WELCOME FROM THE CHAIRMAN Good afternoon, and welcome to all to this North West Counties First Division North game against Nelson. Today's game is a quick turnaround from our fine 4-1 victory away at Little Wembley only last week. I truly hope that we can get a result today, more so to end my potential jinx mode as I missed the last two away victories due to a holiday.. By all accounts we were outstanding against today's visitors and we were unlucky not to have kept a clean sheet.
PHOTO BY JOHN MCKIERNAN For me now when I look at the squad it really is amongst, and if not, the very best that I have seen in my time at Town, and huge credit for that needs to go to Dave and his management team. Besides the first team we also have our fairly newly recruited Ladies section doing extremely well. In their division they come up against the likes of Tranmere Rovers and Accrington Stanley, and have recently beaten both which speak hugely about where the team is at. Onwards and upwards as always, Mark - Club Chairman 3

MATCH REPORT V AFC DARWEN 1/12/18 The first half produced 6 goals in 35 minutes, 7 in total by the final whistle, and that's 23 in the last 4 games ... Last Saturdays game was unfortunately lost in a crazy first 15 minutes that seen us go behind by 2 goals, both scored by the impressive Nathan Pond, who went on to score a first half hat trick. Town got back in the game through great work from Dylan Glass who set up Jason Carey, then Carey himself slotting in a penalty, and then Matty Johnson getting a touch that flicked over the Darwen keeper. The second half didn't bring as much entertainment as in goals, but certainly did within the 45 minutes. The game livened up and got heated at times, and Town had some great chances, Luke Edwards forcing a great save from the Darwen keeper, and Dylan Glass hitting the post. What was the winning goal came from a great counter attack with Daniel Taylor heading home, following great work from their left winger. It was just not to be, and we ended the game with 10 men following a second yellow for Alex Noonan, and Town keeper Tom Goodwin even attempting an overhead kick to level the game. 5

CHRISTIANITY There has been a long history of the involvement of Christianity and association football. In 16th-century England, Puritan Christians opposed the contemporary forms of football, due to its violence and its practice on Sunday, the Sabbath day of rest. However from the 19th century, Christians espousing the movement of "Muscular Christianity" encouraged the game for its physical and social benefits. Several of England's leading clubs, including Everton, Manchester City and Southampton, were founded by churches, as was Celtic in Scotland. There have also been leagues set up specifically for Christian clubs outside of the normal national league pyramid, one such local example being the Merseyside Christian League, which runs to this day and is affiliated to Liverpool County FA. Following the adoption of the Sheffield rules and formation of The Football Association in England, a number of football clubs were founded by churches. Everton Football Club were founded in 1879 at St. Domingo's Methodist Church. Founder the Reverend Ben Chambers was an advocate of Muscular Christianity, encouraging healthy minds and healthy bodies. Their Goodison Park ground has a church partially within the perimeter and as such do not play early matches on Sunday to avoid clashing with the services of the church. In the same year, Fulham St Andrew's Church Sunday School F.C., to later become Fulham F.C., was founded by members of the nearby Church of England church for members of the Sunday school with the same focus as Everton of advocating Muscular Christianity. In November 1880, St. Mark's Anglican Church in West Gorton, inspired by the same ideology and to win young men back to the church, set up a football team which later became Manchester City F.C. St. Mary's Church, Southampton set up a team in 1885, which later became Southampton Football Club. On 6 November 1887, the Celtic Football Club was founded at the Catholic St. Mary's Church Hall in Calton as a way to fight poverty in East Glasgow. Their Glasgow neighbours Rangers F.C. later became associated with the Protestant section of Glasgow which led to the Old Firm rivalry, which has been the centre of several sectarian incidents between Scotland's Protestants and Catholics. London-based Arsenal F.C. moved to Arsenal Stadium in 1913 on ground leased from St John's College of Divinity. The lease conditions stated that there would be no matches played on holy days and no "intoxicating liquour" would be sold at the stadium. However these stipulations were dropped after Arsenal bought the ground outright in 1925. In Northern Ireland, Christianity plays a strong part of life in football. Until 2008, playing football was banned on Sunday, including the Northern Ireland national football team due to Sabbatarianism of the Protestant majority. Belfast club Linfield F.C. currently maintains a ban on the club playing on Sundays. 12

