Talk of the Town A Warm Welcome to The Park Stadium Good afternoon and welcome to The Park Stadium for this home league encounter with Enfield Borough.

An extended warm welcome to the management, players and officials of Enfield Borough, as well as to today’s match officials.

The fortnight break ended with an away North Beds Charity Cup match at Bedford FC. Last season Ampthill Town were the beaten finalists against Biggleswade FC.

This is the first home match of the year so a Happy New Year to all.

This match ended in defeat as the Amps exited their final cup competition of the season at the quarter final stage, losing to the McMullen Park side 3-0.

Whilst this is the first home match of the year, there has already been plenty of football played by the Amps in 2020.

Ampthill Town is saddened to report the news that 2 local football people have passed away in the last week.

The next match after we last played here was an away game at Stotfold’s Roker Park back on the 28th December. Town were beaten 5-1 with the only Ampthill goal of the match coming courtesy of Ed Skinner. This was the Amps last visit to Roker Park as Stotfold are moving to their New Roker stadium at the start of February.

St Panteleimon player Thiago Goncalves was killed in a car accident close to his home on the A40 whilst on his way to a match. Thiago played for the Saints in the 4-1 win at the Park Stadium earlier this season. As a mark of respect and to allow everyone to gather their thoughts the St Panteleimon match against Winslow United today has been postponed.

The first match of 2020 saw Ampthill share 6 goals with high-flying MK Robins. The Robins came into that match on a 9 match winning streak so getting a draw at Manor Fields was a good result. Michael Moss scoring a brace and Michael Fullerton coming off the bench to add his name to the score sheet.

A League Challenge Trophy tie away to higher level Potton United followed on the Tuesday.

The tie was level at 1-1 after 90 minutes but the Premier Division side won 3-1 on penalties. The Ampthill goal scored in normal time by Danny Butler. That result meant that Ampthill remained in just the one cup competition before a mid-season break, caused by fixture scheduling.

Rob Teppett who had represented St Margaretsbury in many different roles also passed away earlier this week. He was held in high regard by all who knew him.

Ampthill Town sends their condolences to both players family, friends and all who had the pleasure to know them. May they rest in peace.

As a mark of respect to both men their will be a minutes silence before today’s match.

As always, your support is greatly appreciated, and here’s to you leaving The Park Stadium having been fully entertained.

Enjoy the match.

Up the Amps!

Amps On The Road...

Away Day Match Reports 28th December 2019 League Stotfold 5

Ampthill Town 1 With Stotfold’s ground move expected to happen before the Amps play Stotfold away again this is likely to be last ever match played at Roker Park between these 2 sides and the Amps will want to forget about it as soon as possible.

Stotfold’s Kieran Barnes and Owen Robertson both scored a brace with Robbie Buchanan adding the other. The Ampthill goal was scored by Ed Skinner, with Lewis Cerminara getting booked.

Saturday 4th January 2020 League Milton Keynes 3 Ampthill Town 3 The Amps started 2020 with a 6 goal draw with near neighbours Milton Keynes Robins.

The hosts came into the encounter on the back of a 9 match winning streak, that included both league

and cup victories. Ampthill’s form going into this match was less impressive with no league win in the previous 4 matches.

As everyone knows too well in the Spartan South Midlands League form counts for very little and it is all about application on the day that matters.

The teams were level at 2-2 going into half time with both teams

adding an extra goal each in the second half.

Ampthill’s goals were scored by Michael Moss, who hit a brace and Michael Fullerton who came off the bench to score.

The hosts goal scorers were George Shrieves, Mason Spence (who also missed a penalty) and Vincent Shrieves (who saw the only caution of the match too).

Around the Club...

Latest Club news

A couple of pieces of good news to share from around the club.

Firstly, congratulations to First Team Assistant Manager Lee Hawkes (pictured right) who has completed his UEFA B License.

Also congratulations to Ampthill Town U18’s who have reached the final of the League Cup. The report that follows is from their manager Paul Hankey about their semi-final match.

Ampthill U18 v Woburn and Wavendon U18 The 2 teams had met just the week before in a hard fought end to end match that ended 3-3. It was uncertain if the match would be played due to the heavy rain but late Friday the pitch inspection declared it fit to play.

Both teams fancied their chances of progressing into the final. Woburn took an early lead and Dimbleby quickly equalised lifting the ball over the keeper, assisted

by O’Donnell. Dimbleby came off injured and was replaced by Doherty who found himself on the score sheet twice, his first due to his hard work and high press and the second a tap in at the far post after a great assist from Bateson. Ampthill were 3-1 up but as half time approached Woburn scored again just on half time. 3-2.

