MANAGERS REPORT FC Oswestry Town Manager, Matt Burton in association with Maudesport Firstly I would like to welcome all players, management, committee and supporters of Vauxhall Motors here today for this afternoon’s fixture. We wish you a safe journey to and from the game.

Company Name: FC OSWESTRY LIMITED Company No: 08495772 Chairman: Ian Jones Director of Football: Nick Maguire Commercial Director: Matt Williams Club Secretary: Andy Burnett Programme Editor: Bernie Johnson County Affiliation: Shropshire Year Formed: 2013 Previous Leagues:

Following our disappointing Shropshire Cup defeat after extra time against Shawbury United, it was important we bounced back quickly as we took on a much improved Sandbach United team who had shown great improvement after a slow start to the season.

Well we certainly got it in what I think was our best away performance of the season. We started off on the front foot and went ahead through Lewis Jarman. But then we were pegged back through the double blow of a home team equaliser and losing Ed Moss to a red card. However, we dealt with this adversity very well and just after half time grabbed two goals which killed the game for us. A great result at a tough place to find one.

Such are the idiosyncracies of our season that in December we only have one home game and four away games. So as it is the final home game for us before Christmas, on behalf of everyone at the club, may I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Enjoy the game and I look forward to seeing you again soon in the New Year down at The Venue.

OUR VISITORS

Year Formed: 1963 Ground: The Syncreon Arena Manager: Mick McGraa Vauxhall Motors F.C. was founded in 1963, shortly after the opening of the new Vauxhall Car Plant in Ellesmere Port. Early in its history, they played in the Ellesmere Port League and the Wirral Combination, but soon grew too strong for those leagues. By 1970, the club had achieved several promotions and played on the company-owned Hooton Park. By 1987 however, it had opened its own ground, Rivacre Park, where the club plays today.

The opening of the new ground was especially important as then England manager Bobby Robson brought a number of former international stars for the opening game.

On the pitch, the club also started finding some success, winning its first West Cheshire League championship in the 1985–86. Soon after, they reached their first Cheshire Amateur Cup Final and triumphed in the Wirral Senior Cup. These accomplishments did not go unnoticed, as the club successfully applied to join the North West Counties League for 1987–88. They easily won the league’s Second Division in their second season, and finished fourth in the First Division in 1989–90 before winning the NWCL Cup the following season beating Darwen 2-0.

Soon after the club took the decision to move back down to the West Cheshire League, where the club finished in third place in the two following seasons.

However, in 1994–95, the club won both divisions of the league – only the third time any club had achieved that in the 125-year history of the league and accepted back into the North West Counties League. Just as before, they easily won the Second Division, but did not have the best of seasons in Division One, although they did reach the semi-final of the Cheshire Senior Cup. They continued to play in Division One, and reached the final of the NWCL Cup, losing to Kidsgrove Athletic.

The 1998–99 season was the team’s best to that point, reaching the fifth round of the FA Vase, earning its best ever league position in third place, and won the NWCL Cup against Prescot Cables.

However, the next season was even better, with the team reaching the FA Vase semi-finals and winning the NWCL title, thus earning a spot in Division One of the Northern Premier League. The reserves also enjoyed a successful season, winning The Pyke Cup for the first time in the club’s history.

The club enjoyed considerable success in the Northern Premier League as well, earning promotion to the Northern Premier League Premier Division in their first season, and finishing in second place in that division. The team continued to play well, with its high point coming when they defeated Queens Park Rangers in their first appearance in the FA Cup first round, before losing in the next round in a televised match against Macclesfield Town in November 2002. The season after, the club hired manager Owen Brown and they earned promotion to newly formed Conference North in 2004.

The club finished 21st in the 2007–08 season, and were due to be relegated but after Nuneaton’s liquidation and the Conference’s decision to expel Boston United, the club were reprieved. In the 2009–10, the club finished 20th. However, due to the earlier resignation of Farsley Celtic and the subsequent demotion of Northwich Victoria due to financial troubles, the club was again given a reprieve.

