Alex Lumley comes in as head coach, his training and contribution towards the squad will be an excellent addition this season.

Early pressure and a fast opening pace had Knaphill taking control of the opening stages, and after just ten minutes Jamie Daltrey drilled a superb stike through the Fairford rearguard which found the net between keeper and his near post to make it 1-0. Such was the speed and swiftness of Knaphill’s attacking play and possession that they strengthened the lead in the 18th minute. Josh Watkins surged forward towards goal and neatly slipped the ball past the keeper with ease. Two goals up and into cruise control as the half progressed. Fairford were limited to producing any threat and testing Richard Shelley in the visitors goal, with any creativity from midfield fizzled out before the 18 yard box. Knaphill kept up the pressure with Daltrey being instrumental in several attacking moves to add to his early opening goal. A LOOK BACK…THE FA CUP FAIRFORD TOWN 1 KNAPHILL 3 - SATURDAY 16TH AUGUST 2014 But it was not until three minutes before halftime that they enhanced their two goal margin. Prior to that, Fairford had their rare effort on goal in the 40th minute with Luke Cordery steering his shot just wide of the post. Knaphill’s third goal came from Watkins who latched onto a through ball and delivered into the far corner of goal to finish the half with a comfortable lead. The second half didn’t see Knaphill add to their first half scoreline, they had chances to put away another three goals, but the goal route didn’t have the same finishing effect as the first forty five minutes. On 57 minutes, Fairford were awarded a penalty, but the spot kick was diverted onto the edge of his near post by Shelley then spin up and the follow up headed over the bar. Knaphill substitute Jahmal Ramsay went close after 63 minutes, his shot just wide of the far post. By the middle of the half Knaphill’s fluency had slipped a bit in comparision to the first half as the home side started to find a bit more space when moving forward, and Matt Boucher was given a free header to easily plant past Shelley after 72 minutes. In the final fifteen minutes, Knaphill had two good opportunities, Watkins fired over when well placed, and a shot from Ramsay had the keeper palming the ball away for a corner. Fairford had a couple of chances in the latter stages of the game, but Knaphill’s overall performance gave them their first win Team: Shelley, Green, Taylor,Paterson, Doble, on an afternoon they made their first Daltry(Norman 73),Harris, Close, Watkins, appearance in the FA Cup competition. Hogsden(Ramsey 60),Oakley(Ruggles 80).

Away Bournemouth THE STORY OF “THE POPPIES” The club was founded at a Meeting held in Abbotts Auction Mart in Old Christchurch Road by eight enthusiastic gentlemen presided over by Alderman J Nethercoate (later to become Mayor of Bournemouth) on 11 September 1875. It was decided to call the club Bournemouth Rovers and is one of the oldest clubs in the country being founder Members of the Football Association, the Hampshire F.A. and the Bournemouth F.A. A brief spell as Bournemouth Dean Park (where an all white kit was chosen) Bournemouth FC was adopted in 1889 having amalgamated with another local side- Bournemouth Arabs. The club was among founder members of the Hampshire League and up to joining the Wessex League in 1986 had played entirely in the Hampshire League, except for a short spell at the turn of the 20th century. Earliest record of playing in the FA Cup was a 6-0 defeat at Kennington Oval against Old Westminsters back on 1 November 1884. The club played the second game in the inaugural Hampshire League campaign of 1896/97, going down 1-0 to Ryde Sports on 12 September 1896, finishing sixth from eight. The club has had three homes during its history with their first ground being at a place called East Common near the Bournemouth railway station and Dean Park (current home of Dorset County Cricket) before moving to Victoria Park, which was formerly a farmer’s field. The first taste of County success came in winning the West Division in 1905 and then again in 1910. Poppies became County Division Champions either side of the Great War in 1914 and 1922, picking up the Hampshire League Shield in 1913, with Wheeler scoring 76 goals that season from 47 matches including 9 in a 19 day period.
