[updated] Local teams ‘cannot raise a side’/Gills OFF/Moon has chance to shine/Dryden back to Hythe/All the weekend’s fixtures

It’s not looking too good with the playing surfaces tonight rock solid and an early pitch inspection is due at Waterside at 8.30am. If there is any chance of the Green Thirds v Riverside Inn match going ahead then we will give it a couple of hours. There is the possibility of using the 3G as Riverside’s home game so the lads could yet be in action. Chairman Stan Donald [left] looked at the pitches this afternoon and at 4pm declared them dangerous through being in a frozen state. There has to be doubts over the Under 10s home match scheduled to kick off at 10am. Trent will open the clubhouse at 8.30am so do come down and have a cuppa as we try and sort out the day!

As usual, the Thirds will have to reorganise with Terry Perk laid up with flu and Thomas Moon called up by the Saturday Reserves for their trip to APM Reserves.

Romney and Great Chart both unable to raise a side
Once again New Romney Thirds are unable to raise a side in the Ashford Premier Division which means their top of the table clash against Smarden at Cornes Meadow is cancelled. Also unable to field a team are Great Chart who were due to visit in-form Woolpack Inn in Division One.

Already OFF due to a frozen pitch is the Gillingham v Hereford United match in nPower League 2 and the Kent League Premier Division game between Erith & Belvedere and Woodstock Sports.

Couple of moves in the last 24 hours: hot-shot Kwesi Appiah, who had twittered himself a move to Blackpool, has left Margate to join Crystal Palace while Jimmy Dryden has been recalled by Hythe Town following a short loan spell at nearby Kent Invicta side Ashford United.

Training tonight/Wilson and Duncan now qualified coaches/Don’t let it snow!

Training tonight for the Under 10s at the normal time of 5pm. Clubhouse opens at 4pm.

Congratulations to Wilson and Duncan
Well done to Duncan Randall and Wilson Guest [pictured below] for achieving their FA Level 1 Awards last weekend. Great stuff boys and we will have a small celebration when the certificates arrive! Meanwhile, the weather does not look too promising as we look forward to another set of seven Green fixtures.

Don’t want to put a damper on the weekend but the latest weather forecast is minus figures for four days and snow!

We will update on here as soon as any news arrives about pitch inspections. Please scroll down for the TDL Preview Page.

Wednesday

Well done to those who braved the cold and attended training last night. We welcomed some new lads and they will hopefully become a part of the club’s future. Sixteen-year-old Dan Harris has already signed and is in the Saturday Thirds squad for the home game with Riverside Inn while several others are expected to follow in the coming weeks in preparation for next season.

The Sunday League trophies won last season have been returned to the League with Steve Mailey claiming they are only going back on loan! Absolutely, let’s hope so!

Hythe Town pulled off a great extra time win in the Kent Senior Cup last night, seeing off higher league opponents Ebbsfleet United to book a plum draw against Dover Athletic in the semi finals. With only 225 in attendance, Fleet’s lowest turn-out of the season, the atmosphere was somewhat eerie but that should not detract from Town’s achievement which came from goals by Kieran Byrne, Ronnie Dolan, Nick Reeves and Craig Thompson.

Tonbridge Invicta v Bromley Green
Saturday 4 February 2012
By Dave Smith
On Saturday we travel to take on bottom club Tonbridge Invicta, a game where we must come away with all 3 points, but this is the premier league and if the right attitude is not applied it is all so easy to come unstuck.
The most important thing now is to bounce back from last weeks disappointment at Stansfield and fully concentrate on the 9 games that we have left and ensure we give all we have in getting all 27 points on offer, yes a big ask but that is our goal.
Personally I think there are still going to be a few twists and turns, not just us but with the other title contenders as well. Winning any league requires hard work, commitment and skill, we have all these and the next 9 games will be the measure to see what levels of these vital ingredients we have. I have total faith in my whole squad as even when we have tasted defeat this season it has always been by the odd goal and have always came off the pitch shattered from our efforts.
The squad this week will have Gary Lockyer back from his ban, but will still be missing Rocky Hayles who’s ban ends after this game. It is hoped that Dan Barhams injury will allow him to play a part and that several other minor injuries will allow us to travel with a strong squad.
Squad: C.Smith, M.Hadlum, T.Head, M.Doyle, P.Allan, M.Collins, G.Mackett, R.Smith, B.Beaney, S.Harris, D.Cornell, G.Lockyer, A.Purse, S.Ahmetaj, D.Barham.
Players are reminded kick off are again now 2.45 pm so we will be meeting at 12.30.

