Welcome to Woodstock Park from The Club Secretary
Good evening everyone. Welcome to
Woodstock Park.
Our visitors are Worthing. Welcome to their
players, officials and supporters and also to
this evenings match officials.
Our poor run in the league goes on. On Saturday
we made the short trip to Hythe to
play a team who not so long ago were in our
position. They have turned their season
round though and are now in a comfortable
mid table position. Defensively we have
done fairly well but you only have to look at
the number of goals we have scored to see
where the problem lies. I am sure that the
forwards would think that the service to
them has been poor and they would have a
point. Hythes first goal should never have
happened. Hythe were awarded a harsh
free kick around 25 yards from the Sittingbourne
goal. A poor touch by a Hythe
player who tried to pass the ball to his right
was intercepted by new signing Steven Ita.
The referee, wrongly, pulled Ita up for encroaching
on the free kick and cautioned
him. Ex Folkestone forward, Frankie Sawyer
took the kick again and shot at goal. Unfortunately
for the Brickies the ball struck a defender
and was diverted into the goal. At
this stage Sittingbourne players were more
than holding their own and must have felt
agrieved at the referees decision. We had
chances to equalise but as has been the
pattern recently none were taken. In the 80 th
minute Sawyer scored his second in a
breakaway as Sittingbourne were searching
for an equaliser.
John’s Jottings
Last Tuesday we travelled to Hastings for
our third round League Cup tie. Nick played
two of our Under 21 team in Jack Steventon
and Josh Wisson. Both were outstanding in
an excellent team display. The passion that
sometimes seems to be missing in League
matches was there in abundance. Hastings
went into the lead in the first half but Sittingbourne
came out all guns blazing in the
second . The pressure on Hastings was rewarded
when Ollie Bankole scored against
his old club. The game went to penalties
and at one stage it looked like we were going
out of the cup with the penalty score at 3
-1 to Hastings. However two Hastings penalty
misses and Wisson and Steventon
made the score 3-3. And so to sudden
death. Hastings missed their penalty and
Conrad Lee stepped up to score and take
the Brickies through to the Quarter Finals.
Adam Molloy was outstanding in goal in this
game and made two penelty saves in the
penalty competition. This was an excellent
win against a full strength Hastings side.
Worthing are flying high in the league in
second place. Saturday they drew 1-1 with
Tooting & Mitcham. We will have to improve
greatly on Saturdays performance to get anything
out of tonights match.
Welcome to Steven Ita who joins us from
Herne Bay. Steven is an ex Woodstock
Sports player who was a target for Nick at
the beginning of the season so we are
pleased he has joined us now. Leaving us is
Ollie Brown who is expected to join Ramsgate.
Finally, I would like to thank one of our
staunchest supporters, Neil Cornelius, better
known as “Southend Brickie”. On Saturday,
Neil handed me a plastic bag full of
change and said it was for the club. He told
me that it was the change he had left over
when he gets home to Southend after his
trips to support the Brickies. When I counted
it there was £68.00 in the bag! It never
ceases to amaze me how generous our
supporters are. Like most clubs every penny
counts with us and Neil’s fantastic donation
was most welcome
Next Saturday we take a trip to Surrey to
play Molesey.
Enjoy the Match

From the Chairman
Was over the moon with last Tuesday's result breaking our sequence.
With key players cup tied it was good to see the youngsters pull us
through. On the back of that the defeat at Hythe on Saturday was a huge
body blow and dropping into the bottom three really puts us in a serious
position. We all felt if we replicated our form of last Tuesday on Saturday
we could have got something at Hythe.
No let up tonight as we give a warm welcome to high flying Worthing who
won't make our quest for points very easy. Thanks to everyone for their
continued support through these very difficult times.

WORTHING — A BRIEF HISTORY
Worthing Association FC was founded in February
1886 and played home matches mostly in the
People's (now Homefield) Park until the Club
moved to Beach House Park in 1889.
Worthing were founder members of the West Sussex
Senior League in 1896, along with their local
rivals Worthing Athletic (founded 1891). The first
of 7 championships was won in 1898-99, qualifying
Worthing to play the East Sussex League
champions Brighton Athletic in the Sussex Charity
Cup donated by the Royal Irish Rifles. This match
was lost 2-1, but we went on to win the RUR Cup
(as it became known) 13 times (including twice
jointly with Horsham).
