THE ASSISTANT

TONY

FAULKNER I’d like to welcome the officials from my old club Cheshunt FC to Bayliss Avenue today and the players that I worked with whilst I was there, with Max Mitchell now playing for us at The Mead.

On to the game and our quest for points to get us a Play-Off place.

Our goal for sometime now has been 85 points and are working to 2 points a game to achieve that, so after the blip of the last two games, today is very important.

I thought we played really well against Maldon &Tiptree on Tuesday and if we hadn’t gone down to 10 men in the

last 25 mins, I’m sure we would have won the game.

We really should have been 3 nil up at half-time, but that’s football.

Harrison did really well when he went to full-back and the team overall defended resolutely when called upon.

Like I said to the players after the game, “if you can’t win, don’t lose”.

So you never know, that one point could be all the difference come the end of the season.

Welcome to the club Harry Prince

and Kye Jude from Redbridge and Burnham respectively. Harry and Kye have both been on our radar for a while and with Ainsley Everritt (loan) and Michael Azyia joining Peacehaven recently, plus the suspensions to come for Farai and Jack, it was a good time to bring them in.

In closing, all the staff and players wish Jack Hopkins all the best on his wedding to Kelly and we are all looking forward to him playing again soon after his long lay off.

Up the Mead!

THE BOARDROOM

PAUL

BOWDENBROWN

May I welcome the officials, players and supporters of Cheshunt FC to our home at SCT this Saturday afternoon, and hope after an enjoyable game and refreshments everyone has a safe journey home.

May I also say a hello to all of our season ticket holders, all of you have made this season totally awesome, as it’s great to see families enjoying themselves either on an afternoon or an evening watching their local team.

I must admit when I thought of this season’s £30 season ticket initiative it was only going to be for one season at the £30 rate, but I feel that as you have spent your hard earnt monies and committed your family time to support the club I should honour that commitment so I have decided to continue the initiative and it will still be at the price of £30 for the forthcoming season.

100 for next season, remember we are a community club and you are a part of the community.

To me the match on Monday was like a breath of fresh air after the long journey the squad and some supporters endured last Saturday travelling to Wroxham, a visit that was made that much more painful by being on the wrong end of a single goal result.

Wroxham started some 20 points below us at the start of the afternoon, but at full-time had pulled off a great win for their new manager who arrived on Thursday with the one aim of keeping them in the Ryman North League.

Al I ask is that you pass the information of the £30 season ticket on to all of your friends, neighbours and also the Mums and Dads who you meet picking up their children at the school gate, or your work colleagues.

Well if they play the way they did Saturday they will not make many friends. The officials officiating this match in my own opinion were without doubt the worst I have had the misfortune to watch at a NonLeague football match in 25 years.

Remember the only condition I ask is that any applicant must live within 5 miles of the football ground, come on we have 37 tickets let’s get it over

Now if you take the officials out of the equation our team did not play well, yes we lost Farai early in the first-half to his second sending off in

06

THAMESMEAD TOWN The Official Matchday Programme

two weeks, with a supposed elbow in the face, well the linesman did not see it, nor did every member of our team or theirs all we saw was a Oscar performance by the player.

The player was supposed to have received the elbow in the face rolling around the penalty area holding his head screaming as if he had been shot, he soon got up with no ill effect, so once again the referee was fooled, something we have suffered with on a number of occasions during this season.

We never recovered from the sending off and I personally thought it was a very disjointed display by a team I thought were trying to get into the Play-Offs but on this display that would not be a very good bet for any betting man.

I believe after the match that everyone involved should look at themselves and ask the one question are they up for the challenge of reaching the Play-Offs, because in my opinion such a display that all the supporters endured last Saturday showed that a large number of players were not up to the mark and

THE BOARDROOM

I believe by this time of the season we should have a settled team to be able to soak up the pressure remembering that at this time all the top teams have to play each other so 3 points would have been very beneficial so an afternoon to forget.

