CHAIRMANS WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to tonight’s match against our visitors Dunkirk FC and may I extend a warm welcome to the players, officials and spectators of Dunkirk FC and hope that we all enjoy a good match.

As you may be aware, Glyn Andrews has left the club as one half of the first team management and I would like to thank Glyn for the effort and time he gave the club during his spell. This has presented an opportunity for Marc Sargeant to step up from the reserve team and join Craig Picknell as his assistant. Following Marc stepping up we are pleased to announce the new reserve team manager as Greg Taylor and we wish him well in his role with us.

The last few months have been a real challenge for the club but I am not one for keep looking back and we must look forward and all engage with the plan we now have at the club. As I mentioned in my last notes, we need to stay focussed on the plan for bringing the best of our youth team players through into the senior sides, support them with senior players that can both aid their development as well as be experienced to move us forward competitively.

Unfortunately, too many people in football choose to knee jerk after each game and whilst it is as disappointing for us all to not win, there are few teams at any level that can win every game. The most important part is to have a plan and ensure that we stick to it as this is now re building the foundations that often get destroyed in football (especially local level) if you allow others to influence or indeed affect your ethos and plan for a better and stronger future.

As a club we are in a great position going forward and despite what the league table says, I know that we are primed with teams that will feed us home grown players in years to come. We have 3 under 15’s teams, 1 under 16’s team 3 Under 18’s teams and a reserve team and if we cannot produce enough players in the future from that crop then we all may as well pack up and go home as clearly there is not enough appetite to represent your local club.

I am confident that we will start to re-build stronger and for the right reasons and I know that may take a bit of patience but I hope that you can all understand and appreciate that we are doing this for the medium and long term good of the football club. Don’t get me wrong I also understand that when you are not winning games it has a knock on effect as spectator levels can drop, income then drops and the mood can generally be one of no interest. However, we have built a good club and have great support and I know that you will all continue to support the team in the best way possible.

There once was an ex Liverpool player that stated “you will never win nothing with kids!” and how he was proven wrong and I look forward to proving a few people wrong that taking a backwards step sometimes is not a bad thing and putting trust in a plan which involves realistic goals then only the future will be the bearer of reality.

Finally, we will be holding a minutes silence ahead of tonight’s game for one of our Lifetime Members, Peter Harvey who sadly passed away on Saturday 21st October. As most of you know, Peter played a big part in being part of our move to Lower Packington Road and was a fantastic supporter of the club as well as running our bar and catering outlet for the first few years with his wife Anna. I am sure Peter will be sadly missed by the wider community too and please pay your respects tonight by observing the minutes silence.

All that remains is to wish our players well today and hope we all are in for a good game.

Stuart Bonser Club Chairman

vs Dunkirk | Tuesday 31st October 2017 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.com

FIRST TEAM UPDATE This past week has been one of ups and downs. The performance against Loughborough dynamo a week ago today has been the best of the season. We showed in that game the potential that this young side has. For large parts of the game we competed on par with them. When you consider the gulf between the sides it was a fantastic achievement.

Saturday saw us narrowly lose out to Radford. I think it was obvious that Tuesday's efforts were still being felt in the legs and we were suffering a hangover from the Loughborough game. Chuck into the equation the last minute loss of 2 key players due to car troubles on the way, it felt like it wasn't going to be our day. The great thing about Tuesday and Saturday games is that the next game is just around the corner and so is the opportunity to put right what we did wrong on Saturday. We are conceding far to many at the moment. You cant keep conceding 2 / 3 goals a game and expect to win. We need to improve in that area. We are a young side and we need to bring consistency into our game. But we are developing and improving with every week.

With the right balance, work ethic and maybe a little bit of luck we can go on a good run.

Appreciate the support. Stick with this young team.

Craig Picknell First Team Manager

IN OPPOSITION TODAY DUNKIRK Dunkirk FC were founded in 1946 and their nickname is “The Boatmen”.

The first league they joined was the Notts Amateur League, of which they were members until 1975. They won the Premier Division in that season, the clubs first major honour. Accepted into the Notts Alliance League, they got off to a good start, eventually finishing runners up, five years later they were champions.

In 1981/82, Dunkirk reached the semi-final of the Notts FA Intermediate Cup, a feat they repeated the following season. In the league they led Division One for much of the season. In 1986/87, the club finished 9th and reached the semi-final of the league losing 2-0 to John Player.

