ashford on Saturday, we had a poor first half and could have no complaints at going in 2-0 down at half-time but we made a couple of changes and the lads were magnificent in the second half and showed what they're about. There was a real determination about them to put things right and to score the winning goal with the last kick was just the icing on the cake, even if it did give me a few grey hairs by the end! We were able to give a couple of the boys the night off for Tuesday's match at Storrington and although the scoreline makes it look a bit of a close game, the reality was that we had around eighty five per cent possession and it was only their goalkeeper and the woodwork that stopped us from getting a more emphatic win. To be fair to Storrington, I felt they played very well. They defended well and gave us a good run out but when you hit the frame of the goal six times, I don't think anyone can deny that you deserved the win. It gave us the chance to give Lee Harding a run out for the first time since September, as well as Kirky and Jack Hartley, and Nassim Dukali got another opportunity to get used to the way we play. Nassim became available after Thamesmead Town went into liquidation and anyone who was at our FA Cup tie against Herne Bay here last season will know just what an exciting player he can be on his day so it was a no brainer not to sign him up. Kirks and Jack are still some way off match fitness so they will continue to play for Shoreham and YM to get some of that sharpness back and Lee is obviously going to need to be brought back in slowly after his wrist fracture but it's good to see them on the way back. On the downside, George Hayward took a bit of a knock so we'll need to assess him before making a decision on today's game.

Unfortunately we will be without Charlie Harris today after he picked up his second booking of the competition against Corinthian-Casuals and Joey Taylor is still out with an ankle injury he suffered on a trip to the US recently. We should have Will Hoare back today, though, but Nas is cup-tied.

Thanks to all of you who supported us on our last three away trips. It takes an awful lot of commitment to travel down to Ramsgate and Ashford in the space of four days, especially at this time of year, and me, Wezzo and all the players appreciate your efforts.

Dom

MATCH REPORT

Horsham 3 Corinthian-Casuals 0 Buildbase FA Trophy 1st qualifying round Saturday 27th October 2018 "Our best performance since I've been at Horsham" was how Dom Di Paola described this emphatic Buildbase FA Trophy success over Bostik Premier Division Corinthian-Casuals. Striker Chris Smith set the tone after just six minutes when he turned his marker and hit a rising shot over the bar. A minute later, a clever turn from Tyrell Richardson-Brown enabled him to break and fizz over a low cross that flashed just past Rob O’Toole inside the box. A super ball from George Hayward was hit goalwards by Smith, only for it to be turned away by some last ditch defending, yet thirty seconds later the ball was in the Casuals net. Hayward was again the architect with a precise cross into the penalty area that was met by Joe Shelley who guided a trademark header into the net. Casuals struggled to respond and, after Shelley had blocked a shot from Mu Mann, Horsham broke immediately on the counter-attack with Smith slipping a pass through for O’Toole who was thwarted by the alertness of 'keeper Bradley Comins, who made a brave stop. With Horsham playing some great football and reducing their opponents to passengers, it was of little shock to anyone when they doubled their lead on the half hour mark. With the defence all over the place, O’Toole had time to cushion down a cross on his chest and thrash the ball past a helpless Comins. Casuals were offered a route back into the game, three minutes later, when Shelley upended Jordan Clarke inside the area but Josh Pelling guessed correctly and made a comfortable save from Warren Mfula's underhit spot-kick. Defender Reece Hannigan went close with a header wide later on, yet Horsham continued to look the more likely of the two sides to score with Dean Lovegrove attempting to play in Smith in a dangerous position, only for his low centre to be ushered out of play. Comins almost cost his side another goal two minutes before half time when he dawdled on the ball and allowed O’Toole to dispossess him, yet the challenge took the ball away from goal as he failed to punish Casuals further.

Five minutes into the second half, Shelley met a corner that was turned away by Coskun Ekim and sub Maxwell Oldham, with Smith unable to force the loose ball over the line. O’Toole then went close with an audacious chip that looked set to drop just beneath the crossbar until Comins' fingertip save sent the ball behind for a corner. From the ensuing set-piece, Casuals defender Ekim nearly kicked into his own net only for the ball to rebound back off Smith, with Ekim recovering quickly to block the follow up from Shelley. The resulting corner should have yielded another goal when Lovegrove’s sidefooted attempt was saved by Comins and Smith put wide from the resulting scramble. With the home fans wondering how their side had somehow not managed to score more goals, they might have thought they had the chance to add to their lead when Richardson-Brown was sent tumbling over inside the box as Ekim appeared to play the man and not the ball, yet referee Ian Fissenden decided to allow play to continue. Thankfully the decision made no difference as Horsham continued to boss the game and their cause was made easier with six minutes of normal time remaining when Thomas Smith hurt himself after colliding with Richardson- Brown and had to go off, with Casuals having already used up all their substitutions leaving them with ten men. Clarke’s fierce drive from thirty yards on the stroke of injury time was the closest all game that the visitors went during open play as Pelling beat the shot away with his fists, yet just when the Hornets supporters where commenting that the result would have flattered their opponents, substitute Jack Brivio, who had only just been introduced, wrapped up the game in the fourth minute of stoppage time when he rounded off a move by Richardson-Brown who evaded two men before drilling in a low cross that the former Burgess Hill man swept home.