I took the opportunity to meet with an old friend Ray Honey who like me

“I have decided to continue the [season ticket] initiative and it will still be at the price of £30 for the forthcoming season” had supported the old league club Maidstone United as a Vice President for over 15 years before their demise and he became a very close personal friend of mine and he used to drive me all over the place in the early 8 years.

Three years ago he moved to the Wroxham area so although we talk on the phone we agreed to meet up to watch the game yesterday, the result was unfortunately but he said as usual Paul you always have a team that never gives up, but today he said was a bad day at the office.

Now is the time to move on and upwards you have always assembled a strong management team, together with a squad always with a number of exceptional players within the squad, his only critism was on the day the players were all operating with their own individual skills but not as a team for whatever reason, I am just thankful that for whatever reason this all changed on Monday evening and long may it continue.

Ray also said the following he advised me that the new manager came from Norwich FC a team at this time sits at the top of the league with no hope of anyone catching them, and hopefully will get promoted to our league is they wish at the end of the season.

He said the manager would bring a number of players from Norwich FC, which proved correct as there were 3 new names on the team sheet, but what he also said, Wroxhams type of football would change now he has joined, where Wroxham players in the past were young unexperienced players the reason they found themselves in the position they are at this time, they would now become players that would always be 100% be in the face of the Officials throughout the match, as well as the Management.

But one thing you will note is how he expects his players to put on a great display either when tacked or when they feel an Oscar acting degree is needed, well Ray was right because throughout the afternoon time was wasted and in the majority of times the referee ignored it leaving our management and players very frustrated, but as they say that’s Football, well if that’s what’s Non-League Managers feel is the right way to train their players I want nothing to do with it.

THE BOARDROOM

To me the match on Monday was like a breath of fresh air, and I hope that all of you that watched our game on Monday evening against Maldon & Tiptree have recovered from the end to end enthralling football that was played by both teams.

I personally think we deserved to win the game rather than the draw we had to accept at the end of 90 minutes. Especially as Maldon & Tiptree played a number of Colchester apprentices, something I do not agree with but we stuck to the job and on numerous occasions outplayed them.

All the players playing to their own strengths and becoming a successful playing unit, with just a couple of errors at the back all the evening, and great goalkeeping by Mr Walker this slick evening display by our team only clouded by another sending off this time Jack Barry who as the last man did all he could.

I felt he got to the ball but unfortunately the referee disagreed with than decision and awarded a red card and a penalty that made a draw a safe result in the end. I believe the players did take a long look at themselves after our recent result at Wroxham and did something about it with their feet and effort rather than words, it was a great evening for all those watching as well as the players.

Elsewhere it has been a very stimulating week our Director of Football Ian Docker and myself presented our view of how we intend to re structure the playing side of the club as from next season to the current youth committee, hopefully it was received as a forward looking initiative as we are

08

THAMESMEAD TOWN The Official Matchday Programme

well down the line in ensuring that this restructuring will take place during the forthcoming pre-season ensuring that this club has a fully professional development entity in place.

Now comes the time for me to get on my soap box about an issue that I’m afraid I have to raise. Please remember this club is a community club and to that end we have families with young children, as well as young teenagers joining us on match days.

Unfortunately due to recent circumstances, I believe we have let our own codes of conduct standards drop to a level which is NOT acceptable by any standards and I personally do not condone any sort of rudeness, swearing or any other actions that will upset others around us so be assured I do not care who the person is.

There are many ways to deal with a situation without using foul and abusive language as anyone who uses any type of the language that I’m referring to will quickly find out.

“Unfortunately due to recent circumstances, I believe we have let our own codes of conduct standards drop to a level which is NOT acceptable by any standards”

Anyone who commits these unacceptable actions whether it be a player, management or fellow supporter if they break this code of decency with foul language it will result in that person being asked to leave the club without hesitation and not to return.

