Good afternoon and welcome to the Easy Buy Stadium for<br />

today’s game against <strong>Parkgate</strong> FC. We would like to welcome<br />

all officials, players and supporters from <strong>Parkgate</strong> and also<br />

congratulate them on their recent good form and managing to<br />

survive the drop down into the NCEL First Division. I’m sure<br />

you all agree they deserved to stay up based on their form in<br />

recent weeks.<br />

However, despite our own good form of late it just was not<br />

enough and we did not manage to beat the drop with results<br />

from other teams last weekend who were not on good form<br />

sealed our fate and unfortunately was relegated to the First<br />

Division for next season.<br />

Our good form in 2017 just started too late in the season to<br />

save us, but everyone at the club is proud of the effort and<br />

commitment from the management and players in recent<br />

weeks. Looking back at recent results we have been a top 10<br />

team in the league and have been improving game by game.<br />

If we can keep this group of players next season we will be a<br />

force to reckon with and I’m sure we will bounce right back<br />

with promotion back to the Premier Division.<br />

As Chairman of the club I apologise to all of our supporters of<br />

the club for the relegation this season. We took over too late in<br />

last year’s pre-season and we knew it would be a struggle to<br />

stay in the Premier Division but we gave it a good go and came<br />

very close to staying up.<br />

However our main objective was secure the club’s future and I<br />

believe with the back room team I have here we have achieved<br />

this and the club is secure and can now push on for the future.<br />

This club, and town, is fantastic and we have now built new<br />

relations with the town and secured new sponsorship and<br />

grown the club in other ways. Recently we have secured a new<br />

Youth set up that will be joining the club next season playing<br />

under our name which is fantastic news for the club and town.<br />

We can now be proud that we have a community club to grow for the future and I would like to<br />

thank Barton United Juniors and welcome them to our club.<br />

The minute the final whistle is blown today the hard work will start again and this time we will be<br />

ready as a club for next season and of course our main objective will be to return to the Premier<br />

Division at the first time of asking. I will be meeting the management team next week to start<br />

preparations for the new season and will hit the ground running this time. In the meantime we<br />

also will be trying to improve the pitch and have just signed up with a local contractor Lawn N<br />

Order. This is a five figure sum, annual deal with a professional pitch maintenance company to<br />

ensure that the 2017-18 season gets off to the best possible start for all Barton Town Old Boys<br />

Players, coaching staff and supporters. The new season is dedicated to raising the standards of<br />

our club in all areas, and with the Club no-longer leasing the pitch to Westella, we as a club can<br />

concentrate our focus solely on our own in-house developments. Lawn N Order have also been<br />

kind enough to sponsor the club helping us to fund this operation.<br />

As Chairman in a strange way I am proud of what this club has achieved this season and the<br />

above is just a small portion of our hard work recently, and we are committed to carry this hard<br />

work into the pre-season and beyond to have a club the you and the town can be proud of. As<br />

ever, the work we have done is not free and still need help in many ways to achieve this, so<br />

please come and join us for all our summer events in pre-season as every penny we raise goes<br />

into the club to help the team’s growth. If you cannot attend events we have many ways to help<br />

us; one being the 200 Club at £5 per month it’s well worth it with some great prizes every<br />

month.<br />

Our first Summer event is tomorrow with our Dog Show, with Sophia and Owen Taylor<br />

working hard to make this event happen, so we hope the weather will be good to us. It will be<br />

sure to be a good day; gates open at 10am. Please support this event as if it’s a success this will<br />

be a yearly event here at the club. We also have our presentation night on May 12th in the AP<br />

Robinson Sports Bar at 7pm if any supporters would like to join to us.<br />

Then on June 24th we have the Annual Sportmans Dinner and this year we have England legend<br />

Chris Waddle as guest speaker - don’t worry we aren’t going to ask him to sing! Full details of<br />

how to get tickets for a great night out in the club house and elsewhere in this programme.<br />