Y IN FOOTBALL Several football clubs in the present day have Christian names or nicknames often associated with them. Scottish football clubs St Johnstone F.C. and St Mirren F.C. are named after Saint John the Baptist and Saint Mirin respectively. Welsh team The New Saints F.C. were contemporarily named as such due to an association with Saint Oswald as well as being able to retain their TNS initials after their Total Network Solutions sponsorship name lapsed. Several clubs also have Christian messages publicly displayed at their grounds. Between 1995 and 2010, Northern Irish club Glentoran F.C. had a sign with "Jesus" on it at The Oval before it was removed due to Glentoran needing the space for advertising. Fellow Northern Irish club Portadown F.C. had a sign with "Life without Jesus makes no sense" along the side of Shamrock Park. Football clubs have also used their grounds for Christian services including Rangers using Ibrox Stadium for memorial services for the 1971 Ibrox disaster and likewise Liverpool F.C. using Anfield for the annual memorial services for victims of the Hillsborough disaster. Ashton Town‟s direct link to Football & Christianity comes via our previous first team physio, Andy Monks. Andy is currently working as a Missionary in Africa having recently published his own book, titled “Faith Like A football Club”. The book gives details on all the roles within a football club and discusses topics relating to them which any sports performer will face: sharing Andy‟s own experiences from working in football at a variety of levels. Ashton Town and particularly our club chairman, Mark Hayes, feature specifically within the book under the section relating particularly to the role of Club Chairman. Andy is quoted as saying, “Being a Christian in the sporting world can be tough, but God calls us to bear witness and „go and make disciples of all nations‟. Faith like a Football Club aims to disciple and encourage footballers and sports performers to play in a way that best honours Jesus and point towards the cross”. All proceeds from the purchases of Andy‟s book will go towards REVS FC, a football ministry in Africa aiming to disciple young people and set them free from alcohol abuse, drug abuse and prostitution.

HALLMARK SECURITY Four ties involving five of our clubs in the Buildbase FA Vase 3rd Round, coupled with games across all three divisions, offered another fascinating bill of fare at the weekend. Northwich Victoria reached the last 32 of the Buildbase FA Vase with a 3-0 win over Silsden in the only tie that matched two of our teams together. First half goals from Brandon Barski and Andrew Fitzgerald, and a late penalty from Joel Brownhill wrapped up the win for Vics, who are the only team from our league guaranteed a place in the next round. Irlam will also be in Monday's draw but their tie against Winterton Rangers was abandoned due to floodlight failure, with a replay date set to be arranged for next week. Our other two representatives went out of the competition, with late goals in both cases proving to be decisive. Two goals in the last eight minutes saw Avro lose 2-0 at home to West Auckland Town, and there was an even more dramatic finish up in the North East, with Runcorn Town eventually going down 5-4 to Newcastle Benfield. Town were 4-2 down with seven minutes remaining when two goals in as many minutes from Craig Lindfield and Danny Byrnes brought them level at 4-4, but Benfield struck a winner in stoppage to clinch a last gasp win. There were four games in the Premier Division, and City of Liverpool extended their lead at the top to six points over Congleton Town after a 1-1 draw at home to 1874 Northwich. Craig Cairns gave the home side a half time lead, but Scott McGowan levelled for the Greens a minute after the restart. There was an important win at the other end of the table for Winsford United, whose 3-0 win over bottom club Abbey Hey at the St Luke's Barton Stadium moved them nine points clear of the drop zone. William Foster, David Short and Rhys Saunders were on target for the Blues. The other two games ended in 2-1 wins for the visiting sides, and at the LSP first half goals from Riccardo Egidi and James Boyd set Squires Gate on the way to victory over Litherland REMYCA. Meanwhile at Potteries Park there was a dramatic finish as Donald Eumessi's second goal of the game, in the 90th minute, earned Burscough the points against Hanley Town. The First Division North is still headed by Longridge Town, who moved six points clear of Carlisle City in second place thanks to a 6-3 win at Cleator Moor Celtic. 14