We don’t want to ban anyone from coming to support our great club, but one thing that I will promise you here I will ban the perpetrators immediately and ask them to leave the premises and you will not be welcome back at the SCT for some considerable time - if ever!

I do not tolerate that type of language around me at work so why allow it around the club the supporters who deserve more from me whether it be on the field or off.

Now let’s enjoy this Saturdays afternoon of football and we all know that it is going to be a very hard fought match but hopefully last Saturday’s result will be a distant thought, and we gain three hard earned points to continue our attack for a Play-Off position something I believe this club deserves.

So I am now asking you - our valued supporters - for your help. If you feel anyone is using inappropriate language whilst you are at the ground please come at tell me either in the boardroom or in the Directors section. I promise that I will not bite you but I can assure you I will deal with your complaint.

Now let’s enjoy the game this afternoon.

Good afternoon All...

Tiptree side.

Welcome to Bayliss Avenue today as our boys take on Cheshunt who are also chasing those precious Play-Off places.

We go into today’s game confident and with the dream of Play-Offs still very much alive.

It was a disappointing game for all on Monday evening which saw us draw 2-2, finishing the game with only 10 men against a young (some may say much fitter) Maldon and

As this programme goes to print we only have one player potentially in doubt for today’s game but after almost a weeks rest I am hopeful he will come through ok.

I hope you enjoy today’s game, it no doubt promises to be a good one as both teams battle it out for those crucial 3 points!

Finally, I’d like to send my congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs Hopkins - best of luck to you both!

THE OPPOSITION

CHESHUNT

The quest for the Play-Offs continues for the Mead and they face a tough test coming up against an in-form Cheshunt side.

CLUB INFO Nickname: The Ambers Founded: 1946 Ground: Cheshunt Stadium Chairman: Dean Williamson Manager: Paul Wickenden Last Season: 18th

THAMESMEAD TOWN The Official Matchday Programme

The club are on a four-game winning run having beaten Dereham Town, AFC Hornchurch, Tilbury and more recently their 4-2 win over Heybridge Swifts.

That run has seen them climb into 5th by virtue of goal difference and know they need a win today to cement their Play-off ambitions.

With equal aspirations are Thamesmead who know they need to start winning games sooner rather than later in their quest for a top five finish. A win for the club could see them climb upto 8th if results went in their favour.

THE OPPOSITION

CLUB HISTORY

The original Cheshunt Football Club, based in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, was formed in or around 1880.

After finishing bottom four seasons on the trot and heavily in debt, they disbanded in 1931.

In July 1946, at a public meeting in the Co-op Hall in Waltham Cross, a group of local businessmen decided to resurrect the club retaining their amber and black colours and with Roy Bailey as their Manager.

They joined the Premier Division in the 1968-69 season and achieved respectable positions until winning the Athenian championship in the 197576. Cheshunt’s time in the premier division saw the clubs most successful period since the 40’s.

However the early seventies saw Cheshunt struggle financially and a merger with the wealthy yet homeless ‘Cheshunt Youth FC’ was needed to keep them afloat.

The club immediately applied and were accepted into the London League, playing in division one for the 1946-47 season. They finished runners-up and won the League Cup and Herts Charity Shield.

After several failed attempts, the 1977/78 season saw Cheshunt finally join the expanding Isthmian League playing in division two. They found little success until the 1981/82 season when they finished runners-up to Worthing and were promoted to division one.

Cheshunt then won the division one title in 1947/48 but stayed put in the same division. They won it again in 1948/49 season.

Cheshunt were relegated from division one at the end of 1983/84 season.

Apart from moving grounds, Cheshunt moved around various leagues. They were members of the Delphian league from 1951/52 and 1954/55, re-joined the London League between 1955/56 and 1958/59 and then left to become founder members of the Aetolian league between 1959/60 and 1961/62 all without achieving any notable success.

Cheshunt joined the Spartan League for the 1962/63 season and won the title at the first attempt.

