The Chairman's Notes

Firstly, let me confirm that Ian Saunders and his management team left the Club after discussions with Ian on Tuesday. Recent results and a style of football that was not achieving our aspirations meant that changes were necessary if we were to progress next season. Hence the discussions that ended with the parting of the ways. We would like to thank Ian for his hard work and honest endeavour in trying to move club forward after a

difficult start that was not of his making.

Today we welcome Goadsby as our match sponsor. In particular GoadsbyCommercial who have offices in Winchester, Southampton andBournemouth. In Winchester Goadsby is a major commercial estate agentwhose offices sit alongside the residential operation at 45 Jewry Street.Goadsby Residential have offices in Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire. Weappreciate their generous sponsorship of this afternoon’s match andwelcome their team to the game.

We also welcome the players, fans, management and officials of BarnstapleTown here to the Denplan this afternoon. At our match on the 3rd December,the Citizens scored three first half goals through Green, Feeney andNeighbour before Barnstaple’s Jenkins got one back in the second half.

Next Saturday 1st April we are away to Paulton Rovers, whom Barnstapleplayed on Tuesday night.

Off the pitch, I am pleased to see that we have now raised £553, which is25% of our target of £2200, which is the cost of the repairs to the Dugoutburger bar roof. Thank you to all who have donated and if any more fanswhich to help on this one, then please go to the Winchester City page onJust Giving and thank you if you do. It has been our first introduction tocrowdfunding and hey, it’s worked!

Kind Regards

Paul Murray

Malcolm's thoughts

As at the time of writing our playoff hopes are virtually extinct it is worthlooking back on the season as a whole.

As things stand we will probably finish close to mid-table and hopefully in thetop half. After our slow start to the season we would have probably settledfor that, but after our excellent start to 2017 when we even had hopes of theplayoffs there is also a feeling of disappointment. Probably the best resultsin the league were the home wins against Salisbury and Evesham and theaway success at Swindon Supermarine.

We also enjoyed good runs in the F. A. Cup, F. A. Vase and HampshireSenior Cups with our 4-0 success in the first named being particularlymeritorious. A lot of people have worked hard behind the scenes to keepthis club functioning at this level and although the list is too long forindividuals to be mentioned I thank everyone for their efforts,

It also appears that the Commercial wing of the club has made contact withseveral companies, but one thing that I would like to see improved is thepublicity around the town. Whenever I visit the Winchester Town Centre, thelibrary or local pub I see no mention of the club and if I was new to the areaunless I read the local papers I would probably not know the football clubexisted. This is intended as an observation not a criticism, and I am not surein any case how much time I would have to rectify this.

However, with the city of Winchester having a thriving University, aprestigious college and a sizeable population I am sure that the club’s fanbase has the potential to grow.

At the away Yate match former players of the home club sponsored thematch and I think that things like this usually work well.

Other people might have different ideas, but I would like to say I have verymuch enjoyed the games I have seen this season. As things stand I am oncourse to have seen every home league match this season and probably notmany people can say that.

Malcolm's Welcome

We welcomed Barnstaple Town to Winchester for today’s league game. BarnstapleTown who were promoted from the Great Mills Western League last season are notto be confused with Barnstaple, who play in the North Devon League.

Despite the fact that this is the first ever meeting between the clubs I have in factseen Barnstaple Town play and that was an F. A. Cup tie at Eastleigh in the 2004/05season, although I have visited the town when on holiday in nearby Chittlehamptonmany years ago, with my only memory being passing the TV shop to see how thetest match was progressing.

The F. A. Cup match saw Eastleigh win 5-0 with the Beck brothers Martin andStewart and Danny Smith amongst the scorers. Martin was the manager at AlresfordTown last season, while Danny Smith captained Winchester’s F. A. Vase winningteam of 2004. At that game I jokingly said to Jane Beck mother of Martin andStewart that she helped make two of the goals that day. Jane’s husband Steve wasscout at Eastleigh for many years and has now joined Paul Doswell at Sutton United.It is funny to think after what has subsequently happened that this was onlyEastleigh’s second ever appearance in the 3rd qualifying round of the F. A. Cup, andon this occasion they lost to Tiverton Town in the next round, a club who alsocurrently play in our division.

Barnstaple Town were formed in 1904 as Pitton Yeo Vale and prior to the SecondWorld War were members of the North Devon and Devon and Exeter Leagues, bothof which they had previously won.