MATCH REPORT

Ramsgate 0 Horsham 0 Bostik South East Division Tuesday 30th October 2018 Horsham were held to their first league draw of the campaign, as they played out a goalless stalemate on the East Kent coast, but were left to rue a number of missed chances as hosts Ramsgate held out for a point. Manager Dom Di Paola brought in new signing Nassim Dukali, who was added to the bench, while the only change from the starting line-up that impressively saw off Corinthian-Casuals in the FA Trophy four days earlier was Lewis Hyde, who replaced the injured Joe Shelley as the small smattering of a crowd settled down on a crisp evening at the Southwood Stadium. Horsham started brightly with Dean Lovegrove’s cross causing an anxious moment for Rams goalkeeper Luke Watkins whilst Charlie Harris sent a long range effort wide. The home side then tested Josh Pelling through Aaron Milbank before Harry Stannard ballooned the rebound over. Tyrell Richardson Brown broke away down the right in the twenty- fourth minute but, having cut inside, his effort was blocked by Watkins with team-mates square. Rob O’Toole and Chris Smith then combined only for Ramsgate defender Jacob Mensah to get an important block in to deny Smith. The visitors' best chance of the first half fell to Smith in the thirty-sixth minute when he latched onto some good work by George Hayward but, having rounded Watkins, the striker could only watch as Mensah got back to deflect his goalbound effort onto the roof of the net from just yards out.

Having edged the first half, Horsham started well in the second but needed Dylan Merchant to clear Rory Smith’s fifty-sixth minute effort off the line. Richardson-Brown then hooked Hayward’s cross wide two minutes later as the play became scrappy. The woodwork then came to Ramsgate’s rescue on the hour mark when Harris’ free-kick was inadvertently headed back across goal by Liam Dickson but Smith somehow hit the bar from six yards with the goal at his mercy. The home side’s main opportunities came from set-pieces and Dickson headed a corner wide in the sixty-ninth minute before Smith had the ball in the net, reacting quickest after Watkins had saved Harris’ powerful effort, only for the goal to be chalked off by a tight offside flag. Watkins then tipped a Steve Metcalf piledriver round the post as Horsham continued to pose the greater threat. Dom Di Paola threw on Harvey Sparks and Dukali for his debut with Ramsgate happy to hold out for a point as they eked out the last few minutes every time the ball went out of play. Smith’s jinking run ended with him slicing his shot wide whilst The Hornets had a number of set pieces to deal with but they finished on the offensive with Jack Brivio heading wide and Dukali firing over in injury time.

MATCH REPORT Ashford United 2 Horsham 3 Bostik South East Division Saturday 3rd November 2018

In complete contrast to its action-packed finale, this match was slow to get going and it wasn't until around the twenty minute mark that either 'keeper was forced into action when Josh Pelling comfortably fielded an effort from Ashford's Harry Ottaway. Horsham had a good chance to open the scoring, moments later, when George Hayward lofted the ball over the defence towards Jack Brivio who could only head it into the gloves of Sam Mott, before a breakaway from the home side yielded the first goal. A long ball forward saw Ashford debutant Danny Parish get the better of Joe Shelley and fire in a deflected shot that the former th Thamesmead man followed up to bundle across the line for what was the 3000 goal conceded by the Hornets in the Isthmian League. The lead was doubled, four minutes later, when another pacey attack culminated in a low cross into the box that was coolly despatched beyond Pelling by Sam Corne. Horsham looked for a route back into the contest just after the half hour mark when Brivio headed Harvey Sparks' cross over the bar and, when Chris Smith was threaded behind the last man to force Mott into a save, the linesman’s flag had already been raised for offside. Ashford went close to killing off the contest, four minutes before the interval, when the dangerous Parish flicked the ball out to Jerald Aboagye whose tea sing ball into the box was cleared by the Hornets' rearguard.

A good chance came Horsham’s way, five minutes after the restart, when Tyrell Richardson-Brown drilled a shot across the face of goal and, two minutes later, they went closer still when George Hayward hit a rasping effort from twenty-five yards that dipped before striking the top of the crossbar. The Hornets continued to press and a pass from James McElligott, a half-time replacement for Nassim Dukali, provided Charlie Harris with the opportunity to fire in a goalbound shot that was turned away. Despite Horsham’s eagerness to attack, Ashford issued a reminder that a third goal would surely kill off any hopes of a comeback and when Clark Woodcock’s youthful exuberance drew in Shelley, his attempted pass to Parish needed to be cleared by the alert Pelling. Parish, making a very favourable impression in front of his new supporters, flashed an acrobatic bicycle kick wide before the pendulum finally swung in Horsham’s favour on sixty-five minutes when Smith played a pass out wide to Hayward and was in the right place to receive the ball when his team-mate's cross was only partially cleared to curl a sweetly-struck left foot shot into the top left corner.

Suddenly Ashford looked concerned and, after Corne had put one wide, an electrifying turn of pace by Richardson -Brown ended with the former Ashford man trying his luck from twenty-five yards. The ball curl ed low into the far corner, past a despairing Mott who failed to get across his goal in time to keep it out. With neither team wanting to settle for a draw, a frenetic final ten minutes saw both sides compete fiercely for the ball and the imposing Aboagye drove deep into the visitors’ half but, despite cutting inside and leaving Steve Metcalf behind, his poor shot went closer to the corner flag than Pelling's goal. With seven minutes of injury time added on Ashford appeared set to reclaim the lead when Parish raced on to a diagonal pass but, with just Pelling to beat, the Hornets shot-stopper saved his team with a crucial block, diving down at the striker's feet. Instead it was Horsham who grabbed the dramatic winner when, as the clock entered the final minute of the allotted extra time, Smith burst down the wing and clipped in a low cross that Richardson-Brown swept in from close range with practically the last kick of the game to send the visitors into raptures.

