A Team

WELCOME BACK

to the Mundy Playing Fields, Home of Thornbury Town FC Dear Supporters, Players and Members, As you may already be aware, our Club is being financially hit hard by the effects of the Covid-19 virus.

The early finish to the season meant our lucrative 6-a-side tournament was cancelled, our senior race night was cancelled and revenue for seven first team matches was lost.

Going forward junior membership subscriptions have been reduced to compensate for last season's abrupt finish but inevitably sponsorship money for kit and boards will be decimated.

It is anticipated this will cost the club in the region of ÂŁ10,000.

In addition to this, with the season starting in September, social distancing will mean less spectators and diminished bar takings at first team games.

We are intending to add a new stand and reposition the existing one to significantly improve the matchday experience for all of our supporters. This will also clear the way for our Club to attain a higher level if we were to finish in a promotion position.

We would like to think we are a club the town is proud of and we are always striving to improve our standing within the community.

With all this in mind, the Club has set up a Crowdfunding site to recover the shortfall.

Any amount raised will be matched by Sport England up to the value of the first ÂŁ5,000 raised. Other clubs in the area have taken advantage of this offer.

You can donate via the link on our new look website, thornburytown.co.uk.

EDITOR'S NOTES Good evening and welcome to today's Hellenic League game against Hereford Lads Club.

Little did I know when writing my opening notes for our game against Patchway Town in the GFA Challenge Trophy on the 7th January, that it would turn out to be our last home game until tonight.

It's great to be able to welcome our local community back to the Mundys and we hope that you have all kept yourselves well and haven't missed football too much! Thank you to all of our supporters and people in the community that are keyworkers and have helped kept Thornbury, Bristol and the entire country healthy and running in the past 6 months.

We also have lots going on behind the scenes with further ground improvements completed or planned. The changing rooms have been given a refresh with new flooring and fittings.

We will be relocating the stand to the far side touchline, as well as double seating capacity with a second stand alongside it.

The club has also secured separate planning permission to extend the pavilion at the Mundys to improve our clubhouse facilities in the future.

There are lots going on within the club and I'm sure the whole of Thornbury Town from Under 6s to our First Team will be back stronger!

Enjoy the game!

Even though everyone behind the scenes were disappointed that the season was curtailed and any promotion hopes quashed, the lads are ready to go again.

THORNBURY TOWN Club History It is understood that football has been played in Thornbury from around 1898 and formerly known as Thornbury Sports became Thornbury Town FC in the early 1970’s.

Mundy Playing Fields has been the home of the club since the end of World War Two although changing facilities were sited in local places such as the Exchange Hotel, which is now The Knot of Rope.

1968-69 we became founder members of the Gloucestershire County League and spectator figures in excess of 500 were regularly recorded. In 1971 the club finished third in the Gloucestershire County League and was accepted into the Western League. However, due to difficulties in bringing the facilities up to the leagues required standards were unable to take the next step up. Relegation to the Bristol Premier Combination League unfortunately followed in 1976-77.

The following 20+ years saw Thornbury Town strive to regain their former status, never really threatening to take the Premier Combination title. The only success during these lean years was reaching the final of the GFA Senior Amateur Cup in 1985-86 and 1989-90 unfortunately on both occasions loser’s medals were received.

During the late 1990’s, the Club maintained its strong focus on developing local talent and this eventually bore fruit in 1999 when the final of the Stroud Charity Cup was reached, losing narrowly to Dursley Town. 2001-02 season

Thornbury Town v Hereford Lads Club

saw the management team of Dave Wiffill and Steve Burbage take the reins, which brought instant success winning the Bristol Premier Combination title by 13 points and a return to the Gloucestershire County League. This followed a run of thirteen consecutive league wins a club record, which still stands to this day. The league and cup double eluded the club when they were defeated by Sea Mills in the League Cup Final.