I am very grateful to the back room team I have here at the club; they all work hard and I would<br />

like to thank them personally for all their support this season. We could not have done half of<br />

what we have achieved this season with your help THANK YOU. And of course a massive thank<br />

you to you our supporters for supporting the team though thick and thin this season; we are<br />

sorry to have given you a bad ending but, by God, we will be determined to give you a winning<br />

team next season to support and be proud of with our main objective of promotion.<br />

Just one last thank you to today's sponsors Regal Fish who have<br />

kindly sponsored the game today we hope you enjoy your afternoon<br />

with us.<br />

Enjoy your summer and see you next season.<br />

the Manager`s<br />

Note<br />

Book<br />

Good afternoon and welcome to our final match of the season<br />

where we face <strong>Parkgate</strong>. From the very first days of this campaign<br />

we knew that, from even the most cursory look at the fixture list,<br />

today’s match would be a vital “six pointer”. As the season<br />

started to draw to a close it became clear that this game would<br />

define the club’s season.<br />

Ultimately our future was decided before this match; last weekend’s results have confirmed<br />

that we return to the NCEL First Division after six seasons in the Premier Division. A win today<br />

would still leave us one point adrift of safety and, with hindsight, just a couple of extra goals to<br />

convert draws to wins would have seen us with a big enough points margin to continue to play<br />

at this level. Looking at how we've progressed recently you just can't help but think ‘What if?’<br />

Like us, <strong>Parkgate</strong> had a very poor start to the season and have also seen a turnaround in fortune<br />

in 2017. Especially in recent weeks where they have had a great run of results, dropping only<br />

two points from their last six matches and, after their win at Bridlington Town last Saturday,<br />

fully deserve their reward of Premier Division football next year.<br />

Rainworth Miners Welfare and Harrogate Railway also found themselves dropping down the<br />

table in recent weeks but managed to hold things together in the closing stages to deny us the<br />

opportunity of making today the day we make our ‘Great Escape’ reality.<br />

Despite the highs and lows we have faced, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my season at Barton Town<br />

Old Boys. It's been a major roller-coaster ride, with a lot of learning curves along the way for<br />

myself, Dave Botham and, of course, the players.<br />

Looking back there's only a few things I believe I could have done different.<br />

A lot of things have been out of my hands and I do believe we've done the best we can with the<br />

cards we've been dealt !!<br />

I think the lads that have stayed through this season from the start deserve a lot of credit.<br />

James Williamson, Tom Waudby, Lee Fisher, Eddie Rogerson and Chris Fairhurst have all done<br />

fantastically well, and each and everyone of them have improved their game 100%.<br />

I hope this season will help them, and has been character building for them, as I believe they<br />

can all go on to have a very good non-league career!<br />

A lot of players have left us this season, and I'm not one to call out players after they have left<br />

but this season has really opened my eyes to the lack of desire and passion in some players<br />

these days. Players leave because after playing nearly every week and then dropped for a few<br />

games they question it. Players leave because they've missed two games through work and then<br />

when not back in the squad, again they question it. Players listening to their Dads and believing<br />

they’re the best player out there! But then go to other clubs and sit on the bench!<br />

Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>


This leads me to mention the great attitude from the twins, James and Danny<br />

Nichols. They come to games week in, week out along with their Dad and<br />

Granddad - who as well have great attitudes with how they respect my decisions<br />

on the pitch. This season has been such a learning curve for them both that I<br />

