Life Vice-Presidents: Paul Burgess Alan Constable @ashfordtownmx Gareth Coates #ASHHAR 5 @ashfordtownmx Welcome to the
RPSAlan Constable We welcome everyone connected with Harlow Town to Short Lane this afternoon. We have played each other in the past but this will be the first meeting since the 2008-2009 season when we were both in the Premier Division of the Isthmian League. We lost at home that season by 2 goals to nil but did well in the away game, winning 5-2. Our scorers back then were Warren Harris (2), Luke Pigden, Anthony Joseph and Byron Harrison. At the end of last season our visitors were relegated from the Isthmian Premier Division but have done quite well so far this season arriving here in 5th position, with 13 points from their opening seven league matches. They were knocked out of the FA Trophy though in midweek losing in a replay at Hanwell Town. We remain at the foot of the table but there has been room for optimism after the last three matches. The draw against Barking was about right but we most certainly did not deserve to lose, albeit narrowly against Chertsey Town on the Tuesday evening and we maintained the momentum in the most recent match, with an exciting 3-3 draw away at South Park. More importantly, the squad is now showing signs of settling after the disastrous early games and with more signings this week, it looks reasonable to assume that we will be off the bottom of the table soon. Due to further FA re-structuring at the end of the season it is only the bottom club that will be relegated and even that might be avoided as the bottom club in each Step 4 division will play off against a runner-up in a Step 5 league. Hopefully not too many people travelled to Uxbridge on Tuesday in the Velocity Trophy, with the match being postponed shortly before kick-off due to the torrential rain that started falling about 6.00 p.m. It seemed that whilst most of the Uxbridge pitch remained playable, parts of the far end became flooded leaving the referee with no choice. We await a new date for that one. As far as the writer is aware, we are not playing this coming Tuesday, although it is possible that one or other of the remaining Velocity Trophy matches could be re-arranged. What is definite is that we will entertain Canvey Island here next Saturday in the Preliminary Round of the FATrophy. They are another club we have not played for some years, the last meeting being in the 2009-2010 season when we lost 1-2 at their ground and then drew the home match one apiece right at the end of that particular season on 20th April, our goal being scored by James Awuah. Ashford Women are also at home this weekend, kicking off at 2.00 p.m. on Sunday, against Dulwich Hamlet in the London and SE Regional League. They will be itching to get their previous game out of their system when they lost 0-1 in a very uncharacteristic performance to Saltdean to go out of the Women’s FA Cup and losing out on a match away to Fulham in the next round. The Under-18’s were also disappointing in their last outing losing 1-2 against Manorcroft in the last minute after having a man sent off for two cautions.

#ASHHAR 11 @ashfordtownmx Today’s Opponents Harlow Town Club History The club was originally formed in 1879, playing its first match in October of that year against Saffron Walden Town. It is one of the oldest Clubs in the County of Essex. In those early days the club, just known as Harlow, played friendly matches against local opposition until the formation of East Herts League in 1896. As with most clubs around this time Harlow had their fair share of amalgamations with other local clubs, and was known as Harlow & Burnt Mill before later becoming Harlow Town. Over the years Harlow, which became a New Town in the early 1950’s, expanded beyond recognition, and the Club grew with the town. The club moved into the Spartan League in 1932 and were granted Senior Status in 1937, competing in the F.A.Cup and Essex Senior Cups for the first time. At this time Harlow had one of the smallest populations for clubs competing at this level, a far cry from today where the population is around 80,000. After the Second World War, Harlow continued to compete in the Spartan League until moving into the London League in 1953. Six seasons were spent in the London League before a move into the Delphian League. In 1960 the club moved away from its roots in Old Harlow, moving into the Sportcentre ground in the new town, which was the clubs home for the next 46 years before moving to The Harlow Arena in September 2006. With the reorganisation of the amateur game in the early 1960’s Harlow found themselves playing in the newly formed Athenian League Division Two for the start of the 1963-64 season, winning promotion at the first attempt after finishing in third place. After eight seasons in Division One, Harlow finally won their first senior championship by winning the Athenian League Division One title. The following season saw the club finish fourth in the Premier Division before joining the Isthmian League for the start of the 1973-74 Season. After joining the Isthmian League Harlow had more than their fair share of ups and downs. Promotion was achieved five times, including lifting the Division One and Division Two (North) titles, whilst the club suffered four relegations and had to sit season 1992-93 out after severe financial problems threatened the club’s very existence. Five seasons were spent in the top flight of the Isthmian League with an 11th place finish in season 1979-80 being the best to date. The Club made a name for itself in season 1979-80 with a terrific F.A.Cup run, which saw the club progress to the fourth round proper, having started out in the preliminary round.
