Grass Roots Talk

Good Evening and welcome to The Grass Roots Stadium for this Spartan

South Midland Premier Division tie.

Today we welcome the players, officials and supporters of Holmer Green

to Tring, we hope they enjoy their short stay with us, and have a safe trip

back afterwards.

We also give a warm welcome to our match officials- Mr S.Pater and his

assistants-Mr J.Fowler & Mr S.Beardon

Tonight's match is sponsored by two of our Vice Presidents and Jean &

Les Robbins and we would like to thank them for their continued generous

support.

Our guests today are not having the best of seasons so far and at present

are second from bottom in the table. However they have beaten us twice

this season in cup games. 4-3 in The FA Cup and on Pens in The Premier

Div. Cup after being 4-4 after extra time. We may be in for some goals

tonight on that form. So this will be another tough ask for our young side.

We had a good wi on Saturday 4-0 against Hillingdon Borough when not

only the playing side did well but our groundsman did a terrific job to get

the game on when a lot of fixtures were lost.

Tonight we congratulate Dan Steadman who plays his 100th game for the

club.

Our under 15's lost to Harpendon in the ¼ final of the County Cup on

Sunday but put up a good performance.

Our under 18's play at Berkhamsted tomorrow night in The Plate so go

along and give them some support if you can.

Next Saturday The First team are at home to Biggleswade Utd

To keep up with all our teams results, fixtures and general club news.

Page 6: Tring Athletic v Holmer Green

History of Tring Athletic: Formed in March 1958 by a group of local men who contributed app. £2,000 towards the cost of the land, fencing,

changing rooms etc .Players, Committee members and friends carried out the work while the team played on another

pitch. Originally formed for youngsters under the age of 21, the team won many trophies in the West Herts. Div. 3

including the Div. 1 title 3 times in 5 years, often playing against adult sides.

The 70’s/80’s The Club went through a lean time and it was decided to scrap the upper age limit. Many former players returned

which resulted in another successful period in the early 1970’s.

Many fine players turned out for the Club and went on to play for professional/senior clubs. In the mid-seventies the

Club nearly folded and the ground was sold to the Council. The reserves were disbanded and the First team dropped

down through the leagues. It was decided to turn to youth again. This formula enabled the Club to work back through

the leagues and by 1986 we were competing in the Premier Div. and the reserves were resurrected.

South Midlands-The 90’s. In 1988 the Club joined The South Midlands and as a result gained Senior status with The Herts. FA

In 1989 we entered in a 3 year ground sharing agreement with Tring Town.

In 1992 the first team moved back to Miswell Lane, where the Reserves had continued to play. The side established

itself in The South Midlands and gained promotion to the newly formed Senior Div.

in 1993. In 1994/5 season, the First Team reached the final of the Senior Div. Cup While the Reserves were finalists

in the Apsley Junior Cup for the second year running.

In 1996/7 after leading the Div. for the whole season, some poor results at the end found us finishing 3rd. We also

reached the semi- final of the Herts. Charity Shield and won the St. Mary’s Cup beating 5 Senior sides including

Isthmian League Hemel Hempstead and Berkhamsted Town In 1997/8 after winning the last 14 games we lost out on

the Title on goal difference of 2. The Reserves won their league by 10 points winning every home game. The following year we won the South Midlands Senior Div. Cup and also The St. Mary’s Cup for the second time,

defeating neighbours Tring Town in the semi-final in front of a crowd of 350, mostly Athletic supporters. In the

league after suffering just one defeat in 28 games, we finished 3rd.

The 1999/2000 season proved to be one to remember. £ 50k was spent on new changing rooms and extending the

Clubhouse and over 1000 people turned up to watch a Watford X1 refereed by Graham Barber and Graham Poll.. We

also formed a third team a Vets side and a Ladies team. The season turned out to be our most successful. Not only

winning the Senior Div. by 11 points, we also reached 5 finals. Winning The Herts. Charity Shield, Herts. Senior

Centenary Trophy and the Cherry Red Books Trophy in it’s inaugural year. We were narrowly beaten 1-0in The Senior

Div. Cup and the reached Final of the St. Mary’s Cup which was never played because of a back log of fixtures.

We were awarded the Houghton Cup for achievements in outside competitions.

The Management team were also voted Managers of the season. We lost only 6 out of 60 games all season. The

Reserves reached the Final of The Intermediate Cup and the A Team finished runners up in the West Herts. Div.

