A VERY WARM WELCOME TO YOU ALL And particularly to the officials, players and supporters of Slough Town who are here this evening for this Berks & Bucks Senior Cup semi-final tie. It has been a while since our paths last crossed with Slough having progressed through the leagues to the heights of the Conference South where they currently sit in a comfortable position in the league table, whilst we are looking to the possibility of perhaps taking a step up in the footballing world this season if we can continue with a run of good results in the remaining weeks of the season. In the other semi-final last week Reading Under 23’s eventually overcame Maidenhead United via the penalty route to gain their place in the final and tonight’s winners will join them in the final at a venue to be announced on the 6th May. We come into this game following a very disappointing performance and result at Hertford Town last Saturday – but at least we took a point from the game so it could have been worse! Having taken a very early lead through a Charlie Samuel free kick we them proceeded to miss some good chances and then conceded dubious penalty in the second half. All seemed to be Ok result-wise when Marcus Mealing scored with a superb free kick in the dying minutes but a 95th minute volley evened the scores once again and so it finished. Slough meanwhile were winning away at table-toppers Woking to gain an excellent 3 points and so come into this game in excellent form. Many thanks for coming this evening and now for my usual closing plea to get behind the lads and support at all times – it really does make a difference and will do throughout the season! Terry Staines, Chairman

FROM THE DUGOUT Today I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all concerned with, my second team in Non-League, Slough Town. I’m hoping all concerned have an enjoyable evening before drowning their sorrows in the bar with the aid of some of Rebellion Brewery’s finest. We come into the game off the back of a tough 2-2 away draw at Hertford Town on Saturday. Whilst not trying to gloss over, what was, a below par performance from us, I feel as though all things considered a point was not a bad outcome for our efforts. We just never quite clicked, and I think we are all keen to get back out there and get back to our usual performance levels. Over the last few weeks we’ve managed to keep 4 clean sheets in our last 5 games, and we will need that defensive steel if we are to progress. We know that tonight we will probably need our best performance of the season, to have a chance of progressing, and there will be no margin for error. Clearly Slough, plying their trade two divisions above us, will start as favourites but we will relish the opportunity to test ourselves against players of this level. There are some top-drawer players amongst the opposition ranks tonight, but we believe that we are capable of producing another night like we did against MK Dons, and shocking everyone. As always, the support and encouragement from the Marlow faithful will be essential, and I know we can rely on you for that. Hopefully, at the end of the night we will have pulled off another shock and will be celebrating a victory. However, the very least we should expect is a performance you can all be proud of. All the best, Barts

THE BOSTIK LEAGUE SOUTH CENTRAL ROUND-UP
The match of the day here was the arrival of second place Bracknell Town at leaders Hayes & Yeading United. It promised to be close, and so it turned out, but the home side won by the only goal of the game, Toby Little getting it from the spot midway through the second half as Hayes went seventeen points clear. Third placed Marlow arrived at Hertford Town to face a revamped squad under yet another management team, and quickly took advantage of any confusion that may exist, Charlie Samuel giving them a second minute lead. New Town striker Charncey Dash was their saviour, however, scoring twice after the break- the second in the last minute to earn a point after Marcus Mealing had put Marlow ahead once more. Marlow remain third, Hertford are seventeenth. Fourth place Cheshunt travelled to a Tooting & Mitcham United side who retained their playoff pretentions, but the Ambers went ahead on thirty-nine minutes through Brian Moses. The lead lasted only two minutes, Danny Bassett drawing the Terrors level- but the Ambers eased ahead once more after the break through Shane Cojocarel, and held onto their lead until full time. Fifth place Westfield were shocked at Bedfont Sports. The sides went in at nil-nil, but Sports got three in the second half, Kiye Martin, Didi Ndombe and Charlie Postance with the goals which lifted them to twelfth. We had a clash of the not-quite-titans at Runnymede, as Egham Town, surely doomed to relegation already, entertained South THE BOSTIK LEAGUE SOUTH CENTRAL ROUND-UP Park, still desperate to get out of the bottom two. Charlie Pitcher put the visitors ahead after eight minutes, and after the break Daniel Uchechi and Sam Remfry made it 3-0. The Sarnies are fourteen points from safety, but Sparks are outside the bottom three for now as Molesey fell 3-1 at Hanwell Town. A double from Gareth Chendlik and a third from Brian Testolin was enough to give the points to the Geordies, despite Nicolas Osborne scoring for the Moles. Another side who needed points to climb away from the trapdoor are FC Romania, and they took the lead against Waltham Abbey through Cosmin Miron. Sadly for the Wolves, an own goal after the break and a winner from Nathan Koranteng left them with nothing, and the Abbotts in seventh. Chipstead entertained Ware, and went ahead six minutes before the break, Sam Bell with the goal. They couldn’t hold onto that lead, however- two goals in two minutes through Dave Cowley and Brandon Adams, followed by another from Adams, sending Ware into sixth. Northwood travelled to Chalfont St Peter and took an early lead, through Ben Pattie in the ninth minute, and although Jack Read got a very late goal for the Saints, Woods already had their second by then, Zaied Sabti finding the net. Ashford Town fell to a late David Thomas penalty as Uxbridge took the points in West London and climbed to fourteenth.