The following season saw the club improve on that semi-final by winning the League Cup, leading scorer that season Mark Frettingham hitting all 3 goals in the final. At the end of the 1988/89 season, followers of the club might have been forgiven for thinking their team might never win the Notts Alliance Senior Division Title. After hitting top spot on 25th October, they led the table for 25 weeks, then dropped 6 points in as many games to finish second behind Hucknall Town by 4 points. The next season saw them runners up again, this time behind John Player by 2 points, in the Notts Senior Cup they reached Quarter-finals before going out to Eastwood Town in a penalty shootout. Dunkirk again ended as bridesmaids in 1990/91, seven points adrift of Rainworth MW who took the title in a late burst. In the League Cup they reached the final with Pelican. Dunkirk lost 2-0 after a replay drawing 2-2 in the first game.

In 1991/92 they slipped to 9th in the league, but improved up to 4th the following season. They also entered the FA Vase for the first time but made a quick exit by losing at home 5-1 to Lincoln United. 12 months later they beat Nettleham 5-3 to win their match in the competition, but the best was yet to come. In 1993/94 they had a magnificent run in the FA Vase reaching the last 16 before bowing out to Tiverton Town. 1995/96 saw the boatmen make their debut in the Central Midlands League, scoring 130 goals as they finished runners up to Kilamarsh Juniors and so gained promotion to the Supreme Division.

In the 1997/98 season they finished in 4th place and won the League Cup beating Clipstone Welfare 2-0 in the final at Hucknall Town.

In 1998/99 season Dunkirk secured runners up spot again snatching it from Goole on the last day of the season with a 2-0 win over South Normanton. The high expectations for the 1999/2000 season never materialised with the club finishing in 6th position in the league. The 2000/01 season saw the Boatmen’s worst season in the Supreme Division finishing 10th.

2002/03 saw the Boatmen beat Sutton Town on penalties to win the Floodlit Cup and also reach the league cup final losing though 2-0 to Dinnington Town at Alfreton Towns ground. Dave Harbottle took over the reins as player/manager and quickly drafted former Dunkirk player Wayne Manners as his Assistant, in which they guided the club to 6th in the league Table.

The 2004/05 season may be the greatest season in history for the Boatmen, winning the Central Midlands Supreme Division for the very first time and also reaching the Floodlit Cup and the League Cup final. They lifted the Floodlit Cup for the second time in three years with a 2-0 win against Clipstone Welfare. Unfortunately the Boatmen lost in the league Cup final, losing 1-0 in a tight game against Sandiacre Town at Alfreton Towns ground. After Dunkirk’s memorable championship season promotion was denied due to the ground not being up to the required standard for the league above. This disappointment led to many players moving on to higher placed clubs in the football pyramid which meant the “Boatmen” needed to regroup. This rebuilding period gave Dunkirk the opportunity to blood many of the clubs under 19 players into the 1st team and after a difficult season they finished in 8th position.

In the 2007/08 season Dunkirk went into the campaign with an optimistic view that silverware may be returning to the club but after a poor start their league title dreams looked to have slipped away from them. Dunkirk now turned to the cup competitions and after a good run in the FA Vase where they lost narrowly to Oldbury United in the 2nd round after a replay a bit of confidence returned to the side. The 2nd half of the season saw this confidence flourish with the “Boatmen” storming up the table to grab what looked to be an impossible 4th place league finish as well as reaching the

22

vs Dunkirk | Tuesday 31st October 2017 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.com

IN OPPOSITION TODAY league cup final at Alfreton Town’s ground where they defeated Blidworth Welfare 1-0 after extra-time. The 2008/09 season held fresh optimism for Dunkirk as they were accepted to become founder members of the East Midlands Counties Football League which is a step up in league terms for the club. This step up also has given Dunkirk the opportunity to enter the FA Cup for the first time in their history.

Our 1st game in the 2008/09 season started with the FA Cup as we faced Alvechurch from the Midland Football Alliance (step 5). Alvechurch though proved to be a little too strong for us as they raced into a 4 goal half-time lead.

Although we did put in a spirited 2nd half performance the game ended 4-1. In our 1st ever step 6 league campaign we started extremely well and remained unbeaten until the end of October when we crashed to a 3-0 defeat against eventual league winners Kirby Muxloe. For most of the season though we found ourselves just behind the front two but with only 12 games remaining we did top the table. This though was to be the highlight of the season and after this spell at the top we did dwindle away and had to settle for a 5th place finish. This was to be the clubs last game in the Central Midlands League and after a 13 year successful time in which they claimed 1 League Title, 2 League Cups as well as 2 Floodlit Cup trophies also claiming 3 League runners up positions and losing in 2 league cup finals they leave the Central Midlands League with many happy memories.

