Caretaker
duo take Saints reins
Former
assistant manager Ivan Finch and coach Iain Parr have been
confirmed as joint managers of St Neots following a successful
spell in caretaker charge.
The
duo took charge on a temporary basis after Scott Houghton
resigned for personal reasons late in September after nine
months in charge at Rowley Park.
Finch,
a widely travelled midfielder on the non league circuit, arrived
at Rowley Park from Arlesey Town as Houghton’s assistant in
January while Parr is a former St Neots player who enjoyed
plenty of success with the championship winning reserve side
last season before linking up with the first team management
in the summer.
After
four wins in caretaker charge Finch and Parr’s appointment
was made permanent on 13 October and they retained the ‘midas
touch’ in their first two games as permanent bosses, steering
the Saints to wins over Yaxley and Wootton and a five point
lead at the top of the Premier Division.
New
faces on the field are two former Saints, one time Peterborough
United goalkeeper Jon Chatfield and midfielder Chris Garwell
who scored three goals in his first two matches back in Saints
colours, plus Wootton defender Ishmael George.
Change
at the helm for Kempston
Newly
promoted AFC Kempston have had a torrid time back in the Premier
Division. The loss of the bulk of the promotion winning squad
gave new manager Neil Trebble a major rebuilding job and pressure
of work forced him to step down at the end of September, with
a consequent loss of several players recruited by the outgoing
boss.
Head
coach Clive Black took the reins on a temporary basis until
the Walnut Boys were able to unveil Lee Bearman as their new
manager. The 38 year old played for Kempston between 2000
and 2001 and has seen service with Olney, Newport Pagnell,
Potton, Stotfold, Cogenhoe, Long Buckby and St Neots on the
UCL circuit as well as Bedford Town, Milton Keynes and Stony
Stratford.
Black
will continue his coaching role in the Hillgrounds management
team.
Creasey
steps down at Holbeach
Summer
appointee as co-manager of Holbeach, Dick Creasey, has stepped
down from the Tigers helm due to pressure of work, leaving
Shaun Keeble in sole command once more.
The
Tigers have continued to add to their squad in recent weeks.
They have signed Andy Lodge, a Conference winner with Boston
United a few years back, from Mildenhall, and former Spalding
skipper Dan Holyoak, who has first team experience with Mansfield
Town.
Milestones
for Bull and Poachers
Boston
Town’s visit to Premier Division champions Deeping Rangers
on 16th October ended up with two milestones being achieved.
Poachers’
record goalscorer Gary Bull netted his 100th goal for the
club in just 112 matches in Boston colours while the 2-2 draw
was Town’s first in the league since 12 September 2006 when
they shared eight goals at Yaxley. 44 matches in between had
seen the Poachers win on 35 occasions and suffer just nine
defeats.
Including
cup fixtures, and treating last season’s Knockout Cup final
as a win, albeit in a penalty shootout, and the sequence without
a stalemate had reached 59 matches!
Player
movement at Tattershall Road has seen striker/midfielder Jonny
Rowan link up with Blue Square North neighbours Boston United
and midfield warhorse Steve Appleby take up the post of assistant
manager at Wisbech. Joining the squad is former Grimsby Town
and Stamford striker Garath Pritchard who has been playing
for Spalding this term. His debut for Boston has been delayed
by an ankle injury. A familiar face rejoining the club is
front man Lee Orrey who scored goals galore for local side
Croft in the Boston League last season.
Wellingborough
announce link up with Bee Bee Developments
Wellingborough
Town have joined forces with development company Bee Bee Developments
to investigate relocation opportunities for the club.
The
parties are looking at the possibility of a purpose built
stadium up to Blue Square standard and also the provision
of grass and third generation artificial surfaces for youth
and community use.
On
the field new arrivals at the Dog & Duck are Newport Pagnell
top scorer Vinny Shrieves and midfielder Dan Spaughton from
neighbours Whitworths.
Desborough
retain unbeaten record
The
last unbeaten record in the top flight belongs to Desborough
who extended their fine start to nine league matches without
defeat by drawing 0-0 at Cogenhoe on 16th October. This represents
Ar Tarn’s best start since they were undefeated in their first
ten matches of the 1996-97 season.
Desborough’s
9-0 FA Vase defeat of Bugbrooke was their biggest win since
an 11-2 defeat of Eynesbury in December 1967!
Manager
Steve Noble continues to add to his squad, strengthening in
all areas. Recent arrivals are defender Paul Malone from Corby,
Huntingdon midfield man Joe Cossey and front runner Michael
Sneddon from Wellingborough.
