CHAIRMANS WELCOME Good afternoon and welcome to today’s game against our visitors Borrowash Victoria and may I extend a warm welcome to the players, officials and spectators of Borrowash Victoria and hope that we all enjoy a good match.
I am sure the team will want to return to winning ways following the midweek defeat at Aylestone Park and I anticipate the game being a close affair as in previous seasons.
With no game for the first team last Saturday it was the turn of the reserves to kick off their season against Ibstock United. As a past goalkeeper I have to say the turning point for me in the game was when Jack Veitch made a great save to his left to keep us 2-1 ahead and we eventually controlled the game and ran out 4-1 winners. However, the whole team played their part and it should give them a lot of confidence going into a tough season ahead. The team and squad that Marc has built to play for the reserves is a mix of experienced and youth players and that is really pleasing to see as this is the ideal platform for those players that want the opportunity to play first team football. It was also great to see a good crowd watching the reserves so thank you for your support.
Don’t forget that this Bank Holiday Monday sees us play away at Stapenhill so be sure to make the short trip to support the team.
There are also 2 events happening in September which you may want put in your diary, Saturday the 9th Sept sees us play in the FA VASE at Home and Sunday 10th Sept sees the first year of the Fishers-Dewes Company Cup take place at the ground. This is a 5-a-side competition in aid of a Charity for Cardiac awareness in Young adults. See inside the programme for more details.
All that remains is to wish the players good luck for the game and to thank you for your continued support it really is appreciated.
Stuart Bonser Club Chairman

YOUTH TEAM UPDATE With the season opener just over a week away we’ll soon be able to reflect on the things we need to do better next summer to improve our pre-season preparations. The good news is we now have enough players to fulfil the ambitious task of fielding 2 mid-week teams (it’s been hard work getting to this point) and further to this both teams have gone through pre-season unbeaten! (it would have been extremely difficult not to). We also welcome new additions to the coaching team these being Steve and Sam Gee who have made the switch from Gresley. So now we get to relax and look forward to the football. It would be great to see faces old and new at the NFU this season supporting the next generation of club legends. I’m sure (in the main) you will be thoroughly entertained by some scintillating football (hopefully ours), I know the players would really appreciate the support. All that’s left to say is good look to both teams for the season ahead. Ian Stewart Youth Team Manager

THE PRESIDENT’S VIEW Last Saturday, I went to watch a Saxon tribute band (no really) at a place called MFN (Middle of F**kin Nowhere, no really again) in Nottingham. What’s that got to do with AIFC I hear you cry? Well the club was run by Malcolm Allured of Showaddywaddy fame, & many will remember him locally running The Travellers Rest & Jimmy Dean’s nightclubs. Now thinking back those two clubs had a lot to answer for & were responsible for many a Sunday morning cry offs & generally shambolic sites meeting on The Green at 9.30am on freezing mornings in your Saturday night “going out clobber”. However I did recall one triumphant occasion where we brought back a trophy to Jimmy Deans on a Wednesday Night in April 2003 It was a League Cup Final played up The Butthole (stop sniggering at the back) in Shepshed against Birstall Stamford who were recognised as the best Sunday side in the country for a few years winning national titles etc. So when our brave boys were 1-0 down at half time surely we had no chance, those cocky Birstall boys certainly thought so. WRONG, inspired by some half time inspiration from the dynamic management duo of Kenny Horn & Stan Ward plus I believe some Churchillian intervention from Dan Dowling & Kevin Allsop we came out flying into the 2nd half. Kev Allsop produced one of the great Ivanhoe displays to smash in a hat trick from a combined yardage of 100 yards + at 2-2 we had all come down from the stands & were on the touchline & when he got the winner he says he looked over to a row of Kwik Fit Fitters (google it) going ballistic. From then on there was some heroic defending & all of the lads that played that night I am sure will never forget it. Inevitably off we trooped to Jimmy Deans night club, abandoning cars on the way, special dispensation for track suits that night & the whole squad ended up on the stage with the cup. Fantastic & that’s why we get into local football, I have listed the team below & many of those guys are still involved with the club as coaches or supporters 14 years on. T Hartwell, P Stretton, D Dowling, D Foster, C Savidge, R Debney, L Birchnall, C Boylin, J Collins, G Eivors, K Allsop, Subs All Used J Bullock, D Adey, G Nettel Managers K Horn & G Ward David Morris Club President

