ON COURSE!<br />
With Programme Editor Neal Jeffs<br />
Welcome to the players, officials and<br />
supporters of Wembley for this Cherry Red<br />
Records Combined Counties League<br />
Premier Division North match.<br />
Happy<br />
reading, and<br />
enjoy the<br />
game! Neal<br />
Afternoon all and welcome to The Racecourse after three weeks away! Looking at the<br />
league table the game should be pretty close with Wembley having won four and<br />
drawn three matches from their seven games played. There has been a lot going on<br />
with our other teams recently. Firstly, the Ladies team were impressive in winning<br />
their first home league game of the season last Sunday – 2-0 against Woodley United<br />
– and that was without talented striker Sarah Leonard. More recently, the youth team<br />
breezed past Cove in the FA Youth Cup on Tuesday as striker Alex Hall bagged a<br />
superb hat-trick. Away from The Racecourse I have been watching scores from<br />
across the nation – some of them crazy scorelines! In the Welsh Cup two weeks ago<br />
you might have heard Bala Town hammered third-tier Brymbo 17-1. Even more<br />
incredibly is that the Brymbo equalised at 1-1 and then conceded 16 goals in 74<br />
minutes – a goal aver 4 ½ minutes!!! Even more staggering was Hinckley FC’s FA Vase<br />
win at St Martin’s last weekend when they recorded a club record 18-0 triumph!<br />
REST IN PEACE GORDY. Brackley Town<br />
Saints and non-league football<br />
mourns the loss of Gordon Kille to<br />
MND. He was a true gentleman and<br />
had a positive outlook since his<br />
diagnosis.<br />
Looking ahead, we host Windsor on Tuesday in the Berks and Bucks Senior Trophy<br />
and are back on the road next weekend with a return to Tadley Calleva for our FA Vase<br />
2nd qualifying round match. We already beat Tadley in the league earlier this season<br />
so they will be wanting to get equal with us, but hopefully we have a good following<br />
over there to get us over the line. Finally, some sad news came through that Gordon<br />
Kille, former manager of Brackley Town Saints, died last week after a courageous<br />
battle with Motor Neurone Disease. “Gordy” was a super guy who was well respected<br />
in the non-league scene and after his diagnosis a few years back got on with life as<br />
much as possible “making happy memories” as was stated on his twitter page. RIP<br />
Sir. Finally, back to today, bets wishes to both teams and we’ll look forward to our trip<br />
to Wembley later this season (maybe twice…!!!). Enjoy the game! Neal