Champions
add to squad
Reigning
champions Deeping have found the defence of their title tricky
so far and last season’s defeats tally of three was equalled
in the first five games of the current campaign.
Rangers
scored six at Stewarts & Lloyds and five at Newport Pagnell
but have otherwise struggled for goals, and manager Tuncay
Korkmaz moved swiftly to strengthen his attacking options
by recruiting Mark Lovelace from Bourne and Kevin Ward from
Wellingborough.
Defender
Dave Cornell, an influential figure in last season’s title
success, has now returned to the squad after being sidelined
by work commitments.
Spencer
nearing full strength
Northampton
Spencer’s squad is near to full strength after the return
of goalkeeper Shaun Markie and defender Dan Chilton from lengthy
suspensions.
Front
runner Darren Frost is about three weeks away from a return
to action following his ankle injury while manager Steve Jelley’s
attacking options have already been increased by the recruitment
of experienced campaigner Kevin Slinn from Long Buckby.
Former
boss joins Potton as a player
Jim
Benton, who briefly managed Potton along with Dean Chapman
over the summer, only to step down before a ball was kicked
in anger, has now signed for the Royals as a player. The former
Northampton Town professional will add much needed experience
to the youthful Potton side.
Another
recent recruit is last season’s Player of the Year at Buckingham,
Jamie O’Grady, who has been playing in the BGB League for
Aylesbury this term.
Jones
back between the posts for Shopmates
Raunds
manager Colin Ridgway is now able to concentrate on his dugout
duties after last season’s first choice keeper Chris Jones
completed a long suspension. The boss had been deputising
between the sticks in the absence of Jones and the injured
Mike Hearn.
New
arrivals at Kiln Park are Thrapston defender Mark Chilton,
Irchester pair Marcus Wharton and Dean King and former Shopmate
Gavin Fitzgerald from Rushden & Higham.
Snippets
Blackstones
striker Ashley Stevens is about to undergo surgery on a foot
injury….Bourne reserve boss Darren Munton recently fulfilled
a lifelong ambition, scoring twice for Rutland Veterans at
Wembley. The Vets won a competition held by magazine Four
Four Two to play against a team from the magazine and Umbro.
Fellow Wakes man John Morton scored the winner as the Rutland
side ran out 3-2 winners….Cogenhoe have recruited defender
Adam Knight from Leamington….Long Buckby have signed Gokhan
Ulker from Turkish club Ankara Demirspor….St Ives have striker
Tom Fielding back in action after an ankle injury….Sleaford
have signed former Blackstones defender Darren Glover while
16 year old striker Tom Siddons has impressed with three goals
in three games since breaking into the senior squad….Stotfold
goalkeeper Brad Gillham has been sidelined with a rib injury….Wootton
defender Tom Hole has put his career on hold due to a leg
injury. The latest addition to the club’s Polish contingent
is Jaroslav Korman….Yaxley have signed defender Anthony Thomas
from Peterborough Sports and have star man Mark Paul back
in action after recovering from an ankle injury. Midfielder
Lee Blewett and the versatile Ian Edge are also nearing returns
to action.
Huntingdon
strengthen squad
Huntingdon
have continued to add to their already powerful squad in recent
weeks. Defender Andy Brown has arrived at Jubilee Park from
BGB League Rothwell Town, while midfield man Robbie Maddox
has been recruited from Corby Town. Former Blackstones midfield
prospect Callum Papworth is another new face in Huntingdon
colours while midfielder Brett Bellamy is now available after
completing a suspension held over from last season. An interesting
recruit is Portuguese midfielder Jose Andre, signed from Godmanchester
but a former junior with Sporting Lisbon and Belenenses in
his native land. Another overseas capture is Joseph Mutamba
from Swedish club IFK Sollentuna.
Lengthy
injury list tests Sileby resources
Sileby
are looking forward to the return to action of a number of
key players who have been missing from the squad in recent
weeks.
Seven
week bans deprived Rangers of the services of midfield pair
Dean Tew and Nicky Ling, while Matty Cox, Damon Black, Barry
Mead, Ryan Suter and Ryan Tapp have all been on the treatment
table for long spells but are nearing a return to action.
November
funding date for Whitworths
Whitworths’
application for funding to progress the planned ground improvements
at London Road will be heard in November.
Dan
Spaughton has become the latest member of the title winning
side to move on from the Flourmen while last season’s Reserve
Division One leading marksman Carlton Ellwood has left the
club after work commitments restricted his availability for
training.
A
new addition to the Whitworths squad is Rushden & Higham
midfielder Ian Symington.
