STEVESLADE Chairman Steve Slade welcomes our opposition and updates us on all things Bemerton Heath Harlequins.

Welcome one and all to Moon Park for tonight's game. This evening we entertain Shaftesbury Town from the Premier Wessex League, in the Sydenham's Wessex League Cup.

Last Saturday we had a disappointing result in the FA CUP against high flying Sholing. We gave as good as we got, for most of the game, but in the end were down to ten men and Sholing just nicked the victory 1-0. To be fair, they had the lions share of the chances, but we had opportunities that unfortunately we did not take. It was, however, a fast and entertaining game with end to end football.

We hope to bounce back tonight against Shaftesbury, who will undoubtedly give us a run for our money. I expect another end to end affair this evening with no quarter taken in this cup round!

Please adhere to our Covid 19 social distancing rules. Enjoy the game and stay safe.

Cheers

Steve Slade

Chairman

IANSAUNDERS Sus share his thoughts ahead of tonight’s League Cup game vs Shaftesbury.

I would like to extend a warm welcome to Danny, his staff and players and everyone involved with Shaftesbury FC to Moon Park today for our Wessex League Cup tie.

Shaftesbury have made fantastic steps in recent years and a lot of credit should given to their chairman and committee for the huge strides that they have made.

Reflecting on Last Saturday, needless to say we were gutted with the result, but I have to say we were also hugely proud of the performance.

It was another hard game that became almost impossible once we were reduced to 10 men, but the shape was good and the tenacity of the squad was great, although we just didn’t get the chance to get an equaliser.

I will say this again, but we will need to keep all of our players on the pitch in this game if we hope to compete!!

Tonight will be another huge challenge against Premier division opposition, with a hugely experienced gaffer.

Finally I would like to thank ALL of the club sponsors and committee members for their hard work, commitment and their generosity during these unprecedented COVID times.

Thanks again and enjoy the game.

Manager/Secretary

Section to ensure that when football comes back to some sort of normality, we will be a Season 1996/97 saw the 2nd XI as Wessex club that provides a fantastic community Combination League Champions and Cup project for children and adults from ages Runners-up. Under 6 through to our men's senior teams. PENPICS Management Team Ian Saunders (Manager) - The gaffer was in the hot seat at a previous club that won Wessex Division 1 and then the following year won the Premier Division as well, ensuring Southern League football for the first time for that particular club. A couple of seasons managing within the Southern League followed, but work demands meant that local football was back on the cards. The gaffer took the position just as relegation loomed, but he has ambitious plans to take the Harlequins to a level they have never seen before!! Jamie Cotton (Assistant Manager) - Jam has an excellent reputation in the local area. He has previously worked with the gaffer at other clubs and it was a no brainer for the two men to be reunited. Jam is an excellent acquisition for the Harlequins. Danny Proctor (Coach) - Danny, a serving officer in the British Army, had a long and distinguished military footballing career, playing for the British Army and the Combined Service football teams. This is Danny's first venture into coaching a civilian club, but he is already hugely respected. Being fit as a fiddle, Danny is an invaluable member of the coaching team. Jimmy Richardson (Goalkeeper Coach) - Jimmy is another serving Warrant Officer within the British Army. He also assists the gaffer with their other representative team, the Royal Artillery FC. Jimmy is a real players favourite and keeps the Harlequins goalkeepers in top condition. A thankless task at times, but Jimmy is another invaluable member of the coaching team. Mark Lewis (Sports Therapist) - Lewey is a former Royal Artillery soldier who has served with the gaffer for 20+ years. His expertise on the treatment table have ensured that players with slight 'niggles' have returned to playing sooner than normally expected. He is qualified in a number of 'therapy' practices and has become a trusted and valuable member of the staff.

Playing Staff Patrick Creese (Goalkeeper) – Paddy is an excellent young shot stopper. Born and bred locally, Paddy has spent his early years at Amesbury Town, before making the switch to the Harlequins in 2019. Scott Hassell (Defender) – Hass has had a good career including a long stint playing Ryman League football before moving to the local area. He is a mobile centre half who has a good knack of scoring important goals. George Plank (Defender) – George is a former Swindon Town youth product and is also a very keen futsal player. Planky has filled in at either full back position who enjoys not only defending but also joining in further up the pitch.