believe they will come back next season stronger.<br />

I can only wish that the signings we made near Christmas had only<br />

come sooner. The arrivals of Ryan Williams, Gary Bradshaw and<br />

Lee Shilleto have been great for us, just with their characters in<br />

the dressing room, along with young lads Tommy Waud<br />

and Luke Salas. It gave us some new faces and new banter<br />

in there, which we massively needed.<br />

We've gone on a great run recently. One that gave us<br />

belief that we could achieve what seemed impossible<br />

just a few months ago, but definitely a little too late.<br />

Despite this the one thing all of these players have<br />

shown is they don't give up anymore, they don't throw<br />

the towel in.<br />

This season we have lost the fight to stay playing Premier<br />

Division football, but we are a team. We have gone down<br />

together and next season we regroup and come back<br />

fighting together.<br />

I wish we had been able to take the chance of survival to the<br />

last game of the season, so as to give the fans something to<br />

look forward to and to cheer the team on this afternoon. Of<br />

course, it goes without saying we’ll be looking for a win today to<br />

go out on a high note.<br />

Finally I want to thank the fans that come and watch us, and encourage<br />

us, in particular those who have taken the time and expense of<br />

travelling to away matches; your support has been greatly appreciated<br />

by all.<br />

I'm guessing it's not been the best Barton Town Old Boys team and<br />

it's probably not been the best football you've watched, but I hope<br />

we've done you all proud and I hope you all know we've given<br />

100% to stay in this Division.<br />

Next season a new challenge awaits us.<br />

One that I know we can face with spirit,<br />

passion and optimism!<br />

Enjoy the game!<br />

Finished fourth in the Lincolnshire league and won<br />

the County Senior 'B' Cup in inaugural season under<br />

manager Peter Mitchell.<br />

Won Lincolnshire League and Challenge Cup<br />

'Double'.<br />

Won Lincolnshire League Challenge Cup and County<br />

Senior 'B' Cup<br />

On the pitch, that intent was certainly realised as the<br />

title of Supreme Division Champions 2005/06 was<br />

added to the Club's list of honours.<br />

Switched to Humber Premier League finishing third<br />

in the League's first season.<br />

Brought in Leigh Palin to work alongside Mitchell as<br />

Club joined Central Midlands League, finishing runners-up<br />

in the Premier Division and gaining automatic<br />

promotion to Supreme Division.<br />

Palin left the Club in October 2002 to be replaced,<br />

initially by Alex Irvine before Neil Buckley took the<br />

reins. Finished first season in Supreme Division in<br />

13th place.<br />

Seventh place finish in Supreme Division<br />

Further improvement saw a fourth place finish<br />

Supreme Division runners-up at the end of the<br />

2006/07 season, the Club was in the fortunate position<br />

of being considered once more for promotion<br />

to the Northern Counties East League and this time<br />

the facilities were not found wanting.<br />

Ninth place in Division One was the outcome of the<br />

Club's first foray in the NCEL, a comfortable finish,<br />

albeit a little disappointing bearing in mind the team<br />

had been promotion contenders until around about<br />

the turn of the year, before loss of form, injuries and<br />

suspensions took their toll. A great run in the League<br />

Cup, which saw a number of Premier Division sides<br />

beaten at Marsh Lane en-route to the semi-final provided<br />

some consolation for missing out.<br />

After five successful seasons at the helm, late July<br />

2008 saw the shock resignation of Neil Buckley, due<br />

BartonTownOldBoys.co.uk 9


to increased work commitments. Despite that blow,<br />

the Club responded promptly, promoting coach<br />

Carl Stead to the hot-seat to work alongside existing<br />

Assistant Manager, Ian Durnian and newly-appointed<br />

player/coach, Craig Burdick to send out the message<br />

that it was very much ‘business as usual’.<br />

The story of the 2008/09 season was another one of<br />

steady, if unspectacular, improvement. A fifth place<br />

finish was the outcome, but, in a worrying case of<br />

history repeating itself, not before another dreadful<br />

dip in form in the new year, which saw the team<br />

slump form genuine promotion contenders to alsoruns,<br />

some eleven points adrift of a guaranteed promotion<br />

slot. The disappointment of missing out was<br />

compounded by the loss of a number of key senior<br />

players who had been instrumental, with others, in<br />

the Club’s success over the previous four seasons.<br />

The lure of football at a higher level, something that<br />

