IN CHARGE:

PAUL ABRAHAMS GOOD AFTERNOON AND WELCOME TO THE FINAL HOME GAME OF THE 2021/22 SEASON. I EXTEND A WARM WELCOME TO STUART, THE STAFF, PLAYERS, FANS AND OFFICIALS WHO HAVE MADE THE JOURNEY DOWN FROM FELIXSTOWE AND WISH YOU A SAFE TRIP HOME AFTER THE GAME.

After a long and positive run of results, the last two games haven’t gone the way that we wanted, which has left our hopes of reaching the play-offs this season looking very slim. We now need to win our final two games, whilst Felixstowe and Grays both need to lose both of their games - but we do have to play both of them, starting with Felixstowe today and Grays on the final day of the regular season. If results go our way, then who knows, football is a funny game at times! This season has been one full of highs and lows, but the performances as a whole since the turn of the year have been impressive and will give us a platform to build upon for next season, whatever the end result is for the current campaign. The support that the team have received throughout the entire season has been tremendous and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. I hope you’ve enjoyed the season and I know everyone at the club looks forward to welcoming you back to Park Drive next season. Enjoy your summer. Abes

SATURDAY 9TH APRIL | THE PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE NORTH | ATT: 233 Maldon & Tiptree’s seven-game unbeaten run ground to a halt nine days ago when AFC Sudbury ran out 3-0 winners at Park Drive. The Jammers saw their best chance of the opening half fall to Malachi Napa who, having rounded the goalkeeper, was unable to find the target from a tight angle. With the game goalless at the break, the visitors made the breakthrough just seven minutes into the second half, with Joshua STOKES driving forward through the Maldon half before calmly slotting the ball home into the corner. One became two shortly afterwards, when fullback Marley ANDREWS capped off a fine team effort from Sudbury around the hour mark, giving Paul Abrahams’ side a mountain to climb as they bid to keep their play-off hopes alive. Within minutes, former Colchester United youngster ANDREWS finished proceedings with his second goal of the game, burying the ball from close range after Maldon had given up possession - all three goals coming within an 11-minute spell. With time running out, an afternoon to forget was rounded off when Shad Ngandu was denied from the penalty spot.

FRIDAY 15TH APRIL | THE PITCHING IN ISTHMIAN LEAGUE NORTH | ATT: 342 Looking for a response after the home defeat to AFC Sudbury, Maldon & Tiptree travelled south to Hullbridge Sports on Good Friday knowing that maximum points would be needed to keep any hopes for a play-off spot alive. The evening got off to the worst possible start for the Jammers though, when Luke HORNSLEY put the hosts ahead inside the opening ten minutes. Although Tommy Dixon-Hodge had initially made a solid save from a header, Hornsley was on hand to bury the rebound. The two sides would be split by just the one goal at the half-time interval, but Paul Abrahams’ side were dealt an immediate blow at the start of the second period when former Jammer Kieran BAILEY doubled the advantage straight from kick-off, converting Freddie Hockey’s low cross. With just under a quarter-of-an-hour to play, Ade COLE halved the deficit when he buried from close range following good work on the left flank from Emmanuel Martins, but the two-goal cushion was swiftly restored when George SMITH latched onto a through ball and slotted past Dixon-Hodge in the 85th minute. With the clock into injury time, Maldon made the scoreline more respectable when COLE grabbed his second from the spot, but it was to be successive defeats for the Jammers.

CLUB HISTORY NICKNAME The Seasiders FOUNDED 2000 GROUND Dellwood Avenue CAPACITY 2,000 RECENT FORM Bury (H) Sat 16 April W 6-2 Stowmarket (H) Tue 12 April W 2-2 Barking (A) Sat 9 April W 3-2 Great Wakering (A) Sat 2 April W 2-1

Felixstowe & Walton United Football Club aka ‘The Seasiders’ were formed in 2000 following the merger of Felixstowe Town and Walton United. Formed in 1895, Walton United played at The Recreation ground in Recreation Way Walton while Felixstowe Town, formed five years earlier played at The Town Ground, Dellwood Avenue. The amalgamation in 2000 looked a good marriage for the right reasons. Walton United had just won the Suffolk Senior Cup and were on the up but with nowhere to go as the Recreation ground at Walton could not accommodate Eastern Counties League standard facilities. Felixstowe Town had been renamed Felixstowe Port & Town due to their sponsorship by the Port, but when that was withdrawn in 1999/2000 it left the Town club struggling to recover and maintain Eastern Counties League football. It looked and proved to be a good decision by both clubs that they therefore merged with Dellwood Avenue becoming their home venue. It was a struggle in the early years after the merger with relegation coming in 2002, but it offered the chance for the club to regroup