SLOUGH TOWN – CLUB HISTORY The management partnership of Neil Baker and Jon Underwood have now completed five seasons with the club and prepare for the first season in the Vanarama National League South. In their first term back in 2014, Slough Town won the play-offs the hard way, to win promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. Two seasons of consolidation followed and 2016/17 saw Slough make a play-off place losing out to Leamington. A very strong run-in from Slough saw the Rebels finish in third place to earn a play-off place. Ironically, they beat Kettering in the semi-final, the same team defeated in 2014, and a tremendous fight back at King’s Lynn saw Slough win promotion again by 2-1. So, 20 years after losing their place in the National competition Slough return. Everyone is exciting at the prospect of some new exciting encounters. As November 2017 ended, Slough were riding high with some outstanding displays to look back on. Coming back to win 5-4 at Merthyr Town was incredible and the Rebel fans present said this was the best performance of the season. Some others preferred the 6-0 away win at Gainsborough, then in the National league North, in the First Round of the FA Cup. Perhaps the pressure was too much and the club bowed out of the League Cup at Hayes & Yeading and also in the replayed FA Trophy game with Hendon. Everyone waited for the visit of Rochdale. Despite being out-muscled it was a great occasion for the club and the visitors managed to avoid the drop from League One. In February Slough hit a sticky patch and drew and lost as many games as they won, and Slough slipped away in the league table and it began to look like they would fall out of the play-off positions. However, in a heavy fixture schedule, Slough went on to win nine of the last ten SLOUGH TOWN – CLUB HISTORY matches plus a home draw with King’s Lynn to finish in third spot. It is fair to say that visiting King’s Lynn has not resulted in happy journeys home. And so with Lynn finishing second they were favourites to win the game. A very large crowd estimated at over 3,500 attended and there were long delays to get in causing a late kick-off. The Linnets went 1-0 up within 26 minutes and for a brief spell looked to be in a great position. The Slough side held their nerve and gradually took control of the game and just before half-time Chris Flood levelled it. In the second period, both sides were anxious not to concede, and just as everyone was preparing for extra time, Slough made another big push, and many Williams scored again with just two minutes left. The Slough fans had out sung the homesters all the way and now they really let rip. This was a dream come true and Slough were going up! The season will long be remembered for the epic FA Cup run which was the equivalent of a Premier League club reaching the Final. It cannot be said that Slough had an easy draw. Starting at Berkhamsted winning 3-1, they defeated Dulwich 3-2 at home, Poole 2-1 at home, Folkestone 1-0 at home before winning 6-0 in Lincolnshire. Once Rochdale scored their first goal at Arbour Park, the result was not really in doubt. Five years earlier, in 2012/13 Slough had another spectacular FA Cup run, only losing to eventual Conference winners, Mansfield Town, on penalties after 210 minutes of closely fought football in the First Round. In 2004 Slough reached the Second Round by defeating Walsall 2-1 in the First Round matching their success over Millwall in the 1980s. During the last thirty years or so the Rebels enjoyed reaching the FA Cup Proper Rounds regularly, playing Wycombe Wanderers, Romford, Brentford, Reading (twice), Hungerford Town, Yeovil Town, Millwall (victory of Millwall being legendary with local boy Gary Attrell living a few hundred metres from the ground scoring the winning goal), Bishop’s Stortford, Cardiff City, Leyton Orient, Plymouth Argyle, Torquay Athletic, Macclesfield Town, Birmingham City, Swansea City, Macclesfield Town, Walsall (another SLOUGH TOWN – CLUB HISTORY local hero Glen Harris a schoolteacher netting the winner after Walsall levelled Ian Hodges’ first), Mansfield Town, Yeading, Bromley and Harrogate Railway. The attendance at St. Andrews for the Birmingham match was 13,394, the second largest audience for Slough, after the Wembley appearance in the Amateur Cup Final in 1973 that was estimated as 41,000. Slough Town’s origins have been taken as 1889, but more recent research shows their first fixture being played sixteen years earlier in 1873 against Windsor Albion. At that time, the youths of Slough were named as the Slows, before re-naming as Slough Rangers under the same leadership of Mr Sargeant the Club Secretary in 1876. By 1883 the club had merged with the Slough Cricket Club and were playing fixtures as Slough Athletic. The clubs separated in 1888 and the football section sought to merge with other local clubs to form a stronger club, including Slough Albion, Young Men’s Friendly Society and the Ottos. It is supposed for this