Welcome to Bourne Park From The Club Secretary
Johns JottingsJohns JottingsGood afternoon everyone and wel-
come to Bourne Park for this Ryman
league Division One South match. Our
visitors today are four points clear at the
top of the table and have scored more
goals than anyone else in the league.
We welcome their players officials and
supporters as well as the match officials.
The last home match here was against
new comers to our league Whitehawk.
They are a big and aggresive side and it
needed a strong referee to handle the
match. Whitehawks number 4 should
have been sent off early in the game for
a disgraceful elbow against Tom
Bradbrook. The referee either did not
see this or choose not to take action. As
usual with this sort of
event, The Whitehawk
player went on to play
a major part in the
game. In the circum-
stances a 2-2 draw
was a good result
If you thought the ref-
eree here against Whitehawk lacked the
ability to make major decisions you
should have been at Fleet last Saturday.
When we were 1-0 down midway
through the second half, Tom Bradbrook
was what can only be described as
assaulted by the Fleet Town goalkeeper.
Tom was through on goal just outside
the penalty area when the keeper clat-
tered into him. So violent was the colli-
sion that Tom had to be substituted. For
this offence, the referee awarded a yel-
low card! The Fleet Town manager was
so sure (as was everybody else) that his
keeper was going to be sent off that he
readied a replacement. To compound
matters the referee played no more than
three minutes of added time at the end
of the game when five substitutions had
been made in the second half and there
was a lengthy delay for Tom’s injury. It
was interesting to read the views of the
Fleet supporters on their forum who all
agreed that their keeper was lucky not to
be sent off.
One subject on our forum was the
whereabouts of some of our players.
Jimmy Bottle is unable to play midweek
games which is why he has not been
seen much recently. He was also out
injured for a short
time. Kieron McCann
has been released
and has re- signed for
Cray Wanderers. Joe
Bannan, Dion
Managhan and Luke
Blewden have left
after failing to secure
a regular first team spot. Steven
Marshall has not been seen recently.
Joe Vines and Ryan Johnson have both
signed for Maidstone United. Joe
Horlock and Sam Collins complete their
suspensions today so will be available
for selection for Tuesday evening’s
match at home to Whitstable Town.
Enjoy the game!

Today’s Visitors - A Brief History
LeatherheadLeatherheadThe modern Leatherhead Football Club was
formed by the merger of Leatherhead Rose
and Leatherhead United in 1946. However
the research undertaken by David Johnston
and Graham Mitchell showed that the
Tanners can trace their continuous history
back to the formation of Leatherhead Rose
in 1907. The Surrey FA checked their
records and confirmed that the 2007-8 sea-
son was Leatherhead’s official Centenary.
The town’s first of many clubs was formed in
1886 and twenty one years later
Leatherhead Rose were established as a
team drawn from Leatherhead Common.
Rose played friendlies until the formation of
the Dorking and District League in 1909 and
they were the first League Champions. The
league shut down between 1914 and 1919
for the duration of the Great War in which
four Rose players and one committee man
were killed. One Leatherhead family closely
associated with Leatherhead Rose, the
Taylors, sent seven brothers to the War. Five
were killed and a sixth lost a leg. Only
‘Lucky’ Arthur remained physically unscathed
and was able to resume his playing career in
1919 -20 when Rose were League
Champions again. In 1920 Leatherhead
Rose joined the Kingston and District
League and won the League title three
times, the last in 1938-39.
Leatherhead United were formed in 1924
and in 1925-26 won Division One of the
Sutton and District League. In 1928-29 they
were third in the Sutton and District Premier
League, behind Leatherhead Rose who were
runners-up. In the early 1930s Fetcham
Grove based United joined the Surrey Junior
League. After becoming Champions in 1933-
34 they joined the Surrey Intermediate
League but were relegated in 1937 after a
disastrous season.
In September 1939 World War II began and
initially all sports were banned but the
restriction was soon lifted. Many leagues
were suspended because men were called
up and there were travel restrictions but the
Kingston League continued. Rose’s Barnett
Wood Lane ground was needed for allot-
ments and they returned to Kingston Road.
