RYMAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE – WEEKLY NEWS AND MATCH BULLETIN Season 2009-2010 No: 08 - : - 28th September 2009 LEAGUE NEWS LEAGUE NEWS MONTHLY AWARDS Division One North The second series of the Ryman Football League Monthly Awards, covering September, will be announced on the League’s website on Thursday, 1st October. With none of the top three in league action, Thamesmead became the fourth team on the 16-point mark by whipping Leyton 4-0 though, despite the margin, they are still at the bottom of the quartet on goal difference. The visitors held out until the 40th minute, when Andy Constable made the breakthrough. Rikki Cable added two more in the second half, making five since his return from East Thurrock, with Peter Smith also on target. The Divisional awards cover: Vandanel Manager of the Month Vandanel Team of the Month This season these two awards are being sponsored by Vandanel Sport Ltd, the League’s Official Benchwear Supplier and Preferred Kit Supplier. As part of the sponsorship of these awards, Vandanel Sport will provide a ‘Manager of the Month’ trophy and Jacket for each Manager of the Month, and a trophy and £100 credit voucher for each Team of the Month. WEEKEND REVIEW Premier Division When one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time takes charge of your team, you would hope for a clean sheet or two. And that was how it turned out for Margate when they hosted Hornchurch in Saturday’s only Premier Division game, their first outing under former Welsh international Neville Southall who has taken temporary charge after Terry Yorath’s departure. Gate prevented their opponents scoring for the first time in seven games but, unfortunately for Southall, they were unable to find the net at the other end, even when they were awarded a penalty. Lloyd Blackman’s kick hit the bar and it finished 0-0. Page 1 Northwood moved up to fifth with a 3-2 victory in a topsy-turvey game at Brentwood. Gary Burrell’s long-range blockbuster gave Woods a third-minute lead which they held until halftime. Danny Glozier levelled for the hosts with a penalty soon after the break and George Lay headed them in front when Anton Innocent’s effort came back off the bar. But there was to be no happy ending for next-to-bottom Brentwood as Hugo Figueiredo made it 2-2 in the 80th minute and Burrell hit the winner with a penalty two minutes later. Bottom club Ware remain behind Brentwood on goal difference after a 2-1 home defeat by Harlow. The visitors shrugged off their off-field troubles to take the lead through Ashley Robinson on the stroke of half-time. James Edgerley added another, his first goal since he scored a hat-trick on opening day, and Ware had to settle for Michael Toner’s injury-time reply. Tilbury got themselves out of jail at Redbridge, where a goal in each half by Leon Diaczuk seemed enough for the Motormen. But Harry Oniha was shown a second yellow card after 82 minutes and Dockers profited from their extra man as Glen Golby and Kayan Kalipha made it 2-2. Indeed, Kalipha almost snatched a winner. Cheshunt cruised to a 3-0 victory at Maldon with goals from Graeme Dearie, the outstanding Chris Meikle, and Syaed Sentain. Waltham Forest held on to beat VCD Athletic 2-1 in the other game. Luke Stanley gave Forest a 17th minute lead and newcomer Pedro Knight, signed from Thamesmead, quickly added another. Uche Ibemere replied midway through the second half. Division One South Godalming took over from their hosts Folkestone at the top of the table thanks to a late strike from Andy Ottley, who blasted home a free-kick in the 80th minute for the only goal of the game. Merstham’s new signing Leon Simpson was a conspicuous figure in their home game with Chatham, and not only because he stands 6ft 9in. The giant scored both goals in a 2-1 victory which lifts Merstham to third place. His early header was soon answered by Brendon Cass and it stayed level until the 80th minute, when Simpson struck again from close range. Top scorers of the day were CorinthianCasuals, who crushed Ashford 5-1. Most of the damage was done by half-time, with a Jamal Carr double sandwiching efforts from top scorers Glenn Boosey and Kane Sargeant. Ashford fared better after the break and Kevin Swaisland pulled a goal back before Carlton Murray-Price completed the nap hand. Frankie Sawyer fired a hat-trick for Metropolitan Police in a 4-0 home win over Chipstead. Craig Brown added to Sawyer’s opener before half-time and two goals in the closing stages earned Sawyer the match ball. Chipstead are now the only side in the league without a win. Chris Dicker’s 15th minute goal at Whyteleafe was enough for previous bottom club Eastbourne Town to break their duck and shoot up to 18th in the table. After a scoreless first half, defender Osa Obamwonyi headed home two Luke Hickie corners to put Dulwich in command at Ramsgate. Hickie himself added a third in the 90th minute but there was still time for Gary