Over the years we've had some great games and its good to see our friends from their Committee, Management Team and supporters . On the pitch we've had a pretty good run . Wins over Beckenham Town and Erith & Belvedere in the league were soured by a shocking display at Sheppey in the FA Cup. Last week we went to Guildford in the FA Vase and recorded a 3-0 win . We played really well for large parts of the match and hopefully we can maintain that sort of form. In the last couple of weeks both Manager Peter Sweeney and Assistant Phil Wilson have left the club. I’d like to thank them for the efforts put in over the last few months and wish them success in the future. I've been covering the dug-out ably assisted by Scott Kinch for the last couple of matches . I'm thoroughly enjoying my ‘temporary’ stay and the players have been fantastic to work with . Without advertising, I've have been inundated with applicants for the Manager's role. The Directors have met and we know exactly the type of person needed . We will not be rushing into making a new appointment, but like wise, it won't be months . Congratulations to Glebe Under 18s on their victory in the FA Youth Cup this week. They beat East Grinstead 3-1 .Our under 12s won the Bomlieans pre season tournament on Sunday. Well Done . I hope you have a great afternoon and with a bit of luck we'll have a few more points at 5 o'clock Rocky CONDOLENCES On behalf of Glebe FC, we would like to extend our condolences to Manuel Kacurri, one of our U12 players, whose father recently passed away. Our deepest sympathies are with Drita, Manuel, Maldini and Matilda at this very sad time.

From humble beginnings with just 1 U8 team, the club has progressed at various stages, today hosting over 20 Junior Teams, 1 Vets Side, 1 Ladies Senior Side, and of course the First XI. We now have over 300 club members. We are based in Chislehurst Kent, with 15 acres of grounds comprising of . 5 pitches, a new stadium pitch, floodlit training area, multi‐purpose gym and a modern bar and reception rooms It hasn't always been easy. For years Glebe were nomads, winning every Junior Trophy that could be won, including 10 London County Cups at various ages, but never seemingly able to find 'a home of its own'. However, we never gave up and moved into our 'New Home 'in September 2014. Also in 2014 Glebe FC won the prestigious 'London FA Standard Charter Community Club of the Year Award', voted by the Executive Committee of the London FA. After progressing through the age groups and becoming a regular feature in Kent Youth Leagues, it was decided by the Committee, back in 2010, to form a Senior Section. We are now in our 5th Season. The initial 2 years we ground-shared at Holmesdale FC. When Old Elthamians Rugby Club experienced differences with the Land- lords, we were quick off the mark and signed a 25 year lease at Foxbury Avenue. With the help of the FSIF (Football Stadia Improve- ment Fund), we have built a stadium which we are really proud of. Glebe FC continues to make new friends in its venture as a Senior Club. Having narrowly missed out on promotion in 2015/16 (where the winners of Sheppey v Glebe went up) Glebe went on to win step 6 by 12 points in 2016/17 as well as Runners Up in the London Senior Trophy. This is our third season in the Premier Division We have a brief yet exciting history as a Senior Club, which follows an exceptional history as a Junior Club. Hopefully more trophies will be add- ed in the years to come, in addition to the Cups and League success.