APM Reserves v Bromley Green Reserves
Saturday 4 February 2012
By Andy Williams
We make the short trip up the M20 to Aylesford hoping to put our bad run behind us. Games there are normally close encounters and I just hope that this week the “real” reserve side show up.
We have something of a goalkeeping crisis at the moment with Craig Mannering unavailable and sometime deputies Kevin Quinn and James Howard both unable to play. I am working hard to get a replacement. Ryan Norman returns to the club but Matt Gilbert (work) and strikers Ryan Strand (away) and Ashley Webster(injured) both miss out.
Meet Waterside 12.45pm
SQUAD: L.SMITH, M.HODGES, A.MERCER, P.BARRON, J.THOMAS, E.STANLEY, T.POYNER, L.MILTON, T.LOCKETT, R.FITZGERALD, R.NORMAN

Bromley Green Thirds v Riverside Inn
Saturday 4 February 2012
By Matt Coniam
Firstly, I would like to thank the two Dave’s for handing me this
challenge and for their support for the rest of the season!
My and the Club’s vision for this team is simple: To transition youth
players into senior football and progress as many as possible into our
future KCL teams.
This squad has no shortage of talent but at times the attitude of some
individuals leaves a lot to be desired. This must and will change in
the future and I will happily say goodbye to anyone who doesn’t want
to give at least 100% for Bromley Green F.C. We are going to have fun
playing and training but everyone must commit to putting in the
required amount of effort.
With regard to Saturdays game, we played Riverside Inn only two weeks
ago resulting in a 3-0 victory. In truth we made hard work of a game
we should have wrapped up by half time. This week we need to dominate
them from the first whistle as we know they are a physical team and
will be hard to beat if they get in front.
We have a strong squad this week with 16 year old Dan Harris joining
us plus Liam Holman and Kieron Hawkins both available. Terry Perk will
be game time decision, as always. We have only four defenders
available, due to Jamie Hurst’s absence, Martyn Dalby will deputise at
left back. With the large number of midfielders available I am going
to change the formation and utilize a single striker supported by two
wider attacking midfielders.
Squad: Wilson Guest;  Dan Harris, Danny Illsley, Martyn Dalby,
Michael Dryland, Aaron Neil, Emmanuel Awuni, Matt Illsley, Liam
Holman, Terry Perk, Kieran Hawkins, Thomas Moon, Matt Jarvis, Andrew Possee, Marcus Dalby, Matt Coniam
Players are to meet 12:30pm at Waterside and club tracksuit tops are to be worn.

Aldington v Bromley Green
Sunday 5 February 2012
By Richie Moore
Sunday sees us travel to Aldington in the semi final of the Premier Division Cup where the winners will face either Market or Hamstreet.  Having shared a good battle with Andy’s teams 2 weeks ago, we know they will be looking to avenge their Bodkin Cup exit to us. However, although we did beat them by a comfortable score line we must not be complacent and just expect to turn up and win.
The squad will maintain its familiar names, although still missing are Paul Burt and Dan Barham with injury. Gary Lockyer falls foul of the league rules after not playing in an earlier round due to Brewmaster not wanting to play with 8 players.
There may well need to be additions to this squad on Sunday morning, if there are any injury or fitness concerns for this game then please can you contact either Matt or I (MANAGERS). The reason we meet at Waterside is so we can see who is available and if we need to can call up from the reserves. This does not work after we have travelled and made worse by not being contacted beforehand. Please travel in Bromley Green tops for this game, we are representing the club in a semi final.
The provisional squad is as follows and players are to report at Waterside NO LATER THAN 0915.
Craig Mannering, Liam Smith, Ryan Smith, Paul Allan, Mike Hodges, Micky Doyle, Tom Head, Liam Holman, Glenn Mackett, Matt Collins, Ryan Fitzgerald, Lee Milton, Steve Harris

[updated] Monday: Bay lose 33-game record/more photos/midweek fixtures

Arthur Wright
Former referee Arthur Wright likes to keep in touch with the local football scene [scroll down for his comments] and is threatening to get his whistle out again! Arthur, who keeps promising to come and visit us, was a fine cricketer and we picture him here in his whites at the old Bath Meadow ground in the late 1960s.