United played friendlies and in 1940-41
United beat Rose 3-2, the last ever meeting
of the two sides.
After the War officials of the two Clubs met
and on 27th May 1946 Leatherhead Football
Club was officially formed at a public meet-
ing. The two clubs pooled their financial
resources (a total of £200) and three former
Rose officials and two from United were
elected as officers. United’s Fetcham Grove
ground was to be used although a great deal
of work was required to bring it up to stan-
dard. The Tanners were accepted as late
entrants to the Surrey Senior League and
went on to win four consecutive
Championships before joining the
Metropolitan League, which included some
professional sides. After just one season
they switched to the new all-amateur
Delphian League, joining the Corinthian
League in 1958. They were the League’s last
Champions as in 1963 the Corinthian and
Delphian Leagues joined forced with the
Athenian League. Leatherhead won promo-
tion from Division One at the end of the first
season and inaugurated their floodlights with
a match against a Fulham side including
George Cohen, Alan Mullery, Bobby Robson
and Johnny Haynes. Leatherhead won the
Surrey Senior Cup in 1969 and also collect-
ed the Intermediate Cup and Senior Shield,
a unique achievement. The disappointment
of defeat in FA Amateur Cup semi-finals in
1971 and 1974 was tempered by election to
the Isthmian League.

LeatherheadLeatherheadHistory (Continued)
Leatherhead made national headlines in
1974-75 when they reached the Fourth
Round Proper of the FA Cup. After playing
through all the Qualifying Rounds they had to
overcome Bishops Stortford before meeting
and beating Football League opposition for
the first time. Colchester United went down 1-
0 at Fetcham Grove before ‘Leatherhead Lip’
Chris Kelly’s goal defeated Brighton & Hove
Albion at the Goldstone Ground. The Fourth
Round tie against First Division Leicester City
was switched to Filbert Street where
Leatherhead were two goals ahead at half
time eventually losing 2-3 when the fitness of
the full time players took its’ toll. In subse-
quent seasons the Tanners defeated two
more Football League sides - Cambridge
United and Northampton Town.
In 1978 the Tanners reached Wembley
Stadium at last, but were beaten in the FA
Trophy Final. Tragically Chairman Chris Luff,
‘Mr Leatherhead’ died suddenly in February
1978. His ambition had been to see
Leatherhead at Wembley. Without his leader-
ship the Club entered a period of decline and
were relegated in 1983. In 1985 the Tanners
were denied promotion by a three point
deduction but this period was typified by a
succession of managers and turnover of play-
ers. In 1990 Leatherhead slipped down into
Division Two South but they were back in
Division One in 1997. The Club’s finances
were still a problem and in 1999 only emer-
gency funding kept the Tanners going. In the
summer of 2000 Leatherhead FC was within
a few days of folding. The Club was saved by
its supporters who took over following a crisis
meeting at the end of May. Only one player
remained at Fetcham Grove so a new team
had to be built from scratch and although
Chick Botley won Manager of the Month for
March it was too late to avoid relegation.
Since then the Club has been careful to
ensure that its’ finances are self sustaining
whilst at the same time gradually improving
itself.
In 2006-7 Leatherhead were the lowest
ranked team to reach the First Round Proper
of the FA Cup, losing 1-2 at Football League
side Torquay United. Unfortunately league
form for the rest of the season and in the
early part of the 2007-08 campaign was poor.
When bottom placed and winless Molesey
won 2-1 at the Grove in October 2007, man-
ager David Harlow resigned and the majority
of the squad took that as their cue to leave as
well. Ian Hazel, who had managed Tooting &
Mitcham, Molesey and Sutton was quickly
appointed and immediately faced the tough
task of rebuilding the First Team during the
season, with the Tanners eventually finishing
14th.
However, the Youth Team won the Isthmian
Youth Cup and then the League by the nar-
rowest of margins, equal on points and goal
difference but they had scored one more goal
than their nearest rivals, Maidstone.