In 1899-00 the name "Association" was dropped
and we entered the FA Cup and FA Amateur Cup
for the first time.
In May 1900 Worthing and Worthing Athletic
merged and in 1901 the Club moved to its current
home, then known as the Sports Ground, now as
Woodside Road. There was further merger, this
time with Worthing Rovers in 1905.
In 1907-08 Worthing reached the quarter-finals of
the FA Amateur Cup, where we drew 1-1 away to
the eventual winners Depot Battalion Royal Engineers,
before losing the replay 1-0 before a then
record crowd of over 3,100.
After World War I, in 1919-20, Worthing competed
in 2 leagues, being founder members of the
Senior Division of the Brighton, Hove & District
League and rejoining the West Sussex League.
The FA Cup 1 st Round Proper was reached in 1936
-37, Worthing losing 4-3 at Yeovil & Petters United.
In the 4 th Qualifying Round we had beaten
Wimbledon in front of our highest reported crowd
of 3,600.
In 1948-49 Worthing joined the Corinthian
League. Little success was had in this league, finishing
bottom 4 times.
The Corinthian League became Division 1 of the
Athenian League in 1963 and Worthing enjoyed
immediate success, being promoted as runnersup
to Leatherhead.
Three seasons were spent in the Athenian League
Premier Division before two successive relegations
saw us languishing in Division 2. Worthing started
their revival in 1971-72 by returning to Division 1
as runners-up to Staines Town and the following
season reached the Athenian League Cup final,
losing 2-0 away to Amateur Cup finalists Slough
Town after extra-time.
Worthing left the Athenian League in 1977 to become
members of the newly formed Isthmian
League Division 2. Barry Lloyd was appointed
manager in 1981 and the Division 2 title was won
in 1981-82 and in 1982-83 we won the Division 1
title and reached the 2 nd Round of the FA Cup,
losing 4-0 at Oxford United.
In 1985-86 we reached the last 16 of the FA Trophy;
then Barry Lloyd left to join Brighton & Hove
Albion and the following year Worthing were relegated
from the Premier Division. Four years later
we had a disastrous season, finishing bottom of
Division 1 with only 10 points and having conceded
157 goals.Former Northern Ireland international
Gerry Armstrong was appointed manager in
1991-92 and the following season Worthing became
the first club to win Division 2 for a second
time.
Armstrong left in the summer of 1994 to be replaced
by his coach John Robson. Premier Division
status was regained as runners-up to Boreham
Wood in his first season and the FA Cup 1 st Round
reached again (losing 3-1 at AFC Bournemouth
after taking the lead).
Worthing finished bottom in their first season
back in the Premier and Robson was replaced as
manager. Others followed before Brian Donnelly
became manager at Christmas 1996. "Sammy"
was to remain manager until November 2001
when Barry Lloyd returned for his second spell in
charge.
In 2001 Worthing celebrated 100 years of playing
at Woodside Road and in 2003-04 regained our
Premier Division place. But relegation followed in
2007 The management partnership of Alan Pook
and Danny Bloor resigned at the end of 2008-09
and Simon Colbran took over but lasted just one
season before being replaced by Chris White. The
Club's next appointment was joint -managers, Lee
Brace and Kieran Collins. After poor results the
duo depart in October 2013 and Adam Hinshelwood
took the reigns.
In January 2015 the playing budget at the club
was completely cut and its debts revealed to be
around £200,000. The future of the club looked in
serious doubt until March 2015 when local football
enthusiast George Dowell became the majority
shareholder in the club with plans to invest in various
areas
Hinshelwood spent a year and a half at the helm
before resigning in June this year to take up a full
time coaching role at Brighton & Hove Albion, and
former Albion, Eastleigh and Lewes defender Jon
Meeney and Gary Elphick were appointed as joint
team managers.

From the Programme editor
A warm welcome to the Worthing players, supporters and officials, and of course
our own die hard supporters. Worthing’s is a story that many of us crave for,
someone coming in and helping financially with what is most of the time a constant
worry about the cost of running a football club at this level.
The hurt goes on for us still and the deadline when we make a firm decision on
the future is looming so rest assured that the committee will do what is best for
the club. We now print our programmes and both the secretary and I have a
hand in this. We have now both purchased
laser printers (not at the clubs
cost), and the programme is now
printed on these. Before we used a
combination of laser and ink jet, and
boy was that hard work! We do therefore
greatly appreciate you buying the
programme and you can be sure that
100% of the cover cost goes directly
to the club and not to the production
of the programme. So please encourage
your supporter friends to buy
one!