In the 2010–11 season, they reached the First Round of the F A Cup, but were unable to repeat the success of eight years previously, drawing 0–0 away to Hartlepool United before losing the home replay 1-0. In May 2011 it was announced that, due to a promotion at work, Carl Macauley was stepping down from his role as manager and that his assistant Anthony Wright would be taking over the reins with former Notts County, Peterborough United, and Vauxhall striker Gary Martindale as his number two. However results did not go as hoped despite assembling one of the strongest squads the club had seen, resulting in Carl Macauley making a shock return to the Rivacre Park hotseat in November 2011 with Anthony Wright reverting to Assistant Manager and Gary Martindale to Coach

In March 2014 the club announced its intention to withdraw from the Conference North due to “everincreasing costs” leaving the club with no alternative but to return to the West Cheshire League to stabilise and rebuild the club once again. A week after the announcement long-serving manager Carl Macauley left to become Assistant Manager to Steve Burr at Chester F.C. Only four of the founder members of Conference North remained in the league for its first ten seasons: Gainsborough Trinity, Harrogate Town, Stalybridge Celtic and Vauxhall Motors. Vauxhall’s league positions in those seasons were 15th, 18th, 15th, 21st, 11th, 20th, 17th, 18th, 12th and 18th. On 26 April 2014 Motors played their last game in Conference North for the foreseeable future.

In May 2014 former Vauxhall favourite Alan Schumacker was appointed as first team manager. The former Motors defender was a member of Alvin McDonald’s all conquering North West Counties League championship side and had been reserve team manager since the summer of 2010. He appointed Kevin Baker as his assistant and Steve Foulkes as coach for the coming season. At the end of that season, the club had triumphed in the Wirral Senior Cup for the third time in five seasons, having won their first Cheshire Amateur Cup the previous season.

At the end of the 2015-16 season Alan Schumacker was replaced by former Motors’ assistant manager Anthony Wright and former Mersey Royal Youth team manager Joe Wright as his assistant. However in October Anthony Wright had to step down due to family commitments and a month later Joe Wright left the club.

In November 2016 the former Burscough captain, ex A.F.C. Liverpool assistant manager and Prescot Cables Reserve team manager Karl Bell was appointed the club’s new manager, assisted by Dean Evans. Karl had to rebuild a team in mid-season and as a result, they finished a disappointing 8th. Last season however, they remained unbeaten in the league until just before Christmas but sadly fell away towards the end of the season, as they finished second in the league and also runners-up in both the Cheshire Amateur Cup and Pyke Cup. Those disappointments saw Karl relieved of his duties after the penultimate game of the season.

Taking over the reins at the Syncreon Arena as the club re-joins the NWCFL is former Conwy United and Cammell Laird boss Mick McGraa. Mick, a former Motors player, took over at Cammell Lairds in October 2016 with no players and no victories. Despite a decent run towards the end of that season, he was unable to prevent the club from relegation but last season he almost guided Lairds to promotion, losing out in the final play-off away at Whitchurch Alport in mid-May.

FC Oswestry Town earned their first double of the season with a convincing win over an improving Sandbach United team. Despite suffering the adversity of an own goal and losing Ed Moss to a red card in the first half, the away team showed great

resilience to run out as deserved winners. Town went in front with a goal from Lewis Jarman. United equalised and then looked to have taken the upper hand. However, two goals from Liam Parry and Michael O’Reilly early in the second half saw Town home.

MEET THE PLAYERS OF VAUXHALL MOTORS Mick McGraa - Manager A former Vauxhall striker of some repute, Mick went on to manage at Conwy United, West Kirby and Cammell Lairds, guiding his last club to the Division One play-off final last season in the Hallmark Security Leasgue.

Appointed manager at VMFC in the summer.

Sean Morris Assistant Manager Sean has had experienced managing Mold Alexandra before moving to AFC Liverpool where he was assistant boss. Teamed up with Mick McGraa at Cammell Lairds to form a new duo.

Matty Lavelle Goalkeeper Formerly with Preston NE and Southport, Matty joined the Motormen in the summer from Cammell Lairds. A talented goalie who has already proved a valuable asset to the squad. Outstanding shot stopper.

John Lynch Goalkeeper Previously with Conwy United and Mold Alexandra in the Welsh League, John was with Cammell Lairds last season before signing for the Motormen in August.

