ood afternoon and welcome to this final Pitching In Southern League Division One Central home game of the season against Berkhamsted. A warm welcome to the players, officials and fans of the Comrades. We wish you a pleasant afternoon and a safe journey home. Thank you too to John Newman for sponsoring today's match. As I write this, the title race is still alive – although by Monday it might already be done and dusted. Bedford are five points ahead of today's opponents, with three games to play (excluding Bedford's abandoned game against Kidlington, the status of which remains unclear). Last Saturday both teams scored injury time goals against play-off challengers to keep the chase alive – Berkhamsted coming back from 2-0 to draw 3-3 with Ware, and Bedford to beat Welwyn Garden City 2-1. The Comrades are unbeaten in 10 games, with
their last defeat coming at the hands of the Eagles at the end of January. As today is the final home game of the season, we have a final collection for this season's charity partner, the Cancer Care & Haematology Fund. Please give generously for this excellent cause. You can also vote for your Supporters' Player of the Season. Look for Andy Martin who'll be handing out voting slips. The winner will be announced at our end-of-season presentation evening, which will take place at Rivets Sports and Social Club in Aylesbury on Friday 27 May There's just one match to go this season, next Saturday against Bedford Town. The Eagles are expecting a bumper crowd, so are recommending you purchase your ticket in advance.

The history of Aylesbury United A
ylesbury United were founded in 1897 when three local sides: Night School FC, The Printing Works and Aylesbury Town decided to merge. The club, affectionately known as ‘the Ducks’ due to the famous Aylesbury breed, have experienced some incredible highs over their long 124-year history but now battle for existence without a home ground to call their own. In the early years United played in local leagues before joining the Spartan League in 1908 where they remained until the Second World War. 1951 saw the Ducks gain their first taste of national publicity as they became the only club from the Delphian League ever to reach the First Round Proper of the FA Cup, eventually losing to Third Division side Watford. Southern League and success Aylesbury turned semiprofessional in 1976 and joined the Southern League, a move which got the ball rolling on the club’s most successful period. A number of events followed which were to help: In 1983 the club appointed Trevor Gould as manager, and then a year later a young local lad called Cliff Hercules made his debut, unaware that he was to become the most successful player in the club’s history. ‘Hercy’ was, and still

is, an Aylesbury icon, and some 20-years later he finally hung up his boots having smashed the club records with 669 appearances and scoring 301 goals. Promotion to the Southern Premier was soon achieved and shortly afterwards the Ducks moved to their new Buckingham Road stadium. This gave the town a new impetus and Gould’s talented squad secured the Southern League Championship in 1987-88 and gained promotion to the GM Vauxhall Conference. United then hit the headlines again, becoming the only non-league side ever to take on the full England team, as more than 6000 packed into Buckingham Road to see the Ducks take on the Three Lions. Unfortunately United’s brush with the non-league elite only lasted one season, after which the club were relegated to the Isthmian League. Fame and the FA Cup During the period between 1985 and 1992, Aylesbury boasted the best FA Cup record of any side outside the Football League, reaching at least the First Round Proper every season. The highlights being a victory over then Division Four leaders Southend United, a narrow extra time replay defeat against Northampton Town,

and being shown live across Europe against Walsall. Ironically though it wasn’t Gould, the club’s most successful manager, who led the Ducks to their greatest FA Cup achievement, it was his successor Steve Ketteridge in 1994-95. Once again the club became media celebrities as the ‘Duck Walk’ goal celebration was shown around the world, as Aylesbury went on to reach the Third Round where they lost to Premiership side Queen’s Park Rangers at Loftus Road. Ketteridge delivered the Isthmian League Cup title to Aylesbury, but it was to be the beginning of a rollercoaster ride for the club. After almost going out of business, the Ducks were pipped to the Isthmian League title by Sutton United a year later, despite heading the table for long periods. The following season saw United back in administration and fighting for survival both on and off the pitch. Despite defeating Football League side Reading in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup, for the second time in four seasons, the club was relegated to Division One for the first time in their history. In October 2000, the legendary Hercules took time out from his duties as the club’s Community Development Officer to manage the Ducks, and in his brief spell in charge he secured promotion back to

the Isthmian Premier Division and extended the club’s proud FA Cup record with a First Round trip to Port Vale. 2002-03 saw Aylesbury returned to national prominence twice. First the club was privileged to play a major part in an England get together as the Buckingham Road facilities were used by Sven Goran Eriksson for a media conference and by the squad for a training session. Second the club made their first ever appearance in the FA Trophy semi-finals, where the Ducks were beaten by eventual winners Burscough. For various reasons the club then began to cycle through a string of managers at an average of two a season – namely Chris Boothe, Kevin Wilson, Paul Curtis, Danny Nicholls, Jon Franklin, Tony Thompson and Mark Eaton. But nothing was to match the low point of summer 2006. Former chairman Bill Carroll failed in his plans to convert the Buckingham Road pitch to a 3G artificial surface – what he described as his ‘last ditch’ idea for creating a viable football club, when the Southern League and FA baulked at his ideas.