In preparation for the return to County League football the summer of 2002 saw a lot of hard work undertaken on the Mundy facilities with the building of dug-outs, improved drainage and revamping of the dressing rooms. All this work appeared to have been worth while with the club establishing itself back in the Gloucestershire County league with a creditable 7th league position for the next three seasons. Silverware did come our way in 2003-04 when we defeated Taverners on penalties, after a 2-2 draw, to lift the Stroud Charity Cup. The 2003-04 season, also saw the formation of an Under-18’s side under the management of Terry Payton in order to maintain Youth development within the club and they gained entry to the Gloucester County Youth League.

Following a number of indifferent seasons when relegation back to the Bristol Premier Combination league was only just averted in 2006–07, a new management committee and first team management were appointed. Dave Lippiatt took over as first team manager, coming to the club from Sea Mills Park bringing with him Carl Derosa as his assistant. With an initial

three / four year strategy, which came to fruition during the 2009-10 season when after a steady first half to the season a tremendous winning run of ten league games saw the Surridge Gloucestershire County League title won for the first time in the clubs history. 2010 also saw the milestone achievement of the long awaited coming together of the two local football clubs “Thornbury Town FC” and “Thornbury Falcons FC” now under one club management umbrella of Thornbury Town FC without losing the heritage and identity of Thornbury Falcons. This will further enhance the long term development within the local community for junior, youth and senior football.

In the 2010-11 season the final of the Les James Cup Final was reached, which resulted in a penalty shoot-out disappointment against Henbury Town. 2013-14 saw the U18’s in their highest league position in the Gloucestershire County Youth League finishing runners-up, which was a tremendous achievement for the team and managers Simon Pirie and Mark Franklin.

The 2014-15 season was a very successful season finishing 4th in the league and winning the Les James Cup for the first time in the Club’s history. Andy Davies continues to produce a team of quality which resulted in a third 4th-place in a row in Season 2016-17.

2017-18 saw the club finally succeed in their quest win the Gloucestershire County League.

After a lot of work behind the scenes to gain planning permission for the required ground improvements, the club were accepted into the Hellenic League for the first time in our history.

Our first season in the Hellenic League saw us finish a creditable 3rd in Div 1 West and win the Supplementary Cup. 2019-2020 season was ruled null and void due to the Coronavirus pandemic with the team poised to gain promotion. With a new management team of Jason Rees and Gary Kemp in place we look forward to the season ahead and wish all teams the best of luck in their endeavours.

Saturday 12th September - Uhlsport Hellenic League Div 1 West

CLANFIELD 85 0 THORNBURY TOWN 3 LANCASTLE (2), WORMWELL After a good pre-season Thornbury opened their league campaign with a trip to Oxfordshire.

Historically not a good hunting ground and with a number of players missing due to injury & holiday it wasn’t going to be an easy afternoon.

Things didn’t start well when the kit was held up on the M4 and Thornbury were forced to wear Clanfield’s change strip.

Clanfield started the stronger and the first ten minutes saw them squander a couple of good chances with Thornbury rarely out of their own half Brandon Benjamin was pressing forward from midfield and the half hour mark saw him shoot wide and have a penalty shout waved away by the referee.

Just when it looked as if the teams would turn around at nil-nil, stoppage time at the end of the half saw that man again, Craig Lancastle, tuck one away in the bottom corner almost out of nothing.

Thornbury Town v Hereford Lads Club

There was still time for Clanfield to have a goal disallowed and the home supporters certainly felt the scoreline didn’t reflect the first 45 minutes of play but Thornbury, with captain Pete Fowler back to full fitness, had defended well.

Once again Clanfield started the half stronger and young ‘keeper Mackenzie Welsh, on a dual registration with Bath City, was off his line well to smother an attack and then saved well low to his right.

Thornbury were playing deeper and deeper but breaking well and on 70 minutes Lancastle hit the bar only for the rebound to find Frazer Moss who crossed for Lancastle to double the lead The game opened up as Clanfield looked for a reply only to see Marcus Wormwell cut in from the right to find the corner of the net in the 80th minute and it was game over So, with Clanfield having more possession and more shots the headline in the Clanfield Chronicle is likely to be “Robin’s Robbed” but there is only one stat that counts and that is the number of goals.