MATCH REPORT

Storrington 0 Horsham 2 Parafix Sussex Senior Cup 2nd round Tuesday 6th November 2018

The Hornets safely secured their passage into the third Round of the Parafix Sussex Senior Cup after predictably dominating proceedings against their Southern Combination League Division One opponents, with only the agility of our former goalkeeper, Gary Elliott, and the goal frame preventing us from recording a more emphatic victory. Horsham made four changes from Saturday's starting eleven including a return to action for Lee Harding, and there was also a place on the bench for long-term absentees Scott Kirkwood and Jack Hartley.

The Hornets wasted little time in testing the resolve of their hosts, with Charlie Harris bringing a first save of the night from Elliott after just two minutes. They went close to opening the scoring when Jack Brivio drove a low ball across the face of goal that George Hayward just failed to get a touch to before Elliott acrobatically tipped away an effort from Hayward. However, the 'keeper could only watch when his defence allowed a cross to come to Tyrell Richardson-Brown at the back post where, unmarked, he clipped his shot over the bar. Rather inevitably, Horsham found the breakthrough on thirteen minutes when Chris Smith jinxed his way into the box and took the ball past his man before shooting home from a tight angle, across goal and into the far corner of the net. The lead might have been doubled three minutes later when, from a corner, Elliott parried a shot from Lewis Hyde and Jack Brivio's follow-up effort was headed off the line and against his own crossbar by Storrington's Josh Warner with Smith's attempts at converting the loose ball thwarted by a brave block by Owen Cave. Horsham continued to pour forward and Smith shot narrowly wide of the far post while a first time curling strike by Hayward bent onto the outside of the post and went out for a goal kick. The Swans' goal was leading a charmed life as, once more, the woodwork came to their rescue when Harris dummied past Adam Bardoulean and shot at goal where it cannoned away to safety off the foot of the post. Eventually the hosts made a rare excursion into Horsham’s territory when Jordan Suter peeled away beyond Dean Lovegrove but his attempt to slide the ball back for Kelvin Lucas was intercepted by the recovering Lovegrove and ‘keeper Josh Pelling came off his line to clear the ball up the pitch. There was one final chance for Horsham to extend their lead before half time when Richardson-Brown’s miskick saw the ball come out to Hayward at the back post but his curling attempt was parried behind by Elliott for a corner.

Horsham continued where they left off in the second half, and continued to dominate proceedings as they went in search of that killer second goal, but Elliott continued to keep his side in with a chance of pulling off a shock result for the underdogs when he saved brilliantly from Harvey Sparks, tipping his shot onto the crossbar. With Horsham spending ever-increasing amounts of time in Storrington’s own half, the visitors peppered Elliott's goal with pot-shots, one of which brought another fine diving save from the Swans ‘keeper to deny Brivio at his near post. But, just after the hour mark, Horsham put the result beyond doubt with their second of the game as Smith sent in a low square ball that was turned in by a waiting Brivio. The game essentially all but over, Horsham continued to remain camped in Storrington’s half with the hosts unable to do anything other than concede possession and aim for respectability with the score line, but once more Horsham were thwarted by the post and saw a third goal chalked off for offside as the one-sided affair continued. .

Bostik South East Division Round -Up While our own team were rightly earning the plaudits for their superb fightback at Ashford United last Saturday, few could deny VCD Athletic their spot in the headlines after recording a resounding 7-1 win at struggling Herne Bay. Architect of Bay's downfall was Charlie MacDonald, who plundered four goals inside the first thirty-six minutes, and although Tom Carlton pulled one back for the hosts, Alastair Gordon made it 5-1 at the break. Ali Fuseini added a second half brace to take his tally to six goals in the last four matches. Leaders Cray Wanderers needed an eighty-ninth minute goal from Ben Mundele to snatch victory at Haywards Heath Town, who had to play the last twenty-five minutes with only ten men following the sending-off of Callum Saunders. Having eased comfortably past Greenwich Borough with four unanswered goals at the Pilot Field four days earlier, Hastings United found things considerably tougher at the weekend and needed two goals from Youssouf Bamba, either side of a reply by Brannon O'Neill, to see them home against Three Bridges for whom Lee Hall was dismissed in the final minute.

At Reachfields Stadium, Sittingbourne stunned hosts Hythe Town by overturning a two goal deficit only to go down 3-2. Junior Aikhionbare gave Hythe the perfect start when he netted after just twenty-five seconds and the home side looked in full control when the same player added a second before the half hour. But goals from Dan Parkinson and Tom Loynes restored parity by the break before defender Chris Kinnear grabbed the winner, sixteen minutes from time. Just sixty-nine spectators were at Phoenix Sports to see their Kent derby with Ramsgate end in a 1-1 stalemate after Alex Teniola's second half goal cancelled out Harry Stannard's fifth minute effort for the visitors. Having gone seven Bostik League matches unbeaten, Whitstable Town have now lost two in a row, the latest coming at The Belmont Ground at the hands of visiting Whyteleafe, whose Trey Williams and Bradley Wilson got the goals in a 2-0 win.