Mickelborough to manage a consolation goal from the penalty spot. Page 2 FA Cup There was a double-figure romp for Ashford Town (Middx), but the honours for the Ryman League in Saturday’s second qualifying round must go to Heybridge Swifts, a lowly 17th in Divison One North. The Essex club overcame a two-division gap as they battled their way to a 1-0 victory over Blue Square South side St Albans. The tie looked set to go to a replay until Luke Codling delighted the home crowd with a 78th minute winner. Apart from the glory, the goal earned Swifts a handy £4,500 in prize money and they, like the other Division One survivors, have so far collected £9,000 from this season’s competition. Lowestoft Town were the other giant-killers. A four-figure crowd at Crown Meadow saw the Division One North leaders put out Unibond Premier side Boston United, so recently Football League members, with a lone goal direct from a corner by Jamie Godbold. Ashford, meanwhile, were running riot at the expense of Combined Counties League visitors Badshot Lea. Hone Fowler opened the scoring after three minutes, after which the visitors held out until midway through the half. Then Byron Harrison ignited a burst of three goals in nine minutes, the other two coming from Brian Haule, his first since his move from Hendon. That was it for the first half but it was 6-0 by the hour mark as Adam Logie and Scott Harris netted. It was hard to imagine that things could get worse for the visitors but they did on 65 minutes when goalkeeper Matt Watson conceded a penalty and collected a red card, swiftly accompanied by Barry McCoy for his comments on the decision. Longserving Vinny O’Sullivan was handed the ball for the penalty and he made no mistake to chalk up his first goal for five years. The nine men then held out until the last ten minutes before Harrison’s quickfire treble took his personal tally to four and the total to 10. Overall, it was another satisfactory day for the league. Only 13 of the 27 clubs in action are definitely through but three more have replays and, of the 11 who went out, seven were beaten by fellow Ryman clubs. There were three all-Premier ties and, mirroring the way league results have been going, two of them produced away wins. The odd match out produced the most exciting finish as Hendon converted an injury-time penalty to beat Kingstonian 2-1, avenging an earlier 3-0 league defeat. Ks threatened a repeat when Carl Wilson-Denis scored after 16 minutes but that was to be their lot. Luke Garrard equalised on the hour and Harry Hunt tucked away the last-gasp winner after Lubomir Guentchev was brought down in the box. Wealdstone were two up in ten minutes at Boreham Wood thanks to Ryan Ashe and Lee Chappell, with Chappell adding another just before the break to give Stones a commanding lead. Dean Green pulled one back midway through the second half but Alan Massey restored the three-goal margin. Ryan Kirby replied with six minutes left but Stones went through 4-2. Tooting were 2-0 winners at Canvey. Jamie Byatt broke the deadlock seven minutes after half-time and, as Canvey threw men forward, Paul Vines exploited the gaps to hit a late clincher. Two Premier sides saw off Division One South opposition. Carl Rook scored twice as Tonbridge strolled to a 4-0 win over Horsham YMCA while runaway leaders Dartford had to settle for a 2-1 scoreline at Worthing, whose goal came late in the game. Sutton enjoyed a comfortable afternoon against Uxbridge, from the Zamaretto League’s Southern Division, beating them 3-0, while Maidstone scored late in each half for a 2-0 victory at Spartan South Midlands outfit Harefield. Aveley, who were given a scare by little London Colney in the previous round, had an even bigger fright at Zamaretto Midlands side Burnham. The hosts led at half-time and it was the 87th minute before Piers Wixon earned Millers a replay, which will be at the Mill Field on Wednesday. Billericay were the only Premier side beaten by outside opposition – and it was close. They took a 2-1 lead at Chesham, from the Zamaretto Midland Division, and Billy Bricknell was denied a third by a goalline clearance. Chesham drew level with a penalty moments before half-time and then stunned the visitors with goals from Leon Archer and Steve Wales in added time at the end of the game to win 42. Apart from Heybridge and Lowestoft, three other Division One sides went through to the third qualifying round. Page 3 Both Walton-on-Thames clubs made it, the star performer being Walton & Hersham’s David Tarpey whose hat-trick, including an injury-time winner, saw them through 3-2 against Division One North side Enfield Town. Tarpey opened the scoring with a penalty and struck again before half-time. Town got a penalty of their own early in the second half, converted by Rudi Hall, and when Adam Wallace equalised in the 85th minute it looked as if the teams would be off to a replay in Middlesex. Tarpey, though, had other ideas and his decider