Ian Hazel’s reign lasted barely a year, resign-
ing in October 2008; however replacement
Bob Langford’s spell was even shorter, leav-
ing at the end of the season as Tanners
struggled into 15th position. The previous
year’s successful Youth team squad had
stepped up with their manager, Tony
FitzGerald, to form a reserve team after a gap
of 8 years, and duly added to their previous
successes by winning the Suburban League
South Championship by a margin of 18
points.
Mick Sullivan, who had great success in an
eight year stint at local rivals Merstham, was
appointed First Team Manager in May 2009,
and immediately set about rebuilding the
team for the 2009-10 season. Under
Sullivan’s guidance the club had its most suc-
cessful season in years, winning the Isthmian
League Cup and finishing the season in fifth
place in he league before losing a play-off
semi final.

Match ReportMatch ReportSittingbourne 2 Whitehawk 2Sittingbourne 2 Whitehawk 2
Whitehawk were just two
minutes away from gaining
revenge for their 1992/1993 FA
Cup 1st qualifying 1-0 defeat by
Sittingbourne (courtesy of a Dave
Bourne penalty) but a brave Tom
Bradbrook header gave the
Brickies a share of the spoils in a
physical encounter that needed a
stronger hand from the referee.
Sittingbourne almost got off to a
flying start against the league new-
comers when Ryan Golding made
ground into the Hawk’s area and
only a last ditch challenge stopped
him from getting in a shot.
The Hawks first threat came on 8
minutes when Josh Jones ran
down the right and passed inside
to Ben Godfrey whose weak shot
was easily held by Matt Reed.
On 26 minutes Bradbrook did well
to keep the ball in play and he
found Billy Manners whose shot
was blocked. At the other end Joe
Gatting headed straight at Reed.
The half seemed to be heading for
a stalemate when Josh Jones
cross caught the Sittingbourne
defence napping and Jarahl
Hughes struck the ball past Matt
Reed to put the Hawks ahead.
Sittingbourne came out for the
second half with purpose,
Bradbrook having a shot from a
tight angle go narrowly over the
Hawks bar but the Sittingbourne
fans only had to wait until 3 min-
utes into the half when the ball
was floated to Bradbrook who
headed it on to Paul Semakula to
fire in the equaliser.
Jack Hooper had a header go over
the bar and then The Hawks had a
“goal” cancelled out for off
side.Bradbrook had a great chance
but fired his shot wide.
Reed was called into action to
save a free kick after Jack Hooper
committed a foul just outside the
Brickies. The Hawks then had a
penalty appeal turned down but
won a free kick when Hicham
Akhazzan committed a foul to the
right of the Brickies goal, the ball
was floated into the area and an
unmarked Joe Gatting headed
past Reed to restore Whitehawk’s
lead.
Ben Godfrey nearly put the game
beyond the reach of Sittingbourne
on 82 minutes but his shot glanced
off a post, Sittingbourne didn’t give
up though and with two minutes to
go Bradbrook headed the ball just
before the Hawks keeper Lloyd
Anderson got to it, and the ball
trickled into the net and
Sittingbourne were level again.
There was then a tense 4 minutes
of time added on but neither side
could add to the score line.

Chatham Town ended Metropolitan Police’s 100 per
cent record with a 2-2 draw at Imber Court on
Saturday. Few would have given much for their
chances after Craig Brown and Eddie Smith gave the
home side a 2-0 lead in the first half-hour, especially
as the boys in blue had conceded only two league
goals all season.
But Ray Powell’s penalty deep into added time at the
end of the first half gave Chats some hope and they
equalised with a Brad Potter header on the hour.
That stirred the Police into life but Chats keeper
James Tedder atoned for presenting them with their
second goal by pulling off several outstanding saves.
So Leatherhead, who had no game, still lead the
table by five points, though the Met have four match-
es in hand. Bognor, in third place, were on FA Trophy
duty but stayed put as the two teams a point behind
them were both beaten.
Sittingbourne went down to a 24th minute goal by
Darren Wheeler at Fleet while Burgess Hill lost 3-2 at
home to Walton & Hersham in an eventful affair.