For the 1964/65 season Cheshunt joined the Athenian League, playing in division two where they finished runners-up the following season under the management of Terry Medwin.

At the start of the 1986/87 season a mass walk out of committee, management and players - due to budget cuts and demands to see a first team comprised of former youth team players - lead to Cheshunt finishing bottom of division two and relegation into the Spartan League.

Cheshunt rejoined division three of the Isthmian League for the 1993/94 season and achieved promotion to division two at the first attempt.

Another mass walk by the committee and management came in 1995/96 but the meltdown of the eighties was avoided. Cheshunt were relegated to division three in 1997/98 but bounced back immediately the following season.

In season 2002/03, Cheshunt won the division two title, reached three cup finals and also achieved the necessary ground-grading to play at a higher level.

With the FA restructuring of the non-league pyramid taking effect for the following season, Cheshunt were promoted to the Isthmian Premier division for season 2004/05.

After much internal disruption midway through the season, Cheshunt found themselves relegated on the final day of the season by the narrowest of margins only to then find themselves saved due to the disbandment of Hornchurch that summer.

However, the Ambers then found themselves moved across into the Southern league where they spent a memorable 2005-6 season.

2007/08 saw the club break plenty of records for all the wrong reasons. Five managers took up residence in the hotseat.

Relegation was all but assured by the time Boateng took charge of the team and the inevitable was duly made a certainty at Easter when a 2-1 defeat at Banbury Utd sealed our fate.

Cheshunt were placed in the Ryman Division 1 North for the 2008/09 season finishing 14th. The 2009/10 season saw a new squad and a new management team of Bob Dearie and Barry Green to Theobalds Lane.

In 2011 Cheshunt Sports & Leisure Ltd took over the Club with Dean Williamson installed as Chairman. The new company is looking to invest in the club, both on and off the pitch, and take the club forward.

FROM THE SECRETARY’S DESK

FROM THE SECRETARY’S DESK Good afternoon everyone welcome back to SCT for another Ryman League fixture against Cheshunt we hope their brief stay visit is enjoyable but fruitless.

Last Saturday saw us make our longest journey of the season to Norfolk to face Wroxham, the long journey brought unfortunately another inconsistent performance and the home side snatched a 1-0 home win.

I know Terry was disappointed with both the result and performance it was a bad result in as far as our PlayOff hopes go.

Last Monday saw us welcome Maldon & Tiptree to SCT in a very evenly fought match the final scoreline of 2-2 was about right.

forward strong and outplayed us on the day, they too are looking to make the Play-Offs so today is another big marker for us.

Goals from Lee Prescott and Jack Barry gave us the lead twice on the night but Maldon pegged it back to earn a point. A much better performance was marred by another sending off Jack Barry being dismissed this had followed Farai Hallam’s dismissal up at Wroxham last Saturday too.

On the player front we have completed the signings of Harry Prince from Redbridge and Kye Jude from Burnham Ramblers welcome too you both to Thamesmead Town FC. On the departure front Michael Aziyia has joined Peacehaven and Telscombe in the Ryman south, we wish him well at his new club.

Today’s match will be another tough one, I was impressed with Cheshunt earlier in the season when we visited them they were very sharp going

Enjoy this evening’s game.

MATTERS SPORT RELIEF 2016 WANT TO HELP THE MEAD DO OUR BIT FOR THE APPEAL? Join us for the TTFC Sport Relief Mile… As you may be aware, this year’s fund raising event will take place over the weekend of March 18th – 20th but as we’re away to BURY TOWN that weekend, we’re going to stage our own “Sport Relief Mile” (in conjunction with the “new” Sainsbury’s at Abbey Wood) on Saturday 12th March before our home to Waltham Abbey!

Our mile will begin at the store and end at the SCT. Now we know that by road the distance is over the mile, but we’ve estimated that by literally “going cross country” avoiding the main roads, the actual distance is just over a mile!