time Aylesbury have been forced to play their ‘home’ matches some 20 miles out of Aylesbury whilst the committee work hard keeping the club alive. The campaign to ‘Bring the Ducks Home’ has generated plenty of publicity, but so far, sadly, nothing concrete in terms of a new home for the club. On the pitch the club continued to do remarkably well, going close to the playoff positions in the Midlands Division for the next three seasons but a new challenge arose last summer when the then manager defected, taking almost the entire playing squad with him. This led to another tumultuous season which saw Martin Stone initially appointed as manager, but due to personal reasons he had to renege on his appointment less than two weeks before the first game of the season. His assistant, Byron Walton, briefly stepped

into the mantle and did a sterling job in assembling a competitive team in such a short space of time. He moved on and former United defender Tony Joyce became the club’s new permanent manager. Unfortunately Joyce was unable to prevent the club’s slide – which had seen them amass just one league win by October – and the club were relegated to the Spartan South Midlands League. However, Joyce built a new and strong squad which finished sixth in the league in 2010-11. Rebuilding for the future Season 2011-12 saw further progression in the league with the Ducks eventually finishing fourth after a strong run of results at the tail end of the season. There was disappointment, however, with the team out of all cup competitions by mid November.

The 2012-13 season saw the club competing for the title, being in the top four for the entire season. Finally finishing second to Dunstable Town, gaining promotion to the Southern League courtesy of the FA’s restructuring of the feeder leagues and the additional promotion places that created. The season was capped by securing the Spartan League Premier Division Cup, beating Hadley 3-2 after extra time. The Ducks’ first season back in the Southern league saw them achieve a creditable 12th place finish in a strong division. Other highlights from the season was a much better FA Cup run and notable victories against Southern Premier League opponents Hemel Hempstead, Chesham and Burnham in the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup and The Red Insure Cup. The 2014-15 season saw the club finish in 13th place but made the final of the Berks and Bucks Senior Cup for the first time in 10 years, losing 4-0 to Maidenhead United from the Vanarama Conference South. After a disappointing start to the 2015-16 season, Tony Joyce tendered his resignation after six years at the club and was replaced by Glyn Creaser who had been coach under Tony. In Glyn’s first full season in charge, he led the club to the semi-final of the Southern League Cup, before losing at Premier Division St Ives. He also guided the team to 13th position in the table. After two seasons ground sharing at the ASM Stadium in Thame, a decision was made to return to The Meadow, the home of Chesham United for

the 2017-18 season. After a disappointing start to the league campaign, manager Glyn Creaser was relieved of his responsibilities following a 6-1 home defeat against Cambridge City in December 2017, with the team lying second from the bottom of the table. His assistant Ben Williams was appointed caretaker manager in his place, before being appointed in a full time capacity in January. Williams steadied the ship successfully, integrating a number of new young players and developing a great team spirit, which saw the Ducks rise to 13th in the league, winning nine of their last 13 matches. 2019-20 began in promising fashion, with the Ducks unbeaten in the first nine league games, and winning ties in both the FA Cup and FA Trophy. Despite a slight dip in form, the Ducks remained in the play-offs before the season was curtailed early and voided due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. The 2020-21 season suffered the same fate as the previous campaign, abandoned after just two months of action. But that was still long enough for the Ducks to suffer heartbreak in the FA Cup, losing a penalty shoot-out to Moneyfields (in a game that had already seen four penalties) – before bouncing back to win on penalties against Tilbury in the FA Trophy. But with the majority of the squad that finished the season signing on again – along with a few shrewd acquisitions – hopes are high to pick up where the team left off.

Duck walk to Dunstable A tremendous result on and off the pitch as sponsored walk boosts donations to the Cancer Care & Haematology Fund
M
ore than £2,000 has been raised by supporters for the club’s charity partner, the Cancer Care & Haematology Fund, following a sponsored walk to an away game. A group of 10 hardy Ducks – Allan Brace, Andrew Dell, Stuart Andrews, David Horne, Paul Gardner, Lee Cotton, Mark Rickard, Rich Lloyd, Graham Read, and Andy Martin – braved the inclement weather on 30 October, setting off at 7.45am from Buckingham Road in Aylesbury to walk 25 kilometres to Creasey Park in Dunstable – the home ground of the Ducks’ opponents on Saturday afternoon AFC Dunstable. They reached Dunstable in sunnier conditions in just
over five hours, rewarded by their hosts with a hot meal and drinks. The walkers’ were then treated to a fabulous performance from the team, who beat then-second-placed AFC Dunstable 2-1 with two goals from Max Hercules. In addition to raising money for the CCHF, which supports the work of the Cancer Care and Haematology Unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, the walk also aimed to draw attention to the fact it is 15 years since the club played
its home games in Aylesbury and the continued efforts to #BringTheDucksHome. Andy Martin, director at Aylesbury United, and chair of supporters’ trust 21st Century Ducks, said: “The generosity of Ducks fans is truly astonishing, and we’re over the moon to be able to raise so much for such a worthy local cause. The amount raised shows that even though the first team has played outside the town for 15 years, we’re a club that remains at the heart of the community.” Richard Lloyd, leader of Aylesbury Town Council and one of the walkers, said: “The show of generosity from fans and the support for this walk makes me ever more determined to deliver the new facilities that Aylesbury desperately needs, and we will continue working towards a Community Stadium for the town”. www.peoplesfundraising. com/donation/cchf-andaylesbury-united