The New Millennium We continued our success into the new one (2000/01) by retaining the Herts. Senior Centenary Trophy (again beating

Wormley Rovers 2-0) and the Cherry Red Books Trophy (Virginia Water 1-0). The Reserves won the League title and a

newly formed B Team claimed the runners-up spot. The following season (2001/02) we won the Herts. Charity Shield

for the 2nd time beating Letchworth 4-1. The A Team reached the Apsley Junior Cup final and the B Team won the

sporting award. Season 2002/03 – More success followed as we capture the Herts. Senior Centenary Trophy for the 3rd time, to

become the first club to do so. We finished 3rd in the table and won the League Cup for the 2nd time, to make 12

major trophies in 7 years. We were also finalists in the Cherry Red Books Trophy. The A Team finished runners up as

did the Under 16's in their first season, the B Team won the sporting award for the 2nd year running and the Ladies

had a great run in the Women's FA Cup. For the 3rd year running Darrel Bodimeade won an award for the best playing

surface, which is just reward for the tremendous job he does for the club.

Page 7: Tring Athletic v Holmer Green

Season 2003/04 –Following our failure to secure floodlights at Miswell Lane we entered into an historic alliance

with Tring Town to play our first and reserve team football in season 2004/05 at Pendley where lights are already in

place. The main focus was to be to raise the funds needed to build a new Clubhouse, the previous building burnt down

in March 2003. Miswell Lane will be retained and will be used by our A, B, and Ladies sides. This new arrangement

with Tring Town secured senior level football in the town.

Season2004/05 – New season at a new ground in a new division with fantastic facilities. First team finished 6th in

the Premier Division and also won the St Mary's Cup for the 3rd time defeating Hemel Hempstead in the Final. We

were also Runners Up in the South Midlands Floodlit Cup Final losing on penalties to Oxhey Jets. Played in the F A

Vase for the first time.

Season 2005/6 –The Club entered the F A Cup for the 1st time in its history but was defeated in the prelim

round. In a disappointing season the highlight was a victory over Watford in the Herts Senior Trophy with a large

crowd enjoying a 1-0 win. Defeat in this competition came at the hands of Stevenage Borough of the Conference

league

Season 2006/7-The first team finished mid table after a difficult start to the season. Went 3 rounds in the e.on

FA Cup, losing to Kings Lyn, the biggest side in the competition at that time. The events of the year however came

after the season had completed. Mick Eldridge and Ray Brimsom stepped down as first team managers after 17 years.

Ron Brimsom also after 16 years decided to hand over the reigns and our Hon. Secretary Ralph Griffiths also stood

down after 25 years in that position. A wealth of experience which thankfully will not be lost, as they are all staying

on in some capacity.

Season 2007/2008-.The new management team of Phil Casserley and Terry Nightingale ended in glory at The

County Ground, Letchworth, with the First Team lifting The Herts. Charity Shield for the 3rd time.

Season 2008/2009- A reasonable league campaign saw the first team finish in 8th position. However in true Athletic tradition, it was in the cups in which we excelled, reaching 4 semi-finals. After being 4-2 up

with just a few minutes to go, 3 late goals meant the first one slipped away. This strengthened the resolve of the

whole team and in a remarkable last seven days of the season, three trophies were gained. Winning the League

Challenge Trophy and Premier Div. Cup for the first time and also defeating local rivals Leverstock Green to pick up

the St. Mary’s Cup for the 4th time Ex-player, Ben Williams re-joined the club as reserve team manager mid season and will lead the side in the Suburban

League next season.

Season 2009/2010- After last season’s tremendous cup haul, this year the first team finished without a trophy. However they finished third in the league, the highest position the club’s history so far. With the ground getting the

higher ground grading required, the management and players will be hoping to put in a challenge for the title in

2010/2011.

The B Team did pick up some silver ware winning The Stanley Rous Challenge Cup at Hemel Hempstead Town’s ground.

Season 2010/2011- The first team finished runners up in The Premier Division. They also won The St. Mary’s

Cup beating Leverstock Green in the final and reached the final of The Floodlite Cup, losing 2-0 to Royston Town

Season 2011/2012- With a new Management set up and several new faces in the First team, we were pleased to

finish in the top six and reach 3 cup semi-finals. All our sides performed well, with one of our youth sides going

through the league season undefeated. The ladies won their league and reached the final of the County Cup, losing to

Arsenal reserves. SEASON 2012/2013 - Mixed season with the 1st team winning their initial F A Cup tie at Bedfont and then

losing in the next round to Ashford Town after a replay, in the F A Vase we lost at first hurdle to FC Romania. In the

League we finished just below half way, lost on penalties to Hadley in the semi final of the Premier Division Cup and

were finalists in the St Mary's Cup losing to local rivals Berkhamsted. The "A" Team, under Dave Adamson and James

Bevan won the West Herts Peace Memorial Cup for the first time in the Club's history. Unfortunately the Ladies

team withdrew from their league through lack of players. SEASON 2013/2014 -First team had a good run in The FA Vase and finished mid-table. Reserves finished

runners up on goal difference and won promotion to the Premier Division. Club purchased the Free-Hold of the ground

and second pitch to ensure future football in the town.