The 2008/09 season gave Dunkirk a taste of what life was like in step 6 football and they went into the 2009/10 campaign with huge expectations that silverware would again be returning to Lenton Lane. The campaign though started with 3 defeats in their opening 6 matches but they then went on a 30 game unbeaten record which pushed them into second place in the table but with leaders Bardon Hill Sports playing 8 games more than “the Boatmen” and with an 18 point lead with 16 games remaining a huge effort from Dunkirk was needed. The expectations that the club set themselves though was met when they saw the season out with 9 straight league wins to take the East Midland Counties title by 6 points over nearest contenders and runners up Gresley FC. This gave the club the opportunity to gain promotion and they were accepted into the Midland Alliance Football League which is a step 5 league in the football pyramid which will be the clubs first time in this level of football. As well as league success the club also had good cup runs when they reached the third round of the FA Vase when they narrowly lost out in a dramatic penalty shootout against Pickering Town after a replay. They also reached the semi-finals of the Nottinghamshire Senior Cup when the crashed out against Unibond League highflyers Retford United 4-0. In the East Midland Counties League Cup “the Boatmen” who are well known for League Cup success reached the final again when they faced Gedling Town but unfortunately they returned home with runners-up medals as Gedling snatched the tie with an extra-time 2-1 victory.

The 2010/11 season saw Dunkirk ply their trade in step 5 football for the first time in their history and after a very enjoyable season they claimed a creditable 8th place finish although they were only 4 points behind third position in the table. The club also enjoyed cup success as they claimed their first ever win in the FA Cup with an exciting 4-3 Extra Preliminary Round win over NCEL side Dinnington Town. They also showed their pedigree as they saw off step 4 side Grantham Town 3-2 in extra-time after a replay, before they bowed out of the competition in the 1st Qualifying round against local rivals Carlton Town again after a replay as they went down to a 2-1 home defeat that again went to extra-time. This campaign also saw “the Boatmen” reach the third round proper of the FA Vase as Northern league side Ashington made the long trip to our ground but again we just fell short as Ashington came from behind to claim a 2-1 win and reached the fourth round of the competition. Again we reached the semi-final of the Nottinghamshire Senior Cup and the draw couldn’t have been any tougher as we were paired against Conference North highflyers Eastwood Town and although we again put in a tremendous performance a last minute Eastwood strike gave them a 1-0 win as they went onto again claim the trophy. During the 2010/11 season the club were left in total shock as they were left to deal with the sudden death of their long standing Chairman Jack Riley. Jack had been an instrumental part of the club for many years as everybody at the club had to pull together which they did as they again looked to push the club forward. They also appointed a new Chairman as former Nottingham Forest favourite David Johnson took on the role. After an excellent first season in step 5 football Dunkirk had fresh optimism that they could challenge at the top of the table.

The 2011/12 season though saw them find themselves in an unfamiliar position as they struggled near the lower reaches of the division, only just avoiding relegation during the last few weeks of the season finally finishing in 18th position. The reserves claimed the Central Midlands League Reserve League Cup with a 2-1 win against Radford Reserves that was played at Long Eaton United’s ground.

vs Dunkirk | Tuesday 31st October 2017 | www.ashbyivanhoefc.com

23

IN OPPOSITION TODAY The club rebuilt again during the 2012/13 season but inconsistency was their main problem throughout the season. They did however finish in a creditable 10th position winning 18 of their 42 matches losing 16 and drawing 8. The reserves side under the guidance of Mark Harbottle claimed silverware for the second season in concession as they won the Central Midlands League Reserve Supreme Division with a very young side.

The 2013/14 Season was a struggle throughout and in January 2014 long term managers David Harbottle and Ian Upton decided to step away from their position and in came Leigh Grant and Kuki Morley as joint Managers. Although the club continued to struggle they did however manage avoid relegation on the final day of the season claiming a point at home against AFC Wulfrunians.

After a tough start to the 2014-15 season mangers Leigh Grant and Kuki Morley resigned from their positions as joint managers. The club acted quickly and appointed former captain Nick Hawkins as manger.