he club was formed in 2009 and appointed experienced manager Micky Vipond who had been successful with Leverstock Green, Tring Athletic and Hemel Hempstead Town (where he had a long playing career). The club won the Molten Spartan South Midlands League Division 2 title in its first season, losing only once each at home and away. Winning division 2 by 9 points led to promotion to division 1. The team were again champions in 2010-11, this time by 15 points and were unbeaten at home in the league. This earned a second successive promotion and movement up to the Premier division, where the club stayed for 6 years. The total of 107 points was the highest in the season for any club in the non-league pyramid, prompting the Herts. FA to award the club the prestigious Sir Stanley Rous Memorial Trophy. It is named after a former local referee and administrator who rose all the way from West Herts. football to the top job at FIFA. The team won promotion to the Southern League under Steve Bateman by finishing as Premier division runners up in 2018. The club were leading the division when it was abandoned due to a pandemic and the next season was curtailed much earlier. Being deprived of conventional promotion, the joint management team of Steve Bateman and Lee Bircham chose to move up two divisions by taking over the hot seat at Hemel Hempstead Town and took a couple of players with them. The club made its FA Cup debut in 2011 with an away win over Crawley Green, followed
by a trip to Clarence Park, but the game with St Albans City was goalless, then exiting at Broadwater in the replay. In 2012 they played 5 FA Cup matches but went out to Metropolitan Police in the 2nd qualifying round of the FA Cup, having knocked out Hoddesdon Town (after a replay), Hadley and Uxbridge. 2013 brought home wins over AFC Dunstable and Harefield United, but defeat at Daventry Town. In 2014 Ashford Town eliminated the club in the first match and in 2015 the Comrades won against Hanworth Villa but went out to Barton Rovers. In 2016 Berko went out to Cogenhoe United before the league season had started. In 2017 they overcame Crawley Green but went out 4-1 at home to Slough Town in front of 366 fans-the best yet at home. 2018 saw wins at Tring Athletic and Thame United but defeat to Coggeshall Town in a home replay-we meet them again in this season’s competition. 2019 produced a win at Wembley (Vale Farm!) followed by a narrow controversial defeat at step 3 St Ives Town. Last season we lost at Cribbs, near Bristol. This season we got revenge over Coggeshall Town but again went down to a step 5 side Walthamstow. The 2018 debut in the FA Trophy brought a 5-1 win over South Park but defeat at Chipstead. 2019 produced a 5-0 win at home to Herne Bay but defeat at step 3 side Hornchurch 3-1. Last season we knocked out Chertsey Town but went out to Marlow in what proved to be our final game before the season was abandoned due to
the pandemic. 2020 brought wins at Barton Rovers and Northwood but defeat at Cheshunt, who reached the last 16 of the Trophy. In 2016 Berkhamsted reached the last 16 of the FA Vase, going out 2-1 at home to the eventual winners Morpeth Town. They got there with six wins, earning the club the Houghton Regis Trophy. The club has twice reached the quarter final of the Southern League Cup, the first time was in 2019, going out 1-0 after a long midweek trip to Lowestoft Town. The second was in 2022 when an injury time goal meant another 1-0 defeat, this time at home to Swindon Supermarine. Berko have reached many ore local cup finals. The 2019 Herts. Charity Cup final with Hemel Hempstead was not played due to the virus, with the sides being declared joint winners. The previous season Berko won the St Marys Cup with a 1-0 win over Oxhey Jets but lost the Herts. Charity Shield final 1-0 to Colney Heath. The previous year they lost the St Marys Cup final to Leverstock Green. In 2016 they beat Tring Athletic 3-2 in the Herts. Charity Shield final. They won their first cup in 2013 by also beating Tring
Athletic at home in the St Marys Cup final. In 2015 they landed the Premier Division Cup, beating Colney Heath after a penalty shoot-out in the final. 2014/15 featured their best run in the Herts. Senior Cup when they beat three fellow SSMFL Premier division sides before going out in the semi- final 2-1 at home to National South side Hemel Hempstead Town. The club nickname is the Comrades, after Berkhamsted Comrades which was the name of the football club formed in the town by servicemen returning from the First World War 100 years ago. It later changed its name to Berkhamsted Town, but that club folded for financial reasons in early 2009. The club also runs a midweek side for under 18s in the Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League. On Sundays the under 16s and under 15s compete in the Eastern Junior Alliance.