was his fifth goal in the competition this season. A mile or so away, a single goal by Martin Grant was enough to see Walton Casuals through at the expense of Sussex County League strugglers Selsey. Potters Bar were the other Division One winners. Shane Wyllie’s eighth goal of the season, his fourth in the FA Cup, gave them the lead against Whitstable. Ellis Remy and Jordan Watson completed a 3-0 victory. Leon Fisher twice gave Wingate & Finchley the lead against Aylesbury, including a firstminute opener, but it finished 2-2 and the sides meet again at Aylesbury on Tuesday. Leatherhead will also be in replay action that night, hosting Blue Square South side Lewes after a 1-1 draw at the Dripping Pan. Perhaps it was no surprise; Lewes have yet to win in their league but have drawn six times. They took the lead early in the second half but Dominic O’Shea earned Leatherhead their second chance. East Thurrock held their own for 75 minutes at Welling, of Blue Square South, but were beaten 2-0 after Tommy Whitwell netted twice in the three minutes. Concord Rangers went out by the same margin at Zamaretto Midlands side Slough. And finally, as they say, Sittingbourne went down 3-2 at home to Staines, now in Blue Square South after winning the Ryman Premier play-offs in May. Nick Reeves gave Sittingbourne hope on the hour, a minute after Staines scored their second, but Ali Chabaan made it 3-1 in the closing stages and Hicham Akhazzan’s injury-time penalty counted for nothing. Ryman Youth League The FA Youth Cup was on the agenda for 21 Ryman Youth League clubs this week and 13 of them advanced to the second qualifying round. Seven had to go out in all Ryman Youth League ties and only one was beaten by outside opposition. Three sides scored five times. Bradley Murray and Luke Wanadio netted two apiece as Staines whitewashed Hampton 5-0, Anson Cousins doubled up in Woking’s victory by the same margin at Tooting and last-gasp goals by Shameeh Farrell, his second of the game, and Alex Teniola clinched Tilbury’s 5-2 win at Colney Heath. Carshalton were 2-0 down at home to Molesey at half-time but Paris Hamilton-Downes started a capital comeback by scoring immediately after the break. Jimmy Hearne levelled it with a penalty and then scored the winner early in extra time. Ashford Town (Middx) went all the way to penalties and came out on top 4-2 after drawing 1-1 with Wealdstone. There were comfortable away wins against fellow RYL teams for Lewes, 4-0 at Whyteleafe, and Wimbledon, 3-0 at Hayes & Yeading, Maidstone strolled to a 3-0 home win over Chipstead. Two more domestic battles produced 2-0 victories for the away sides, Bromley and Croydon Athletic at Eastbourne Town and Corinthian-Casuals respectively, while Kingstonian beat Sussex visitors Pagham by the same margin. Thamesmead Town went through by the odd goal in three at North Greenford, as did Sutton at Cobham. That left Walton & Hersham as the odd team out. Twice they came from behind in their derby with ‘outsiders’ Molesey but eventually went down 3-2. There was success for ten Ryman League clubs whose youth teams do not play in the RYL, though nine others were beaten. Notable results included Aveley’s 10-0 romp at Harlow and Whitstable’s 3-2 victory at Conference club Crawley. Boreham Wood, Chatham, Dartford, Dulwich, Enfield Town, Hastings, Hornchurch, and Margate also progressed.

We can only take it day by day at the moment but this helps tremendously". Hastings United FC have also offered a friendly with Westfield at The Pilot Field next Monday 28th September, kick off 7.45pm and all gate receipts will be donated to Westfield FC to help them get through what must be a very difficult time. Admisson prices are £3 adults, £2 concessions and £1 Under 18s. Everyone at Hastings United FC hopes that Westfield will bounce back quickly from the devasting fire. CLUB GOSSIP HASTINGS UNITED FC Ryman Premier League Club Hastings United Football Club were shocked to hear of the fire at Westfield FC's Parish Field ground last Sunday morning which destroyed their club house and some of their changing room facilities. With no game at The Pilot Field this coming Saturday the Ryman Premier Club, on Monday morning, offered Sussex County League Division Two Side Westfield FC free use of The Pilot Field so that they can stage their John O'Hara League Cup game against County League One side Wick. Westfield were extremely grateful of the offer and their game against Wick took place on Saturday at the Pilot Field. Page 14 MARGATE FC Former Wales boss Terry Yorath has resigned as manager of Ryman Premier League side Margate. Yorath originally joined the Kent club as director of football in June 2008, but took over as manager following the departure of Barry Ashby last October. Margate are currently fourth from bottom in the Premier Division. Former Everton and Wales goalkeeping legend Neville Southall took charge of the side for Saturday's home game against AFC Hornchurch.
