AVDFC vs Newport Pagnell - 9th Nov 2019

Matchday Programme

AVDFC vs Newport Pagnell Town Saturday 9th November 2019

Spartan South Midlands League Premier Division

Welcome to AVDFC Good afternoon everybody, an especially warm welcome to the officials, players and supporters from Newport Pagnell.

Following the disappointment of last weeks postponement we made the short trip to Chesham on Wednesday evening to face our old foe Aylesbury United in the B&B senior cup. Although we eventually ran out losing the tie there were a great many positives to take from the game, ot least seeing so many of our under 18 squad taking part in the game and performing so well against a club one step higher than us in the pyramid.

I’m sure many of you will of read about the appointment of the new manager and his staff. It has taken a bit longer than we hoped, but we got there in the end.

Enjoy your afternoon Steve

Dynamos HISTORY Aylesbury Vale Dynamos is an amalgamation of Aylesbury FC and Bedgrove Dynamos, two local clubs with a rich history in local football Aylesbury FC enjoyed a long history in senior and junior football dating back to the 1930’s under the previous names of Aylesbury Vale, Haywood United, Belgrave, Stocklake and Negretti and Zambra FC, which was founded in the 1930’s by workers at the Negretti and Zambra company then based in London’s King Cross district. The company moved to the Stocklake Industrial Estate, Aylesbury. in 1949 and by the mid 50’s the premises had a bar, football, cricket and tennis facilities. The football club joined the Aylesbury District League in 1954. The social club changed its name to Stocklake when Negretti and Zambra sold the premises to the local council, who then leased the facilities; hence the different sections adopted the name Stocklake. Under the guidance of Chairman Mr Ernie Crotty, the club gained many honours including runners up in ADL’s top divisions, before gaining intermediate status in the Wycombe and District League first and senior divisions. Sadly Ernie was killed in a road accident just before the club moved premises to the present location at Haywood Way in 1987.

After gaining senior status and promotion to the Chiltern League in 1988, Stocklake enjoyed many further successes including Division One runners up in 1991, Premier Division and League Cup runners up the following season and Wycombe Senior Cup success in 1995. Cup success was also followed on in the following season, this time the Berks and Bucks Intermediate Cup being added to the trophy cabinet. Belgrave FC was formed in 1983

by Jim Sullivan who lived in nearby Belgrave Road. Jim had two sons who were passionate about football but were limited to where they could play, so formed a team himself with the help of neighbours Lynne and David Hatcher. By 1990, under the guidance of Danny Martone, Belgrave had grown to five youth teams providing football for over ninety boys from the Quarrendon and Haydon Hill areas of Aylesbury. 1996 saw the forming of two senior teams under the Belgrave FC name and by the turn of the millennium teams were represented at all levels from Under 8’s through to seniors, At the start of the 2000/2001 season, the senior Belgrave FC team was renamed Haywood United following an amalgamation with Stocklake FC with Danny Martone voted in as chairman of the new club. Haywood United joined the Spartan South Midlands League and won promotion into Division One after two seasons. Notable achievements during the 2001/2002 season included league awards for the best kept and most improved ground; this included the erection of floodlights and perimeter fencing, which Danny and his hard working committee fought hard to establish. Season 2002/2003 saw a difficult start in Division One, but with the arrival of manager Jon Franklin and his assistant Keith Walker just after Christmas, the club eventually consolidated finishing in 9th place. Promotion was gained to the South Midlands Premier Division the following year after a campaign that saw 23 wins, 7 draws and only 4 losses. Haywood United proved themselves capable of staying in the Premier Division after finishing 3rd in the 2004/2005 season in a campaign that only include one loss in the twenty matches after Christmas. The club also entered the FA Cup and Vase for the first time and won the Buckingham Charity Cup in 2006.

