Welcome to the players, officials<br />

<strong>and</strong> supporters of<br />

<strong>Kensington</strong>/<strong>Ealing</strong> <strong>Boro</strong>ugh. Enjoy<br />

the game!<br />

Hello <strong>and</strong> welcome to <strong>Kensington</strong> & <strong>Ealing</strong> <strong>Boro</strong>ugh FC players, staff <strong>and</strong> club committee <strong>and</strong> to all supporters in<br />

attendance this evenings Combined Counties League Cup semi-final fixture.<br />

Our welcome extends to all supporters of non-league football as fans are permitted back into grounds. This evenings<br />

game will be an entertaining one to return too with a place in the final at stake.<br />

Since lockdown 3.0 ended, our playing squad <strong>and</strong> staff have been in good spirits <strong>and</strong> have been enjoying the return to<br />

football in the Fripp-Smith trophy, we thank the Combined Counties League for organising this competition which has<br />

given us a release from the outside pressures of the p<strong>and</strong>emic.<br />

This period has allowed us to experiment on new ideas <strong>and</strong> offer opportunities to our younger players in our U18<br />

squad. In our recent fixture away at Frimley Green, three players in Lawson Jones, Sam Evans <strong>and</strong> Tom Bailey, all<br />

featured for the first team having joined the club from the age of 5. Further demonstrating the pathway the club offers<br />

to local players.<br />

Back to the league cup, our route to the semi-final stage has seen us win <strong>and</strong> progress against Tooting Bec,<br />

Chessington & Hook, Badshot Lea <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>hurst Town (Bracknell Town), the last of those being a memorable night for<br />

the club versus our local rivals.<br />

Our opponents, <strong>Kensington</strong> & <strong>Ealing</strong> <strong>Boro</strong>ugh surprised the league with a 6-1 win in the quarter final away at Cobham,<br />

clearly a strong side who will travel with confidence <strong>and</strong> on good form.<br />

Thank you to our sponsors, club officials <strong>and</strong> volunteers for all the fantastic work <strong>and</strong> ongoing support towards our<br />

football club.<br />

Enjoy the game! Jamie.<br />