My thanks go to Dee Collins, wife of former Ashford Town winger Malcolm Collins, for information re our South Willesborough Invicta photos on the ‘Where are they now?’ tab [click on Players and hover down]. Also thanks to Laurie Prior, Paul Prior, Malcom Rolfe and Jeff Boyce for their valued input.

Many of our readers like to know what is going on outside of the Ashford area and there is always keen interest in the Kent League which had some big scores on Saturday. The major upset of the day was undoubtedly the 2-1 defeat of runaway leaders Herne Bay at VCD Athletic. Bay’s 33 league games unbeaten run had to come to an end some time and the Vickers have now taken 4 out of 6 points from the seasiders this season; on Saturday they came from behind to win by the odd goal in three. Michael Jenner put Bay in front after 15 minutes but Billy Shinners levelled six minutes before the interval. In the second period James Brown hit the Vickers winner in the 52nd minute.
Tunbridge Wells moved up to fifth after their 6-1 defeat of Fisher at the Culverden Stadium. Wells raced into a 3-0 lead through goals from Andy McMath, Jack Harris and Ryan Rook but the Fish gained hope when Adam Wadmore pulled one back. In the second period, McMath and Rook each added a second before Brewmasters Gary Clarke rounded off the scoring.

29.1.2012 Green man of the match Liam Holman in Bodkin Cup action action this morning at Mersham

An extra time headed goal by Ryan Smith earned the Green a 1-0 victory at Mersham this morning in the Bodkin Cup but the holders also missed two penalties during the added period that could have given a more comfortable margin.

Meanwhile at Waterside Ashford Dynamo put in a terrific display but the Green Reserves took the points with a 3-2 win to remain firmly at the top of the Division One table. Daryl Hagger fired the home team in front and Tommy Lockett looked to have set up a safe win before the Blues stormed back to 2-2. Ashley Webster and Tom Poyner both went close but the Green, well marshalled by the impressive Jon Douglas, won it with a Lockett penalty after Emmanuel Awuni had been brought down in the box.

Bromley Green booked a semi final spot in the Bodkin Cup with a 1-0 away win against Mersham this morning. The decider came from Ryan Smith who headed in a corner at the start of extra time.

In the Premier Division, Market were stretched by Aldington before winning 4-3 with a late penalty. Alex Williams, Kevin Ruane and Ryan Norman scored for Aldington with Marcus Hodges (2), Adam Purse and Olly Prior netting for Market. Hamstreet lost 1-0 at home to Bethersden with Tom Ripley claiming the only goal of the game.

29.1.2012 Top referee Ben Conlon in action at Waterside this morning

The Green Reserves continue to set the pace at the top of Division One thanks to a narrow 3-2 success over Ashford Dynamo at Waterside. Daryl Hagger opened the scoring for the Green and Tommy Lockett made it 2-0 at half time. However, full credit goes to Dynamo who fought back to 2-2 through Joe Slater and Rob Thurley before Lockett slammed home a penalty winner. Keepers Martyn Dalby and veteran Blues stopper Andy Towell were both excellent. Full marks to referee Ben Conlon who contributed to an exciting encounter.

Fellow title chasers William Harvey won 4-2 at home against Troggs with scores from Gary Turner (2), Sean Gibbs and Luke Walder. Andy Underdown and Danny Jennings replied for the Smarden-based side. Shadoxhurst stay up with the leaders after winning 2-0 at home against Appledore via goals from regular marksman Carlum McCloud and Valmir Paralonga while Ashford Victoria picked up a much needed maximum with a 3-1 win away to Red Heathens. Dan Fox, Freddy Caton and Phil Pearcey notched for the Vics with Barry Chambers hitting a consolation for Heathens.

