Hopper & Son Non-League Challenge Trophy HOPPER & SON NON-LEAGUE CHALLENGE TROPHY Looking for a non-league football fix? Run out of things to do? Head over to the blog below and read what Trevor Knell has to say, you will find a range of articles from Step 1-6 and much more: www.footballwriting.blog Alternatively find me on Facebook under my company name where I am available for any football article writing you would like published: www.facebook.com/TKEnterprises2019 For any queries or ideas please email me at the address below: [email protected] INTRO Following on from the overriding success of the virtual FA Cup we ran from mid March to early May, the easy thing to do would’ve been to draw a line under it and call it a day. I though ‘It’s not going to be bettered.’ ‘We’re not going to get anyway near it.’ ‘Clubs aren’t going to want to do it again.’ The harder thing to do would be to reimagine it as something completely different, bigger and better. Guess which route we took? The Hopper & Son Non-League Challenge Trophy was born long before the completion of our virtual FA Cup. One of the trickier parts to our original competition was the necessary omission of 100-200 Step 6 clubs due to the limited number of entrants that the FA Cup offers. Those that missed out included some of the fantastic clubs we’d visited in the past and, although they may never have know and, even if they did, they may not have cared, I felt bad. In addition, non-league doesn’t end with Step 6. At Step 7 there is an abundance of famous clubs, and there are more in Step 8 although it does begin to get a little diluted with reserve teams at this stage. So the decision was made to create a bespoke non-league competition that ran from Step 1 to Step 7 (a few from Step 8/9 were invited to make up the numbers). The competition would have seven initial rounds, which served as a precursor to a ‘finals’ competition where the last 32 were drawn into a group stage akin to the World Cup Finals with the top 2 in each progressing to the knockout stages. It took a fair bit of planning to ensure that the calculations for each round worked out with different clubs com- ing into the competition at different stages, similar to the FA Cup. In total 1,408 teams were involved. 452 Step 7 sides kicked off the competition in Round 1, with Steps 4, 5 and 6 joining in Round 2. Step 3 arrived in Round 4, Step 2 in Round 5 and Step 1 in Round 6. The first batch of Round 1 matches were tweeted out on Monday May 4th and almost immediately the reaction surpassed that of the FA Cup. The average number of votes per tie on the first day was 86.76, compared to 57.35 on the first day of our FA Cup. These were all Step 7 clubs who had not participated in our previous competition, so to say I was blown away would have been an understatement. Since then, and prior to the group stages, some 220,235 votes have been cast at an average of 31,462 per round and 160.05 per game, of which there have been 1,376 so far. The support has been tremendous and has made the competition extremely exciting to follow. Right now, I’m really excited to see how the Group Stages and beyond pan out. Like the FA Cup, this competition has introduced us to new clubs, new people and whole load of new grounds we’d now love to visit, in addition to the hundreds we already have in mind. When football comes back for real, I cannot wait to start visiting some of these places and meeting some of these people. There are some excellent clubs who have made it through to the Final 32, and whilst there are two, in Barnet and Bromley, who admittedly I’d rather have seen defeated, the fact that they have made it this far should mean that they will still be competitive, even if their official Twitter accounts won’t be getting involved. It’s very difficult to predict what will happen and I hope I’m not going to offend anyone with any predictions that I have made! I genuinely feel that anyone can beat anyone so the next three weeks should be very exciting. Good luck to everyone involved but most of all, thank you so much for getting involved, taking part and making this competition as fun as it has been to run.

Tonight, we welcome East Thurrock for a Pitching-In Isthmian Premier League game with both teams needing the 3 points to climb away from the bottom of the table. Our Visitors sit one point below us in 21st with 5 points from their first 9 games. We are coming off the back of a 4-2 away win against Aylesbury in the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy, with new signing Norman Wabo and Noel Leighton each scoring a brace for the Gate. Our reward is a home tie against Burgess Hill Town, with the date TBC as the FA consider the impact of the new national lockdown. The Club were also delighted to announce the signing of attacking midfielder Dominic Vose who joins Saunders from Kingstonian having previously played for Bromley, Whitehawk and Dulwich Hamlet. His registration was confirmed yesterday, and he is available for selection tonight. As we move into a unprecedented period for everyone we are awaiting further guidance from the Isthmian League and the FA as to what the schedule will look like for the remainder of the season. We hope to share this with you soon, but in the meantime let’s all get behind Jay and the players and enjoy the game tonight to the fullest, as it may be our last for a little while! #TimeForHeroes The Gate have a home draw in the next round of the FA Trophy.

Here we are in mid-February and this is our second encounter of the season which is taking place just 7 days after the away version as a result of the recent weather. That game was not one of our better ones and we went down by the only goal of a very disappointing game to a club under new management for several times this season. Recent weather has not been too kind but last Saturday we did manage to get a game played at table=topper Ware on their excellent artificial surface and we came away with a point following a spirited showing as just reward. Unfortunately, Alex Salmon picked up another injury and must be considered doubtful for tonight’s game but on the positive side he was replaced by Chris Ovenden who managed to carry on through to the end and is now looking well on the road to recovery himself.