Second half Woburn came out strong and determined and equalised early on.

The game became a battle with Woburn having the better chances. Ampthill made changes bringing O’Donnell back on. He started to create chances going forward and played the ball through to Harmer-Hankey who calmly slotted it past an advancing keeper. 4-3. Woburn tried to get back into the game and in doing so left themselves open to attack. Bateson played the ball up to Doherty who went around the keeper for his 3rd of the day. 5-3. Final score.

Lots of good individual performances and a great team performance.

Well done to captain Callum Wright who again led by example.

Man of the match joe Doherty.

Thanks to chairman Gary for making the pitch available.

Ampthill U18’s now face Crawley Green in the final.

Enfield Borough FC was formed in 2016 by Marvin Walker and Aaron Archer.

Our mission is to create a safe, positive and supportive environment for young people; particularly those who may be disengaged, lack social mobility or at risk of engaging in criminal activity.

In many instances, young people from lower social economic backgrounds are misunderstood and can find it difficult to integrate within the traditional culture at many clubs, consequently missing out on the opportunity to fully nurture and develop their talent.

Here at Enfield Borough FC, we believe that being part of a football team can give young people much needed structure and consistency that is often missing in their lives. It can allow young people to feel part of a community, increase their self -esteem and enable them to create positive outcomes for themselves, with the support of dedicated adults they can trust and more importantly, relate to.

Through football training and matches, the club aims to develop the personal, social and emotional skills within the young people, such as discipline, teamwork, leadership and communication, as well as improving their overall health and fitness.

Our vision is to give young people a sense of belonging and identity by creating a club and community that they are proud to represent and motivated to achieve success for.

We are committed to earning continued progression throughout the leagues and to facilitating the ongoing career development of talented players.

In our first season we finished third place in Spartan South Midlands Division Two which gained us promotion to Division One. This season Mani Asare, who previously managed Amersham Town has joined Shaun Reece as Joint manager.

Very competitive rates

Development Corner Latest News from The Dev Ampthill Town Development look to be back on track after a slight blip in late December 2019. Back to back defeats have been followed up with back to back wins, and this momentum will be extremely important with a cup semi final on the horizon.

The players know that if they want to be involved in the cup semi-final at home to Henlow then they need to perform over the next few weeks. An away trip to near neighbours Flitwick Town Reserves today is followed by a visit from high flying Cranfield United Reserves.

With 2 clean sheets in the past 2 matches, keeping it tight at the back will be key to victory today.

Ampthill Town Football Club The History Pages Ampthill Town Football Club dates back to the 1880’s, with reliable league records available from the 1950’s.

The club joined the South Midlands League at the start of the 1951/52 season; winning this league in 1959/60 (losing only two league matches all season) and were then runners-up in the following season.

The Amps finished bottom of the South Midlands Premier Division in the 1964/65 season and started the following season in the United Counties League Division Two.

This prolonged stay ended at the end of the 1986/87 season when the club finished bottom of the league, winning just one match all season and finishing on a dreary 4 points (when it was 2 points for a win) and were relegated to UCL Div One. The club re-joined South Midlands League in Division One for the 1991/92 season. Then again as part of the reorganisation in 1993/94 Ampthill Town joined the newly formed Senior Division.

In 1997/98 the Amps were founder members of the Spartan South A few mid-table finishes followed and Midlands League Senior Division, but this season ended with relegation to at the end of the 1968/69 season, Division One with 16 points from 30 after a sixth place finish they were matches. promoted to UCL Division One. In 1972 the United Counties Division One was renamed the United Counties Premier Division. From the mid-seventies to the mid-eighties the club remained in the UCL Premier Division.

They bounced straight back and were promoted as runners-up, then followed this up with a runners-up place in the Senior Division at the end of the 1999/2000 season.

In 2001 the Senior Division was renamed Division One and this is where the club remained until 2011/12, when they finished runners up and were promoted to the Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division. A fifth-place finish was followed by collecting the runners up medals in 2013/14. The club went from finishing second, to finishing second bottom and were relegated to SSML Division One. Finishing fourteenth for 3 consecutive seasons. That run was ended last season (2018/19) with a tenth-place finish.

early part of the 2018/19 season soon dissipated as results improved immediately. In the closing couple of months of the campaign Town won seven of their last nine league games with their only defeats coming at champions Harefield United and Buckingham Athletic. Among their wins was an incredible 11-0 win over Broxbourne Borough with Jamie Cerminara scoring five and Brandon Carney four, including a second half hat-trick. Ampthill also made it to the North Beds Charity cup final where they lost to Biggleswade FC.