To try and increase income we have
also appointed a commercial manager
(on a commission only basis) to
help John Cooper who’s poor health
continues to restrict what he can do
for us, and make no mistake that has
been a lot over the years. Enjoy the
game...Peter

Match Reports
By Tony Rickson
What an amazing result – and what a devastating
thrashing for out-of-sorts Sittingbourne.
It was their heaviest defeat for nearly two
years, and their biggest home defeat for goodness
how long – certainly going back into the
last century at least.
Chipstead had just appointed their third manager
of the season days before the game. And
how he’d transformed the team with the sort of
excellent signings that will surely soon see
them racing up the table.
the visitors’ defence too tough a nut to crack.
Nothing went right for Sittingbourne, and their
ninth successive league defeat was inevitable
from the fifth minute onwards, as by then Chipstead
were two-up and on their way to being
out of sight.
Sittingbourne made just one change from the
previous Saturday, Miles Cornwell coming in
for Hicham Akhazzan, and they were greeted
by what felt like the first day of winter, a bitterly
cold wind blowing straight down the Woodstock
pitch.
Chipstead had it behind them for the first half
and took immediate – and spectacular – advantage.
Midfielder Carter, 25 yards out,
smashed his shot into the top corner, and even
the supremely agile Adam Molloy in the Sittingbourne
goal couldn’t get near it.
And one became two with just five minutes on
the clock. Sittingbourne lost possession in their
opponents’ half, with Stef Wright claiming unsuccessfully
for a foul, and Chipstead broke
quickly. Clarke cut in from the left – too easily –
and crossed for ex-Crystal Palace striker Tieku
to head in from just a couple of yards.
Sittingbourne must have planned so much for
this match, knowing it was a real ‘six-pointer,’
and it took them a little while to get over the
shock of being two-down so soon.
But they did recover and soon got a goal back
when Tom Brunt crossed from deep, Harry
Smith saw his header saved, but Dane Luchford
was in the right place to bundle in the
loose ball.
Clearly, the next goal was going to be crucial,
but it was Chipstead who looked the far more
dangerous going forward and Carter was in the
right place to smash home at the second attempt
and make it 3-1 with just over half-anhour
played.
Demoralised Sittingbourne looked all at sea
whenever Chipstead raced down the pitch, and
despite Molloy pulling off more good saves,
they got a fourth just before half-time when
Carter won a header in the six-yard box and
Tieku, though looking offside, scored from all
of a yard out.
Sittingbourne didn’t mess about with the
changes, going for broke with a triple substitution
soon after the second half started and
leaving just three defenders at the back.
But the damage had been done already and
Chipstead were able to comfortably defend
their lead, as well as add further goals on the
break, with danger-man Clarke getting the fifth
and Carter rounding it off with his hat-trick goal
in the last minute.
Sittingbourne never gave up, and Conrad Lee
and Akhazzan went close, while Luchford often
popped up in good places and was unlucky a
couple of times in not being able to get in a telling
shot.
But on an afternoon of weather to forget, it was
even more of a nightmare of a game to forget
for Sittingbourne. Good will come out of it only
if this lowpoint also turns out to be the turning
point of the season.

As we edge ever closer to the busy Christmas
footballing calendar, the headlines just keep on
coming for former Non-League starlet Jamie
Vardy.
The ex-Stocksbridge Park Steels, FC Halifax
and Fleetwood striker Vardy has made a remarkable
impact on the Premier League having
equalled former Manchester United forward
Ruud van Nistelrooy's record of goals in ten
consecutive games.
His tenth of the season signified that he was
not just a one season wonder having played
Non-League football just four years ago.
Talent is often buried in the most unlikely of
places.
But in recent weeks Non-League football has
been dealt a tough card – perhaps taking away
from the influence Vardy has had on the
search for emerging talent.
Unsurprisingly, Football League clubs have
voted in favour of increased parachute payments
for clubs relegated from League Two in
to the Conference.
The cash that clubs receive is set to ascend at
an alarming rate.
An unbelievable £750,000 will be on offer,
meaning that relegation will result in around
£474,000 being handed out followed by a
“mere” £237,000 during a club’s second year in
the National League.