The clubs form continued to be poor as they languised in the bottom 3 at christmas only having 12 points on the table but a miraculous change in fortumes amd team morale occurred as for the second season running the club somehow escaped relagation on the final day of the season as they beat Shepshed Dynamo 1-0 to retain their step 5 status. The Reserve team disbanded at the end of the 2014-15 season but a new team named Dunkirk AFC was created in its place that will play in the Nottinghamshire Senior League Premier Division.

The 2015/16 season was a disaster for the first team as throughout the season they had 4 managers in charge in a very miserable campaign. The fourth manger that arrived though was former player Paul Rawden who knew he had a big job on his hands to try and save the club from the drop but after a late flourish of wins it wasn’t enough and the club were ultimately relegated to the East Midland Counties League after finishing third from bottom. Although the first team struggled the newly formed AFC team had a splendid season as this side made up of mainly youngsters remained competitive throughout the campaign and managed to claim wins over some of the more established sides in the Nottinghamshire Senior League along the way. If we can keep hold of these players a bright future looks in store for the club.

ASHBY IVANHOE FC CLUB HISTORY

Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club was founded in 1948 and play their home matches at the NFU Sports Ground, Lower Packington Road, Ashby de la O 4 UN 19 Zouch in Leicestershire. This is the clubs new home from the beginning of the DED 2012/2013 season. Since being founded in 1948 up until the end of the 2011/2012 season the clubs previous home was at Hood Park also in Ashby de la Zouch.

The club currently consists of three adult teams and a youth team. The first team play in the East Midlands Counties League, with the Reserves in the Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division. In the 2008/2009 season the club formed a Youth Team (Under 18’s) side who play in the Leicestershire Midweek Floodlit Youth League on Wednesday nights. A Sunday team was re-introduced for this season and they play in the Burton Sunday League Division Four.

The club also has a large number of junior sides ranging from Under 7’s through to Under 18’s who play in the Burton Junior Football League, Tamworth Junior Football League and the Derby City League. The junior section came after the club merged with the David Hunt Soccer School at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season.

In February 2004, Ashby Ivanhoe became an FA Charter Standard football club. The club is very ambitious and has plans to progress further up the league pyramid system. The club is run by an experienced management team and enjoys the support of some very prestigious commercial partners.

Ashby Ivanhoe had one of their most successful seasons in 2010/2011 as they completed a league and cup double by winning the Leicestershire Senior League by nine points and also lifted the Coalville Charity Cup for the very first time after producing a superb second half comeback to beat Bardon Hill 3-2 in the final. They have also reached successive Leicestershire Senior Cup finals in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 but had to settle for runners-up on both occasions losing 3-1, firstly to Ibstock United and then Aylestone Park.

The 2013/2014 season saw the first team achieve a long-term ambition as they won promotion into the Step 6 East Midlands Counties League for the 2014/2015 season after finishing third place in the Leicestershire Senior League. It was a close title race with the top three all finishing level on points with Ashby third on goal difference. The Reserves were also promoted to the Leicestershire Senior League Division One. 2014/2015 saw Ashby compete at Step 6 of the non-league pyramid for the first time and they had a very good season and secured a top six finish in the East Midlands Counties League which featured victories against all of the sides above them. The Reserve side were involved in a tight title race and it went down to a last day decider against Lutterworth Athletic Reserves but despite the result going against them on the day they were still promoted for the second season in succession and would play at Step 7 in the Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division for 2015/2016.

ASHBY IVANHOE FC CLUB HISTORY 2015/2016 saw Ashby have another fine season and they mounted a strong title challenge and they led the East Midlands Counties League for the majority of the season before finally finishing in third place.

That saw them assured of a first ever appearance in the FA Cup for the 2016/2017 season.

Last season was the most memorable in the history of Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club. For the very first time in the clubs history they were accepted to play in the most famous club competition in the world, The FA Cup. It turned into a thrilling journey with higher ranked opponents of Quorn and Loughborough Dynamo knocked out before Ashby fell to Ilkeston in the 1st Qualifying Round. Prior to the Ilkeston defeat Ashby received a visit from the FA Cup which was paraded through the town centre visiting local sponsors before players and spectators had the opportunity to view the cup at the NFU Sports Ground.

The league season was inconsistent with a strong finish to the season seeing the team finish in tenth place. The season did end with a first appearance in the final of the Jenkins & Jenkins League Cup but Dunkirk overturned a one goal deficit late on to see Ashby end as runners-up.

The new season sees a new management team at the helm of the club with Glyn Andrews and Craig Picknell joining the club from Friar Lane & Epworth with the aim of achieving promotion to Step 5.
