A warm welcome to our visitors… Devizes Town F.C.

Tonight, we offer a warm welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Devizes Town Football Club as well as the match officials too. We hope they enjoy their brief stay in the village and have a safe journey home. To say this has been a mixed and eventful start to the season would be an under statement! It’s nearly the end of September and we’ve still only played two league games due to one match being abandoned, another being postponed and having only one midweek league game despite the good weather and last season’s fixture pile up. First of the sequence was the home game with Bishop Sutton which was halted due to a serious injury to former Hengrove player Brendan Abood. The Grove were losing 4-1 at the time and will now play the rearranged fixture on Tuesday 20th October, three weeks time. Another match that has a new date (though for happier reasons) is Portishead at home which will now be on Tuesday 13th October. This is because we triumphed in our FA Vase Cup tie at Wellington after a penalty shootout. The scores were level at 2-2 after 90 minutes and with no extra time in FA competitions this season, the clash went straight to penalties. With Carl Bush injured, Luke Crewe had stepped in between the sticks and then stepped up magnificently by saving two Wellington spot kicks and scoring his own penalty. When you bear in mind that Luke scored an FA Cup hat trick against Welly three seasons ago, the rumours that he is now banned from the town may have some substance! We now have another tough looking trip to a Western League Premier Division side, this time to Street on Saturday 10th October. Your support at the Tannery would indeed be very welcome. Finally, we would ask you to consider using the services of our kind sponsors featured in this programme and also the advertising boards around the ground. If you do so, please could you kindly mention that you saw their advert on your visit to the AVB Stadium. Many thanks and enjoy the match! Martin McConachie Club Secretary

Focus on… Devizes Town

Football in Devizes was recorded to have been first played in 1876 when Devizes Rangers played out a goalless draw against local rivals Holt. In those days the games were played under both Association Football and Rugby Union rules. Devizes Rangers existed in tandem with Devizes Football Club (Rugby) and the two clubs swapped players as well as codes, until Rangers disbanded in the late 1880s. The origins of Devizes Town Football Club itself stretch back to 1884 when Southbroom Football Club was formed by the members of Southbroom Cricket Club as a winter activity. Games were played in a field behind the vicarage in Brickley Lane until 1886 when the 'blues' as they were known joined forces with the cricket and tennis clubs and formed Devizes Recreation Club based in London Road. In 1896 the club tasted success for the first time in winning the Wiltshire League Championship. In 1898 Southbroom and other smaller clubs amalgamated to form a much larger club, and so Devizes Town Football Club was born. The new club leased a playing field in Quakers Walk and in their first season won the Wiltshire League as well as reaching the First Round Proper of the FA Amateur Cup and the Wiltshire Cup Final. The elusive Wiltshire Cup finally came to Devizes in 1908 when they defeated Trowbridge 3-1 to lift the trophy for the first time. In the aftermath of the Second World War the club had to find a new ground to play, thankfully due to the generosity of the Jennings family they were offered a free 21-year lease on a ground at Nursteed Road. The first competitive game there was against Purton in 1945. In 1949 the Wilts League Champi- onship came to Nursteed Road for the third time, and then the following year this was followed by the capture of the Wiltshire Senior Cup for the first time since 1908 in front of a crowd of over 4000. The late 1950s and 60s were a golden period for the club with numerous league and cup triumphs, including several good runs in the FA Amateur Cup - the most notable bring reaching the Third Round Prop- er in 1958. In the Wiltshire Senior Cup, the team appeared in every final between 1956/7 and 1962/3 winning 6 out of the seven finals. Roger Hunt joined the club in 1958 and formed a lethal partnership with prolific striker Tony Edge. Roger Hunt went on to become one of the most celebrated players of his age - playing for Liverpool and the World Cup Winning England side. . 'Edgey' the goal machine was in line to represent Great Britain in the 1960 Olympics as a result of his prolific goal scoring talents for Town, before he was persuaded to join Bristol Rovers in 1959. He returned to Town though and in 1961-62 scored 92 goals in the treble winning season. He managed the side in 1967 and the following year was honoured by the club for achieving the amazing record of 500 goals in 500 games. The 1961/2 treble winning season was remarkable as Town collected the County Senior Cup, Premier League Championship and the League Subsidiary Cup. Walthamstow Avenue visited in 1965 to officially re-open the Nursteed Road Ground which had been purchased by the club after six years hard work. 1967 brought a new era for the club as they joined the Western League, with the new ground facilities being completed the following year with Roger Hunt returning to officially open them. The season 1972/3 saw the club managed by former Bath City player Ken Owens clinch the Western League Championship and the Subsidiary Cup, as well as having good runs in the FA Cup and Ama- teur Cup. Ted Chivers, chairman and benefactor of the club for 24 years, retired in 1974 and was honoured with a club presentation to thank him for his unstinting support of the club. Three years after achieving the Western League Championship the club suffered their first ever relegation. However, the stay in Division One was short lived and in 1980 under Paul Lloyd the club returned to the Western League Premier as Division One Runners-up. The following year Lloyd led the side on their greatest run in the FA Vase reaching the quarterfinals - where they were beaten by Whickham in freezing conditions in the North-East.