Ampthill’s best FA Vase performance With 4 promotion places up for grabs to date is a quarter final appearance at the end of this season there will be in 2013/14 when losing to Eastbourne United Association. In the even greater emphasis on pushing same competition in 2017 they won onwards, as the club makes no 10-0 at New College Swindon. The secrets of their desire to be back club have made several appearances playing in the Premier Division. in the FA Cup too, where the best Paul Blackman was appointed progress made is to the 1st qualifying manager in February 2019 and the round on 4 occasions. disappointment experienced in the

The 133rd AGM of The International Football Association Board (The IFAB) held in Aberdeen, Scotland on 2 March 2019 approved a number of amendments to, and clarifications of, the Laws of the Game for 2019/20.

Three changes were approved following 2 years of worldwide experiments; •

The introduction of yellow and red cards for misconduct by team officials.

•

A player being substituted leaving the field at the nearest point on the boundary line.

•

A goal kick and a free kick for the defending team in their own penalty area, the ball is in play as soon the kick is taken (it can be played before it leaves the penalty area).

Other changes include: 

Clearer wording for ‘handball’.



Attacking team players must be at least 1m away from a defensive ‘wall’.



The goalkeeper only has to have one foot on the goal line at a penalty kick.



New dropped ball procedure.

Substitutes – Law 3 A player who is being substituted must leave by the nearest point on the touchline/goal line.

So players will now have to think twice about how they exit the pitch and, not only that, they must also make their way straight to the technical area or dressing room after being subbed, or risk being sanctioned for unsporting behaviour.

Dropped Ball – Law 8 & 9 If play is stopped inside the penalty area, the ball will be dropped for the goalkeeper. If play is stopped outside the penalty area, the ball will be dropped for one player of the team that last touched the ball at the point of the last touch.

In all cases, all the other players (of both teams) must be at least 4m (4.5yds) away.

If the ball touches the referee (or another match official) and goes into the goal, team possession changes or a promising attack starts, a dropped ball is awarded.

Handball – Law 12 Deliberate handball remains an offence.

The following ‘handball’ situations, even if accidental, will be a free kick: 1. the ball goes into the goal after touching an attacking player’s hand/arm 2. a player gains control/possession of the ball after it has touches their hand/arm and then scores, or creates a goal-scoring opportunity 3. the ball touches a player’s hand/arm which has made their body unnaturally bigger 4. the ball touches a player’s hand/arm when it is above their shoulder (unless the player has deliberately played the ball which then touches their hand/arm)

Penalty Kick – Law 14 The team’s penalty taker can have (quick) treatment/assessment and then take the kick.

The goalkeeper must not be touching the goalposts/crossbar/nets; they must not be moving.

The goalkeeper must have at least part of one foot on/in line with the goal line when the kick is taken; cannot stand behind the line.

Goalkeepers are not permitted to stand in front of or behind the line. As the kicker can ‘stutter’ in the run, it is reasonable that the goalkeeper can take one step in anticipation of the kick.

Team Officials – Law 5 A team official guilty of misconduct will be shown a YC (caution) or RC (sending-off); if the offender cannot be identified, the senior coach who is in the technical area at the time will receive the YC/RC. Goal Kick – Law 16

The ball is in play once the kick is taken; it can be played before leaving the penalty area.

Opponents must remain outside the penalty area until the ball is in play.

Goal Celebrations – Law 12 A Yellow Card for an ‘illegal’ celebration (e.g. removing the shirt) remains even if the goal is disallowed.

Kick-Off – Law 8 The team that wins the toss can now choose to take the kick-off or which goal to attack (previously they only had the choice of which goal to attack) Medical Breaks – Law 7

Difference between ‘cooling’ breaks (90 secs – 3 mins) and ‘drinks’ breaks (max 1 min).

In the interests of player safety, competition rules may allow, in certain weather conditions (e.g. high humidity and temperatures), ‘cooling’ breaks (from ninety seconds to three minutes) to allow the body’s temperature to fall; they are different from ‘drinks’ breaks (maximum one minute) which are for rehydration.

Players’ Equipment – Law 4 Multi-coloured/patterned undershirts are allowed if they are the same as the sleeve of the main shirt.

Quick Free Kick and YC/RC – Law 12 If the referee is about to issue a YC/RC but the non-offending team takes the free kick quickly and creates a goal-scoring opportunity, the referee can delay the YC/RC until the next stoppage if the offending team was not distracted by the referee.

Temporary Dismissals In addition to these law changes, the 2019/20 season will see the introduction of sin bins (formally named temporary dismissals) from step 5 (Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division level) down. These are explained in more detail on the next page.
