Beaconsfield (Sthn Lg East) HARTLEY WINTNEY FC HISTORY Hartley Wintney Football Club History Hartley Wintney Football Club was founded in the North Hampshire village of Hartley Wintney in 1897 and played in an area adjacent to the village's golf and cricket clubs, the facilities not quite being up to today's standard, with only a horse trough or the pond to remove the heavy mud from a sub-standard pitch. The Club's nickname of 'The Row' comes from 'Hartley Row', a former hamlet within Hartley Wintney. In 1953, the club moved to its present ground in Green Lane, known as 'The Memorial Ground'. A pavilion was erected and the team played in the Basingstoke League and, later, in the Aldershot League. In 1973, an influx of players under new manager Glynn Howell put the club firmly on the local football map. In his six year reign, the team won the Aldershot Senior League three times in succession, and the Aldershot Senior Cup. After several seasons in the Aldershot Senior League, Hartley were admitted to the Combined Counties League (previously Surrey Senior League). After the first couple of seasons and two changes of management, the club appointed Ian Bedford, and once again an influx of senior players brought Hartley success. Within his three years in man- agement, they gained trophies including the League Title (1982-1983) and Runners Up (1981-1982), Aldershot Senior Cup Winners (1980-1981), and George Allen Cup Win- ners (1981-1982). They were also Runners Up in the League Cup (1982-1983) and Al- dershot Senior Cup (1981-1982). The club gained promotion from Division One of the Combined Counties League in 2007-08 under manager Mike Scott, but 08-09 began poorly and, despite a change of management, the season ended in relegation by a narrow margin. Under the manage- ment team of Pete Gray and John Condon, the first team rallied in 09-10, finishing 5th in CCL Div. 1, and 7th in season 10-11 under manager Louis King after Pete Gray had stepped down for family reasons. The 2011-12 season under manager Neville Roach, Assistant Mick Wollen and Coach Scott Tarr was a notable one for the club as they again achieved promotion to the Com- bined Counties League Premier Division, as well as having a fine FA Cup run that took them to the Third Qualifying Round. However, end-of-season celebrations were damp- ened when the coaching staff left to join Thatcham Town. The entire squad bar two players departed, so new manager Dave Tuttle was faced with the task of rebuilding a squad competitive enough for the CCL Premier. A string of poor results led to a second change in management in less than 4 months, with 24 year-old ex-Hartley player, Ben Dillon, given his first managerial position already deep into the 2012-13 season. Once again there was an almost total outflow of players from Tuttle's squad, and Ben, with assistants Jason Minton and Joe Lawler, set about rebuilding the squad, but by this time with Hartley set well adrift at the bottom of the table. The introduction of a talented group of players restored the spirit around the club, and in what became known as the club's 'Great Escape' season, Hartley Wintney's place in the CCL Premier was secured against all the odds after a truly remarkable second half of the season. HARTLEY WINTNEY FC HISTORY Ben further strengthened the squad for 2013-14, with Steve Saunders and player/coach Dan Brownlie brought in to the coaching setup alongside Jason and Joe. The season started well and there were notable wins in the FA Cup on a run that took the club to the 4th Qualifying Round for the first time in its history. The cup run took its toll on league form but the club finished a creditable 7th in the Premier Division. After a comfortable 9th place finish in 2014-15, Ben Dillon stepped down and Dan Brownlie and Anthony Millerick were appointed Joint First Team Managers, alongside coaches Joe Lawler and Luke Tuffs. With strong additions to the playing squad, it was an eventful 2015-16 season. After a memorable 1-0 win away at Southern League Mer- thyr Town in the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, Hartley took Conference South Eastbourne Borough to the wire, losing out to an injury time winner. In the FA Vase, a longstanding club record was broken by reaching the 5th Round Proper played in front of a sell-out 1,300 at Green Lane against the eventual finalists, Hereford FC. And de- spite the cup commitments, the club topped the CCL Premier Division for most of the season and claimed the 2015-16 league title. Promotion, however, was denied due to ground grading issues. Faced with huge challenges on and off the pitch - to achieve back-to-back title wins and put in place the necessary ground improvements to take advantage of any second op- portunity for promotion - the 2016-17 season was perhaps the club's best yet, topping the Combined Counties League Premier Division for the entire season, reaching the semi-finals of the Hampshire senior county cup and the final of the Aldershot Senior Cup, and securing the required ground grading to allow the club to take its place in The Evo-Stik (Southern) League South; the first time in its history that the club has made it to Step 4 of the English football pyramid. To top off a wonderful 2016-17 season, our young Youth team won the Hampshire FA Youth Midweek Floodlit Cup, winning on penalties against a strong Aldershot Town U18. Hartley Wintney FC has come a long way, from 'village side' in every sense of the term, to today's 7 days a week modern football club. The football club has established a clear line of progression for young players with the establishment of an U18 Youth setup, currently playing in the Allied Counties Youth League, a Reserve team playing in the Suburban League, and an A Team playing in the Aldershot & District Football League.