A brief history of Holmer Green FC

Originally founded in 1908, Holmer played initially in The Chesham and District League. Matches were played at Campbell’s Meadow, (now the Rosetti Estate), close to a tennis racket factory. Sometime before 1934 the Club moved to Holmer Green Common and set up headquarters in The Bat and Ball. In 1934 the Club switched to The Wycombe Combination League. The first known trophy to be won by Holmer Green was The Chesham Charity Cup in 1939, the first of 27 Cups and Championships won thus far by the 1st XI. The early 70’s saw the start of a very successful thirty years in the Club’s history. Holmer Green moved to their present ground, Watchet Lane, in 1975 when the new Holmer Green Sports Association pavilion was fully ready. Holmer won The Berks & Bucks Intermediate Cup in 1976-77. Senior Status was thus achieved and since then the Club has striven to play at the highest level possible for a strictly amateur club. The Club, through current President John Anderson, was heavily involved in the moves that set up The Chiltonian League in 1984. That League embraced clubs from no less than six different counties, before being swallowed up by The Hellenic. Holmer had been very successful in the Chiltonian, and believed that a move to a better run league, where the clubs were encouraged to improve facilities, should be the next step. The Chiltonian, only naturally, were reluctant to lose their “flagship” club and tried to stop the move to the The South Midlands League. Not until August 17th 1995 did Holmer Green finally exhaust the FA’s appeal system, successfully, being allowed to switch Leagues.

This move gave Holmer Green the impetus to finally erect a Stand, now called The Don Want Stand in honour of their former long-serving groundsman who still helps out with his time and expertise, on a regular basis. Don was recently presented with some momentos to mark his 50 years with the Football Club.

Over the following years huge strides were taken which made possible the erection of floodlights, thanks to the fund-raising, grants, and a loan from ex- player Mark Williams. Premier Division status was achieved in 1999 after winning the Senior Division twice in four seasons, being 2nd and 4th in between. A financial crisis arose some 10 or more years ago, after more ground improvements, Mick Bowler came in to help steady the ship, with great financial assistance from former player John Walters. Centenary events started with a visit from a full Wycombe Wanderers team in July 2007 when the ground record of over 800 was recorded. In 2008 the Senior Club formally merged with Holmer Green Minors FC to become “One Club” and this occasion coincided with the new Club as a whole being named “ Club of the Year 2008” by Bucks & Milton Keynes Sports Partnership. Season 2008-09 was Holmer’s 10th successive one in the Premier Division. After an unexpectedly long stay in the Premier Division, Holmer Green was demoted to Division One for season 2009-10, despite avoiding the two relegation positions. Work immediately began to regain the “F” Grading required for Step 5 football to return to Watchet Lane. With Manager Jason Weinrabe, who had twice led the Club to avoid the relegation positions in difficult circumstances, going to work in Australia, the Club promoted Coach Chris Allen to the Manager’s job. Chris was assisted by Gareth Williams and Matt Pollard. The 1st XI won the First Division by three points in 2009-10 losing only 3 of 40 games. The coveted “F” Grading was achieved in 2011.

League

TAFC Reserve team 0-2 Carshalton Athletic

On 30 September 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain triumphly waved an

Anglo-German Agreement declaring "Peace for Our Time" at the Heston Aerodrome. Shortly

afterwards came the bloodiest global conflict of the 20th Century.

In the lead up to the 1976 Test Series, England Captain Tony Greig proudly declared that he

intended to make the West Indies grovel. England slumped to a 3-0 Series Defeat.

Along the same theme, on 10th January 2014 - Tring Athletic Reserve Manager Colin Phillips

surveyed his striking options - with club record scorer Andy Humphreys and Alex Groom

returning, and with Stewart King and Ryan Sturges in the line up - and confidently predicted

goals in their Suburban Premier League clash with Carshalton Athletic. Athletic failed to record

a shot of note all game...

It wasn't for the want of trying. As has been the case all season, Tring grafted, worked hard and

had good shape - but the opposition has been a step above all season. In the first half, Athletic

were shoddy in possession but restricted their opponents to shots from distance. They also

could have had a couple of penalties and could feel hard done by. King surged down the right

and whipped over a cross that Humphreys and Groom agonisingly failed to reach. That was in

Tring's first attack as sloppy play persistently put the lads under needless pressure.

Tring improved - King surged forward again but was hauled down. No penalty.

A free kick was whipped into the box - Smethers was hauled to the floor. No penalty.

