CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME
DAVID MORRIS CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME
Good afternoon and welcome to The NFU for today’s game against Hinckley AFC, we welcome their players, officials and supporters (of which I’m sure there will be quite a few) and hope they enjoy their visit to Ashby de la Zouch.

Well it’s been another busy week at the club with loads going on as usual. Last Saturday was non-stop, we had 5 junior games here as well as record attendance at the Soccer School, then the FA Vase game in the afternoon where I thought we were comfortable victors over Rocester to reach The First Round proper. If you haven’t heard we have been drawn away to Newark and Sherwood United (seems a bit harsh to be playing 2 teams ?) who are currently 3rd in Step 5 UCL Premier Division North, so should be a tough fixture but at our best I think we can do it ! Date is Saturday 22nd October and we will be running a bus for the team with places for supporters too, so details once finalised will be on the socials, away days are always good fun so hope you can get over and support the lads ! The Knights had a thumping 7-0 victory last weekend and if they can win today with others not playing they can go top of the league, they are at home next Saturday.
On Monday we erected some new signage around the ground which I hope you agree looks great & smartens the place up no end, these were supplied very competitively by one of our new sponsors Qualiprint Ltd introduced to us by a club member. This just shows that with the support of sponsors and people around the club we can all work together to improve the facilities here and continue to move the club forward, if you can help, let us know.
Also last week, we refurbished the clubhouse bar with new pumps and new beers. Due to public demand we have introduced Madri and would you believe we did a barrel in the first 24 hours (I blame Scriv & Emmo, hic !) we also now have Atlantic Pale Ale which has also gone down very well, so pop in and try one before or after the game ! Tuesday we were away at Wolverhampton Sporting Community and having taken an early lead we were then pegged back and heading for a defeat when Will Groocock grabbed us a 95th minute equalizer. We are at home next Tuesday against Coventry Copsewood and only a short trip to Coton Green next Saturday (can we avenge our recent 0-4 defeat, I do hope so) .
Right then I think that’s it as always follow, latest news on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, please “like and share” as much of our content as you can, it increases our reach and if it puts an extra 5 people through the gate due to increased awareness then that really makes a difference. Good luck to Andy and the boys today and thank you all for your support. COME ON IVANHOE !