In 1948 they joined the Western League, a league they had remained in ever sinceprior to being promoted to the Southern League at the end of last season. Theyfinished champions of the top flight of Western League twice, in 1952/53 and1979/80 and finished runners up three times.

They have on three occasions finished champions of the second tier of WesternLeague football, the most recent being in 2015 so this is their second successivepromotion.

They have on four occasions reached the 1st round proper of the F. A. Cup, the mostrecent being in 1972/73 and have also reached both the 2nd round proper of the F.A. Trophy and the 4th round proper of the F. A. Vase, losing to eventual winnersArlesey Town in the latter instance. .

Amongst their former players are Lew Chatterley and John Hinton who also bothplayed for Southampton. Lew was also for six years Lawrie McMenemy’s right handman at The Dell, and also helped Alan Ball while Ball was manager at The Dell.

John Hore who made a total of almost 600 football league appearances representingboth Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City is amongst their former managers.

Salisbury 3 Winchester City 1

By Dave Malone

After 20 minutes, with the score 3-0 to Salisbury, it looked like a real thrashing wason the cards. Thankfully we reverted to a flat back four, condemning a hapless wingback formation, and suddenly the game was much more even. Sam Wilson reducedthe deficit, and had we not spurned a decent chance just before the break - whoknows what the outcome might have been.

The second half was much more controlled, although our hosts still had the majorityof the play. That said, our lads dug in and gave all they had - albeit pretty much in alost cause.

Obviously, to go into a game like this without Smith, Tomasso, Jenkinson, Taz,Matthews & King makes life a tad difficult - but in the end we at least salvaged somepride.

Finally, a word about the Salisbury supporters. It is to their credit that they stillsupport their twice defunct Club, and they turn out in their droves - which providesthe Club with a very large budget. We can only live in hope of one day we can attractsuch a following. That said - I have never heard such a bunch of moaning, groaningand negative supporters. They were never happy - and even when they were 3-0 upthey continued to berate every single decision the Referee made. I wonder what theyare like when they are losing!!!

A short history of Barnstable Town

The club was established in 1904 as Pilton Yeo Vale, and were founder members of the North Devon League in the same year. They played in the league's first match, hosting Ilfracombe on

1 October; the visitors won 4–2 with several hundred in attendance. However,that was to be the only defeat all season in the league and club went on to winthe inaugural league title. At the end of the season they adopted their currentname.

After winning a second North Devon league title in 1908–09, they switched to theExeter & District League, where they remained until World War I. After the warthey returned to the North Devon League, before rejoining the Exeter & DistrictLeague. They won the league title in 1946–47 and were runners-up the followingseason, before joining Division Two of the Western League in 1948.

In 1949–50 Barnstaple won Division Two, earning promotion to Division One. In1951–52 they reached the first round of the F.A. Cup for the first time, losing 5–2to Folkestone in a replay. The club were league champions in 1952–53, andreached the first round of the F.A. Cup again in 1954–55, losing 4–1 at home toBournemouth & Boscombe Athletic in front of a record crowd of 6,200. Theyreached the first round of the F.A. Cup for a third time in 1959–60, losing 4–0 atExeter City.

The league was reduced to a single division in 1960, and the club reached theF.A. Cup first round again in 1972–73, before losing 2–0 at home to Bilston. Theleague expanded back to two divisions in 1976, with Barnstaple placed in thePremier Division.] In 1979–80 they won their second Western League title, andfinished as runners-up in the following two seasons. After finishing second-frombottom in 1990–91, Barnstaple were relegated to Division One. Three seasonslater they won Division One, earning promotion back to the Premier Division.

They remained in the Premier Division until being relegated again at the end ofthe 2012–13 season, which saw them finish bottom of the Premier Division.However, they made an immediate return to the top division after winning DivisionOne in 2014–15. The following season saw the club finish as runners-up in thePremier Division, earning promotion to Division One South & West of theSouthern League.

This season will see Barnstaple Town play at the highest level in the club’shistory, with everyone at the club looking forward to new challenges with newgrounds to visit – the biggest step the club has taken since joining the WesternLeague in 1948.