Tom Mitchell (Captain) An experienced back four player who has served Cammell Lairds, Skelmersdale United, Widnes and Atherton Collieries, winning the NWCL title with Widnes in 2016-17 season. A true leader at the back, who has also struck a couple of decisive goals.

Kynan Mason (full back) – now a cultured full back, Kynan can operate on either side of the back four. He began life as an attacking winger in his early days with Vauxhall Motors in the West Cheshire League before trying his luck with Cammell Lairds in the NWCFL a couple of years ago. Rejoined Motors in the summer.

Damian Schumacher (left back) – solid performer who is the son of former VMFC manager Alan. Damian was with VMFC a couple of years ago before trying his luck elsewhere, but has now returned to the fold and will be a very valuable member of the squad.

Kyle Scarisbrick right back) – As a youngster, Kyle was with Sheffield United before joining West Kirby in the West Cheshire League. Signed for the Motormen in the summer and has already proved his value. Kyle also has an eye for a goal.

Tom Quinn (defender) – Tom was with Crewe Alexandra on a YTS before joining Cammell Lairds.

Another summer capture who has settled in well in the back four and is an ever present thus far..

Josh Dures (defender) – Josh is a well-travelled defender who was with Ashville last season, joining the Motormen this summer.

Danny Cross (midfielder) – a hugely talented midfielder with an eye for goal, Danny was previously with Vauxhall Motors in the West Cheshire League before trying his luck over in Wales for a short time. Returned to England with Cammell Laird before making the switch back to VMFC this summer. Danny has already managed a good few goals this season.

Luke Edwards (midfielder) – another talented player who rarely wastes a pass. Luke was with VMFC a few seasons ago before moving off to play for Runcorn Linnets, St Helens and Congleton in the NWCL. Has now returned to the fold for the club’s new adventure in the NWCL and will undoubtedly prove to be an extremely useful member of the squad.

Sam Hunt (midfielder) – A former Cammell Lairds player who spent last season with rivals Ashville in the West Cheshire League.

Sam has an eye for goal Joe Brandon (midfielder) – a very talented youngster who has an eye for a goal.

For such a young man his slight build is deceptive as he is as strong as an ox and never gives up a chase. One for the future for sure.

Haydn Cooper (midfielder) – A talented midfielder who has previous experience with Radcliffe Borough and Mold Alexandra.

Another summer signing previously with Cammell Lairds, who has fitted in to the side very well.

Tom Murray (midfielder) – Has previous experience with Radcliffe Borough and Mold Alexandra. Was the player-of-the-season for last two years with Cammell Lairds but has been unfortunately sidelined since the start of the new season but finally made his Motors debut in late September.

Damian Schumacher (left back) – Kevin Exell (midfielder) – Kevin is a 21-yearold who has previously been with Chester FC and Runcorn Town. A clever player who has an eye for a defence-splitting pass and the occasional goal!

Ben Greenop (forward) – Ben came to the fore with Vauxhall a couple of seasons ago, before trying his luck with Witton Albion.

Spent last season with Ashville in the West Cheshire League. Holds the ball up well and is lethal in front of goal.

Ben Holmes (forward) – Ben likes to play out on the left but has already proved his value, scoring three goals in the opening three games in this league. Previously with Ashville, Conwy United and Cammell Lairds.

Had spells with Blackburn Rovers and Tranmere Rovers as a youngster. Has already contributed the most goals, scoring 8 in just nine starts Greg Drummond (utility) – Played for Fleetwood Town and Lancashire Youth before joining Cammell Lairds. Another summer capture from up the road, who began the season as a striker but already now converted to a full back. Unfortunbately, injury is likely to keep Greg sidelined for a short while.

Damase Kiwanda (forward) – Damase signed recenlt for |Motors having previously been with Hyde, Mossley, Northwich and Airbus. A strong running striker who celebrates his goals in a very special way!

Kieran Hamm (forward) – Another former Cammell Lairds player, Kieran’s small statue does not detract from his ability in the air, as well as his quality on the floor. Recently injured and likely to be sidelined for a good while.

Owen Kirkham (goalkeeper) – A former Wrexham YTS keeper, teenager Owen has already shown his quality between the posts this season for the first team, when called upon.