We’ve invited the club’s Patron – the Rt. Hon Teresa Pearce MP – to start the walk for us, and possibly join in as well!

If you want to take part and help raise funds, please see MIKE GREEN at any of our forthcoming home games for a sponsorship form. Alternatively drop Greenie an email at the club and he’ll mail a form to you…

Please help us to support a wonderful cause!

CONGRATS TO JACK AND KELLY We’d like to send our congratulations to JACK HOPKINS and his new wife Kelly who tied the knot at a ceremony at Cooling Castle in Kent.

We’re told that they had a great day and we’re all now looking for Jack to finally return to first-team action upon his return from honeymoon.

We also hope to include some pictures of their big day in coming editions of The Mead…

We’ve received confirmation that our away game with Haringey Borough (incidentally the only team to actually play their home games in White Hart Lane) – originally called off on Saturday 7th November – has been scheduled for St David’s Day (Tuesday 1st March) with a 7:45 kick off – we hope!

In light of all the recent discussions in the press about ticket prices in the Premier League, the message from the Chairman is an important one and shows that one club at least values the support from you - the Mead faithful!

In today’s column from the Chairman, there’s a very important message for Season Ticket Holders - old and new - about next season!

SEPERATED AT BIRTH It’s been brought to our attention that our very own FARAI HALLAM could have a long lost relation playing in the Premier League - what do you think?

THE UNDER 21S

THE UNDER 21s with Gary Ryan Good afternoon everyone...

Our last game saw us produce our performance of the season so far!

We came up against a strong Enfield Town side that has only been beat once all season! And unfortunately for them it was us!

And this occasion was no different!

We started the brightest of both sides and deservedly went 1-0 up courtesy of Ainsley Everett from a set piece. For the last 20 minutes of the half we were chasing shadows and could not retain possession . But Enfield failed to hurt us. We defended with ease at times but we’re very busy!

At half-time we changed our formation to attack Enfield from wide areas. In my opinion we have 2 of the most talented wingers in the u21s Ryman league with Elliot Usher and Sam Orisotoki. And it didn’t take long to get the result we were looking for.

Not long after the break Elliot broke down the right and slipped past the left back to slot home our second! A great bit of wide play by the young lad.

Matthew Okapo was then introduced and within 5 minutes claimed a penalty for us which saw Ainsley grab his 2nd of the evening with a clinical finish from the spot. Our 4th of the 20

THAMESMEAD TOWN The Official Matchday Programme

night came with 10 minutes to play thanks to a great strike by forward Ryan Young.

We totally dominated the game and fully deserved to gain all 3 points.

We’ve now took 6 points off Enfield this year and scored have scored seven - a fantastic achievement as I’m sure they will be right up there challenging for the league this season!

We have also got some fantastic news regarding our future next season. I will be staying on next season and we are planning to go into a senior reserve league as a team in our own right! It will help hugely with the development and progression of our players as we will be playing every week. We can’t produce future 1st team players at u21 level with 14 games a year - its just impossible!

Although we haven’t done that bad this year with Elliot Usher, Jeremiah

Efe, Max Ovenden, Phillipe Blaetter and Charlie Himbury all making their senior debuts from the u21s.

Something I’m personally very proud of!

I‘ve said before that the opportunity the young players have at the club with Terry and Tony in charge is unbelievable. They continue to look at and involve the youngsters on a weekly basis. Reminds me of an old saying” if your good enough your old enough”. I can only thank them for that and as a club we should be proud!

As for achievements as you’ve already read, young Sam Orisotoki has been away this week in Spain with the u18s England school boys squad. All of us at the club are extremely proud to be a small part in Sam’s development.

Well done Sam! Gary Ryan

MALDON & TIPTREE

Prescott (25), Barry (58)

Roast (43), McQueen (63 pen)

Monday 15th February 2016 | Ryman League Division One North | Sporting Club Thamesmead | Att: 98

Ahead twice, pegged back twice and finishing with Andy Walker making two sensational saves in the closing stages as the Mead earned a point in a hugely enjoyable contest on a freezing cold Thamesmead Monday night.

box was somehow tipped over – the strike was magnificent; the save was sensational!