Greenwich Borough continue to struggle at the wrong end of the table but looked set to end a run of four successive league defeats when they hosted Sevenoaks Town on Saturday, only for Bennet Oliver to score an unfortunate stoppage time own goal to send the points home with The Oaks. Another side in need of league points are Guernsey and they looked all set to pick up a point at Faversham Town as the match entered the final minutes locked at 1-1, with Tom Dodds having equalised Harry Goodger's opening goal, only for substitute Luke Harvey to claim a dramatic winner for Town.

nd Parafix Sussex Senior Cup 2 Round Round-Up

Four Bostik South East Division clubs were in Senior Cup action this midweek, aside from Horsham, and all progressed through to the next round with various degrees of ease. Pride of place must go to Haywards Heath Town, who stunned SkyBet League Two Crawley Town by winning 3-1 at the Broadfield Stadium. Although the Reds fielded a completely changed eleven from that which was thumped 4-0 at home by MK Dons on Saturday, their side did include a number of players with first team experience. Yet an own goal by Crawley's Germain Dua and a penalty from Callum Saunders put Heath in command by the twenty minute mark and, even when Dominic Poleon pulled one back for the home side, the two goal advantage was restored by half-time through Max Miller. Both sides had a goal disallowed after the break but there was no way back for Crawley, especially after the dismissal of David Sesay ten minutes into the second half.

East Grinstead Town were made to fight hard against Newhaven who, after a goalless first half, went ahead through Kyle Woolven only for George Landais to level things up with a disputed penalty, ten minutes from time. The Dockers went back in front in the third minute of stoppage time, this time Woolven setting up Callum Connor to slot home but the visitors replied once more with a close range effort from Jaydn Antwi. Landais struck the woodwork in the closing moments but the teams couldn't be parted so it went to penalty kicks and, after both sides had converted six apiece, Newhaven's seventh hit the post, leaving the Wasps to win the shoot-out 7-6.

There was a shock on the cards over at Hill Park where United raced into a two goal lead against visitors Hastings United after twenty-five minutes, thanks to goals from former Hornets Toby House and Curtis Gayler. Daniel Ajakaiye pulled one back before half-time and that proved to be the catalyst for the Arrows' fightback as second half efforts from Hassan Ibrahim, Jack Dixon and Antonio Walker Barth saw them home by a scoreline of 4-2. Maintaining the night's theme of away victories, Three Bridges edged a scrappy game at Shoreham by virtue of a Brannon O'Neill header, six minutes from time. Today's opponents

POTTERS BAR TOWN

The foundations for the Mount Grace Old Scholars (Potters Bar) Football Association were laid in the spring of 1960 when, after the school's first team had enjoyed a good season, PE Master Ken Barrett asked the outgoing players and old 'Scholars' to support him in raising a team. We were accepted into the Barnet & District League in June 1960 with Barrett enlisting the help of Bert Wright, the school's caretaker, Sven Hammarling and then Bill Venneear and reserve, third and fourth teams were added in the following seasons. In 1965, the Barnet & District and Finchley & District Leagues merged to form the North London Combination. By 1967/8 we had won the Premier Division and the Reserves the Division One title and were admitted to Division Year formed: 1960 Two of the Herts County League. In 1976, Venneear and Clive Cavalier Current ground: stepped down and Peter Waller, then the third team manager, was Pakex Stadium, Potters Bar ‘persuaded’ to take over. In 1978 many recommended the closure of the club but we continued, despite our three sides being relegated. But from Previous leagues: the experience grew a desire never to repeat the mistakes again. Micky Barnet & District League, North Holson became manager and, in 1981/2, we were in the Premier London Combination, Herts Division as Division One Champions. Cavalier re-joined in 1979 and, County League, Spartan South with Waller, planned the new clubhouse and changing rooms. Midlands League, Southern Construction started in July 1982 and in six months, with Frank League Bentley's considerable involvement and help from members, the clubhouse opened on 9th January 1983. In 1990/1, we reached the FA Spartan South Midlands Vase 3rd round before we overcame a twenty-four point deficit to win League champions: 1996/7, the Herts Senior County League Premier Division and the Aubrey Cup. 2004/5

Spartan League Cup winners: We accepted promotion to the South Midlands League and changed our 1997, 2005 playing name to Potters Bar Town FC, to reflect the growing stature of the club and to promote the town. A floodlight system was installed in Herts Senior County League 1993, the Youth section was reformed in 1993/4, and FA Cup football champions: 1990/91 came in 1995/6. At the end of that season, Peter Waller stepped down as secretary after twenty years to become chairman, replacing previous Best FA Cup run: th incumbent Don Newman who had held the position for eleven years. In 4 qualifying round: 1996/7, the South Midlands Premier Division title was won but we knew 2006/7 there was too much work to do to apply to the Isthmian League. The Best FA Amateur Cup run: following season the club reached the quarter final of the FA Vase, were Finalists 1955/56 runners-up in the league, but won the Challenge Trophy and the South Midlands Floodlight Cup. In 1998, Waller and Eddie Harvey secured a Best FA Trophy run: new twenty-one year lease on the ground whilst on the site the old Second qualifying round school was demolished, replaced by a new Ladbrooke School, care 2002/03 home, new car park and Watkins Rise. Sadly, we lost Bill Venneear to cancer in November 2000. The one hundred and fifty seat main stand Best FA Vase run: was added in May 2001. For Season 2001/2, Steve Smart became Quarter-finals 1997/8 manager and by 2002/3, with Paul Surridge, we achieved third place in Last season: the league and won the Herts Charity Shield. The Potters Bar Charity 2nd Isthmian League North Cup followed in 2003/4 but 2004/5 was the most successful of Surridge's three year reign, winning four trophies; the Spartan South Manager: Steve Ringrose Midlands League Premier Division and Premier Division Cup, the Herts Last match: Charity Shield and Potters Bar Charity Cup.

