A VERY WARM WELCOME TO YOU ALL And particularly to the officials, players and supporters of Westfield FC who are here this evening for this Velocity Trophy fixture – our second game against them having gone down 0-2 in the away league match some weeks back.

Our scheduled game last Saturday away at South Park fell victim to the heavy rain, whilst tonight’s opponents were in action but lost out away to Harlow Town also by a 0-2 scoreline. Our postponed game followed on from the disastrous trip to Sholing on Tuesday evening in which we finished with 9 men and by that same 0-2 scoreline in exiting the Buildbase Trophy for another season.

We already know that whatever the result in this match tonight that we will not be progressing in this competition which leaves the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup to compete for and in that we will be at home to Windsor FC on Tuesday next.

Many thanks for coming this evening and hopefully throughout the months ahead, which we now look forward to. We are back in action here on Saturday when we entertain Ashford Town (Mx.) but before that we have this evening’s game to address and apply ourselves to.

Now for my usual closing plea to get behind the lads and support at all times – it really does make a difference and will do particularly over the coming months

Terry Staines, Chairman

THE NON-LEAGUE PAPER COLUMN We can always count on the FA Cup to throw up memorable and unusual stories each season for Non-League clubs.

So far this is the season for Chichester City. The Step 4 club have made it all the way to the first round for the first time in 60 years – and then got a bye straight into the second!

For those who missed it, the bye came because of League One Bury’s demise. There were an odd number of clubs in the first-round proper draw so it was decided the final ball in the hat would progress straight through, with the £36,000 prize money cheque thrown in for good measure.

Of course, no football club or fan wants to be seen benefiting from someone else’s misfortune, but it seemed fitting that the lowest ranked club left in the competition were the lucky recipients.

They’ve even made a donation to the Bury start-up club, which they didn’t have to, showing they understand the importance of the football family.

The players celebrated wildly on TV and fair play to them. They now get the chance to draw a plum tie in the second round and even dream of reaching the third round – what a story that would be.

Like many others, Chichester City will be grateful for the financial benefits of the FA Cup too. The FA recently doubled the prize fund and this season we saw losing money in the qualifying rounds.

THE NON-LEAGUE PAPER COLUMN The FA see the competition as a great way to put the money from TV deals back into football and it is certainly huge for clubs providing, they spend it right.

And that’s one of the big talking points – how does a club spend their money wisely? For some that might mean signing that striker that will win promotion. For others it’s purchasing new equipment or renovating the tea bar.

Our friend from The Non-League Show, Tim Fuell, penned a column in last Sunday’s NLP on the very subject. As someone involved at Hayes & Yeading he is seeing first-hand how big a cup run can be with their first-round proper tie against Oxford United selected for live TV.

Check the column out if you can, but Tim brings up the idea of how money can be best spent – how about a voucher to be used by clubs at FA recommended outlets? So instead of the money being wasted on the team, an investment is made into the club’s infrastructure or is used to improve the ground.

You’ll no doubt have your own views but anything that can be to the benefit of a football club long term is surely the way to go?

We’ll enjoy telling the FA Cup stories over the coming weeks and plenty of clubs will soak up the national spotlight. While the actual games are great in the moment, it’s important the cup money leaves a lasting legacy too.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WESTFIELD FC

Westfield Football Club was formed in 1953 as Westfield Boys Club, playing

in the Woking and District League and also running a youth team.

The 1950s

From the start the Club had success in the competitions it entered. Among

the trophies won in the early years were the Surrey Youth Invitation Cup in

1953/54, the Surrey Junior Charity Cup in 1954/55 and 1955/56, the Surrey

Junior Cup (at the first attempt) in 1955/56 and the Surrey Youth Cup in

1956/57.

Following several seasons in local league football, the Club made the break

into Surrey Intermediate football using the present ground at Woking Park,

Kingfield. Successes soon came and, after becoming League Champions and

Cup winners on several occasions in the subsequent seasons, the Club

decided to apply for senior status. The application was accepted in 1964 and

after one season in the Parthenon League, Westfield met the necessary

ground grading requirements and joined the Surrey Senior League.

The 1960s

Westfield’s future success in senior football sprang from their ability to

attract the best local youngsters, and they were successful in winning the

Surrey Youth Cup again in 1966/67 and 1969/70, and the Surrey Youth

Shield in 1969/70 and 1970/71. This talent matured and there followed

three tremendous seasons for the senior side, when they won the Surrey

Senior League Cup in 1971/72, followed by the League and Cup double in

1972/73, and the League Championship again in 1973/74.

The 1970s and 1980s

The Surrey Senior League was disbanded and reformed as the Combined

Counties Football League in 1978, and Westfield FC became founder

members and have retained membership to date. Success, however, has

been more difficult to achieve and in recent times the closest the senior

team has come to honours was in 1989/90, when they lost the final of the

Combined Counties League Cup to Hartley Wintney in extra time.

Page 27: MARLOW · column in last Sunday’s NLP on the very subject. As someone involved at Hayes & Yeading he is seeing first-hand how big a cup run can be with their first-round proper

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WESTFIELD FC

2000-2003

In recent seasons with former Woking player, John Cassidy as manager, the

senior side improved their league position, finishing sixth in season 2000/01.