the Club has signally failed to provide, proved to be<br />

too strong.<br />

The 2009/10 season proved to be another season of<br />

two halves. In contrast to the previous two seasons,<br />

it began poorly, one or two bright spots notwithstanding,<br />

and plagued by a terrible run of injuries,<br />

showed little sign of improvement as the season<br />

wore on.<br />

With the team marooned in mid-table in late November<br />

2009 and finding it increasingly difficult to<br />

balance family and work commitments with football,<br />

Carl Stead resigned. Ian Durnian assumed the mantle<br />

of caretaker Manager until a new management<br />

team of Dave Anderson and Mally Parker was appointed<br />

in early January 2010.<br />

And so 2010 saw the start of a new chapter in the<br />

history of the Club. The new faces had the desired<br />

effect. Players, both old and new, responded superbly<br />

to the promptings and demands of the new<br />

management duo, finishing the second half of the<br />

season in fine style. A sixth place finish, largely on<br />

the back of an unbeaten away run stretching back to<br />

January, bears testimony to the great strides forward<br />

made under the new regime.<br />

In their first full season at the helm, and in a huge<br />

testament to the management team and all the players<br />

involved, Anderson and Parker guided the side<br />

to promotion to the Premier Division, the highest<br />

level in the history of the Club and achieved a full<br />

two seasons ahead of schedule. Not without a few<br />

nervous moments along the way, promotion was<br />

finally secured on the last day of a memorable season.<br />

After a fraught start, the first season in the top flight<br />

saw the Club finish a credible 11th, helped in no<br />

small way by a seven match winning streak, part of a<br />

longer unbeaten run in all competitions during November<br />

and December. The team also made it<br />

through to two cup finals, the County Senior Trophy<br />

and the President's Cup, and although missing out,<br />

narrowly, in both, they too marked a significant step<br />

forward.<br />

Season 2013/13 saw the Club achieve its main aim,<br />

that of consolidating and improving on the previous<br />

season's mid-table finish. Hovering amongst the top<br />

six, and on merit, for much if the campaign, a disappointing<br />

late run of seven league games without a<br />

win, although countered by an equally fine run-in of<br />

seven games unbeaten, saw the Club finish in eighth<br />

place, still a very encouraging achievement.<br />

With further ground improvements being undertaken<br />

in the close season, 2013/14 saw the first team<br />

looking for further consolidation by establishing itself<br />

as a top six side. And, to the immense credit of players<br />

and management alike, the team exceeded all<br />

expectations to claim the runners-up spot, behind<br />

worthy winners, Brighouse Town. An increasingly<br />

youthful and very closely-knit squad created, in the<br />

process, a Club record 23 game unbeaten League<br />

run stretching over a full five months during which,<br />

10<br />

Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>


and for the first time ever in the Club's relatively<br />

short history, the team hit top spot, mid-run, in late<br />

December, staying there over the Christmas and<br />

New Year turn before eventually being pegged back.<br />

Season 2014/15 started with the Club under no illusions.<br />

To have any realistic chance of improving on<br />

the previous season's marvellous second place finish,<br />

it was vitally important a good, solid start was made.<br />

It was a start that failed, dismally, to materialise as<br />

the first four League games saw four defeats and the<br />

Club bottom of the table come mid-September.<br />

Hardly the start everyone was looking and hoping<br />

for. A superb midweek win at eventual champions,<br />

Shaw Lane Aquaforce changed all that, belatedly<br />

kick-starting the season and acting as the catalyst for<br />

another of the team's signature runs which saw just<br />

two points dropped in a stretch of nine League<br />

games unbeaten, hoisting them into the top eight, a<br />

position from which they rarely slipped, in the process.<br />

The eventual fifth place finish was, in its way, on<br />

a par with 2013/14's second place, given the awful<br />

start made and the fiercely competitive nature of the<br />

NCEL's Premier Division, arguably as tough a (Football<br />

Pyramid) Step Five League as any in the country.<br />

2015/16 proved to be, with the benefit of hindsight,<br />

something of a watershed. Although a top six league<br />

finish, at the very best, looked clearly achievable up<br />

until Christmas, the second half of the season was<br />

distinctly underwhelming, not helped at all by the<br />