PENPICS Charlie Rayfield (Defender) – Charlie is another product of the Salisbury FC conveyor belt, he has played a good number of Southern fixtures. The Rayman is an excellent defender who can also get forward and deliver crosses of good quality. Another 20 year old who has a huge future in front of him. Jack Smith (Defender) – Jack is a no nonense defender who thrives on doing his job!! Jack has huge experience for one so young and we feel he is a real coup for the Harlequins. McAulie Stubbs (Defender) – Stubbsy was a last minute signing, before the 'season that never was' became null and void. In 90 minutes he proved to be exactly the sort of player that the Harlequins supporters will enjoy watching. Committed and wholehearted he also has good vision, whilst maintaining his defensive work firt and foremost. Jack Vallis (Defender) – Jack is a new addition to the Bemmy back line. A commanding centre half, Jack is vastly experienced with a number of Southern League appearances under his belt. A born leader, Jack will add his attributes to the squad for the coming campaign. Sean Wain (Defender) – Sean is Pompey born and bred. His promising youth career was cut short with an horrific leg break, but he showed his bouncebackability by playing in championship winning teams in both Wessex 1 and Wessex Premier before having a comfortable time in the Southern League. George Bennett (Defender/Midfielder) – George is a very elegant and comfortable footballer, who can play in a number of positions. Tenacious in the tackle but has an eye for a pass, George was an excellent acquisition in 2019. Charlie Burden (Defender/Midfielder) – Charlie is a former Salisbury FC player who progressed through their successful youth system. Burds is a combative and energetic midfield player who can also play at centre half. At 20 years old Burds has a long and exciting future ahead of him. Stefan Williams (Midfield) - Stef joined the club from Folland Sports in early 2020. His arrival coincided with an upturn in results as his combatitive, energetic midfield presence gave the Harlequins a new found edge. at Camberley Town before going to New Zealand, the club in September 2019. Brandon impressed at the back end of last season when he joined us from Woking Academy. A quick player who can play on the wing or inside. Has scored some important goals for us Ollie Davies (Midfielder/Forward) – Ollie joined the club from one of our local rivals. He was also a product of the Salisbury FC youth system. Ollie brought pace and enthusiasm to the Harlequins side although his season was cut short by injury. We look forward to seeing Ollie fully fit for the new season. Danny Finnigan (Midfielder/Forward) – Danny is a former soldier who has settled in the local area. Known for his tremendous engine, Finners has also scored his fair share of goals over the years.

PENPICS Brandon Mundy (Midfielder/Forward) – Brandon has had a long term back injury and joined the club in early 2020 in order to regain his fitness. A couple of training sessions have hopefully enabled Brandon to make his long awaited debut in the new season. Kane O’Keefe (Midfielder/Forward) – Kane has already had a great non-league career, playing for a couple of local teams. In particular Kano was the skipper for Salisbury FC as their phoenix side rose from the Wessex league back into the Southern Premier division. Prior to that Kane has made almost 300 appearances for the Harlequins scoring over a hundred goals. Cameron Roach (Midfielder/Forward) – Exciting attacking midfield player with fantastic dribbling ability and huge amounts of energy. A former player at the club, we are happy to welcome Cam back into to the Bemmy ranks. Arisha Sheibatzadeh (Midfielder/Forward) – 'Ash' joins the Harlequins from Premier Division side Brockenhurst. Ash is Iranian by birth but he has an excellent understanding of the English language. Ash is quick, fit and direct and seems to have a fantastic attitude. We are delighted to add him to our squad. Callum Sweeney (Midfielder/Forward) – Exciting midfield player with huge amounts of energy and enthusiasm. A natural leader and is an excellent addition to the Bemmy ranks. Danny Young (Midfielder/Forward) – Danny (aka Youngy) has rejoined the club following 6 years away with fantastic spells at Blackfield & Langley and more recently with Salisbury FC. Youngy has previously amassed 150+ appearances for the Harlequins and everyone at the club are delighted to have him back in a black and white shirt. Justin Bennett (Forward) - Justin Bennett has been a non-league legend in a career that has spanned over 20 years. His former club include Andover FC, Gosport Borough, Salisbury FC, Oxford City and AFC Totton. JB is a genuine top bloke who is the perfect role model for all of the younger players. Although 37 years old when he first signed for the club, we hope he still has a few more years in a Harlequins shirt. Ronan Clancy (Forward) - Ronan is a young, hungry, local striker who has recently played for Shrewton. He has also represented Salisbury FC at both youth and then development levels. An exciting addition to the Harlequins ranks. Greg Peel (Forward) - Greg has an impressive footballing CV especially boasting experiences at Leeds Utd, Fleetwood Town and Carlisle. Greg has scored goals in the Southern League at teams like Evesham and Larkhall, whilst also getting goals for both Shaftesbury and Horndean in recent seasons.
