Rob – editor. From Bedfont & Feltham FC Manager Adam Bessent: Good afternoon everyone and welcome to The Orchard. I hope our match officials and all associated with Cove enjoy their short stay with us. Last Friday night was the perfect response to our first league defeat of the season. In terrible conditions, we eventually ran out 4-0 winners against an improved Kensington Boro. We were not at our best in the first half, confidence possibly low after the Tooting result we didn't show a lot of courage in possession and the only bright spark of the first 45 was Farhad's superb strike. After some honest and frank discussion during the half time break, the boys sprung into life in the second half and showed glimpses of what they're capable of. Another brace for Michael and one for Reece, returning to the squad, sealed the 3 points. No time for complacency or looking at league positions today, if you have an off day at this level you will get punished. We will be going for another 3 important points. I hope you enjoy the game, thank you for your support.

The significance of the goal, which saw Vardy break Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record of scoring in ten consecutive Premier League matches, was clear evidence of a footballer at the height of his powers. Vardy’s rise from such humble Non-League beginnings to the bright lights of the Premier League has been well documented. From Stocksbridge Park Steels, via FC Halifax and Fleetwood Town - England recognition would follow off the back of his blazing run with Leicester City. Here was the ‘poster boy’ for what Non-League football could deliver. So much so, in fact, that scouts up and down the country are now looking for that next gem; a player with a price tag that wouldn’t even be picked up on most Premier League clubs’ balance sheets. But while the new wave of Non-League stars continue to take their places in the higher leagues and beyond – former Kettering striker Calum Wilson’s call-up to the England squad being the latest example of such – the lack of managers being given their chance remains a cause of major frustration. Scratch the surface and you can see some reasoning: if a club purchases a player for such a nominal fee - even the £1 million Leicester City paid Fleetwood Town for Vardy’s services in 2012 - there is so much to gain and so little to lose. But taking a manager from the lower leagues, who is expected to make a team gel and manage players’ egos, well that’s a different challenge.