effects of a very wet winter on the fixture schedule<br />

and the loss of a number of key players to long-term<br />

injuries. A 10th place finish was the upshot and that<br />

along with a number of cup disappointments left the<br />

season as one of those to forget.<br />

and saw the March Lane ground renamed The Easy<br />

Buy Stadium. At the Club's AGM, Mark was also<br />

elected Chairman to lead a long-needed new and<br />

ambitious Committee with the over-riding intention<br />

of running the Club as a successful business.<br />

One of Mark's first tasks was to accept the resignations<br />

of Dave Anderson and Mally Parker after six<br />

and a half years at the helm, during which time promotion<br />

to, and consolidation in the NCEL Premier<br />

Division was attained, no small achievement. Their<br />

departure, along with that of Physio, Vinnie Orszewski,<br />

and last but by no means least, one of the major<br />

driving forces and architects behind everything<br />

achieved by the Club, on and off the field for over<br />

20 years, Ian Durnian, meant it was very much a<br />

case of the changing of the guard at March Lane.<br />

The early July timing of Anderson and Parker's<br />

departure, along with the mass exodus of players<br />

previously loyal to the Club meant that any incoming<br />

Manager would have their work cut out to get a<br />

competitive squad together before the 2016/17<br />

season started just four short weeks later. That task<br />

fell to the much-respected Paul Foot, former captain<br />

of local high-flyers and serial overachievers, North<br />

Ferriby United, working alongside coach, Dave<br />

Botham. All the early signs are, given a few months'<br />

patience, the new duo will get it right.<br />

And if the Club does get it right with new<br />

management teams in place both on and<br />

off the field, then one thing is very certain.<br />

And that is the future of Barton Town Old<br />

Boys Football Club remains very bright<br />

indeed!<br />

Off the field, and after 10 years' fantastic and muchappreciated<br />

support, Paul Vickers ended his sponsorship<br />

of The Euronics Ground. The search was on<br />

for a new sponsor and benefactor. Into the breach<br />

stepped existing sponsor, Mark Gregory whose<br />

company took on the mantle of ground sponsorship<br />

Lee joined the club on<br />

trial in Summer 2015<br />

after starring for Reckitts<br />

in the Humber Premier<br />

League last season. A<br />

versatile full back who<br />

can cover both sides, as<br />

well as playing in the<br />

midfield, he has become<br />

a key member of the<br />

squad.<br />

The right footed Midfielder<br />

joined Barton<br />

from Bridlington Town at<br />

the start of the 2016/17<br />

season, and his hard<br />

working ethic has<br />

brought a great bit of energy<br />

to the Swans midfield.<br />

Tom hopes to go as<br />

far as he can get in football<br />

and hasn't won any<br />

silverware to date.<br />

James has hit the ground<br />

running and has<br />

impressed over the start<br />

of the season giving other<br />

players and management<br />

a lot to think about. With<br />

a goal to his name already<br />

this season, he's building<br />

momentum every game.<br />

Terrace Talk<br />

By Darren Stockdale<br />

Here we are again, the final game of the season,<br />

one that has been pretty challenging for both the<br />

team and the fans. It has been difficult at times<br />

writing this article, trying not to be overly critical<br />

whilst being honest at the same time. Back in<br />

January when I wrote my article for our match<br />

against Cleethorpes Town Barton were languishing<br />

at the bottom of the league with only two league<br />

wins to their name and looked all but relegated.<br />

Unfortunately that happened last weekend without<br />

us having to kick a ball, but the fact that it went<br />

down to the penultimate league game shows how<br />

the team has improved. I know some people would<br />

have rather we stayed up, but personally I welcome<br />

the chance to go see the team play our nearneighbours<br />

Brigg and Winterton again and at the<br />

same time hopefully fighting for position at the<br />

right end of the table. I have said it before and I will<br />

say it again, I would rather watch a team winning in<br />

a lower league than losing in a higher one.<br />

Our last home match, against Worksop Town, was a<br />

cracking game. The Tigers brought plenty of<br />

support with them, and they were certainly vocal. It<br />

was a cold, dry and windy day, and the first half<br />

started in a very even fashion. Both sides had good<br />

chances and, thanks to the wind, those of us sat in<br />

the terraces saw almost as much of the ball as the<br />

players. Around the half hour mark Barton were<br />