Winchester City 0 Swidon Supermarine 2

By Malcolm Clarke

Winchester went into this match 11 points short of the playoffs with 9 games remaining. It was felt that if they could reduce this number to a single figure by closeof play, but their loss and victory for Evesham has increased the deficit to14 points and with it their hopes pretty well extinguished.

Swindon were still verymuch in the playoff mix themselves and

although Winchester had won 2-0 at Swindon on Guy Fawkes Day they never lookedlike repeating their success in this fixture.

Jamie Barron and Olly Searle returned to the side having been cup-tied on Tuesdayand Danny Smith was also available again and Nick Watts was also given a startingberth. Joe Briggs and Dan King were injured and Jack Hannam and I K Hill droppedto the bench.

Early on Andy Jenkinson had an effort deflected for a corner, but the visitors startedto gain a lot of possession and the Winchester defence had to make some importantblocks to keep them out. Lewis Noice in the home goal had to tip an effort from BradHooper over the bar, while at the other end Adam Roberts broke clear, but his effortwas just wide.

Swindon did take the lead in the 38th minute when Ryan Campbell's effort hit the barand Callum Parsons following up headed home.

Early in the second half Ryan Campbell had an effort deflected wide, but it was 2-0 inthe 54th minute when Adam Roberts fouled Joe Selman and Brad Hooper convertedthe resulting penalty.

The visitors were very much on top by now and Noice made good saves fromSelman, Campbell and Callum Parsons. Winchester who again missed theinfluential Stuart Green in addition to the other injured players struggled to get anymeaningful attacks going, although they bought on Sam Wilson as substitute. In the85th minute Adam Roberts set up Craig Feeney who forced a save from ConnorJohns and the home team did have one headed chance which went well off target,but in the end they were well beaten.

Yate Town 1 Winchester City 0

By Malcolm Clarke

Winchester suffered their fourth defeat in a row losing 1-0 to Yate Town.They are now 16 points away from 5th place with only 6 games to play and ifEvesham beat Swindon Supermarine on Wednesday, then the Hampshireclub will be mathematically out of the promotion equation.

Yate are in the lower half of the table, but in the two games againstWinchester they have defended solidly conceding only one goal in the twogames. Their chairman is Colin Pick whose company Picksons sponsor theclub and have the company name on their shirts. Previously Picksonsappeared in the names of former Hellenic League clubs Badminton Picksonsands Almondsbury Picksons.

Winchester made three changes to the starting line-up from Tuesday withJoe Briggs, Danny Smith and Adam Roberts coming in and Olly Searle, JackHannam and Joe Hayward all dropping to the bench,

The first half was fairly uneventful. Lewis Noice had to save a shot fromConnor Jones and a free kick from Mike Baker, while at the other endHarvey Rivers made a routine save from Jamie Barron and had to go fulllength to keep out an effort from Craig Feeney. However, most of theattacking movements were intercepted or blocked before a shot on goalcould be produced.

In the second half Rivers made an excellent save from Jamie Ford tippinghis effort over the bar, while at the other end Luke Bryan was onlyfractionally away from getting a decisive touch to a Steve Gilbert cross.

Yate took the lead midway through the half when a good run by fullback Mayson Evans on the overlap was touched in by Bryan at the far post.

Having gone a goal down Winchester began to dominate possession,although the visitors were defending with great determination. Rivers madeexcellent saves from Howard Neighbour and Stuart Green and Lewis Hidehad a couple of chances, but despite forcing several corners andtheir wingers providing an abundance of balls into the box they could not finda breakthrough even when the visitors were reduced to 10 men when havingused all three substitutes goalscorer Bryan limped off.

Yate invited several of their former players to this game, some of whom hadrepresented them in the Southern League Premier Division and it is notsurprising they chose Rivers as the man of the match for his goalkeepingheroics.

Good Luck to Suss, Amo and Jaimie

Dave Malone, our Director of Football, has made the following statement :

“Sus took over the role at a difficult time, and despite a very hard start to the season he took us close to a play off position by the end of January. However, since his enforced absence (due to his work commitments), our form has dipped - and recent results have been indifferent.

In considering how we take the Club forward, we concluded that a change this time may be beneficial - which will give us time to ensure we start ext season in a more positive manner than we did this term.

Sus has given the Club his full commitment since he arrived, and he has many attributes that will ensure he has a positive future. We thank himfor all his efforts.

We would also like to thank his support team of Amo and Jamie Cotton for their hard work during the season.”