In Division Two, the top three teams that played all won. Marsh Athletic had a comfortable 5-0 victory away to Fox Sunday with goals by Ashley Nelson  (2), Andy Cherritt (2) and an og. Levins continue to go well with a 2-0 win at home against Park Farm, Lewis Rae and Dave Bourne on the scoresheet. Newchurch nicked a narrow 2-1 win away to Troggs Reserves on a difficult Cornes Meadow pitch. Greg Hitchman scored both Church goals before the interval but an Alan Burton header from a corner gave the Marshmen a nervous final twenty minutes. Wye recorded a 6-2 home win over Charing with goals from Steve Trott (2), Alex Farrell, Ben Morley, Matt Sherwood and jack Phillips. Veteran Gary Lowman popped up with both Charing goals.

Albion Eagles took another step towards the Third Division title with a 6-2 win away toPrince Albertwith their scorers being Darren Brown (3), Callum Mackenzie, Gary Martin and Jamie Raffil. Steve Rice netted both Albert goals.StourValleyand Hamstreet Reserves shared the spoils from a 3-3 draw. Dan Berry (2) and an og forStourand Richard Larkin, Craig Ross and Luke Harden responding for Street. Sandgate are proving hard to beat at home and they took the points from a 6-3 success over Givaudan through goals by Steve Hill (2), John Driscoll (2), Simon Stanniford and Adam Boxer. Former Green veteran midfielder Gary Long, Ricky Harden and Chris Fenton replied for the works side. Pilgrims lost 4-1 at home against Ashford Spartans with Ian Edwards (2), Matt Rolfe and Will Rouford on the mark for the visitors. Matt Jackson netted for the hosts.

Burton Grove will meet Grasshoppers in the final of the Division Two Cup after Grove’s 5-1 win against Highfield Reserves. James Ross with a brace and one each from Barry Pithers, Andy Neal and Ian Hall proved more than enough with Inocent Muzumbe on target for Highfield. Grasshoppers were pushed all the way before winning 4-2 after extra time against Ashford Cavaliers. Allen Stirling, Martin Button, former Lydd and New Romney veteran Andy Bennett, and Mark Wood-Brignal netting for the Hoppers.

Bad day for the Green/Mickelborough on target for Hythe/Good win for Ashford

Off day for Green/Hythe draw/Ashford win

If the day started badly with England’s pitiful attempt to bat against spin bowling, it ended for the Green in abject disappointment with all five teams losing today.

The Under 10 sides both put on a good show [player of the match photos are on the U10 tab] but for the seniors it really was the proverbial ‘bad day at the office’!  A hotly disputed late penalty saw the firsts beaten right at the end away to Stansfeld and, although we are still top, this is a hiccup we could do without. The seconds crashed 6-0 at home to Bearsted Reserves and will have to lift themselves for the two big cup ties coming up. As for the Thirds, a 2-0 defeat away to Woolpack means we are out of contention in the league cup and no chance of lifting the title which has triggered immediate changes in management and playing staff as we look towards the future.

Gary Mickelborough had given Town an 8th minute lead but things started to turn when Kieran Byrne was dismissed for two yellow cards. Cruelly, it was man of the match Pat Kingwell who put through his own goal in the 54th minute to level matters up.

Kieran Hawkins, who became a father in the week, is added to the Saturday thirds squad for the league cup game at Caldecott

Sadly, we hear news that Riverside Inn Reserves are unable to field a side for the scheduled Ashford & District League cup tie away to Tenterden Reserves tomorrow.

Happy birthday!

The club sends wishes for a Happy Birthday today (Friday) to Jamie Hurst who is pictured [left] last May supporting the Saturday firsts on the night we clinched the league at Otford. Jamie is in his sixth season having joined as a junior and, in addition to playing for the Saturday Thirds and Sunday Reserves, is qualifying as a referee. He holds the distinction, along with Martyn Dalby, of winning the prestigious Tommy Stafford Memorial Trophy for Youth Clubman of the Year on two occasions.