awarded a penalty which was subsequently saved<br />

by the Worksop keeper. The rest of the first half<br />

saw even play to the break. During the break a few<br />

of us popped our heads through the fence to look at<br />

the cricket. In the fifteen minutes or so we were<br />

there nothing happened so we returned only to find<br />

the Worksop fans had taken over our bit of the<br />

terraces. As Barton were kicking towards the<br />

stands in the second half I decided to stand in there<br />

for a change. 12 minutes into the second half and I<br />

was pleased I did, when a thunderous throw in from<br />

Louis Bruce found Lee Shilletto who duly scored the<br />

first goal for Barton. This quietened the Worksop<br />

fans for a while and just as they were finding their<br />

voice again Gary Bradshaw popped up to score a<br />

second for Barton from a corner. At this point the<br />

Worksop fans decided they were going to win 3-2,<br />

but the actual team didn’t really look like they<br />

would. Barton had more of the play, and Worksop<br />

managed to shoot themselves in the foot when<br />

their number 11 was sent off late on. The game<br />

ended 2-0 to Barton, and in all honesty it was a<br />

fairly comfortable result for Barton.<br />

For my final random fact of the season I have to<br />

mention the Franklin, Tennessee based pop-punk<br />

band Paramore (as we will not be playing a certain<br />

team with a similar sounding last name in the<br />

league next season). They announced last week<br />

that they are bringing a new album out on the 12th<br />

May. Thankfully for the current government they<br />

announced this the day after their slightly less<br />

interesting announcement of a general election in<br />

June. I know which one I am looking forward to the<br />

most.<br />

Today we play <strong>Parkgate</strong>. Last season 80 supporters<br />

saw a home victory for the Swans against <strong>Parkgate</strong><br />

by three goals to nil, our goals coming from a brace<br />

for Scott Phillips and one from Brad Ricketts. In the<br />

away fixture at the Roundwood Sports Complex,<br />

Barton again managed to claim victory with a much<br />

closer three goals to two. Our goals on the day<br />

came from Gareth Owen, Alex Sherwood and an<br />

own goal. This season however, our away game<br />

was not such a close affair, with Barton being<br />

thumped seven nil in front of 85 fans. Today’s<br />

match may not mean much for our league<br />

positions, but it would be nice to finish the season<br />

off with a win.<br />

Barton Town Old Boys v <strong>Parkgate</strong>


The Road to<br />

Wembley<br />

As this is that last programme of the 2016-2017 season it seems appropriate to bring our FA Cup run story<br />

up to date. The competition has now reached the Final due to be played on 27th May. So far we have seen<br />

how Barton Town Old Boys would have progressed through to the last eight, having achieved this milestone<br />

after, in the guise of Lincoln City, dispatching Premiership side Burnley at Turf Moor to set up a Quarter<br />

Final tie at the Emirates Stadium home, of course, to Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal.<br />

So off on another trip south to London on Saturday 11th March to take on one of the most consistent teams<br />

in the competition having lifted the FA Cup five times since the turn of the century.<br />

In the same period they have also finished in the top four every year, and subsequently also qualified for the<br />

UEFA Champions League every year. Clearly no pushovers despite recent well publicised fan unrest as this<br />

season it looks likely that they’ll have this unbroken run come to an end.<br />

Although ultimately the result was not unexpected with Arsenal wining 5-0 it didn’t appear that Lincoln City<br />

were overawed by their hosts, only conceding the first goal just before the half time whistle. Soon after the<br />

restart Giroud scored Arsenal’s second and an own goal shortly after sealed Lincoln City’s fate after a run<br />

that captured the imagination of the country.<br />

So now onto the semi-final to be played against Premiership side Manchester City who have won the FA Cup<br />

five times, most recently in the 2010-2011 season, and were runners-up to Wigan Athletic in the 2012-2013<br />

Final played on 11th May. That same year Wigan were relegated and became the first team to be relegated<br />

and win the FA Cup in the same season<br />

The semi-finals have been played at Wembley since the new stadium was completed in 2007 with the<br />

official opening match being the 2007 FA Cup Final on Saturday 19th May although matches had been<br />

hosted at the stadium since it was handed over to the FA on 9th March.<br />

The 2016-2017 semi-finals were played on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd April so perfect to fit into the<br />

