NORTHWOOD V HAREFIELD UNITED Middlesex Senior Charity Cup Second Round Tuesday 4Th December 2018 - Kick-Off 7.45Pm WELCOME to NORTHWOOD Woods The Official Matchday Programme of NORTHWOOD FC - ISSUE 13 NORTHWOOD v HAREFIELD UNITED Middlesex Senior Charity Cup Second Round Tuesday 4th December 2018 - Kick-off 7.45pm WELCOME TO NORTHWOOD ello, and welcome back to The Acretweed Stadium this evening; welcome to our supporters new and old, and to all connected with our near neighbours Harefield United HFC; we trust they enjoy their stay with us, and have a safe journey home later. This evening’s fixture is a Middlesex Senior Charity Cup second round tie, this being the first time in six years that we have entered the competition. Three times over the years we have reached the final of this cup, though we are still awaiting our first success at that stage, having lost at the ultimate stage in 1994, 2003, 2005 and 2012. That most recent final reverse will remain in the minds of those Woods supporters who watched the game – we led Ashford Town 3-0 before being pulled back to 4-4 and then losing on penalties; not the club’s finest hour!! The heavy rain at the weekend took its toll of the pitch here, resulting in the postponement of our Bostik League South Central fixture against Chalfont St Peter. Hopefully this evening’s game will go ahead without a problem; no rain was forecasted for today so we should be good to go… The last home fixture to go ahead, over a fortnight ago, saw the points shared with Hertford Town in a 1-1 draw, but it was a game that the Woods should have won, particularly as we missed a last- minute penalty. A promising performance nevertheless, followed by a good 3-2 win at Chipstead last weekend, including two goals from youngster Kyran Worrell. Each of those games also featured a goal from new signing Andrew Ofosu, so a good start with the club for him. Not such a good result at Bedfont Sports last Tuesday evening, unfortunately! Despite a generally good performance by the Woods, missed chances, free headers presented to the home side and a late penalty resulted in a clear-cut 0-3 defeat. Hopefully we shall see Bostik League table the lads bounce back with a win this evening!

A warm welcome to our visitors. We have already faced up against Harefield this season, a 3-1 defeat at Preston Park, which saw both teams reduced to 10 men and ourselves going down to 9 at one point. This afternoon, we hope for better, with ourselves being unbeaten in 7 in the league and having lost just once in 12 games (all comps). On Tuesday, we played out a 2-2 draw against Eynesbury Rovers. Another point gained as we climb to 11th in the league, despite us being 2-0 up courtesy of a Danny Webb brace. What a season that man is having. Bleacher Report and ESPN shared his goal against Tring on their social media accounts. A massive feet for us, with the total view count of that goal at around 500,000. For context, that is 5 and a half Wembley Stadium's. Crazy numbers. Coming up this week, we travel to Shefford & Campton on Tuesday in the 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.

  • TUFFLEY ROVERS VS. HAREFIELD UNITED TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2020 / 7:45Pm KICK OFF
    TUFFLEY ROVERS VS. HAREFIELD UNITED TUESDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2020 / 7:45pm KICK OFF THE EMIRATES FA CUP EXTRA PRELIMINARY ROUND OFFICIAL PROGRAMME 20/21 01 EDITOR’S COMMENT Welcome to everyone visiting Glevum Park this afternoon, for our first game of the 2020/21 season. We start with an Emirates FA Cup, Extra Preliminary Round tie and I’d like to offer a warm welcome to the visiting players and club officials, as well as any visiting supporters. Away supporters might be few in number, as Harefield United face a 200 mile round-trip to Glevum Park tonight. We exited this, the greatest cup competition in the world, at this stage last year, as we were beaten, after a replay, by a team from the same league, North Greenford United, so we know that today we will meet challenging opposition. The year before we lost to another Spartan South Midland Premier Division team, Colney Heath, and so I’m sure Coxy will be hoping it is “third time lucky” as we look to book a home tie against Leighton Town or Abingdon United in the next round. The last season ended with something of a whimper, just as we were finding form, due to the Covid-19 pandemic but, if truth be told, 2019/20 was a pretty awful season for many clubs, with the weather, then the virus putting paid to our campaigns. Unlike twelve months ago, the squad has a very familiar feel to it, despite the change in our management team, and that is reassuring. The last two FA Cup exits have come at a time when our squad has been going through an evolutionary phase and when I look back on the defeat to North Greenford 12 months ago, the squad is unrecognisable.