Season 2006/2007 began with Haywood United becoming Aylesbury Vale FC and saw Keith Walker and Steve Gleinster take over as joint managers and steadily build a squad. This was recognised in the 2008/2009 season, under the management of Mark Eaton, with a good cup run in the FA Cup and FA Vase, winning three rounds in the FA Cup losing to Level 4 side Gosport after a replay, and losing out in the 4th round of the FA Vase to Leiston Town. . After Christmas the side suffered due to long term injuries and finished mid table. May 2009 saw a major new development in a new semi professional side vote for a name change. Aylesbury Football Club was formed under the leadership of Chairman Roger Dance and assisted by Vice Chairman Danny Martone

Dynamos HISTORY Former Chairman Bill Harrison was made President of the club. Great success on the field of play was to follow, with the team having a fantastic run in the F.A. Cup. We were the last 'level five' team in the country to remain in the competition and were rewarded with a visit to Haywood Way for the F.A. Cup trophy, allowing the team, supporters and local people to get their hands on this famous trophy and make the most of this memorable occasion. We were finally knocked out of the competition by Wealdstone in a close game. A brave and superb display was witnessed by a bumper crowd of 800 plus.

Meanwhile, away from the midst of F.A. Cup drama, our success continued, becoming 'Double Winners' Winning both the Spartan South Midland League and League Cup capping an extraordinary season and gaining promotion to the Southern League Division 1 Central. Steve Bateman took over in 2013/14, steered the club to safety in his first 6 months in charge. Then in 2014/15 with Bateman at the helm FC has their most successful season to date most successful to date. Playing at the highest level in the club’s history, the team finished third in the League, having been pushing for promotion all season and narrowly lost out in the semi final to Bedworth United having already beaten them twice in the league the 2015/16 finished with a flourish as the club finished just outside the play off positions, but had the consolation of our first major Cup Final, beating Chesham United in the Berks & Bucks Cup at Windsor. Steve Bateman and his management team resigned at the end of the season and Danny Gordon & Gareth Risbridger took the helm , supported by Paul Bonham , Ryan Wiffin & Aaron Norman. Davis Haule took over from Gordon & Risbridger in December 2016, appointed brother Brian as his assistant and recruited former coaches Fraser McLachlan, Aaron Wiffin and added Ryan Collings to his back room staff for the 2017/18 season.

In 2018/19 Scott Reynolds was appointed manager and when he resigned midway through the season it was left to Paul Bonham to take control but because of ground grading issues the Southern League made the decision to relegate the club and so after ten seasons in the Southern League the club will start the 2019 season in the South Midlands League after what has been a difficult and turbulent period.

Bedgrove Dynamos Alf Buckland, a resident of Finmere Crescent, formed Bedgrove Dynamos in 1968. It was created to fill a void in activities for boys within the Bedgrove area on the south side of Aylesbury. In 1980, Dave Bayliss became involved when he brought his Cub side to the Bedgrove Park. The teams amalgamated and Dave went on to be the chairman for 21 years, stepping down in the year 2000. Within two years and barely a full strip between them, they managed not only to win the Under 12's Aylesbury & District League (ADL), but went on to win the 13's & 14's league in consecutive years and, by which time, they now had four teams at various age groups.

Over the years the club has grown and has won many tournaments and trophies, especially at county level. Many teams have toured abroad and the club has also entertained boys from Europe and America. We can boost that we are the only boys club to have a club pennant on display in Barcelona's trophy room.

At the start of the season 2001/02 the club was the largest junior club in the Aylesbury area, running teams from under 8's through to under 18's. At the end of the season 2001/02 the club managed to win the coveted Berks and Bucks Cup at under 14's, the Mayor's Cup at under 12's, represented in two other cup finals, won 3 league titles, gained 6 promotions in total and all teams finished in the top 6 to the fairplay awards for their respective leagues. In the last 20 seasons across the age groups the club has won 25 divisional titles, and runners up 20 times.

In 2019 two became one when the sides amalgamated with the intention of allowing the youth of the town to progress through junior football to youth and then adult football and play at the highest possible level.

Last TIME OUT Vs Arlesey Town - League – Drew 3-3 With James Weatherill unavailable, Roy Byron and Jonny Montgomery still out injured and Lewis Strafford now confirmed as being out for the season, it was new keeper Mohamed Elmasry who started in goal and it has to be said he didn't cover himself in glory. The big keeper looked nervous and his handling and distribution left a lot to be desired, putting pressure on the Dynamos back line as they tried to protect the home goal.

On a filthy afternoon at Haywood Way, with the rain lashing around the stadium and a stiff breeze it was the away side that started the strongest and took the lead with a freak goal after just three minutes. Robbie Ponting took a long goal kick and with Elmasry hopelessly out of position the ball bounced straight over his head and into the back of the home goal for the lead.

