NEEDHAM MARKET 0 v BIGGLESWADE TOWN 1 Report by Mike Draxler Well it is getting close to Christmas, the green army out in force, resplendent in green and white Santa hats, making most of the noise. The football for the first 30 minutes as good as we have seen from a Wader's team, the passing and interplay a joy to watch. Creating chances and I guess a need to learn to take the chances quicker. A rasping shot from Charlie Pattison midway through the half brought out the best from the home keeper, Marcus Garnham, tipping the spinning ball over the bar. Needham had their moments and looked dangerous but the cool guy between the posts Kyle Forster, his positional play exemplary, was a safe pair of hands. Lewis Ferrell has really shown his ability in the back line with a strong performance in this new Biggleswade team. Matt Ball taking the "senior" responsibility he enjoys. At the break on a chilly afternoon 0--0 and all to play for. Out for the second period with the Waders still pressing looking for the elusive break. Needham did not offer too much and with Ferrell, Richardson, Stanley and Panter coping with the occasional attacks it was left to Lucan, Williams and Charles to try to break the deadlock. A Needham free kick just outside the box from Adam Mills was spilled with Craig Parker on hand to put the ball away, disappointment for the home side as the goal was ruled out, offside. As the match drew to a close, what better time to score than 89, a ball slid through by Matt Ball to Dylan Wil- liams who beat the keeper from short range. With 5 added minutes to repair the damage Needham did not increase the threat level and the Waders won out with the single goal, although Trey Charles had a great effort saved deep into injury time which could have doubled the lead. This new Waders team are proving them- selves just a little bit good and not the " no hopers" most in football circles thought they would be. Mom Lewis Ferrell. History of Alvechurch FC The earliest mention of a Football Club in Alvechurch dates back to 1913 when a team called Alvechurch Juniors was recorded. By the 1920s, the team were known as Alvechurch Swifts and were playing football on Crown Meadow and using the Red Lion Inn as their headquarters. They were a suc- cessful team winning the Redditch Cup and Shield in 1924. In 1994 a dedicated band of supporters resurrected the club as Alvechurch Villa, rebuilding the seated stand and refurbishing the clubhouse to gain ad- mission to the Midland Combination Premier Division, finishing in fifth posi- tion in the league and beaten finalists in the Smedley Crook Cup. The team went onto reach the League Cup Final the following season, only to lose out to League Champions Bloxwich Town. In 1996 the club reverted back to its original name and became simply, Al- vechurch F.C. 2017/18 saw the club promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One South and achieve back to back promotions, finishing runners up to Basford United and gaining promotion to Step 3 at the first attempt. 2018/19 with the re-organisation of Non-league at steps 3-4, the club com- peted in the new Southern League Premier Division Central. After finishing 4th, they beat Stourbridge 2-1 in the play-off semi-final, before losing to Kings Lynn Town 3-0 in the final. They also beat Redditch United pre-season, to claim the Worcester Senior Cup for the first time since 1977. 2019/20 unfortunately, as a result of the success the club has achieved over the last 4 years under Ian Longs reign, and Stourbridge losing their manager following the play off semi-final defeat, our management team decided to move to the Glassboys, taking the majority of the squad with them. Church started the new season under new manager and ex Aston Villa, Walsall play- er, Darren Byfield, but after a poor start which saw only 3 wins from 15 games and going out of all cups at the first hurdle, Church parted ways with Darren. Currently, Academy manager and club director Dean Holtham is helping manage the team, along with former manager and director, Simon Redhead, to start a new chapter in this club’s wonderful history. Alvechurch FC Player Pens Joe Slinn – Goalkeeper Joined from Atherton Collieries and made a MoM debut appearance v Biggleswade Town on 28/09/19 Matt Sargeant – Goalkeeper ‘Sarg’ returns to Church after signing from Nuneaton Borough.

  • Macclesfield Town Football Club Return to the Non-League Scene
    MACCLESFIELD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB RETURN TO THE NON-LEAGUE SCENE CHAPTER THREE Season 2014-2015 An Improving Picture on and off the Pitch BY GEOFFREY KNIGHTS OVERVIEW There can have been few years when there has been such a contrasting picture at the beginning and the end. In May 2014 the future of the club was uncertain with a large debt still outstanding and some football debts unpaid. A further takeover bid was in the pipeline but this, like others, did not come to fruition and with the requirement for Conference membership that football debts have to be satisfied, following lengthy discussions by club representatives with the Conference Board, the owner, Amar Alkadhi made a further injection into the club to satisfy the Board, ensuring that the club continued to function at Conference level. Backed by the Operations Committee, manager John Askey built a team which exceeded all initial expectations reaching a play-off position in the middle of November 2014, remaining there until mid-April 2015 and challenging for the top place at times. During the season the team were often referred to by the media as ‘the surprise package’, demonstrating their achievements on a low budget. Unfortunately, the momentum could not be maintained towards the end of the season, but the team finished in a very creditable sixth position, losing only two matches at home, as well as winning the Cheshire Senior Cup for the 21st time. Off the field, the club’s position was improving all the time, helped by the additional income partly provided through increased matchday attendance, with the overall debt reduced to a manageable level.
