We wish a happy New Year to everyone at Short Lane this a�ernoon, especially our visitors and those few loyal supporters that have stayed with the club despite the train crash of the current season that sees us go into the second half of the season just one place off bo�om spot. Hopefully ma�ers can only get be�er but it will be tough this a�ernoon against a Bracknell Town side who, on the face of it, have been ruthless in changing their management whenever results have not gone their way. They arrive here today in 11th posi�on in the table, following mixed results in December which saw them losing 2-4 at South Park, drawing one apiece at home to Hanwell and then bea�ng Northwood 2-0 last Saturday. Following today’s game, the real crunch for us is next Saturday when we travel to meet FC Romania, the only side below us. They lost again on Boxing Day which gives us a one point advantage with a game in hand. If we could stretch that to four points next week, that would give us a li�le breathing space with only one side going down this season (and even that’s subject to a play-off against a Step 5 club) We are next due here on Tuesday 14 January when we expect to be mee�ng Kensington & Ealing Borough in the Middlesex Charity Cup, if we can get them to confirm the match. They are doing quite well this season in Division One of the CCL and recently both Jabir Laraba and Yahya El- Kabouche have been playing for them. Both of whom have played for us in recent seasons. The Ladies are at home tomorrow to Dulwich Hamlet in a London and SE Regional League match, kick- off 2.00 p.m. The postponed matches at home to Hartley Wintney in the Aldershot Senior Cup and in the League to Staines Town have been re-arranged for Tuesday 21 and Tuesday 28 January respec�vely. That now leaves us with just the S. Comb. Cup game, away to Su�on Common Rovers, to be sorted out. 6 #ASHBRA ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com #ASHBRA 7 @ashfordtownmx Recent Action Westfield 5 - 0 Ashford 8 #ASHBRA ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com vs Westfield #ASHBRA 9 @ashfordtownmx Today’s League Fixtures 10 #ASHBRA ashfordtownmiddlesexfc.com #ASHBRA 11 @ashfordtownmx Today’s Opponents Bracknell Town Club History The club was established in 1896 as Old Bracknell Wanderers They joined the Ascot & District League in 1904, and were runners-up in the league in 1907–08.