12 #ASHHAR ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com
Wins against Lowestoft, Hornchurch, Bury Town, Harwich & Parkeston, Margate, Leytonstone-Ilford, Southend United and finally Leicester City, gave the club a fourth round tie away to Watford. The BBC “Match of the Day” cameras were at Vicarage Road as Harlow eventually bowed out of the competition, although they went down fighting, losing 4-3 to Graham Taylor’s side. Since that time Harlow have appeared in the Competition proper on four further occasions, the last of which was 2008/09 when Macclesfield Town finished the club’s dream with a 2-0 win at Barrows Farm in the first round. In recent times the Club have got back on their feet following the problems of the early 1990’s. Having been relegated two divisions by the League for the season that the Club could not compete; the Club worked their way back to where they were before the enforced break. After a few near misses the “Hawks”, as they are now known, won back-to-back promotions from Division Three and Division Two of the Ryman League and after a poor first season back in Division One, managed to establish itself in the Division until the end of the 2003/2004 Season when the re-structuring of the non-league game saw the club switch to the Southern League. The Hawks finished 15th in the Southern League Division 1 East League table in Season 2004/2005 and 9th in Season 2005/2006.
The Hawks haven’t had much success in recent years in the FA Trophy or League Cup Competitions but lifted the prestigious East Anglian Cup in Seasons 1989/90, 2001/02 and in season 2005/2006 when Spalding United were beaten 1-0 in the Final. The Club moved in September 2006 to a new ground at Barrows Farm, a mile and a half to the west of their old Sportcentre location, and after awaiting clearance from the Ryman League to start playing at the new Stadium played their first senior match in a Division 1 North fixture versus Ware on 18th October. A highly successful first term at Barrows Farm was complete when the Hawks gained promotion to the Premier Division of the Ryman Football League at the end of the season by clinching runners-up spot and then beating AFC Sudbury on penalties in the Division 1 North “Play-off” Final. The Club’s first season back in the Premier Division saw a 15th place finish, however, despite reaching the first round of the FA Cup, the club were unable to retain their Premier Division status. The build up to the 2009-10 season was severely disrupted when on 21st July the Chairman resigned due to a change of ownership of the club. The manager followed along with the vast majority of the playing staff and various members of the backroom staff.
#ASHHAR 13 @ashfordtownmx Harlow Town Continued....
The club wasted no time in appointing a new manager in Anthony Anstead and in just eighteen days he managed to put a squad together to start the new Ryman League season. With the Hawks rooted to the bottom of the division Anstead resigned from his position at the end of November 2009, with former Hawks favourite Marvin Samuel being appointed as the new manager. In January 2010 new owners took control of the club, with former manager Tommy Cunningham returning to the club with his business partner John Barnett. After many months of turmoil the club can finally look forward to a much brighter future, under Barnett and Cunningham's leadership. The first full season with the new owners in control 2010/11 saw Kevin Warren become the Hawks manager, but a run of defeats led to Danny Chapman replacing him at the helm. Chapman then turned the tide and took the club to the Ryman Division One North play Off Semi-finals after finishing fourth, but they failed to reach the final after being defeated by Wingate & Finchley, whom went on to gain promotion. In 2011/12 saw Chapman lead the Hawks to 7th in the Ryman Division One North, after sitting in the play off race for most of the season, but a dip in form at the business end of the season left the Hawks just short of a play off position. 2012/13 Season was one to forget for the Hawks, after the two previous seasons when Danny Chapman’s team just missed out on promotion, the Hawks had a mixture of both experience and youth in the squad. Early exits in both the FA Cup and Trophy were disappointing for Chapman and the owners, during the campaign the Hawks were hit with a further blow, a ten-point deduction for an administration error. With this and a squad of young inexperienced players gave Harlow a battle to stay out of the one relegation place. The Hawks managed to do that by five points and have spent the close season rebuilding the team. The owners have also spent money on a new 3G pitch that was laid during the summer ready for the start of the 2013/14 season. Along with the new pitch comes the integration of several youth teams under the Harlow Town banner. The 2013/14 season saw a new era for The Hawks. We started the season playing on our newly laid 3G artificial surface, in the newly named Harlow Arena. The owners Tom Cunningham and John Barnett also announced a new shirt sponsorship with Opt FX. While on the pitch Manager Danny Chapman got himself a great squad together to battle out on all League and cup fronts. The first competitive fixture on the 3G surface was on Tuesdayth 13 August 2013 against newly promoted Barkingside, The Hawks won the game 8-3. New signing Alex Read was hit with the fans as he became the Hawks all-time leading goal scorer, netting 52 times in all competitions. His goals helped Chapman’s side to finish Fourth in the league, thus earning themselves a place in the play offs. In the Semi-Final we travelled to Heybridge Swifts, where we comfortably won 3-0, this victory saw us into the play off final and another away trip to 2nd placed Witham Town, unfortunately The Hawks never got going in front over 800 spectators at Spa Road, many following The Hawks and we fell to a 3-0 defeat. The season also saw the hawks reach the Robert Dyas League Cup Quarter Finals and also the Essex Senior Cup Quarter Finals.

Harlow Town Continued....