WEEKEND ROUND UP A hat trick from Jason Hart was the highlight of the win, and the day was rounded off for Town when they learned that their nearest challengers Carlisle City had been held to a 2-2 draw at home to Nelson. Prestwich Heys continued their good goalscoring form with a 6-0 home win over Holker Old Boys, a result that moved them in to joint third place alongside Avro. Adam Farrell and Lee Grimshaw both grabbed doubles for Heys. Anthony Lyons scored twice in AFC Liverpool's 3-1 win at Atherton LR that moved the Reds into 6th place and kept LR at the bottom of the table, and a first half hat trick from Elliott Pond set AFC Darwen on the way to a 4-3 win at Ashton Town. Chadderton came from behind to win 4-2 at home to Garstang, a result that moved them further away from the relegation zone, and Daisy Hill are just above the drop zone on goal difference after going down 2-1 at home to Bacup Borough. The other two games in the division ended all square, with St Helens Town sharing a 2-2 draw with Shelley, and Steeton being held to 1-1 draw at home to Lower Breck. Although First Division South leaders Abbey Hulton United had no game, they remain at the top of the table, although their lead has been narrowed to two points, after victories for both Rylands and Wythenshawe Town. Jay White struck a hat trick in Rylands' 7-0 win over Ellesmere Rangers, and Lee Gregory, Brad Byrne, Steven Yarwood and Benjamin Steer all hit the back of the net at Alsager Town in Wythenshawe Town's 4-1 win at Wood Park. Jack Tomlinson's hat trick helped Stone Old Alleynians to a 4-1 win over Cammell Laird 1907, and they are now ahead of Wythenshawe Amateurs on goal difference in fourth place, after the Ammies went down 3-2 at home to Cheadle Town. Sandbach United's recent good fork deserted them as they went down 3-1 at home to FC Oswestry Town, a result that meant Vauxhall Motors leapfrogged over them in the table, thanks to a 4-1 home win over New Mills. Eccleshall also hit the back of the net four times, winning 4-2 against Maine Road at Pershall Park, and Callum Dolan's goal proved to be decisive in Stockport Town's 2-1 win in their derby clash against Cheadle Heath Nomads. 15

WHO'S PLAYED AT Daniel John Higginbotham was born on 29th December 1978 in Manchester. Higginbotham started his career at his local club Manchester United and he made seven appearances at Old Trafford, winning the Intercontinental Cup, as well as having a loan spell with Belgian side Royal Antwerp before joining Derby County in order to play more matches. He spent three years at Derby but handed in a transfer request when the club was relegated from the Premier League. Southampton signed Higginbotham for a ÂŁ1.5 million fee in February 2003, and he helped them reach the 2003 FA Cup Final. When Southampton were relegated in 2005, Higginbotham rejected a new contract and was placed on the transfer list. He joined fellow Championship side Stoke City for a ÂŁ225,000 fee in August 2006. He was made captain when Michael Duberry left in January 2007 and Stoke went on to narrowly miss out on a play-off place. With Stoke not being promoted Higginbotham again decided to hand in a transfer request to help force through a move to Sunderland. He spent one season at the Stadium of Light before returning to Stoke in 2008. He became a vital member of Tony Pulis' squad as Stoke established themselves in the Premier League. He scored the winning goal in the FA Cup quarter-final against West Ham United but missed out on both the semi-final and the final due to a knee injury. After his recovery he struggled to force his way back into the side and spent time out on loan to Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town before joining Sheffield United on a free transfer in January 2013. 16

T EDGE GREEN ST? After eight months at Bramall Lane, he left to join Conference Premier side Chester before ending his career with a short spell at Altrincham. Higginbotham made his international debut for the Gibraltar national team in a friendly against Slovakia in November 2013 at the age of 34, qualifying through his maternal
grandmother. In January 2014, Higginbotham retired from club football after a 14-year career, but made two more international appearances for Gibraltar until his international retirement in March 2014. Higginbotham made his one and only appearance here at Edge Green Street on the 12th March 2017, appearing for the Kevin Davies Select XI that beat the Great Britain Olympic Deaf Football Team 3-2 in the fundraising game to assist the GB deaf team to take part in the Deaf Olympics later that year in Turkey.