Maldon are to be credited for playing their part in the game, and it was the visitors who almost struck first as a drive from distance stung Walk’s finger tips early on as the Mead keeper pulled off a super save.

They could even have been in front as in stoppage time Mills raced clear and as Walks advanced, the striker tried to lift the ball over the keeper but only succeeded in lobbing the balls into his arms.

Maldon keeper Phillips then had a rush of blood as Tyrus GordonYoung chased a ball down the right channel. The keeper came out to the edge of his box and then allowed the Mead striker to sprint past him.

Unfortunately for the home side, Tyrus ran out of room and hit the side netting from a very acute angle.

The second half began with the Mead in the ascendency and Paul Vines shot straight at the keeper after Tyrus laid off Jay’s cross, before the Mead’s top scorer was denied by another fine Phillips save as he cut in after being played through down the left.

Moments later though the keeper was beaten by Lee Prescott from almost the same position as the midfielder curled the ball over the wall past a statuesque Phillips and into the net.

Phillips was to gain his “revenge” moments later as Jay Porter’s thunderbolt from the edge of the

The visitors had had plenty of possession but apart from their early chance hadn’t really threatened until full back Roast connected with a great volley on the angle from a corner to drive the visitors level before half-time.

The home side duly re-established the lead just past the hour as Max’s corner was bundled home by Jack Barry – Jack’s third goal in six days.

Sadly for the Mead skipper his night was to take a severe downward dip just five minutes later as he was shown a straight red card for bringing down Mills just inside the box. From the naked eye, opinion was split as to

whether Jack had in fact got the ball, but when the incident was reviewed in replay, the referee was correct.

McQueen duly drove home the spot kick.

The ten men could have retaken the lead for the third time on 82 minutes but after Marc Gorbell’s header from a corner fell to Theo FairweatherJohnson who’s instant shot on the turn flew over the bar.

The visitors will think that they should have won the game in the closing stages as Walks made not one but two stunning saves – the first had Newson shaking his head as the Mead stopper tipped his shot over, whilst in stoppage time, Walks had substitute Nwachaky holding his head by tipping his shot round the post.

Was this a point won for the home side or two lost? In the final analysis, you have to say the former, but boss Terry Spillane will know that the dropped points means that getting three against Play-Off rivals Cheshunt in the mead’s next game now becomes even more important.

NON-LEAGUE PAPER

Steven Coney of the Non-League Paper discusses how the FA could be pouring cold water on the “Non-League Finals Day”...

Just when you thought the Football Association were going to give the Non-League game its moment in the limelight, the governing body look to have put their foot in it.

The FA are considering a third game during the ‘Non-League Finals Day’ at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, May 22.

No, not an FA Inter League Cup final, not an FA Sunday Cup final but an England game beamed on the giant screens at the famous arch. Plenty of people involved in grass-roots championed the idea of a festival of football at Wembley including both the Vase and Trophy finals - a chance to showcase the beautiful game at our level.

Yes, recent attendances to both finals haven’t been great and of course that will raise the age old question of whether they need to be moved away from the home of English football Surely the answer is in the name - the home of English football.

Grass-roots is the beating heart of football in this country and even Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger this week conceded that there was great quality lying below the professional leagues.

By speaking to players, managers 22

THAMESMEAD TOWN The Official Matchday Programme

and chairman at clubs who have been involved in great Trophy and, especially Vase, runs you discover the great appetite a final at Wembley brings. How tiny towns and villages can become football mad in a matter of days.

They don’t want it being moved away and neither do we. Apart from missing out on a dream trip to the great stadium, it sends a worrying message to football at our level. These are, in some instances, players playing just for their petrol money and they’ve got the chance of turning out on the same green grass as the game’s greats.