That season saw the Club enter the Carlsberg FA Vase for the first time,

performing beyond expectations before losing in the Fourth Round to

Ryman League Arlesey Town, on the way beating Wantage Town, Lewes and

Bowers United.

Season 2002/03 saw Westfield enter the FA Cup for the first time, losing at

home to Dorking in the Preliminary Round.

Westfield continued to compete at youth level, and they won the Combined

Counties Youth League Cup in 1991/92, as well as being runners-up in the

League. Following the installation of floodlights in 1998, the U18 team

joined the Southern Youth Floodlight League as members of the Western

Division.

The Club also run an U16 team playing in the West Surrey Boys League. This

is currently the Club’s most successful side, last season competing at U15

level the team won the League Championship, the League Cup and the

Surrey County Cup.

2003-2006

Following the end of the 2003/04 season, Westfield lost both First and

Reserve Team managers. John Cassidy moved to Frimley Green, and

thereafter back to Farnham Town, and Graham Pope moved to Godalming

& Guildford to manage their reserve team in the Suburban league. Westfield

recruited Paul Donaghy from Guildford-based Merrow as first-team

manager, and Dave Robson – long-time Westfield player – took over the

reserves.

At the end of 2005/06 Westfield were relegated to the 1st Division, due to

new ground-grading regulations after a very acrimonious conflict with the

league. Numerous commitments from league officials were reneged upon,

and after months of appeals and meetings, Westfield had to accept their

unwelcome fate.

Page 28: MARLOW · column in last Sunday’s NLP on the very subject. As someone involved at Hayes & Yeading he is seeing first-hand how big a cup run can be with their first-round proper

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WESTFIELD FC

After a mid-table Division 1 season and partly because of the league-

enforced relegation, Manager Paul Donaghy decided to resign as First Team

manager to join Godalming and Reserve Team manager Dave Robson also

quit. The team of ex-player Martin Powell, ex-Spurs stalwart David Howells

and coach John Comer took over the running of the senior teams for the

start of the 2007/08 season.

2007-2010

In the close season of 2007/08, following a highly credible 4th place finish,

Martin resigned as manager due to personal circumstances; his departure

signaled the exits of both David Howells and John Comer. In July 2008 the

position of 1st Team Manager was filled by Steve Plunkett, the ex-

Godalming Town Reserves boss, though he was replaced within 4 months

by the returning Dave Robson, as the club attempted to rebuild following a

mass exodus of players.

Dave Robson did a fine job stabilizing the club, but after an indifferent

2009/10 was replaced by joint managers, Craig Moore and John Comer.

Off the pitch there was good news, as building of the new facilities

commenced in 2010/11 and it promised to be a good season as the

management duo assembled the best squad since the 2008 season.

However, despite some wonderful results, the team struggled to find

consistency, and finished a disappointing 13th in the table. There was better

news for the reserves who finished 4th in the reserve league, and reached

the final of the league cup, where they went down to double-winning side

Mole Valley SCR.

2011-2015 During the summer of 2011, Craig Moore decided to step down

to concentrate on playing, leaving John Comer as sole manager. He

promoted Kevin Bailey from the reserves to be his assistant and following

Dave Kelly’s resignation as reserve team manager appointed David

Robertson.

In May 2011 the old pitch was dug up and raised a metre, before being re-

seeded and in June the old clubhouse was demolished. The club moved into

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WESTFIELD FC the new facilities in August 2011 with a thrilling opening match in the FA

Cup against Peacehaven & Telscombe, in which the Sussex side eventually

ran out 6-3 winners, in front of a crowd of 190. The following month a new

record attendance for a league fixture at Woking Park was set when 325

witnessed the fixture against Guernsey.

The season saw another improvement on the pitch, where a position of 8th

was achieved and the team reached a cup final for the first time in nearly 20

years. However, they went down 4-2 to Warlingham on the day.

The following season the Club gained promotion in third place and played

Walton Casuals Reserves in the final of the Surrey Premier Cup, going down

2 goals to 1 in a close game.

In season 2013/14, with John Comer continuing as manager, the Club had

their best league finish since 1981, ending in fourth place.

With John Comer’s departure, Martin Beard was appointed for the 2014-15

season. After a run of indifferent results, Martin was replaced by Dan Snare,

who improved the side to finish mid-table.

2016 to date

For the 2016-17 season, Tony Reid was appointed manager, and enjoyed a

stunning season, finishing second in the League and winning the League Cup

in May. The following season the Club continued to play exciting, attacking

football, scoring an amazing 145 goals, whilst only conceding only 45, and

became deserved Champions with a fantastic 106 league points.

As the 2018-19 season began, we said farewell to the Combined Counties

League after 40 years of continuous competition and started an exciting

journey into Step 4 of non-league football. Having lost some key players

from the previous campaign, it took several months for Tony Reid to find a

settled side, but then after Christmas a wonderful run of 13 wins, 4 draws

and 4 defeats saw Westfield finish in fifth place, to gain a play-off place and

our highest-ever league finish. A close semi-final play-off defeat to Bracknell

Town did little to detract from a remarkable achievement, and the return of

most of the 2018-19 squad bodes well for another great season.