Focus on… Devizes Town

Success continued with Town winning the Wiltshire Premier Shield in 1983 in a hard fought victory over Trowbridge Town. However, all changed with Paul Lloyd's resignation in 1984 - playing fortunes declined and once again Town found themselves relegated to Division One the following year. The late 1980s and 1990s were inauspicious times for the club with increasing financial pressures which were only partially eased by the sale of the Nursteed Road ground to neighbours Linpac in 1991 in return for a lease deal securing the ground for 99 years. Having survived some years of crisis the season 1999-2000 was the most outstanding in the club’s history. Manager Brian Newlands had over the last four years been building a talented squad and they repaid his faith by winning the Division One title with a remarkable run of 32 unbeaten league games to gain promotion back to the premier after 15 years. The season ended with an emphatic 8-0 demoli- tion of Chard Town where Andy Coombes stepped up to receive the Division One trophy. The following season the success continued with Town enjoying an excellent FA Cup run that took them to a Fourth Qualifying Round tie against Conference side Kingstonian and a chance of reaching the First Round. Unfortunately, in wet and windy conditions the cup run ended with a 5-2 defeat to the Confer- ence side. After seven successful years Newlands resigned at the start of the 2002-3 season. After a brief 15 weeks stay in-charge by ex-Chippenham player Ray Baverstock, former Town stalwart Peter Tripp was appointed. He was to lead Town on another epic FA Vase run that took them once again to a quarter-final appearance, this time against Maldon Town. This was their ninth game in the competition and as in 1981 Town failed on the day, being beaten 3-0 by the Eastern Counties League outfit. The start of the 2003-4 season saw major changes in the structure of the club with a new committee being appointed and a rigorous financial structure bringing much needed stability to the club. Since then there has been a major investment in the facilities at the club with a new Members' Bar (named after Jack Goodship, a stalwart of the club for over 25 years who passed away in 2003) and ongoing plans for refurbishment throughout the clubhouse and grounds. On the pitch results have been variable and the club has flirted with relegation. On the managerial front Dave Hopkins, Mark Godley and Nathan Sheridan all tried to bring success but results were variable, and the club flirted with relegation. In 2005/6 the Under 18's side under Gary Hopper won their section of the league with some style and then only narrowly lost to Malmesbury in the play-off final. In the summer of 2006 Nathan Sheridan was relieved of his position and former player Paul Thomp- son appointed as first team player/manager. He enjoyed a successful two years as manager before departing towards the end of the 2007/8 season. Also departing earlier in the season was popular Chairman Phil Rossiter who had led the club out of one of its darkest periods. Phil was given Life Membership in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the club. For the 2008/9 season former Reserve Team managers Shaun Moffat and Kev Whitbread took the reins but with injuries, suspen- sions and loss of playing budget were unable to save the club from finishing bottom of the league and so ending their 8 year stay in the topflight. In the close season Shaun took on the role of Chairman and Kev took over full control of the side, being joined as Joint First Team Manager by former boss Paul Thompson. The club had another difficult campaign but managed to retain their Western League status, finishing in penultimate place in Division One. Kev stepped down at the end of the season and Tommy Dryden, the former Malmesbury & Calne Town manager took over as Team Manager, with Trevor Vowles taking over the Wiltshire League side. It was change again by the end of September with Tommy Dryden deciding to step down for personal reasons, former Wroughton and Shrivenham manager Mark Love took over until the end of the year.

