My welcome extends to the management team, players, club officials and supporters of today’s opponents. I hope you all enjoy today’s game and have a safe journey home.
I’ve said publicly before that Hastings for me were the best footballing side we played last season by a long way. Even though we beat them twice, on the way out of the Pilot Field last season for sure we were embarrassed to take all the points. And at home we had to battle like our lives depended on it, but were worthy winners - just! - on the day.
Our opponents have started very well again this season and we’ll have to be at our very best to add to our points tally today. Chris Team Manager and Peter have done a fantastic job, but hopefully their Shaun unbeaten run ends today. Saunders is sponsored by: We ourselves have worked very hard this week, and off the back of a solid result against a very well organised Bracknell side, are hoping to start a good run in the Veterans league, fingers crossed!

www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/haywards-heath-town-fc FoundationConnor Saunders #onepunchcankill CONNOR’S STORY Connor Charles Edward Saunders was born on Thursday 25th March 1993 at 3.04am weighing 9lb 6oz.
Connor was a contented baby full of lots of smiles and giggles. He started to walk at 9 months and kicked a football at 11 months and never stopped.
He started pre-school making a special and unique friendship with Frankie (Cocozza) and Lee (James). Connor was a shy little boy but loved interacting with children and adults. These friendships and bonds continued throughout his life.
He went onto infants and quickly became a star pupil, often coming home with gold stars. At junior school, he became a member of the student council and we spent every parents evening with huge, beaming smiles as all the teachers heaped praise on our boy. This praise we would hear all through his schooling years but we never got tired of hearing it.
Football was one of Connor’s passions and throughout his life he played for Melford FC, Whitehawk FC Youth, Longhill, Withdene and Peacehaven Under 18s. He was a highly skilled player but was totally passionate about the game – playing or watching it.
The other passion of Connor’s was family; he truly loved birthdays and especially Christmas where the whole family would be together. He loved our unit of 5 and he truly completed our family, making it what it is today.
What made Connor was special was the many qualities he had as a human. He was kind, caring, compassionate, loyal, gentle, loving, non-judgemental, funny, generous, positive, honest, handsome and was never afraid to laugh at himself.
We looked back at his life and can honestly say that every single second he was around; he was a joy to be with.
Until 14 April 2012 when it felt all the lights were turned off in our world.
Connor was out for a night with his friends when he was hit in an unprovoked attack and with just one punch, Connor was taken from us. In that one senseless attack, our worlds and hearts were smashed into a trillion pieces.
We spend every day as a family, trying to piece our lives and hearts back together and one way we have done this is by starting the foundation in Connor’s name.
When he left our house, he had his whole life ahead of him – full of opportunities and possibilities, with his disposition seeing the best in everyone and everything. We have taken the lead from Connor in this respect, ensuring that his legacy continues to keep caring for people and keep his legacy, spirit and character alive in the way we do our work – raising awareness on the impacts of violence and promoting peace, using hands to help rather than hurt.
Connor made the world a better place just by being in it.
The work of his Foundation ensures that his light burns bright and his work continues to this day. Visit www.connors5.com for more information about the foundation and our work.

The second half saw the hosts shuffle formation and Heath ease back from the high press that they played in the first half, as with other Velocity Cup matches rafts of substitutions were were made throughout often leading to a disjointed half.
The hosts were far improved in the second half as they went in search of an goal and Glover had to be on his toes several times to read or react to the situation, at the other end the hosts managed to get men behind the ball to shut down Heath attacks with limited chances threatening the hosts goal.
There would be no further goals as Heath recorded a win at East Court and more importantly their second clean sheet of the season.

Blues 2, Bracknell Town 1 Nico Cotton puts in a tackle Saturday Oct 12th 2019 FA Trophy Preliminary Round
Keeper Luke Glover keeps making the headlines this season and today turned from villain to hero in 30 minutes.
Heath are through to the next round of the Buildbase FA Trophy thanks to keeper Luke Glover’s 88th minute winner.
In an even first half neither keeper were really tested in difficult playing conditions at Hanbury Stadium, Bracknell did have the ball in the net but not for the first time solid back line that Heath struggled after 51 minutes when a corner in the game a goal was ruled out to find a way through, Bracknell was headed clear dropped to for offside. would break fast and well but only Byron Napper who sent the half tested Glover once where he saved volley into the top of the net. An early chance almost from well along the floor from a effort kick off from Byron Napper was from distance. Heath almost doubled their lead the only real save of the first 45 just two minutes later but Bracknell minutes for the visitors keeper Heath up the intensity in the survived the scare when Trevor as the Bracknell back four held a second half and were rewarded McCreadie turned well in the box but the covering defender Dan Brown cleared off the line with the keeper beaten.
The lead was only short lived however as Dan Carr’s effort from 18 yards on 58 minutes somehow went under Glover in the Heath goal when the keeper knew he should have done better.
After the error Bracknell Town really pressed forwards in search of a winner several chances came and went and Glover in the Heath goal had to pull off a good stop from distance to keep the score level.
Heath also made changes to with Melford Simpson coming on to add Josh Spinks and Tom Summerfield battle away his height and physicality to the match. Heath did have the ball in

the net from Josh Spinks but again the assistant referee had raised Ryan Warwick knocks the ball past a defender his flag and the bullet header was chalked off.
With the match heading towards a replay it was Luke Glover who turned from Villain to Hero as he sent a long kick down field that skipped off the surface and over Sonny Wheeler for an unlikely winner.
Heath held on the added time onslaught from the visitors to book a place in the next round.
