WELCOME! Hadley v Potton United Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division Saturday 16th February 2019 3.00pm, Brickfield Lane Good afternoon and welcome to this afternoon’s Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division game against Potton United FC. We hope their players, officials and supporters have an enjoyable short stay with us and have a safe journey home later. We also extend a very warm welcome to our three match officials, Matthew Ball (Ref), Dani Mansour (Ass Ref) + Steve Williams (Ass Ref). Potton visit us today currently sitting in 5th place in the league. In our earlier meeting this season, we won 2-0, in a close fought game and today will be also be a tight affair. We come into the game, proudly sitting at the top of the table, for a third consecutive week. With Biggleswade FC losing on Wednesday night at Baldock, a win today, would keep us top, and there can be no better incentive for the boys today. In our last game, we progressed to the semi final of the Herts Charity Shield, following a very good 1-0 win away at Welwyn Garden City - Ibrahim Camara with the goal. I would like to wish good luck to both sides this afternoon and hope all of you enjoy the game and get behind the Bricks!

Derek Inskip passed away in January having completed 50 years as Secretary And Terry King passed away in February—he was associated with the club for 40 years as player and then Manager. Reached Round Four of FA Vase before losing 2-1 at Bury Town. Finished runners-up to Cogenhoe United. A league match at Potton against Cogenhoe had to be abandoned due to floodlight failure and the rearranged match was the last of the season and Cogenhoe held on to a draw to secure the title by one point in front of a crowd over 300. Won League Knock Out Cup beating Woodford United in the final. Joint Managers Dick Newman and Roy Bloxham won 3 Manager of the Month awards as well as Manager of the Season award. Dick Newman resigned and was replaced by Ian Donnelly. 2006—Finished runners-up again, this time to Woodford United on goal difference. Roy Bloxham replaced Ian Donnelly as Manager and also bringing back Dick Newman as Assistant. 2007—Finished fourth in League and lost on penalties in Final of League Knock Out Cup to Boston Town. Roy Bloxham resigned as Manager and was replaced by Dean Chapman who had to build a new team as all of the first team had left to join other local clubs. We reached the Fourth Round of the FA Vase before losing 2-1 to eventual finalists AFC Totton. Finished fourth in league. 2008—After finishing our league programme early in April we had a nervous wait for other clubs to finish their programme of matches and escaped relegation by one point. Dean Chapman resigned as Manager and was replaced by Dean Shipp. Another rebuilding of the squad with the emphasis on youth and local players.