Focus on… Devizes Town

The club decided to appoint Jamie Bayes from the reserves to cover the first team and will work closely with the reserve’s manager Scott Clark and his assistant Bud Walters in bringing back the local players to play for Devizes Town at Nursteed Road, in 2012-13 Mark Love returned to the club but did not reach the expectation we had hoped and decided to step down at the end of the season due to work commitments. We appointed Bud Walters and Justin Webster as first team managers at the start of the season 2013- 14 season they were together until the end of the year when through work commitments Justin stepped down. In 2014-15 we saw Bud Walters and Tom Perkins take the helm together who continued in their roles until 2108-19 when they finally felt they had taken the club as far as they could and needed to step away and look to spend some time with their families but still be involved at the club We went out to look for a new management team and have found father and son Rob and Dan Broad- bank from Swindon they worked hard to get the players to work together with Swindon based players but in early October it didn’t feel right so they left by mutual consent the deadly duo of Bud and Perks have returned again to steady the ship and hopefully to stop some players leaving their hometown club. In early January Bud and Perks advised the club they would end the caretaker roles and the club appointed Nigel Tripp as First Team Manager who is keen to keep the squad assembled of local talent and get the club back where it belongs in the Toolstation League, Nigel has played a good level of football and has managed at this level before so we are keen for the supporters to get behind him and the team. He will be assisted by Lee Dodds, Luke Enderby and Dan Sloan for the new season 2020-21 The reserves due to changes in leagues played in the Trowbridge League they were manged by expe- rienced player Stewart Swan who can look to develop the squad with his experience and tutorship, unfortunately Stewart has had to step back from his duties for a while with family issues and has handed the reigns to Liam Bradrick taking the job he is still a teenager but keen as mustard and we are confident he will work well with the youth to progress the team the right way, with the season ending early and the reserves being 2nd in their league following a zoom AGM they were voted back to the Wiltshire League for season 2020-21 this will be a good learning time for the youngsters with some old heads to help their quest to play adult football. Liam we felt would need some help and guidance in managing back in the Wiltshire League so it has been decided to appoint Oli Gee to manage the team with Dave Jenkins and Liam Bradrick working closely with the first team to develop the squads together for the benefit of both squads

In what has been a trying time for everyone in life, not just football, your generosity, loyalty and commitment does not go unnoticed. We are a small club trying to do things the right way which is not always easy but with you behind us, we can achieve it. So from all of us at the Grove, a huge THANK YOU! Hengrove Athletic Football Club is renowned within the local leagues and amongst match officials for offering a warm, friendly welcome and top notch hospitality. The ground itself, the AVB Stadium in Norton Lane, is pleasant and offers superb views of the city of Bristol as well as the peace and quiet of the country. It's a lovely place to watch a great game of football! Here at the club, the last few seasons have been very successful and as a result, we are looking for people to join the team. Not the one ON the pitch that have won two promotions and a Les Phillips Cup in the last eight years, but the one OFF it; the team behind the team if you like. We are looking for anyone that feels they could make a contribution to the club. On matchdays, it could be serving refreshments and food, selling raffle tickets, working on the front gate or helping to tidy up after the game. You'll get to watch the football free of charge of course but better still, you'll be joining a small team of dedicated hard working volunteers that make this club very special. On non-matchdays, there are other jobs that need doing such as strimming, painting, cleaning, weeding, brushing.. You name it, we need to do it! However with only a small band of willing helpers, we can always do with a little more help, no matter how many hours you can give up. If you feel this could be you, please email chairman Mike Greatbanks on [email protected] or call him on 07884 492217. And thank you!

Hengrove Athletic Club History

Hengrove Athletic F.C was formed in 1948 from players who were demobbed from National Service. As a footnote, there is also wartime history to the club colours of green and white. With the rationing and many shortages, football shirts were virtually unobtainable so all of the members of Hengrove Athletic F.C donated an ordinary white shirt and a mother of one of the players kindly dyed them green in the bath at her Knowle home. The colour green had no symbolic meaning. It was the only colour available at the time! The founding fathers of the club then agreed to retain these colours. A successful application was made to join the Bristol and Suburban League and they were placed in Division 3 for the start of 1948-49 season. A Reserve XI was then established in 1950 and in the same year Hengrove Hall was rented to hold club meetings and the social gatherings. The club continued to expand and the ‘A’ XI started in 1953, followed by the 30- plus XI in 1959. These four football teams made the club the largest in the Bristol and Subur- ban League at the time – after just eleven years. A ‘B’ XI replaced the 30 plus in 1962. The long search for a ground came to fruition on Sunday 7 June 1964 when Norton Lane was officially opened and Hengrove Athletic F.C took up residence. The first XI was accepted by the Somerset Senior League for the 1974-75 season, where they remained until 2005-2006 when they were runaway, unbeaten, Premier Division Champions and joined the Western League for the start of the 2006-07 season. Our floodlights and stand were installed at the ground in 2007-2008 to achieve the necessary ground grading of the Western League. The EWW Stand was installed at the ground in 2012- 2013 to enter the FA Cup and future possible promotions. The first XI finished runners-up in Western League Division One in 2012-2013, achieving promotion to the Premier Division for the first time. They then lifted the Les Phillips League Cup (Western League) in 2015-2016 before winning promotion to the Premier Division again in 2016/17. In 2017/18, the club finished ninth in the table, their highest position ever, and also the highest placed Bristol team at this level! The club have also hosted other teams including Bristol Premier Combination side De Veys and in recent seasons, have also agreed deals to become the new base for the Three Lions FC, Bristol Spartak and the junior teams of St Aldhelm’s. In the summer of 2020, the ground at Norton Lane was renamed the AVB Stadium. The club will celebrate their 75th anniversary in three years time, in 2023. Clubhouse Hire