Andy Leese agreed to join us in February 2006 and with new players our fortunes changed and we survived relegation, finishing sixteenth.

For 2006/7, we were moved to the Ryman League Division One North and enjoyed a most successful FA Cup run, losing only 3-2 away to Conference National side Woking in the 4th qualifying round, and winning the Herts FA Charity Cup for the first time. Leese left in May 2007 and we appointed Steve Browne, though he resigned in December 2008. In the summer of 2007, a spectators' covered area was added and a turnstile block. All four turnstiles have a unique history as they were all in use at the old until it closed in 2000. Adam Lee was appointed in 2008 and served the club with great distinction and commitment for five years, always improving our league position and reaching the Herts Senior Cup Final in 2012/13 for the only time. In May 2010, to celebrate our fiftieth year, many former players returned including nine who had played in the very first match in September 1960! Bert Wright, one of our 'founders', received the FA fifty years' service award and, to commemorate the anniversary, the club reverted to maroon shirts, the same colours that we wore in 1960. In January 2012, Bert Wright died at the age of ninety-three, having given the club fifty-two years of service. In his honour, we renamed the main stand after him.

For 2013/14 we were back in the Southern League. In late 2013 Lee stepped down and was succeeded by Jack Friend and then, in early 2015, by Steve Ringrose. In 2015/16 we reached the semi-final of the League Cup then, in 2016/17, we made the 4th qualifying round of the FA Cup for the second time during which we recorded a replay win at Bath City on penalties (our best result against a team from a higher level). In the summer of 2017 the clubroom was totally refurbished and, in August 2018, after raising £100,000 ourselves and following three years' work by John Gibbs, our new changing room complex was opened. For 2017/18 we were back in the Isthmian League Division One North. In September 2017, Peter Waller celebrated fifty years of service to the club and received an FA Award. Ringrose 'promoted' James Duncan to head coach and several experienced players arrived. We started with another successful run in the FA Cup, losing to National South Play-Off Finalists Hampton & Richmond Borough, whilst in the FA Trophy we fell to Southern League Premier Division Champions Hereford, both after replays. We then targeted the play-offs, being eighth in January. However, in our remaining twenty-two fixtures, we won fifteen and drew five and came through to take second spot and promotion with a win on the final day. As a result we proudly start 2018/19 in the Premier Division.

Horsham's fallen heroes

This weekend, millions across the UK and the Commonwealth will fall silent out of respect of the memory of the brave men and women who lost their lives in conflict. Tomorrow is particularly poignant as 2018 marks the centenary of the end of World War One, dubbed The Great War, from which an estimated sixteen million combatants and civilians perished as a direct result. There was unlikely to have been a city, town or village in England that didn't feel the effects of the conflict and it was no different in Horsham where sons, husbands, uncles and fathers departed for foreign parts, never to return.

An obvious lack of space prevents us from providing an account of all those who failed to come home during the four year hostilities but hopefully by focussing on the individual stories of three Horsham-born men who played for our football cub, we can help bring a real perspective to the terrible tragedy brought about by the 'war to end all wars'.

Harold Agate was born on 4th March 1885 and baptised in Horsham's St Mary's church that same month. His father, Henry, was a successful corn, seed and coal merchant who owned a large business in the town that had been founded by Harold's grandfather Alfred. Educated at Collyers Grammar School, Harold first worked in the family business before going on to become an accountant with the Prudential Assurance Company in London. Socially he was a popular figure around Horsham. A good all-round athlete and sturdy footballer, he made his debut for Horsham Football Club as a seventeen year old on 27th December 1902 and helped the town team to a 2-1 success against Petworth in a West Sussex Senior League match at Springfield Park. Although that would be his only appearance that season, Harold would go on to play a further 144 times, scoring three goals, later becoming the club's co-secretary alongside another former Horsham player, Frank Manvell.

On 1st September 1914, Harold volunteered to join the army, enlisting at London's Buckingham Gate as 2745 Private H Agate in the 16th Battalion of the London Regiment. Five months later, having completed his training, he found himself in France as a Lance Corporal before returning to England to undergo officer training with the 3/16th Battalion. He had made his way up to Second Lieutenant by the time he joined up with the 1/16th Battalion Queen's Westminster Rifles at the Western Front where, as part of the 56th Division's 169th Brigade, he took part at the Battle of Arras, fighting the 18 Reserve Division from the North German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The Allies had just an hour's sleep in each of the three days leading up to the battle, leaving them poorly prepared as was noted in the Battalion War Diary for 14th April 1917 "The men were entirely whacked and there was no time or possibility of any proper explanation to them of their objectives". It was a beautiful morning when the battalion went into action, at 5.30am, but they came up against a formidable German artillery whose machine guns proved deadly effective. Harold was wounded early in the morning, by which time two officers had been killed and another three wounded. By 5pm it was all over and the Allies had been moved back three kilometres to Wancourt, where it had been positioned the previous night, and sustained over 50% casualties in a single day. The final report for 14th April 1917 read that three officers, including Captain Harold Agate and ninety-six Orderlies were missing, of which a number were believed to be prisoners in German hands. Two weeks later, the West Sussex County Times reported that Harold's parents had received a letter from the Colonel of the Regiment in which it stated "he was last seen in company with his Company Sergeant Major making his way to the dressing station. As neither of them was reported in, and search was made for them on subsequent nights without results, it is presumed that they are prisoners."