IN OPPOSITION TODAY BORROWASH VICTORIA Borrowash Victoria AFC was founded in the summer of 1911. Like many clubs of the time Borrowash did not start with a blaze of glory. Popular belief is that the only illumination for the inaugural meeting was the gas-lights of Elm Street. However this wasn’t to put the fledgling members off. They secured a pitch, Coffee Joe’s Field, and changing facilities. Though opposing teams must have wondered at the mile and a half walk between the two. From this modest start the club enjoyed a challenging future. Two World Wars halted play, but on each occasion the club reformed once peace returned. Off-field challenges saw the club disband and reform on three occasions. Despite all of this the will of the locals to have a football team represent their village remained unchecked. Maybe that is what makes the club motto so relevant ‘Palma non sine pulvere” – ‘No Victory without effort’. The present club commenced in 1963 when a group led by Tony Beardsley tired of the restrictions of the youth league. With the support of Albert Anderton and Neville Hardy the new team started playing in the depths of Section E of the Derby Welfare League. The new team was christened, Borrowash Victoria Amateur Football Club, or simply “The Vics” to the locals. Only three years later, and following early successes in both league and cup, the popularity of the club led to the creation of a reserve team. One major difference back then was that the teams didn’t have a manager and it was not until January 1968 that the first manager was appointed, one Mr Arnold Grace. He led the team to promotion in his opening season and developed the team’s standing tremendously until he left the club in 1968 due to ill health. Arnold did not however retire from The Vics entirely and returned as chairman in 1975. It is that type of devotion to the club that frequently marks the history of The Vics. Several names reappear as you look through the archives; players’ who hung up their boots only to stay on with the club in another capacity. No doubt it was that spirit that encouraged ex-international Alan Hinton to sign for the club in 1977, an event that saw the TV cameras at a Vics game for the first and only time. Incidentally, Alan was spotted by the cameras at the end of the game taking the nets down. I doubt any of us will see such a turn of events again. The modern era of sponsorship finally reached Borrowash in time for the 1977/78 season, Mr P Siddall a local building contractor. In exchange for bearing Siddall’s name on the shirts, Mr Siddall provided funds and a concrete floor in the equipment hut. The 1977/78 season also provided the club’s first major championship, the East Midlands Regional League Premier Division. However things looked dicey at the end of the 1980/81 season with a mass of resignations from the committee. As always The Vics pulled through and a face from today made his entrance to the stage. Ian Anderson turned from playing staff to president (and sponsor). The most challenging episode in the recent history of the club also happened under Ian’s reign. In 1983 the club were threatened with expulsion from the league due to settlement of a drain below the pitch making

IN OPPOSITION TODAY it unplayable. In those circumstances many a club has folded but The Vics rolled up their sleeves, repaired the pitch for the remainder of the season before moving to their new and current home, The Bowl. Trials and tribulations about the pitch however continued; none worse than when the landlord (the local leisure centre) allowed it to be used for horse riding during the County Show! This however did not prevent the highlight of the club’s history from occurring in the 1985/86 season. To mark the official opening of the changing rooms and floodlights, Brian Clough brought a full strength Nottingham Forest squad to The Bowl. The evening set new records including the highest ever attendance, an estimated two thousand supporters packing the banks. Unfortunately Borrowash Victoria cannot be graced by such crowds every week but a hardy one hundred supporters come along, whatever the weather. Clearly the club still holds a special place in the village community. On the field, The Vics joined the East Midlands Counties League as founder members for the 2008/09 season. This proved to be the first of many near-misses with promotion, with the side finishing second just three points adrift. 2010/11 was even closer, two points this time. 2011/12 second again but seven points adrift of a very good Heanor Town side. Last season saw several significant changes on and off the field. Ian Anderson stood down as Chair after over 30 years’ service; he does however remain on the committee. His successor is Frazer Watson and he has brought some new faces onto the committee and these changes have continued this season. At the end of the 2012/13 season Ian Collins, affectionately known as “Chunky” in footballing circles decided to part ways with the club and move on to pastures new. Long serving committee member John Bishop eventually moved with Chunky to Gresley FC. John Robinson, local resident and committee member took on the reins as secretary of the club under the football leadership of Kev Bunting. This move also reunited the Kellogg family with the club with Thom and brother Sam rejoining the club as player/assistant manager and player respectively. Two weeks into the season Kev sadly resigned due to personal issues, and like their farther Neil, the two brothers took charge of the first team. The 2013/14 season had ups and downs, with the club deducted three points for fielding an ineligible player, ultimately this had no effect on the promotion standings due to a loss of form at the tail end of the season. The high points of the season undoubtedly came in cup competitions, notably beating Belper Town and Chesterfield in the Derbyshire Senior Cup, only to succumb to a 6-0 defeat in the semi final to Glossop North End. Later in the season, due to Sam becoming a father once again he decided that he wished to take a back seat, and Thom enlisted the help of Dick Pratley for the end of the season, a move that was to become permanent for the 2014/15 season, along with the capture of Lee Barrow, with over 170 games experience in the Football league. Borrowash Victoria now has a successful junior setup with teams from Under 18’s down to Under 9’s. Last season those junior teams collected three major trophies and numerous other awards. It is from this young crop that the next generation of Vics will appear, following the example of former junior players who are now regular members of the senior squad.

