The season just finished will hardly go down as the most memorable in the club’s history but the positives are that the players are all sticking together and with just a few new quality signings there is a quiet air of confidence. The AGM is but a week away and all positions are provisionally covered with the exception of the Saturday Reserves manager – where talks with an experienced local manager are ongoing but formalities have still be be completed before an announcement can be made. There is already great anticipation concerning the awards night on 19 June and shortly after that training will begin in earnest. The Borough Council are to be congratulated for providing a floodlit multi-use games area which we will be able to use for training both juniors and seniors and, although it won’t be ready for this winter, it is an added facility from which ourselves and community partners at the The Swan Ground will gain enormous benefit. In fact the whole place is in line for a facelift as we try and get back on track both on and off the field. We are about to enter season 2009-2010 which marks the club’s 80th anniversary and the officers, managers, players and supporters are determined to make it something special.
Glenn Mackett Ryan Smith Liam Smith
As we strive for renewed success in our 80th anniversary year, a fair amount will depend upon these three who are still young but have plenty of experience. Mackett, who begins an incredible seventh year as club captain, has seen many comings and goings but continues to pledge his loyalty to the Green despite repeated overtures from elsewhere. Ryan has done the decent thing and informed Churchills that he now wants to play at a higher level on Sundays. Liam, passionate about the club and desperate to be a part of bringing back the glory days, is shortly to be featured on our meet the players page [click on The Players tab].
Steve Mailey reports on Thursday night’s final knockings in the Sunday Premier
We fell behind in an uneventful first half and lost a player to injury, again, at the break. The deficit was doubled as we found ourselves exposed in key areas. Lee Milton, suffering from a cold and clearly too much football, dragged us back in to the game with a well taken strike. Other chances came and went without any real conviction.
more than makes up for in effort and desire. Other mentions to Valler, Perk and BJ who all fought well against an organised attacking side. Also to young Kieran (pictured above left), who worked very hard and put in his best display to date. With this season over, I now look to improve the current squad. I began this several weeks ago and will start to bring in the new faces over the coming weeks. I thank all involved for their efforts since February and look forward to the new challenge, which for me, starts now.

The Molten East Kent Youth League (U16 section) held its awards ceremony on Saturday at the Winter Gardens, Margate. The sponsor of the Green side, Gary Skillett of Vicky’s Guest House, was amongst those attending on behalf of the club as the boys collected their runners-up medals. ![09-05-16 Presentation 008[1]](http://bromleygreen.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/09-05-16-presentation-0081.jpg?w=500&h=375 "09-05-16 Presentation 008[1]")