It is officially recorded that Harold was killed in action on Saturday 14th April 1917 but the actual circumstances relating to his death remain unknown. However, two months later, his bereaved parents received a letter from Lieutenant A Matthews Burt who wrote "Official information has now been received that the body of Captain H Agate has been found and buried where he fell." Harold was a Temporary Lieutenant, Acting Captain, at the time of his death and, as with so many of the battlefield burials, the exact location of his grave was lost through subsequent fighting in the Arras area. He is, though, commemorated at the Arras Memorial in the Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery.

Horsham Football Club had yet to be re-established at the time that James 'Jimmy' Sturt was born to a plasterer, Edward, and his wife Emily on 30th September 1880. The large Sturt family - Jimmy was one of nine siblings - were born and bred in Horsham and his early home was in the Bishopric. Jimmy, or 'Nobby' as he was also known, was educat ed at St John's Roman Catholic School until the age of nine and would go on to follow his father in his later occupation as a bricklayer. A keen footballer, he joined Horsham FC towards the end of the nineteenth century and would go on to make more than seventy appearances for the club as goalkeeper. Despite excelling between the sticks (he notably saved two penalties in a 1-0 victory against Littlehampton in 1901 as well as scoring one himself against Worthing Rovers), Jimmy also revelled in being given the occasional chance to impress in an outfield position and it was reported that there were loud cheers from the Horsham supporters when he scored with a diving header in a match at Steyning! When the call to arms came, Jimmy was among the first in the town to enlist, initially joining the 7th (Service) Battalion East Surrey Regiment, and was sent to France in June 1915 almost seven months to the day after his brother Samuel had been killed in action. By early October, Jimmy was entrenched in the Loos area of Pas-de-Calais where he was killed by German fire on October 4th, aged thirty-five. His military career, like countless thousands of other young men, had been tragically brief. In a letter written by a serving comrade-in-arms to Jimmy's mother, it was clear his personality had had an effect on those who knew him. "I can truthfully say that he was loved by everybody he came into contact with. He was trusted and respected by every man in his platoon. Our only consolation was that he was killed instantaneously. You know what a band of brothers we all were. Jim was the best loved of us all. God knows how many of the rest of us will come back but those of us that do will never forget dear old Jim. Please accept the deepest sympathy of us all."

Like so many of his contemporaries, Herbert Liley was a pre-war Territorial Force volunteer, having joined the 4th Battalion Royal Sussex Regiment at Horsham in April 1908, aged just twenty years. Brought up at the family home in Crawley Road, Roffey, with his three sisters and one brother, Herbert worked as a skilled tradesman after being educated at Roffey School and served his apprenticeship before becoming a carpenter and joiner. Another to develop a reputation as an all- round athlete, he made his Horsham debut on 21st January 1905 in a West Sussex Senior League match against Littlehampton at Queen Street alongside teammates Harold Agate and Jimmy Sturt. He scored his first goal in his fourth match, a 4-1 defeat at Shoreham, the first of fifty-five he netted for the club in one hundred and seventeenhundred appearances, including a six goal haul in a 14-0 rout of Southw Southwick in December 1911. Unlike Harold and Jimmy, Herbert avoided the horrors of France when posted to the Middle East in July 1915, serving as 518 Lance Sergeant H.V.R.Liley. He managed to survive the major battles fought against the Turks throughout the Gallipoli Campaign in Turkey and also the First and Second Battles of Gaza. It was not until the Third Battle that his good fortune finally deserted him. At 04:20 on Tuesday 6th November 1917, the 4th Royal Sussex Battalion advanced under a British artillery barrage and took two Turkish fortified hill positions on the Tel Khuweilfeh Ridge. The first position was taken unopposed, with twenty prisoners taken captive, but the second was stoutly defended and it took three bayonet-wielding battalions to finally overcome their foe. The allied force now had possession of the high ground, having inflicted heavy losses upon the enemy. The battalion was later relieved by a Middlesex battalion and marched out of the battle area for the night. But it was during the fighting on 6th November that Sergeant Liley was struck down, succumbing to his wounds the following day. Herbert Liley lies buried at the Beersheba War Cemetery in Palestine (Israel) and is also commemorated on the Roffey Churchyard Memorial as well as within St George's Chapel at Chichester Cathedral. He was awarded the 1914/15 Star, British War Medal and Allied Victory Medal.

We would like to acknowledge the tremendous research undertaken by Gary Cooper for his excellent book "Horsham's Heroes of the Great War, 1914-1919" in helping us put together this article.

Gary Charman got the scoring underway on ten minutes and then Jamie Taylor took over, netting a twelve minute hat-trick. Mark Lampard stunned everyone by pulling one back for Bosham in the second half, shooting past birthday boy Ian Chatfield, only for John Kirby to restore the four goal lead. The visitors' goal led a charmed life after that until Luke Gedling netted on the hour. Charman got his second of the match after a shot by debutant Lee Carney came back off the 'keeper's legs, and then Carney added a brace to make it 9-1 with four minutes remaining. It was left to substitute Michael Death to take the score into double figures, a minute from time, to the delight of a jubilant home crowd.

October was a month which saw the managerial merry-go-round in full flow with destinations taking a different turn from what you might have expected, writes the Non-League Paper's Adam Ellis.

Martin Gray found himself back in football at Ebac Northern League Division One side Shildon after his departure at York City earlier this season. Heads were turned by the 47-year-old’s decision to make the drop three levels lower than his former employers. As much as football can be about turning on a swivel to beat a defender and endless stamina, the power of persuasion can be the basis for new beginnings. If a chairman’s persuasive talents can wrap its arms around a manager or coach’s ‘gut feeling’, as was the case with Gray, then who are we to argue against it? Here are three other instances of the past and present where managers have made moves few could have predicted.