Aylesbury though were coping with the conditions and trying to play the ball on the floor, Harry Scott was having a good gane down the right flank and first had a shot from the wide on the edge of the box which was easily saved and then soon after had a cross which was collected by Bruno Brito but his right foot shot was easily collected by Ponting.

Arlesey were two up after fourteen minutes and this looked like it was going to be a long afternoon for Aylesbury, a good run into the channel by Charlie Moss and his pass across the box was fumbled again by Mohamed Elmasry straight into the path of James Hatch who scored easily at the far post. Players from both sides continued to struggle for the rest of the half as the pitch became wetter and wetter and keeping their feet became a real issue.

Half Time AVDFC 0 Arlesey Town 2 Straight from the re start Arlesey could have been three up, Moss went on a but Dan Wilson made an inch perfect tackle inside the box to divert the ball away to safety. The home side were starting to dominate and had a couple of chances to get back into the game, a ball in from the left from Elliott Amadieu found Harry Dalton but his shot on the turn was blocked. Then another ball in from Harry Scott fell to Alfi Touceda but his shot was deflected over for a corner.

Aylesbury got a goal back on the hour when a floated corner wasn't cleared by Arlesey and the ball was nodded home by Elliott Amadieu. One minute later though and the away side had restored their two goal lead, a corner into the six yard box found an unmarked James Hatch who had the sinmple task of heading home.

The home side whoul have got another back soon after when some sublime skill from Bruno Brito confounded the defender his cross found Amadieu but somehow the striker missed when it looked easier to score. The goal did come though on seventy three minutes when a free kick in from Harry Scott eventually fell to Dan Wilson at the back post and he poked home from close range.

It was now all Aylesbury as the Dynamos pushed for a deserved equaliser and it came with just ten minutes left on the clock, good interplay down the right betwen Lewis Merridan and Scott ended with a cross which was met by Harry Dalton who fired home at the far post. That was the last of the action as the ref blew the final whistle. The team showed great character to come back from two goals down twice in the game, in very testing conditions. Could have and should perhaps have won in the end.

Newport Pagnell FC - History Newport Pagnell Town Football Club was founded in 1963, initially as Newport Pagnell Wanderers, playing on Bury Field Common. In 1964 they entered the North Bucks League and won Division 3 in their first season. Soon after that they won the Division 2 and Division 1 titles in consecutive years.

In the 1971-72 season the Wanderers joined the South Midlands League, playing at the Youth Club in Wolverton Road.

In 1972 the club moved to the new facilities at the Willen Road Sports Ground and changed its name to Newport Pagnell Town.

In the 1973-74 season Newport Pagnell Town joined Division 2 of the United Counties League. Two years later they were promoted to Division 1. They won the Division 1 Championship in 1981-82 and were promoted to the Premier Division.

A few ups and downs followed during the next two decades: relegated in 1985-86, promoted back to the Premier Division in 1991-92, and then relegated again in 1996-97.

The club won the Division 1 Championship again in 2001-02 and has been in the Premier Division ever since.

In 2009-10 and again in 2010-11 the club won the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy.

The best FA Cup achievement was reaching the Second Qualifying Round in 2008-09.

In the 2016-17 season the club reached the last 8 of the FA Vase before losing to a strong South Shields team (the eventual winners of the competition) in front of more than 3000 spectators on Tyneside. In recognition of this achievement the club was presented with a Town Award by Newport Pagnell Town Council, and in the Milton Keynes Sports Achiever of the Year 2017 awards Newport Pagnell Town Football Club’s first team received the Team of the Year award.

A further award in 2017 was a Berks & Bucks FA award to the club chairman, Steve Handley, for his contribution to grassroots football. n 2017-18 the club finished third in the UCL Premier Division, missing out on promotion by just three points. A good season for the youth section included winning the Berks & Bucks Under 15 county cup and also a very encouraging season for the club's first girls team, the Under 12 Swans.

From small beginnings in 1963, Newport Pagnell Town has become the highest placed non-league club in the Milton Keynes area, and is a FA Charter Standard Community Club, with a youth section of around 30 teams in addition to its senior first and reserve teams and a successful Sunday team.