2014/15 This saw the Hawks Second season playing on our 3G surface, and the start of The Harlow Academy set up which incorporated 21 youth teams playing at The Harlow Arena, and turned out to be a great success. Danny Chapman was again in control of the first team and was looking for promotion, unfortunately we missed out on automatic promotion by 1 point from Needham Market in a season where The Hawks lost only 5 league games all season. Once again Alex Read became The Hawks top scorer with 42 goals in all competitions, and took the Ryman Division One North golden boot award for the second season running. With The Hawks finishingnd 2 this meant another appearance in the Play Offs, but this time we failed in the Semi-Finals going down 3-4 after extra time to Thurrock in front of over 900 supporters. The end of the season also saw The Harlow Arena host The under 12’s international Youth Tournament, which saw sides from England, Holland, Germany & Denmark take part in a very successful event. 2015/16 Manager Danny Chapman was looking at achieving promotion this season after losing out in the play-offs in the previous two seasons. Chapman made a historic signing of Senegal international centre half Ibrahima Sonko to strengthen the back line as well as prolific scorer Alex Read extending his contract. The season saw The Hawks finishrd 3 in the table with 96 points, making the play offs for the 3rd year in a row. This with the help of another 30 league goals from Alex Read. The season also saw a club record breaking run of 12 consecutive league wins between December and February. The FA Cup saw us reach the 4th qualifying round only to lose 2-0 at National League Play off Semi-Finalists Braintree Town. But this season was all about gaining promotion and the play off semi-final saw us face Cray Wanderers at The Harlow Arena, in front of 832 spectators Chapmans men came through with a 3-0 victory and earn a place in the final. With AFC Hornchurch winning at Thurrock in the other Semi-final this meant that the Final would be held at The Harlow Arena. In front of a partizan 1,655 crowd The Hawks triumphed with a 3-1 win an own goal followed by strikes from Piers Wixon and Layne Eadie promotion was achieved. 2016/17 The Hawks returned to the Isthmian Premier Division for the first time since 2006/07 season and enjoyed a 10th place finish after pushing for the play-offs up to the last two weeks of the season. Danny Chapmans men also produced a memorable run the FA Trophy when they were beaten by conference outfit and eventual winners of the Trophy York City in the last 32 of the competition. Meanwhile the Ladies side have gone from strength to strength and captured a league and cup double for the 2nd season running.

By David Richardson All too o�en in the a�ermath of alleged incidents of racism, we see clubs and leagues put out an obligatory statement and then try to move on from the ma�er as swi�ly as possible. But, following the latest blight on the game, Hartlepool United deserve credit for the way they responded to the unsavoury scenes we saw during their Na�onal League game with Dover Athle�c when striker Inih Effiong was subject to racist abuse and gestures from spectators in the Pools end. His team-mate Ricky Modeste was also caught up in the incident, while Pools midfielder Gus Mafuta was clearly upset by what he heard as he told the supporter to get out of the ground. An arrest has been made by Cleveland Police and we hope a heavy sanc�on is handed out should the person be found guilty. They have no place in our football grounds and we all have a responsibility to unite and drive them away. Both Dover and the Na�onal League made their feelings clear in statements released a�er the game. Dover also pointed out that blame should not be shi�ed on to the vic�m. Effiong celebrated his goal in front of the fans – but that doesn’t give irate people a pass to racial abuse. Pools reacted well too. With their own players unhappy with what played out, chairman Raj Singh visited their homes on Sunday to talk through what happened. Then, their game against Chesterfield last Tuesday night was used to send out a message. The front of their programme and banners carried logos with ‘Love Pools Hate Racism’. The club also carried an interview with Mafuta, where he was able to put across how he felt that a�ernoon when he saw supporters of the club he represents abusing a fellow footballer for the colour of his skin. It would have been easy to shy away from it but Pools rightly gave him a pla�orm. Effiong told The NLP: “You hear it and see it out of their mouths. Understand, the fans looked so angry. I’m thinking, ‘How can I make you that angry that you want to give me racial abuse?’ It wasn’t on and quite upse�ng. Even their players were devastated by it. “We considered walking off. Our gaffer asked if we wanted to, their gaffer said they would support us if we wanted to. But we just said, ‘No, let’s get on with the game’.” Both Effiong and Mafuta feel it is vital to keep up the conversa�on. It is important their voices are heard. Ac�on needs to be firm and strong to eradicate this scar on society and football. Non-League Day has been one of the great success stories of Non-League football since its incep�on by James Doe. A simple idea, but a really good one that encourages fans to get down to their local club during an interna�onal break each season. It’s a day that puts Non-League football up in lights for those who may not normally consider it. It shows people there are good games o�en only ten minutes away or so from their front doors. Clubs have run promo�on offers for entry, organised special events at the ground, leagues have arranged groundhops and one club even had ferret racing one year! It’s a great opportunity to take along a debutant - we’re sure they will love it too.