Nick Fogden headed the Hillians in front after four
minutes but by the 26th minute he found himself
between the posts to face a penalty after keeper Joel
Harding was sent off for bringing down Phil Williams.
Dean Thomas made no mistake with the spot-kick
and defender Richard Taylor put the visitors ahead
two minutes later. Kenny Ojukwu made it 3-1 in the
hour but Steve Harper pulled one back three minutes
with a penalty for a push by Adam Howarth, who was
himself sent off shortly afterwards.
The red card was also given a thorough airing at
Faversham, who drew 2-2 with Chipstead. Anthony-
James Morrison put the visitors in front after 21 min-
utes, Alex Waugh replied and Chipstead went ahead
again before half-time through Craig Gardner. Tom
Hickman made it 2-2 midway through the second half,
shortly after Faversham manager Justin Luchford had
been dismissed from the bench. His brother, Dane,
was then sent off along with Chipstead’s Adam
Broomhead and Billy Chattaway following a brawl.
Eastbourne hoped to follow up their impressive mid-
week win at Bognor with success in another Sussex
derby, at Horsham YMCA. Although Antoine Douglas
gave YM an early lead, Eastbourne looked on course
as Brett Patton equalised and Sam Crabb put them
ahead on the stroke of half-time. But lowly YM
launched a late rally and took the points with two
goals in the last 13 minutes from Spencer Sachies
and Gavin Gordon.
The scoreline was the same at Whyteleafe where
Josh Smith gave the home side a third-minute lead
and they made it 3-0 by half-time through Freddie
Fleming and a Steven Lloyd own goal. Stuart Vahid
pulled one back on 73 minutes and Ian Pulman
reduced the arrears further, but too late.
An own goal by Tony Timms gave Merstham a half-
time lead at home to Worthing, who equalised early in
the second half with a volley by Tom Lawley. Harry
Ottaway restored Merstham’s advantage but, with
time beginning to run out, Terry Dodd and Michael
Huckett each netted their tenth goals of the season to
put Rebels in front, only for a last-ditch strike by
Jordan Cheadle to make it 3-3.
There were six goals, too, at Whitehawk, where the
hosts overcame Ramsgate 4-2 with goals from substi-
tutes Ben Godfrey and Jamie Brotherton in the last 16
minutes. Mark Lovell opened the scoring for Rams
after four minutes but they were behind by the 19-
minute mark as Josh Jones and Jamahl Hughes
swooped for Hawks. James Gregory’s long-range
strike made it 2-2 at half-time and it stayed that way
until Godfrey claimed his tenth goal of the season.
A 57th minute penalty by Mark Nicholls gave Walton
Casuals a 2-1 win over Corinthian-Casuals. Danny
Buckle’s early header for Walton was wiped out by
Matt Powell just after half-time. Then a foul on Alfie
Arthur gave Nicholls his chance.

Match ReportMatch ReportFleet Town 1 Sittingbourne 0Fleet Town 1 Sittingbourne 0
This match turned on an amazing
decision by referee, Mr Whittaker. mid-
way through the second half, with
Sittingbourne trailing by a goal scored in
the first half by Darren Wheeler directly
from a free kick. Tom Bradbrook got the
better of the Fleet defence and only had
the keeper, Jamie Norris, to beat when
the young Fleet goalkeeper deliberately
clattered into him leaving leading
Sittingbourne goalscorer Bradbrook
injured on the ground. Mr Whittaker
reached into his pocket and pulled out a
yellow card when it was clearly a red
card offence. Uproar followed with
Sittingbourne manager, Gary Abbott,
understandably upset by this. The refer-
ee, who by now probably realised his
huge mistake, sent Abbott from the dug
out. The resultant free kick, just outside
of the penalty area, was taken by half
time substitute, Hicham Akhazzan. His
shot went harmlessly wide of the Fleet
goal. To compound matters, Bradbrook
had to be substituted because of the
injury he sustained in the collision.
Mr Whittaker had already angered the
Bourne faithful by refusing a penalty five
minutes from half time when Bradbrook
was tripped from behind in the Fleet
penalty area.