This was supposed to be NonLeague’s day. Just for a few hours, the grass-roots heroes were the big story - this has to remain the case. The FA are considering letting the England national team play on the same day, at pretty much the same time as the FA Trophy final.

The yet-to-be-arranged game, probably being hosted at Manchester City, could then be shown live on the big screens. As ideas go, it’s one of the worst.

Of course, England’s build-up to the European Championships in France is important but this was supposed to

be our day, Non-League’s day, so just let us have it.

Is a, in the grand scheme of things, meaningless friendly really that important that fans need to see it?

Fans who have paid good money to watch a carnival of Non-League action? I can’t see this going down well.

It all started so promisingly as the FA announced last week that tickets for the double-header would be priced at just £25 for adults, £10 for concessions and £1 for children under 16. People have been crying out for this for years.

Give us a day where Non-League takes over and shows why it is regarded as so special by so many.

The FA claims “the day will provide an opportunity to showcase the worldleading English Non-League system, recognise the 572 teams to have taken part in this season’s Vase and the 276 in the Trophy, and celebrate the grassroots game through activities and fan engagement during the day”.

Surely they realise that by forcing the English national team down our throats via Wembley’s giant screens while Non-League players showcase their skills on the pitch, it completely goes against that previous paragraph?

COMMERCIAL CORNER

COMMERCIAL NEWS

with Mike Green

Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to the SCT! Its hard to believe that we’ve only ten weeks left in the regular season - ten weeks to stay in contention for post season Play-Offs which has been our target for some time - a target that must surely still be in our sights so long as its still mathematically possible.

What terrific news from the Chairman elsewhere in today’s “The Mead”about next seasons Season Tickets - with all the recent poor publicity that top flight clubs have endured over next seasons prices, what a terrific refreshing change that a football club is appreciating the backing of their supporters and freezing prices.

We hope that renewal notices will be despatched in the next month or so for existing ST holders whilst we’re hoping that new ones will available before the current season finishes.

Now that the half term holidays are over, I’ve got a couple of meetings planned over the next couple of

weeks as we look to extend our reach further into local schools and invite some into the club. More on that I hope in the next column.

the M25, and to all Mead fans don’t forget we’re home again in two weeks time when we welcome Soham Town Rangers.

As you’ll read in Mead Matters, as we’re not at home on Sport Relief Weekend, we’re looking to hold our own “Sport Relief Mile”a week early - on Saturday 12th March, prior to our home game with Waltham Abbey.

Cheers

If you’d like to join us on the walk - and trust me it will be a walk and not a run - see me as soon as you can so that I can give you full details and more importantly a sponsorship form!

Greenie If your company would like to sponsor a forthcoming home game, please see Greenie TODAY or contact him on commercialttfc@live.co.uk or alternatively 07845 751319

Take care everyone - to our friends from Cheshunt a safe return around THAMESMEAD TOWN vs Cheshunt

THE CLEAN SHEET CHALLENGE

CLEAN SHEET CHALLENGE

10

CLEAN SHEET TOTAL Following the success of last season’s Clean Sheet Challenge, the club is delighted that once again this season we are seeking your support to raise money for charity, but this year we’re doing it for two charities rather than just one!

Last season, Rob Budd and Vicente Mansanet between them kept 14 clean sheets as we raised money for Cancer Research UK – the final total will be revealed soon, and it is worth waiting for!

Throughout this season, we’re delighted once again to be working with our friends from Cancer Research, but we will also be raising funds for London’s Air Ambulance, the registered charity that delivers an advanced trauma team to critically injured people in London in a bright red helicopter! We’ll learn more about what the LAA do in an upcoming programme.

If you want to contribute - and we hope that you will - we’re in the process of setting up a Just Giving web page for this season, or alternatively there’s always the old fashioned way of filling out the sponsorship form that you’ll find in the boardroom!