Three
new faces for Star
Peterborough
Northern Star continue to recruit new faces in their bid for
Division One honours.
Manager
Tommy Cooper has signed Peterborough Sports midfielder Scott
Quinney, a Boston United trialist in pre season, while Alconbury
striker Gary Gibbs has teamed up with brother Karl in the
Star attack. Another new attacking recruit is one time Yaxley
striker Adam Scotcher.
McCormick
quick to make an impression for Robins
After
struggling for goals at the start of the campaign, the recruitment
of Newport Pagnell’s Joel McCormick appears to have been a
masterstroke by Buckingham manager Tony Joyce.
McCormick
netted a debut hat trick at Huntingdon on 22nd September and
followed up with two more seven days later as Buckingham thrashed
hosts ON Chenecks 8-2.
Another
Buckingham capture is midfielder Jonathan Mills from Slough.
Turner
back in Corinths colours
Former
Sergeant’s Lawn favourite Jason Turner is back in action for
Rothwell Corinthians. As a teenager he played his first senior
football with Corinths before enjoying spells with Rothwell
Town, Kettering, Stamford and Grantham. Illness has kept Turner
on the sidelines this term although he recently signed for
Grantham in the UniBond League. His Corinths comeback saw
him score twice in a 2-1 victory over Irchester on 6th October.
Other recent arrivals are Rushden & Higham goalkeeper
Liam Flecknor and Irchester defender Greg Arnold.
Snippets
Division
One basement boys Burton Park have signed midfielder Gary
Clark from Whitworths….Table toppers Daventry Town have Tim
Orford back in training after a wrist injury, Adam Confue
available after suspension and a new recruit in attack, Tony
Burkett from Woodford….One of Irchester’s youngest supporters,
eleven year old John Squire has raised £165 for the
club to put towards ground improvements….Utility player Matty
Curtis has joined Rushden & Higham from Wellingborough
while another addition to the Lankies squad is Buckingham
front man Stefan Morris….Thrapston midfielder Sam Duxbury
faces a six week lay off after suffering a broken nose against
Rothwell Corinthians on 13th October, while 16 year old youth
product Jack Petty has impressed at Chancery Lane after breaking
into the senior side.
Great
escape for Sleaford
The
month’s three Knockout Cup First Round ties saw 22 goals scored
and two giantkillings narrowly averted.
St
Ives needed extra time to see off Division One strugglers
Burton Park 6-4 at Westwood Road – hard luck on Burton hat
trick marksman Michael Coles. Extra time strikes from Dan
Moyes and Liam Kennett took the Premier high fliers through
after a scare.
Olney
also did the lower grade proud before bowing out 4-3 to Sleaford
at East Street. The Nurserymen were leading 3-1 as the contest
moved into the 90th minute but Sleaford defender Kris Jones
twice came forward to score and Tom Siddons won the tie for
Sleaford in extra time.
Division
One champions Whitworths exited 3-2 to league rivals Huntingdon
at London Road. The visitors had Andy Brown sent off after
half an hour but still progressed with goals from Chris Caswell,
Adam Taylor and Mark Burrows.
The
most eye catching result in the Reserve Knockout Cup so far
was Wellingborough’s 11-3 win over Reserve Division Two rivals
Wootton at the Dog & Duck. Cornell Haughton and Marc Harrison
both hit hat tricks in the Doughboys’ success. There was a
lower grade triumph at the Abbey Lawn as goals from Jamie
Plastow, Gary Gibbs and Mohammed Sohail saw Peterborough Northern
Star to a 3-1 success against Bourne.
Stotfold
FA Cup adventure over
Stotfold’s
FA Cup adventure came to an end at the Third Qualifying stage
with a 5-0 defeat against Ryman Premier side Tonbridge Angels,
but the Eagles could take great satisfaction from their best
ever run in the national competition which earned them prize
money of £7,500.
Two
goals from Hamid Barr and a hat trick from Jon Main gave Tonbridge
a comfortable victory at Roker.
In
the Second Qualifying Round Stotfold had claimed the scalp
of BGB Midland Division Chesham – the first win by a club
over higher grade opposition in the competition this term.
Joel
Mason’s eighth FA Cup goal of the season earned the Eagles
a 1-1 draw in the first meeting at Chesham and the replay
saw Stotfold run out 2-1 home winners. Mason took his Cup
tally to nine with Stotfold’s first half opener and after
the visitors had levelled, Stotfold clinched a famous victory
through Paul Garrett.