Barton Town Old Boys schedule as, of course, we didn’t have a match that weekend.<br />

Anyway Manchester City took the lead in the second half with a Sergio Aguero goal but were pegged back<br />

to 1-1 shortly after when Nacho Monreal scored the equaliser. So another 30 minutes play was required.<br />

Just over ten minutes into the first half of this and Alexis Sanchez scored Arsenal’s second and Pep<br />

Guardiola’s squad were unable to respond.<br />

So onto the Final at the end of May where the winner of “our” match takes on Premiership table topping<br />

Chelsea.<br />

And that’s it for this year! The chart and map on the facing page shows the clubs that Barton Town Old Boys<br />

would have had to have beaten this season to get their hands on the FA Cup at the completion of the 136th<br />

playing of the world’s oldest football cup competition.<br />

AS champagne continues to be sprayed and league<br />

trophies are lifted high above heads, the<br />

countdown continues to the biggest day in the<br />

Non-League calendar – Finals Day.<br />

This year, as last, the FA Trophy and FA Vase<br />

showpiece matches will take place on the same day<br />

under the Wembley arch in a real celebration of the<br />

beautiful game below the Football League.<br />

Lincoln City, who recently wrapped up the National<br />

League and with it promotion to the EFL, agonisingly<br />

missed out on reaching Wembley, beaten over two<br />

legs by York City. The Minstermen will face<br />

Macclesfield Town after they disposed of Tranmere<br />

Rovers, who challenged the Imps in the top-tier for<br />

so long.<br />

In the Vase, Cleethorpes Town, who were<br />

established as Lincolnshire Soccer School in 1998<br />

and entered the Lincolnshire League just 14 years<br />

ago, will clash with South Shields in the Owls’ first<br />

ever Vase final. It’s also the Mariners’ first ever Vase<br />

final with that and the Trophy clash both taking<br />

place on May 21.<br />

Last year, 46,781 watched Morpeth Town and FC<br />

Halifax Town upset the odds to lift the Vase and<br />

Trophy respectively. Morpeth came from a goal<br />

down inside two minutes to beat Hereford, with<br />

over 20,000 Bulls fans left devastated at the home<br />

of football.<br />

Whether they’ll be<br />

winners under the arch<br />

is yet to be seen, though<br />

they face a tough outfit in South<br />

Shields, who racked up a mammoth 108 points in<br />

winning the Northern League, ahead of last year’s<br />

Vase winners Morpeth.<br />

Out of the 42 matches played, Graham Fenton’s<br />

side won 34 of them, losing just twice. And<br />

remember, Fenton has Vase pedigree having led<br />

North Shields to success in the 2015 FA Vase,<br />

beating Glossop North End 2–1 in the final.<br />

York will be underdogs in the Trophy final, having<br />

struggled back in the Non-League ranks whereas<br />

Macc have had a steady season in the top-tier.<br />

North Ferriby showed that the Trophy can be won<br />

from Step 2 in 2015 though, so don’t write off City<br />

just yet.<br />

There’s still chance to buy your tickets, and they’re<br />

reasonably priced too, priced at £25 for adults, £10<br />

for concessions and £1 for children whilst there is<br />

also a special group rate which reduces prices to<br />

£12.50 for adults and £5 for concessions.<br />

Make sure you get yours and make it a day to<br />

remember for the whole of Non-League<br />

Joshua Peck<br />

Just a couple of hours after Chris Swailes,<br />

Wembley’s oldest goalscorer, lifted the trophy, FC<br />

Halifax Town were doing the same, having seen off<br />

Grimsby Town. It really was a great day of football,<br />

even for the neutral.<br />

Cleethorpes have already received a huge boost<br />

ahead of the upcoming final, named joint winners of<br />

the 2017 Buildbase Club Renovation Programme.<br />

The Lincolnshire-based club will share the £100,000<br />

product bursary with west London outfit Hanwell<br />

Town following a Dragons Den-style pitching event<br />

for six finalists held at Wembley.<br />