Kevin Nicholson – Mousehole From the National League with Torquay United last season, to the new surroundings of South West Peninsula League outfit Mousehole AFC. A drop from Step 1 to Step 7, but the Seagulls are a club who have no intentions of ‘standing still’ according to head of football operations Adam Fletcher. UEFA ‘A’ Licence-holder Nicholson has proved quite the catch for the fishing port town based in west Cornwall, steering the team to a 11-1 league victory over Ludgvan last week. Switching the Gulls for the Seagulls, Nicholson said he was “taken aback by the club’s footballing philosophy, coaching set-up, use of technology, committee support, infrastructure, fantastic Academy and forward-thinking ambition.”

Tony Adams - FK Gabala This was no high and dry decision by the Arsenal great who followed his sacking as Portsmouth manager with a move to the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan and top flight side FK Gabala. His arrival at the one-time champions of Azerbaijan was heralded as a landmark moment to boost the Azerbaijan Premier League’s reputation, but results didn’t come consistently as Gabala were left to bide their time with mid- table finishes. After leaving the club, Adams then returned in 2014 as sporting director and his recruitment saw the team post the their biggest points total in eight years when they finished third. For the next two seasons, Gabala couldn’t crack the glass ceiling and would saddle consecutive third-place finishes with cup runs which fell at the final hurdle. Adams most recently was appointed as manager of La Liga side Granada with the objective of staving off relegation. But the damage had already been done as Adams’ defensive nous wasn’t enough to overturn a minus-45 goal difference.

Sven Goran Eriksson – Notts County A year after managing Manchester City, backed by the mega wealth of Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed, the former England boss was lured to League Two Notts County as sporting director. In one of British football’s most extreme cases of shady ownership, the takeover would become part of a wider investigation into the legitimacy of businessman Russell King for the Serious Fraud Office. Proclaiming to have bought the rights to North Korea’s gold, coal and iron ore mining operations, King was the head of a company worth $2trillion. All the money in the world to help Sven take the Magpies from League Two to the Premier League. And the Swede was totally sold on the idea he could do just that, reportedly travelling to Pyongyang to visit North Korean dignitaries. But all was not as it seemed and once ‘conman’ King was embroiled in the investigation for fraud, the club ran up debts of £7million before being sold for £1 to local businessman Ray Tew. Eriksson’s seven months at the club were at an end and the Swede later admitted the vanishing act had left him stewing in ‘anger’.

Down with the kids – a round up from Horsham Youth

28th October Our table-topping U13s went goal crazy again when, following up the previous Sunday’s 11-0 success at Chichester, they hit ten past Barnham Trojans to make it six wins on the bounce. It was pleasing to see the goals shared throughout the team with Luke Harrison, Nathan Jones and Frankie Mills each scoring twice and Stan Berry, Cameron Joste, George Southall-Nash and Finley Duneclift chipping in with a goal apiece. The U14s faced a testing trip to league leaders Chichester City and were unfortunate to concede two own goals in a first half that saw them turn around 4-0 down. But a spirited second half display saw Dan Woodward reduce the deficit and another effort was cleared off the goal-line before Chi netted again in the closing moments.

Our U12s were also on the road, making the journey to Worthing United where they put five past the home ‘keeper, conceding just the one in reply to keep them top of Division A of the Arun & Chichester League. The Hornets’ goalscorers were Bailey Moyo (two), Sonny Barton, Markos Panoutsos and Luke York. Horsham U14 Amber saw their first competitive action in four weeks so it was unsurprising that they were a little rusty in their afternoon kick-off down at Bognor but they worked really hard to get the result, secured with a last-gasp winner from Max Warren after goals from Zain Beg and Joe Simpkin had seen the match tied at 2-2.

4th November It was a weekend of cup action for our five youth sides on Sunday, with the U11s wasting little time on their return to action after a two week break, scoring three goals at home to Felpham Colts Athletic in the Winter Cup with goals from Daniel Baxter, Charlie Little, and Harry Long. Our U12s travelled down to Chichester for an Arun & Chichester League Cup tie and didn’t disappoint, as goals from Sam Ayling (two) and Harry Lawson secured the Hornets a place in the semi-final against Worthing United on 2nd December. Also in the League Cup the U13s hosted Bognor Regis Town, hoping to maintain their unbeaten run this season and, in a closely-fought contest, Stanley Berry’s goal proved to be enough to send them through to a semi- final date with Worthing United Colts. That tie will also take place on 2nd December.

Staff from Cartwood Construction, shirt sponsors of the Hornets’ U14 Greens (pictured below), were kept enthralled by the lads’ efforts in their League Cup tie with Marc Pullen’s Worthing Town Red. The Greens worked really hard, against a Reds side who are always difficult to beat, and were level at 3-3 with only ten minutes to go, only to concede two late goals to go out 5-3. Dan Woodward (two) and Zak Dear were the Horsham goalscorers. Finally, at Gorings Mead, U14 Amber were hosting divisional rivals Felpham Colts in the League Cup where a hat-trick from Zain Beg put the lads on their way to a handsome 5-1 victory. Joe Simpkin and Ben Embling completed the scoring for the yellows.

My first time LANK Like a beloved, yet scuffed and battered, old armchair whose springs have long since given up the ghost, Committee Chairman Sean Bravery has become a piece of the Horsham Football Club furniture. In the latest of our 'My first time' features, he explains how his passion for the club was first nurtured at our beloved old Queen Street ground, a very long time ago.