Tonight we face our local rivals Hartley Wintney for the very first time at this level in an Evo-Stik South East Division fixture. I hope everyone visiting us has a good time, enjoys the game and a safe journey home. I would especially like to extend a very warm welcome to everyone from H.W.F.C tonight. Having had some very enjoyable times at the club as a player, I am pleased they are doing so well over the last few years but that will be on hold for 90 odd minutes tonight whilst the game is in progress though ! Hartley are having a fantastic season, which continues on from ‘back to back’ League titles in the Combined Counties. The club is where it should be now and I hope this continues for years to come. They have got a great chance of making the play offs and have had good runs in both major Cup competitions. It’s always good to have a proper derby match at this time of year and I fully expect both teams to go out and give every effort to make it a game to remember. Millers and Dan Brownlie, their joint Managers have really made great progress with the club and when you look at the players they are attracting then you have to take your hat off to them.

With this being the last home game of the season. I don't want to look back on what might have been. Whatever happens regarding the league we will be in next season I know that the club is now secure and looking to build for the future. This season has had various challenges for us with league moves early on to managers leaving, players leaving and challenges that are faced on a regular basis with the day to day running which I have had to undertake alongside my own full time job together with managing the team. We can make a whole list of excuses on why we are in this position but instead of looking at all of these, I want to move forward and look to the future. We have a young talented team that have learned a great deal this season that will develop further alongside new signings that are planned over the summer. This will show our intent to get this great club back to winning games consistently. We have some exciting steps which we are taking that we will be able to let people know about after the game today in a Q&A with myself and the coaching team, this will take place in The Clubhouse at around 5.45pm.

  • Fleet Town V Hartley Wintney Programme
    OFFICIAL DIGITAL PROGRAMME FLEET TOWN v HARTLEY WINTNEY TUESDAY 13th FEBRUARY 2018 – 7.45 P.M The Evo-Stik League South East Our Captain Matt Bunyan Fleet Town Squad 2017/18 SPONSORED BY WELCOME FROM OUR JOINT MANAGER STEVE DORMER Good evening and welcome to the Franki Foundation Stadium to our neighbours Hartley Witney. They have had a tremendous start to the season and currently sit in the play-off position after a good result away to AFC Dunstable. I have nothing but admiration for the management team on and off the field at Hartley for what they have achieved so far. I think a lot of people probably feel they are over achieving, but not me, they have a great togetherness and dressing room, and with that bond I’m not surprised at all where they currently sit in this division. “Well done guys.” What we are trying to achieve at Fleet Town is very similar however we are three years behind our neighbours, but they are clearly our benchmark. On Saturday we put in a poor first half display against Aylesbury Utd and should have been more than one nil down, however we dug in and rode our luck. Going down to ten men before half time didn’t help but we made substitutions, changed the shape and decided to sit tight for the first 20 mins After that we went for it to try and get back into the game and we came close towards the end. If we show the same character this evening as we did against Aylesbury in the second half this evening’s game will be a close one.