HISTORY OF ASHTON TOWN AFC Ashton Town Association Football Club originally joined the Div 2 of the Lancashire Combination in 1903 and were promoted Div 1 in 1st season. However, relegated back to Div 2 after finishing 16 in first season of Div 1. Towards the end of 1910/11 season club withdrew from league and fixtures taken over by Tyldesley Albion. The Club was reformed in 1953 as Makerfield Mill FC and after a short spell in the Wigan Sunday School League, they played in the St Helens Combination League for three years before joining the Warrington and District Amateur League in 1958. The founder was a persistant man named Derek „Mick‟ Mycock. In 1962 the Club was forced to move from its original ground at Windsor Road because of land development and it was at this point the Club name was changed to Ashton Town AFC. Home games were played on a public park pitch at Whithill Street Recreation Ground in Bryn until 1964, at which point the Club purchased a piece of land at Edge Green Street, previously the home of Stubshaw Cross Rovers. This became the Club`s new home, and development of the ground began. In 1969 the Clubhouse was completed, and was opened by Liverpool and England star Roger Hunt, and in 1975 the present dressing room facilities were built. During this period the Club joined the Lancashire Combination in 1971, and then in 1978, they left to join the Cheshire County League for four years. The formation of the North West Counties Football League 1982 saw Ashton Town join as founder members, and the Club has remained in the league since then with the exception of season 1985-86, when they played in the Manchester League while essential ground maintenance work was carried out to bring the ground up to stringent ground grading requirements for the NWCF League. Throughout the years there have been many custodians of the club, owned by no-one, powered by volunteers. I‟ll surely miss out a host of names here but….Notable is the involvement of Jack Longstaffe, Pat Dooney, Barry & Sandra Longstaffe, Gordon Ellis,, Les Bailey, Len Riley, Malcolm Magrath, Billy Pomfrett and Jimmy Cahill. The latter two who have clocked up over a hundred years service to Town and are still here on a daily basis. In more recent times, Clare and James Horner made a massive boost to the club with the long overdue formation of a Junior section. As did the arrival of our current Chairman, Mark Hayes, who has helped build the profile of the club both locally and nationally. Other volunteers to mention are Steve, Stefan, Denise, Peter, Clare and more recently, Keith (Kitman/Physio) whose dedication and workrate is second to none on quite often a day to day basis. It would go amiss if I didn‟t mention at this point Brian Cunliffe, who has on and off, over the years worked behind the scenes painting, digging or mending often without the right resources for the job…..it‟s people like this who really make a place what it is. So Many to mention, others to forget, but we are here and that wouldn‟t exist if it weren‟t for those who give up their time and effort to keep the club alive. Our motto „Onwards & Upwards‟ sums us up as we now strive for promotion. 20