reason that the formation of the club is taken from that time. Slough Ramblers were to merge later, but other clubs including Chalvey never made the plunge, so Slough & District FC never came about. The newly named, Slough F.C. continued to play their home games at the Dolphin, which was shared with the Swifts, F. A. Cup Semi-Finalists. It is likely that The Swifts name influenced the original name of the Slough club (Slows) as they started regular fixtures in Slough at this time. There have been suggestions that the Swifts merged with Slough, but this never happened and the Swifts can be shown playing games until 1893 when they merged with the Corinthians. They are now part of Corinthian Casuals. Slough entered the first league competition in the South of the country that included Tottenham Hotspurs among others drawing 3-3 at home in the league and losing 5-2 away. Slough tried for membership of the Southern League in the 1800s but were unsuccessful. Slough entered league competition again in 1901 when they entered the Berks & SLOUGH TOWN – CLUB HISTORY Bucks Senior League and continued there until 1905. Slough did not finish above half way in any of these seasons. In 1905 Slough joined the Great Western Surburban League finishing sixth out of ten clubs. They went one better the following season, but by and large Slough were near bottom every year until 1913. Slough re-appeared after the First World War and in 1921 the club lost out by a narrow margin of votes to Wycombe Wanderers in an effort to obtain membership of the Isthmian League. Disappointed with this decision the club decided to join the Spartan League instead where it remained until the outbreak of World War II. In 1943, Slough amalgamated with Slough Centre F.C. and playing at Belfast Avenue, a new name of Slough United was adopted and were successful against top amateur sides in this period. During the first post war years the club became the first English club to play a friendly match against European opposition when Hilversum HVV t’Gooi came to the Centre Stadium in 1945, a game that was filmed by British Gaumont News shown at cinemas all over the land. Slough led a move to create the Corinthian League. It was because of this action that Slough United became known as the 'Rebels'. Slough adopted the present style of Slough Town during 1947/48. In 1950/51, Slough Town achieved its first league championship when beating second placed Hounslow Town by 2-0 at the Dolphin in front of over five thousand spectators. The Corinthian League merged with the Athenian League in 1963 and the Rebels were promoted into that competition’s Premier Division in 1965. At this time Slough Town were one of the strongest non-league clubs in the south of England under Bob Gibbs. During the season 1967-68, total attendances exceeding more than sixty three thousand were recorded at the Dolphin. Tommy Lawrence took over the reins at the Dolphin in 1970 and the 'Rebels' were able to field eight amateur internationals on a regular basis winning the Athenian title in 1971-72 and 1972-73 They were SLOUGH TOWN – CLUB HISTORY semi-finalists in the Amateur Cup in 1972 and then finalists in 1973 losing to a very late goal at Wembley. In 1973 the club became part of Division One of the Isthmian League, won promotion in the first season. In 1974 Slough moved to a new ground, Wexham Park Stadium, which was hastily built by the members and supporters. The club flourished at this time winning the championship in 1980-81 and again in 1989-90, having finished in the top three for a number of seasons prior to the last. Thus the club was promoted to the GM Vauxhall Conference. In 1991 the club was forced into receivership. The club was immediately purchased by a consortium. The next season, under the management of Dave Kemp, and after chasing Wycombe Wanderers to the championship throughout the season in the final weeks the club fell away a little to finish fifth. At the end of that campaign Kemp left to take over at Crystal Palace. At the end of the following season Slough Town was relegated during the final two minutes when Merthyr Tydfil scored a very late winner. Disappointingly Slough returned to the Diadora League but they were immediately returned to the Conference as runners up at the end of the following season. At the end of 1997-98 the Rebels were semi-finalists in the FA Trophy for the second time losing 2-1 on aggregate to Southport. Finishing in eighth place after completing the double over Kidderminster Harriers, the consortium decided that they could not support the ground requirements for Slough Town to maintain their position in Step One. Relegated to the Ryman League and playing at Windsor, it was a struggle to survive and by 2008 playing at Beaconsfield the club had a reprieve from dropping to step 5. A new Chairman, Steve Easterbrook, saw stability return to the club and the club’s fortunes improved so that the play-offs were reached on three occasions between 2010 and 2012 under manager Steve Bateman.
