A WORD FROM THE MANAGER

KEN CHARLERY

Good evening everyone and welcome to London Conley FC. id also like to extend a warm welcome to Buckingham Athletic FC board and players.

After a good start to the season we know in our game against WGC FC last week that we didn't do ourselves any favours and we are working to amend.

We have been going full pelt since the season started with games on Saturdays and Tuesdays so small niggles and injuries are taking its toll on a reasonably small squad but we won't use that as an excuse and other players in squad have a chance to cement a first team place.

We are appreciative of your continued support and look forward to seeing you at our next game

“ iNJURiES ARE TAKiNG iTS TOLL

Ken

ON A REASONABLY SMALL SQUAD BUT WE WON'T USE THAT AS AN ExCUSE ”

MIND YOUR LANGUAGE

DELETE THAT EXPLETIVE! Our Club is fully supportive of the Leagues’ Mind Your Language Initiative, to eradicate offensive behaviour within these grounds.

It is our wish for everybody to feel comfortable here and to encourage everyone, especially younger people to enjoy their time with us, this won’t happen if they are listening to constant foul and offensive language.

Cheer your team, enjoy the day, but keep those swear words far away… …it could cost us money in fines!!!!

BUCKINGHAM ATHLETIC FC

CLUB HISTORY Buckingham Athletic Football Club (The Swans) was formed in 1933 as Buckingham Juniors, but it was 1936 before a ground was acquired and the Club entered the Brackley & District League. in 1939 the name changed to Buckingham Athletic as they moved to the North Bucks League but it took another 21 years before they won their first trophy lifting the North Bucks Shield in 1960/61 and were runnersup in the North Bucks League 61/62.

After 3 years of playing in the North Bucks League the club applied to the Hellenic League and were accepted and moved into the Hellenic League Division 1. in their first season, 65/66, they finished a creditable mid-table position but also won the Berks & Bucks FA Junior Cup. in 68/69 the Swans were promoted to the Hellenic Premier Division after finishing as Division 1 Runnersup. in 78/79, after a steady decline of fortunes the Club returned to the North Bucks League and it wasn’t until the mid-eighties that further success was achieved.

This was the start of a successful period for the club, Jerry Coughlan took over as manager and in 83/84 they beat Leighton Old Boys 2-1 to win the NBL Premier Division Shield and the following season, 84/85, they won the NBL Premier Division without losing a game, a tremendous achievement.

At this time the club applied to move to the South Midlands League, and were 08 LCFC

subsequently placed in Division 1 which was won at the first attempt losing only 3 games throughout the season. However success came too quickly and the ground facilities were not ready for promotion to the Premier Division so they had to remain in Division 1.

The 90/91 season saw the First Team crowned as SML Division 1 Champions and completing the double by winning the O’Brien Trophy. This together with all three sides playing through to the quarter-finals stages of the county cup competitions it was an exciting season. With the stand and railings now in place, promotion to the Premier Division was granted and in 1993 the club took a huge move forward by having floodlights installed.

The next 10 years the club saw a real turn in fortune and despite many changes in management trophies were consistently won through the period with major success coming in the County Cups. 95/96 the 1st team reach the Stantonbury Charity Cup Final while the Reserves bounced back and won the Reserve Division 2. The youth team were runners-Up in the U17 Elsevier Oxford inter Counties Youth League.

96/97, Jim Gunn steered the Club to 5th in the SML Premier Division winning three cup competitions along the way. The team retained the Stantonbury Charity Cup, beat Welwyn Garden City in the SML Challenge Trophy and Hoddesdon in the SML Floodlight Cup.

The Reserves won the Division 1 title and there were appearances in the Reserve Challenge Trophy Final and semi-finals of both the SML Floodlight Cup and Berks & Bucks Junior Cup. The Youth Team also got into the act as they won the Elsevier Oxford inter Counties Youth League and also reached the final of the Berks & Bucks Youth Cup but had to settle for runners-up. in season 97/98 brought about a tough period of time for the club and they had to make the difficult decision to drop out of the top flight and dropped down to Division 2 for financial reasons.

Six years went by with little success but with Steve Cole and Keith Walker bringing a level of stability in 02/03 there was a turn in fortune winning the SML Division 2 in convincing fashion, with over 100 goals scored. Success also came in the Berks & Bucks intermediate Cup as the club won the trophy for the first time in its history. A cup double was almost achieved as they finished runners up in the League Cup. The Reserves also did well as they finished 3rd in their league but won the Reserves Challenge Cup. in the clubs first season back in Division 1, 03/04 the 1st team finished midway in the league but once again had good success in the cups as they retained the Berks & Bucks intermediate Cup and almost done a cup double but lost to Langford in the Division One cup. Andy O’Dell and Brian Sparkes took over as youth team managers and won the Allied Counties League and were promoted to the Premier League.

Neal Kidwell took the reins and in his first season, 04/05, finished runners-up in Division 1 but missed out on promotion due to a misunderstanding in ground grading.

However, the biggest achievement was for the club to reach the Berks & Bucks intermediate Cup final for the 3rd year in succession but unfortunately could not bring the trophy home. The youth team reached the final of the Berks & Bucks Youth Cup but also had to settle for runners-up.

Since 2005/06 a huge amount of work has taken place to upgrade the clubhouse and football facilities but the amount of success on the field has been sparse. Managers have come and gone over the last 10 years Andy O’Dell, Colin Callingham, Paul Bowley and Jim Gunn have all tried to bring stability to the club but unfortunately it has only been mid table finishes at best.

However, the2010-11 season did give the club some silverware with the reserve team winning the Berks & Bucks Junior Cup Final. in 2012-13 Saw Damien Wiffin take over as manager and finish 11th, Matt Ogle took the reserves to 6th in the league. The following season the 1st team reached the final of the Buckingham Senior Charity Cup for the first time in nearly 40 years but were beaten by Banbury in a close game.

2014-15 despite a disappointing league campaign Athletic once again reached the final of the Buckingham Senior Charity Cup but went one better by winning the trophy for the first time since 1972, beating Brackley and Banbury along the way beating Olney Town 6-2 in the final.

Management changed again during the 2015-16 season with Mark Carter and Paul Hassell taking the helm and once again has brought a level of stability to the club – finishing in the top 10 in consecutive seasons it has brought about a sense of optimism. Mark has set about building his side with youth in mind and was instrumental in bringing in youth team manager Steve Farmborough to the club for season 2016-17.

The youth team ended up winning the Allied Counties Central League and also reached the final of the Berks & Bucks County Youth cup but lost out 3-2 to Mursley.