EARLY HISTORY OF NELSON FC Think of a club that was the first English side to beat Real Madrid away from home. A side that also won away at Old Trafford in the same season. A side that has obtained positive results against six current Barclays Premiership clubs in league games (Manchester United, Crystal Palace, Hull City, Fulham, Southampton and Stoke City). A side that played in the Football League for ten seasons and has played competitive games against 34 current sides in the top four divisions. A side that has played many FA Cup ties in the competition proper with a record home attendance of over 14,000. All this, and more, has been achieved by „The History Boys‟ of Nelson FC, also known as „The Admirals‟. The origins of Nelson FC can be reputedly traced to a group of townspeople who in 1881, on witnessing a local football match between Burnley and Blackburn, were inspired to form their own team. However, it wasn‟t until 1889-90 that they competed in a senior competition, joining the Lancashire League upon its formation. The Blues started well, with a series of top six finishes, and claimed the title in great style in 1895/96, winning 22 of their 30 games and scoring 105 goals. However in 1898-99 the original club was disbanded. Just a few months after their demise, Nelson were reformed and accepted into the North East Lancashire League, later joining the Central League. When football resumed after the First World War, Nelson embarked upon the most remarkable adventure of their history. In 1921 the thirteen non-reserve teams of the Central League were voted into the Football League`s newly formed Third Division North. The first league match, on August 27th 1921, brought a record attendance at Seedhill of 9,000. The next season, 1922-23, saw the Blues lead a close race for much of the season, and five wins in a row during April saw them romp away to the title. One team was promoted from each of the Third Division North and South of the Football League at that time, and it meant Nelson were entering a nationwide league for the very first time. On the back of their title triumph, and in preparation for life in Division Two, Nelson took the remarkable step of an overseas tour to Spain, in May 1923. They performed with some success, winning two of their four games - a 2-1 success against Real Oviedo and a 4-2 victory at Real Madrid. Unfortunately Nelson`s time in Division Two was to be short-lived, lasting just the one season in which they finished second-bottom of the table. It was clear early on that they were struggling both on and off the pitch, but they achieved some remarkable feats on the way. They had a home victory over champions-elect Leeds United, one of only nine league defeats for the Yorkshire side. And their first away victory came at Manchester United. Few non-league clubs can claim to have won away at both Real Madrid and Manchester United! A return to Division Three North brought a drop in attendances, though big games saw new records established, such as 13,500 for the visit of table-topping Darlington. That first season back in the third tier of the Football League saw a second-place finish to the North-Eastern side, hence no promotion, and was to be the last time the Blues seriously threatened a return to the national stage.it twice in 1949/50 and 1951/52. In those three seasons of 42 league games apiece, Nelson scored 125, 120 and 139 goals respectively. 21

OUR CHOSEN CHARITY The Joseph’s Goal charity was set up in October 2012, by Paul and Emma Kendrick, to raise funds for research into NKH, (Nonketotic Hyperglycinemia), the life-limiting genetic condition that their son, Joseph, was born with. NKH is caused by an excess of glycine on the brain. Joseph was given five days to live but reached his ninth birthday in May this year. He is severely disabled and suffers from seizures. But he is resilient and is a fighter, and we, in turn, are fighting to find better treatments and, hopefully, a cure for NKH, which is very rare, with only fifteen children still surviving in the UK, and less than five hundred worldwide. Joseph’s Goal is a Wigan-based charity, run by a small group of family and friends, who all volunteer their services. No-one is paid. We have received support from Wigan Council, Wigan Warriors and Wigan Athletic, as well as schools, local organisations and the business community. In four years we have raised over £340,000, largely from charity balls, football matches, bike rides, marathons and 10-Ks, swimathons, spinathons, Xmas jumper days, numerous other fundraising events, and hundreds of donations from generous people. The funds raised have been sent to Dr Johan Van Hove at Colorado University, Denver, USA, and Professor Nick Greene at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health in London. Both have presented their research findings to NKH families at conferences in the North West organised by Joseph‟s Goal, and trustees of Joseph‟s Goal have twice attended NKH conferences at Harvard University in Boston, USA. The many varied defective genes that have been found in different children/families in the brain that causes NKH have been identified, and the task now is to find a route to replace it with a healthy gene. There is, at last, some light at the end of a very dark tunnel, with real grounds for optimism that better treatments for NKH are not far away. Since Joseph‟s Goal began, Joe has become a little celebrity locally: - in 2013, he was the mascot for Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup Final and was carried out onto the pitch at Wembley by the captain, Emmerson Boyce, which resulted in television appearances on BBC NW, Granada, and Sky News; - in 2013, Joseph‟s family were the WISHFM „Local Heroes Family of the Year‟; - in 2014, Joseph switched on the Xmas Lights in Wigan Town Centre; - in 2014, Joseph‟s Goal was recognised by Wigan Council as contributing to the „Believe in Wigan” campaign; - and in 2016, Joseph‟s Goal was a Finalist in the GM Chamber of Commerce Wigan Business Awards. If you are looking for a charity to support, then please consider our charity, and help Joseph to achieve his Goal. 22