Eight
still on Wembley trail
Eight
clubs still have dreams of Wembley alive as the FA Vase moves
towards its Second Round stage next month. Exempt pair Cogenhoe
and Potton join the six clubs who successfully made it through
the First Round. Of the three clubs exempt to that stage only
Boston Town progressed, beating league rivals Holbeach 3-2
at Tattershall Road with Lee Orrey netting the Poachers’ extra
time winner. The Tigers had previously overcome Godmanchester
2-0 in the Second Qualifying Round with Kevin Childs and Matt
Oswin their marksmen. Deeping exited 2-1 to Woodbridge with
Wellingborough bowing out 1-0 at Stanway in a replay.
The
other all domestic tie in the First Round saw Desborough beat
Bugbrooke 9-0 with Michael Byrne scoring four times and Jamie
O’Neill three. Ar Tarn had earlier survived a late Hoddesdon
comeback to win 4-3 in the Second Qualifying Round, Byrne
scoring twice and stand in keeper Tom Rix thwarting the visitors
with a last gasp penalty save. The Badgers had surprised Biggleswade
Town 4-3 in the previous stage with Adam Baptist the Badgers’
matchwinner in extra time Division One interest ended with
Daventry United losing 4-2 in extra time at Barking, earlier
conquerors of Sileby, but United could reflect on an earlier
2-1 victory at former winners Stansted with Tommy Waldock
and Tony Burt on the scoresheet.
St
Ives enjoyed two wins on the east coast, beating Kirkley 1-0
with a Liam Kennett goal and following up with a 3-0 success
at Gorleston, Kennett joining Jamie Blackwell and Barry Albone
on the scoresheet. Blackstones also claimed two Ridgeons League
victims, beating Norwich United 3-0 in a replay with Graeme
Epps, Liam Harrold and Richard Jones on target, and then disposing
of former winners Diss 3-0 with Harrold scoring all three.
There
were contrasting fortunes for the league’s two Vase debutants.
Thrapston lost 3-1 to Harpenden at Chancery Lane in the Second
Qualifying Round, but Sleaford have progressed through two
rounds with a brace of victories over Ridgeons opposition.
They turned a three goal deficit into a 4-3 win at Felixstowe,
Micky Stones scoring twice, and in the first ever Vase match
at Eslaforde Park Walsham le Willows were handed a 5-1 drubbing
with Jamie Shaw hitting a hat trick. Completing our First
Round winners were Long Buckby who edged out Welwyn Garden
City 3-2 in extra time with Ben Foster netting the decider.
Earlier Buckby had beaten Broxbourne 2-0 with Carl Holmes
and Jason Lee the marksmen.
FA
Cup heroes Stotfold lost 1-0 to Tring in the First Round having
earlier won 5-0 at Raunds with Lee Allinson and Paul Garrett
scoring two apiece while the surprise of the day saw Yaxley
squander a two goal lead at Newmarket, going out 3-2 in extra
time. In the Second Qualifying Round the Cuckoos had enjoyed
extra time more as they won 6-2 at Bourne with Mario Palazzo,
Elio Salerno, Dominic Henson and Ricky Hailstone sharing the
goals in the extra half hour. Completing our First Round casualties
were Newport Pagnell who lost 3-2 at Moneyfields after a Peter
Rowe brace had secured an earlier 2-0 win at Hartley Wintney.

Collins
and Walker the September managerial winners
Darren
Collins of Cogenhoe United and Martyn Walker of Daventry Town
carried off the league’s Manager of the Month awards for September.
After
a poor run of results at Cogenhoe summer appointee Darren
Collins turned things around at Compton Park during September.
Five Premier Division matches yielded thirteen points for
the Cooks as they beat Deeping, Wootton, Wellingborough and
Yaxley and drew with Potton. Cogenhoe also made progress in
both the League Knockout Cup and Northants Hillier Senior
Cup during the month.
Daventry
Town enjoyed a spectacular month of success in Division One.
They scored a total of fourteen goals in seeing off Peterborough
Northern Star, Rushden & Higham and Sileby in league action,
while routing local rivals Daventry United 5-0 in the League
Knockout Cup and also winning a Northants Junior Cup tie during
September.
Foster
the leading September marksman
Cogenhoe’s
summer signing from Whitworths Rob Foster won the league’s
Goalscorer of the Month award for September netting twelve
times in the Cooks’ six matches in domestic football.
Foster
scored in every match, starting with a single in the Knockout
Cup against Sileby. The first September league game saw him
hit a hat trick to sink champions Deeping, and singles followed
against Wootton and Potton.
The
highlight of the month for the Cooks’ goal ace was a four
goal salvo against one of his former clubs Wellingborough
and a brace at Yaxley rounded off Foster’s dozen goal haul.