Fleet were the better side in the first half
with Reed having to make a number of
saves. The lively Dyer and Wheeler up
front were giving the Sittingbourne
defence a torrid time. Laurence Harvey,
back in the side after missing a number
of games through injury gave away the
crucial free kick that Fleet scored from.
The second half was a different matter.
Hicham Akhazzan replaced Jack Hooper
and he gave the Bourne attack a distinct
boost. Sittingbourne were now playing up
the pronounced slope and with Golding,
Akhazzan and Bradbrook seeing more of
the ball an equaliser looked likely. Fleet
were still dangerous though and Fleet's
best forward, the diminutive Johnnie
Dyer, and perhaps should have done bet-
ter than shoot into the side netting.
Golding then headed over the Fleet bar
from 5 yards after and excellent cross by
Akhazzan.
After 58 minutes, Akhazzan got some
power behind a shot and Fleet goalkeep-
er, Norris was only able to push the ball
away. Bradbrook latched on it only to be
robbed at the last second by the keeper.
Then came the Collision incident
between Bradbrook and the Fleet keeper
Jamie Norris. The Fleet manager, in
anticipation of a sending off had already
readied a substitute to replace Norris
when he realised that Christmas had
come early for the Hampshire side. As
Bradbrook was hobbling off injured a
remark he made to the referee earned
him a caution.
The last goal action of note in the game
came when Darren Wheeler's shot saw
Matt Reed pull off a good save.
The referee had not finished his baffling
officiating as it was indicated that one
minute of additional time would be
played. Taking into account that five sub-
stitutions had been made in the second
half and the long delay due to the
Bradbrook incident it surely should have
been at least five minutes.

Hi everyone and welcome to today’s game against Leatherhead.
It’s been a mixed couple of weeks for the club as we have only got 1 point from the last two
games. We went into the game at home to Whitehawk in a great position being third and a
win would be great for us. However, we only managed to salvage a point in the end which I
did think was a fair result. Whitehawk are the new team in the league with a big budget and
I am sure they will finish in a healthy position at the end. I believe that we did play well in
patches and not for the first time this season we showed fantastic spirit to come from behind
twice to salvage a point. I can quite honestly say that my nose is still hurting after the keep-
er punched me full on ! The things you do for the sake of football… it’s a great sport !
We then moved onto last Saturday away at Fleet….. what to say about this one !!!!!
ASSULT SPRINGS TO MIND ! All of the boys and the fans must feel gutted about this
game. I don’t believe we deserved to lose especially the way we did in the end. I don’t think
either team played that well and it was a bit of a scrap. They got a free kick and to be fair
great goal. We tried our best to get back into the game but it was not to be. As you probably
saw in the first half, I was clearly tripped in the box and that should have been a penalty.
Like everyone, I still cannot find a reason why the ref did not send of their keeper. It was a
clear goal opportunity in which the keeper fully stopped which must be a red card. It’s a bit
embarrassing when their captain and keeper both apologies and state that he should have
left the field. I had to leave the pitch as it felt like I had been hit by a bus and could not walk
(or see in fact!). Abbo was sent off and the day just could not get any worse !
In the words of the great Ron Atkinson when he was asked how the ref got on in a game
he said….. ‘’ Look, you know that after a game I never comment on the referee, and I am
not going to break a habit of a lifetime to talk about that stupid @&%£# ’’ priceless !
Anyway, even after losing the results went our way and we currently sit in fifth which is still a
great position. We may have played more games but we have the points on the table and
that’s the main thing ! The mood in the camp is still pretty good and we just need to get
another win under our belt !
Regarding Injuries I think Joe is close to coming back to training, it will be great to see him
back. Joe Horlock still has one more games suspension, we are really missing him so it will
be a boost when he returns.
I am not great at the moment after that tackle at Fleet. As I write I am limping quite bad
which is not good. I will have to see how it is today as I do not want to miss it.
Today’s game against Leatherhead is going to be tough indeed as they have started the
season well.
Please get behind us as much as you can ( I am sure you will as usual) !
Thanks again for your support,
Bradders