ASHBY IVANHOE FC CLUB HISTORY
8
F
Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club was founded in 1948 and play their home matches at the NFU Sports Ground, Lower Packington Road, Ashby de la O 4 UN 19 Zouch in Leicestershire. This is the clubs new home from the beginning of the DED 2012/2013 season. Since being founded in 1948 up until the end of the 2011/2012 season the clubs previous home was at Hood Park also in Ashby de la Zouch.
The club currently consists of three adult teams and a youth team. The first team play in the East Midlands Counties League, with the Reserves in the Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division. In the 2008/2009 season the club formed a Youth Team (Under 18’s) side who play in the Leicestershire Midweek Floodlit Youth League on Wednesday nights. A Sunday team was re-introduced for this season and they play in the Burton Sunday League Division Four. The club also has a large number of junior sides ranging from Under 7’s through to Under 18’s who play in the Burton Junior Football League, Tamworth Junior Football League and the Derby City League. The junior section came after the club merged with the David Hunt Soccer School at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season. In February 2004, Ashby Ivanhoe became an FA Charter Standard football club. The club is very ambitious and has plans to progress further up the league pyramid system. The club is run by an experienced management team and enjoys the support of some very prestigious commercial partners. Ashby Ivanhoe had one of their most successful seasons in 2010/2011 as they completed a league and cup double by winning the Leicestershire Senior League by nine points and also lifted the Coalville Charity Cup for the very first time after producing a superb second half comeback to beat Bardon Hill 3-2 in the final. They have also reached successive Leicestershire Senior Cup finals in 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 but had to settle for runners-up on both occasions losing 3-1, firstly to Ibstock United and then Aylestone Park. The 2013/2014 season saw the first team achieve a long-term ambition as they won promotion into the Step 6 East Midlands Counties League for the 2014/2015 season after finishing third place in the Leicestershire Senior League. It was a close title race with the top three all finishing level on points with Ashby third on goal difference. The Reserves were also promoted to the Leicestershire Senior League Division One. 2014/2015 saw Ashby compete at Step 6 of the non-league pyramid for the first time and they had a very good season and secured a top six finish in the East Midlands Counties League which featured victories against all of the sides above them. The Reserve side were involved in a tight title race and it went down to a last day decider against Lutterworth Athletic Reserves but despite the result going against them on the day they were still promoted for the second season in succession and would play at Step 7 in the Leicestershire Senior League Premier Division for 2015/2016.

ASHBY IVANHOE FC CLUB HISTORY 2015/2016 saw Ashby have another fine season and they mounted a strong title challenge and they led the East Midlands Counties League for the majority of the season before finally finishing in third place. That saw them assured of a first ever appearance in the FA Cup for the 2016/2017 season. Last season was the most memorable in the history of Ashby Ivanhoe Football Club. For the very first time in the clubs history they were accepted to play in the most famous club competition in the world, The FA Cup. It turned into a thrilling journey with higher ranked opponents of Quorn and Loughborough Dynamo knocked out before Ashby fell to Ilkeston in the 1st Qualifying Round. Prior to the Ilkeston defeat Ashby received a visit from the FA Cup which was paraded through the town centre visiting local sponsors before players and spectators had the opportunity to view the cup at the NFU Sports Ground. The league season was inconsistent with a strong finish to the season seeing the team finish in tenth place. The season did end with a first appearance in the final of the Jenkins & Jenkins League Cup but Dunkirk overturned a one goal deficit late on to see Ashby end as runners-up. The new season sees a new management team at the helm of the club with Glyn Andrews and Craig Picknell joining the club from Friar Lane & Epworth with the aim of achieving promotion to Step 5.