Not only does this sort of money draw parallels
with clubs relegated from the Premier League
(a sore subject for many football fans) but it
allows clubs to readily spend in the notoriously
“toughest” league to get out of.
Cheltenham Town are sitting pretty at the top
of the National League and, having been an
established Football League club for sixteen
seasons, have the credentials to get back in to
League Two.
But just ask Luton Town fans and they will tell
you that nothing is certain. Surely that is all
part of the fun?
Maybe ‘fun’ is not the right word for fans but
the point of a promotion battle is to be competitive,
prove you are better and have the best
side win the league.
Forest Green are certainly on Gary Johnson’s
heels to book their first-ever place in the Football
League and there will no doubt be more
twists and turns as the season progresses.
However, it begs the question of how long that
will last with increased payments easing the
blow of one of the biggest fears in football –
relegation.
Will we really have to rely on the FA Cup to
provide us with excitement – although based
on recent years that shouldn’t be too much of a
problem.
Rising star stories including that of Stevenage
Borough, Crawley Town, Yeovil Town and
Dagenham and Redbridge – clubs who have
progressed up the ladder – are at risk of becoming
a distant memory.
These clubs now all currently face the prospect
of the drop from League Two and surely giving
them a head start defeats the object of their
past achievements?
We should be nurturing talent like Vardy and
enjoying the competitive football in all leagues,
not letting money cause conflict and resentment.
So whichever match you may be watching,
look out for the next big name as talent can
overrule money.

The Alan Turvey Trophy sponsored by
Robert Dyas 15-16 - 3rd Round,
Hastings Utd 1 Sittingbourne 1, att 135
Sittingbourne win 4-3 on penalties.
A welcome boost to the Brickies as they
held their nerve to reach the quarter finals
of the league cup.
Josh Wisson made his first start and Nick
Davis picked himself to give some more
strength to the defence. Dane Luchford was
cup tied and Harry Smith rested.
Wisson had the first attempt with a dipping
volley from about thirty-five yards out that
Hastings keeper Josh Pelling safely held.
But United went close inside five minutes
when Richardson-Brown sent Temba clear
to round keeper Adam Molloy, but Stefan
Wright got back to block on the line.
Then Billy Medlock powered a twenty-five
yard free kick narrowly over the bar, but on
19 minutes Medlock gave United a 19th minute
lead when good work by Temba teed
Cumming-Bart for a low shot that Molloy
could only push out, and Medlock buried
the rebound. Medlock was in action again
with a skidding twenty yard effort well saved
by Molloy low to the keeper's right.
Sittingbourne responded with a terrific long
range strike by Hicham Akhazzan that
swerved late and almost caught out Pelling,
but he made a good save away to his left.
second period, much like most of the first
half. Suddenly, though Sittingbourne created
their best chance to date, as Tom
Brunt's driven cross is turned over by
Akhazzan from six yards out. But
Sittingbourne did equalise in the 56th minute
through former Hasting’s midfielder
Ollie Bankole who led a swift counterattack,
exchanging passes with Miles Cornwell,
before steering a low shot past Pelling
from fifteen yards.
The Brickies almost added a second. When
Akhazzan cut in from the left but Pelling did
well to save with his feet, before turning a
Cornwell shot wide.
Triple substitution for Hastings saw Harris,
Cruttwell and Johnson replace Temba, Hollobone
and Cumming-Bart, and Harris nearly
scored within seconds of his arrival, but
Wright did really well to divert his close
range effort behind for a corner.
Adam Williams replaced Miles Cornwell for
Sittingbourne. His first touch was a looping
header over Pelling and into the net, but the
effort was flagged off-side, however this
looked a very dodgy decision!
With the minutes ticking by young Josh
Wisson's tremendous strike from twentyfive
yards whistled inches past the upright
and then for Hastings Johnson attacked an
ocean of space outside the Bourne area,
but dragged his shot well wide, and the
game went to penalties.
At the other end Wilson's left wing cross is
met by Richardson-Brown with a firm header,
but the ball went straight to Molloy, then
Rowe conceded a free kick to Sittingbourne
just outside the area, but Akhazzan
dragged his shot well wide.
The half ended with Hollobone's twenty-five
yarder fizzing just over the top.
No changes to either team ahead of the restart
and a pretty low key opening to the
Both keepers made good saves and at one
time Sittingbourne were 3-1 down, but then
remarkable efforts by Wisson, Steventon