With Tring on the ascendancy and piling forward, Ryan Sturges inexplicably underhit a

backward pass to George Tomlin. Green missed his tackle and Grasso could not stop the shot.

Half Time - TAFC Res 0 Carshalton Ath 1

The second half started in the same vein - with Carshalton excellent defence preventing

Humphreys and Green from getting a sniff.

At the other end, a Carshalton free kick was left to beat everyone and was headed back across

the box. 2-0.

To their credit the lads kept on battling, with Caterer making a difference with his direct

running. But no-one could get on the end of his crosses. At the other end, Grasso made a couple

of fine saves to keep Tring in it.

But despite their brave efforts and excellent team spirit it was not to be.

Team - Grasso, Cullimore J, Tomlin G, Salmon D (Cullimore T) , Butler J, Green, Sturges

(Caterer), Smethers, Groom, Humphreys, King (Seaton). Sub not used - Naylor.

From www.chilfest.co.uk - more details & further line ups to follow

Since announcing back in July that Chilfest would not be returning we have

been overwhelmed by the comments received from so many in support of the

event. We have now had a chance to consider your views and this, combined

with some exciting developments in identifying possible line-ups for a future

event, has led to a re-think on our part.

So we're delighted to announce that Chilfest WILL be returning on Saturday 10

July 2015.

Staging Chilfest has always been about doing good for the local community and

we're also delighted to announce that we have once again chosen Rennie Grove

League

Colney Heath 1-0 TAFC First team

NARROW DEFEAT AT COLNEY

On a blustery day Colney Heath completed the league double

over Athletic following Ben Awads headed goal in the 79th

minute, and by the same scoreline as that in September.

Athletic started the better, kicking down the slope and with the

strong wind in the same direction. In the first minute Taylor

Collins was played in by Ollie Hogg but home keeper Tom

Blackman managed to save with his legs. Athletic won two

corners in quick succession and a half chance fell to Chris Vardy

which sailed past the wrong side of the post.

There then was a period where neither side dominated, both

keepers had little to do, Athletic were looking to play a quick

ball to speedy forwards Chris Vardy and Taylor Collins,

however the strong wind would get behind the ball which would

then go straight through to keeper Tom Blackman or it sailed

harmlessly over the goal line.

In the 32nd minute Colney Heaths full back Ben Crilley found

himself in space and tested Jack Hopwood who saved low

down. Just a minute later Sam Jolliffe hit tremendous half volley

from just outside of the penalty area but keeper Tom Blackman

pulled off an equally good save.

Half Time: Colney Heath 0 Tring Athletic 0

Athletic again started the better winning early corners without

troubling Colney Heaths goal. The home side were seeing a lot

of the ball in midfield but were unable to penetrate Athletics

defence. In the 66th minute Athletic were awarded a free kick

Page 23: Tring Athletic v Holmer Green

just outside of the area. Taylor Collins stepped up and his goal

bound shot was turned away for a corner by keeper Tom

Blackman.

Colney Heath then had a succession of corners which were

comfortably dealt with by Athletics defenders. Both sides made

substitutions, then Colney Heath scored what proved to be the

winning goal in the 79th

minute. Ollie Butler was unlucky to concede a free kick on the

right side, amazingly the referee even saw it as a yellow card,

this appeared inconsistent with a number of earlier decisions.

From the free kick the ball was floated into Athletics area where

substitute Ben Awad headed into the goal off the underside of

the bar.

Athletic pushed forward looking for an equaliser but the home

side defended well. In the final few minutes Colney Heaths

Andrew Hannon and Danny Payne were yellow carded for late

challenges.

A disappointing result in difficult conditions for Athletic who

were looking to carry on their impressive away record, their next

fixture however comes quickly as they are away again on

Tuesday when they visit London Tigers.

Sun 18th Jan 2015

Herts County Cup 5th Round - Quarter final

TAFC U15 Youth Team 1-2 Harpenden Colts Pirates TAFC goals: Harry Poll

What a terrific effort by all of the lads this morning.

We dominated the early stages of the game but gifted our opponents a

goal – this one from our corner.

After going a second goal down we re-grouped and really worked hard

to get back into the game.

Every player worked well in their positions and we gradually

committed more and more players forward to try and create chances.

It seemed unbelievable given the play that we could go into half time 2

goals down but after some great encouragement during the break we

flew out in the second half.

We were rewarded with an excellent goal from Harry Poll who finished

well with his left foot after staying up for a corner.

It was all Tring from then on but as hard as we tried we just couldn’t

get the goal our play deserved.

As the game wore on we left gaps at the back but Luke Priestley came

to our rescue whenever Harpenden broke.

This was a spirited performance the like of which we need every week.