My earliest HFC memory is not actually watching the team, but going to the sacred old ground. I think I was around fourteen when my mum would drop me at the top of the lane, at the Queen Street ground, on a Monday evening. I would wander down, on my own (I was always a gregarious chap), wrapped up well against the night air and take my place, normally in the Cow Shed end, obviously alone. I would then be enthralled watching two local villages battle it out in what I generically called the Monday Night Cup. There were no mobile phones in those days, so no distractions. You were there to watch the football and that is precisely what you did. Despite speaking to no-one, and having no affiliation with either team playing, I would just love my Mondays watching local football, most importantly, under floodlights. There is something special about any game being played under lights. I would enjoy my visits to the clubhouse to get a drink and something to eat, just loving the intimacy and friendliness of everything. I had been to the Goldstone Ground, Wembley and before these evenings out, but football was always at arm’s length. There was a clear divide between the supporter and the football going on. I noticed, however, that the players in local football would react to a supporter's quip or something happening off the pitch, and that always interested me – I still see it as one of my matchday roles to get inside the keeper’s head and annoy him beyond belief (I am quite successful, and it has a similar impact on those watching around me, it seems).

I followed up these days of solitude by starting to come and watch the Horsham first team. Inevitably I stood alone and would initially come to a game every couple of months, then I would start to come much more regularly. I vividly recall seeing Barry Forshaw hit the net on countless occasions and hearing other supporters, who would later become very good friends, sing their songs from in front of the main stand. This atmosphere, although not as loud as professional football, was more engaging. The banter and camaraderie was there for all to see and, just as importantly, be involved with. I wanted to be there, with them, in the middle, making the noise. In the mid-to-late-nighties I started to watch Horsham every week, finally ending up in the group of noisy fans, and in 1998 I knew I wanted to get more involved, to give something back, and there started twenty odd years of being actively involved in the club, be that on the Committee or with the Supporters' Club.

This thrill of seeing football being acted out literally a few feet in front of me has never left me, although there have been a number of seasons where this was certainly tested!"

Left: The Hornets' Barry Forshaw, who left a lasting impression on a young Sean Bravery during the mid-nineties. However, despite the Irish striker scoring thirty-eight times in just sixty-seven appearances, he was quickly pushed down the pecking order of Sean's affection with the arrival of Terry Dodd and Joe Shelley. The fickleness of the football fan!

On this day….

1871 The search by famed journalist and explorer Sir Henry Morton Stanley for missionary and fellow explorer David Livingstone ends when he locates him at a spot near Lake Tanganyika, in what is now modern day Tanzania. Concerns had been made for the welfare of Livingstone after he had departed for Africa in 1866 in search of the source of the River Nile, so Stanley was instructed to track him down in an expedition funded by the New York Herald. It took some ten months for the two to be united, during which time many of Stanley's porters had either deserted or died from tropical diseases. It is reported that Stanley greeted Livingstone with the now-famous line, "Doctor Livingstone, I presume?" though this may have been a fabrication, as Stanley tore out of his diary the pages relating to the encounter and neither man mentioned it in any of the letters they wrote at this time.

1944 Celebrated lyricist Tim Rice was born on this day near Amersham, Buckinghamshire. Educated at three independent schools, including Lancing College, he later attended the Sorbonne University in Paris after which he joined EMI Records as a management trainee in 1966. A year earlier, Rice had been introduced to seventeen year old budding musical theatre composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and the pair soon collaborated on a number of projects

that would become huge hits on both sides of the Atlantic, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita. Rice, who was knighted in 1994, also received much acclaim for his work on the

successful movies Aladdin and the Lion King, as well as his collaboration with ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson on Chess. A keen cricket fan, he also follows Sunderland FC and, with presenters Mike Read and Paul

Gambaccini, he was a co-founder of the popular Guinness Book of Hit Singles.

1969 Educational children's TV series Sesame Street debuts on American television. Created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett, the programme is known for its images communicated through the use of Jim Henson's Muppets and includes short films, with humour and cultural references. With its creation, producers and writers of a children's television show used, for the first time, educational goals and a curriculum to shape its content. Its popularity was confirmed when a 1996 survey found that 95% of all American pre-schoolers had watched the show by the time they were three years old. Spawning a multitude of international sales, by the show's fortieth anniversary in 2009 it was broadcast in more than 140 countries to more than 120 million viewers. The show has won 167 Emmy Awards and eight Grammy Awards, more than any other children's show. Among its characters are Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, Bert and Ernie, and the Cookie Monster and a host of famous faces have appeared alongside them, such as astronaut Buzz Aldrin, Julie Andrews, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro and Michelle Obama.

1979 More than 200,000 people are evacuated in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada after a Canadian Pacific freight train carrying chemicals and explosives was derailed, making it the largest peacetime evacuation in North America until Hurricane Katrina battered New Orleans in 2005. As heat built up on the 33rd car, residents living beside the tracks reported smoke and sparks coming from the car, and those who were close to Mississauga thought the train was on fire. The friction eventually burned through the axle and bearing and, as the train was passing the Burnhamthorpe Road level crossing, an axle and pair of wheels fell off causing the train to completely derail. The impact caused several

propane tanks to burst into flames, with further flammable substances erupting into a fireball that could be seen from sixty miles away. With the possibility of a deadly cloud of chlorine gas spreading through suburban Mississagua, the area was evacuated, leaving the town practically deserted until reopened six days later.