and focus on the future with a growing youth set up and getting the basics right off the pitch and the club regained Premier Division status in 2006 when they finished runners up in Division One. Tied by what can be done at their present home the club always found it difficult to compete with the top sides in the Premier Division with what was the unique task of raising and lowering of the floodlights before and after games and the restrictions placed on the club by the local authorities. The Seasiders remained positive throughout and now have the lights permanently erected during the football season and have an excellent youth set up including junior non-competitive youngsters at under 8 plus four girls sides and provide sporting facilities on The Peninsula from six through to adulthood. At the end of the 2016/17 season a new clubhouse opened up pitch side to replace the old one which has transformed the club and by the end of the 2017/18 season, the Seasiders gained promotion to the Isthmian North Division at Step 4 for the first time in the clubs history and finished a respectable mid-table position.

THE PLAYERS

CALLUM ROBINSON GOALKEEPER Callum joined the club last summer from Stowmarket Town. He started his career at Colchester United before playing for Wroxham, AFC Sudbury and spent time on loan at Brantham Athletic. CALLUM BENNETT RIGHT BACK Club captain Callum is in his second spell at the club having re-joined in late 2018. An attacking full back with one of the best ball deliveries in nonleague football. Callum has plenty of experience from his time at Ipswich U18s, Stoke City U21s and Notts County.

NOEL AITKENS MIDFIELDER Noel’s signing for the club last summer caused a stir amongst the non-league world, joining from step 3 Leiston and being described by manager Boardley as “the best midfield player in this area”. Noel is quick, strong, can tackle, is athletic and can really play football!

JOE WHIGHT DEFENDER Joe came through the ITFC Youth system before playing for the likes of Needham, Bury and most recently AFC Sudbury where he captained their side. A left sided defender, Joe offers composure, a wonderful left foot and a toughness and desire to defend to the back line.

LAMELL HOWELL MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Lamell signed from Brightlingsea Regent in 2020. He can play on both wings or in the number 10 position and brings pace and trickery to the side. He has previously played for Stowmarket Town, Debenham LC and Brantham Athletic

CURTLEY WILLIAMS DEFENDER Curtley joins the club having last played for Stowmarket Town in 2020. Prior to this, spells at Lowestoft Town, Dagenham & Redbridge and Luton Town demonstrate the pedigree and experience Curtley possesses. He takes on the role of Vice Captain at the club in his first season with the Seasiders.

KYLE JOPLING DEFENDER Kyle joined the club in the summer of 2019 after spending part of the previous season on loan from Colchester United. Another player for the future, Kyle is already a hit with the supporters after his classy displays at the back.

JORDAN MATTHEWS MIDFIELDER Jordy, a one club man and a manager’s dream. Equally happy in midfield or in the No.10 shirt. Always gives 110% and somehow covers every blade of grass. With his fair share of goals and tackles he is a great all round player.

CURTIS HAYNES-BROWN DEFENDER Curtis joined last season from Stanway Rovers and has a fine Isthmian league pedigree. Previous clubs include AFC Sudbury, Lowestoft Town, Yeovil Town, Cambridge United, AFC Wimbledon, Macclesfield Town and Maldon & Tiptree.

STUART AINSLEY LEFT BACK Stuart joined the club for his second spell in 2014 from Lowestoft Town. Previous clubs include Chelmsford City and AFC Sudbury. Stuart spent 10 years at Ipswich Town, winning the FA Youth Cup in 2005. Stuart has a sweet left foot and a great work ethic.

LEON OTTLEY-GOOCH MIDFIELDER Leon signed for the club in 2020 and is another vastly experienced player at step 3 and 4 level. Previous clubs include Leiston, Bury Town, Hadleigh Utd and Stowmarket Town. Leon is very versatile but is predominantly a dynamic midfield player.

SAM NUNN DEFENDER Sam originally joined on loan from Stowmarket Town. He has previously played at a higher level for Lowestoft Town, Bury Town and Needham Market. Sam suffered with injuries last season but Boards and Crumpy had seen enough to make his signing a must.

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

JOSH HITTER MIDFIELDER Josh signs for us having played his football at Step 3 side Leiston for the past three seasons and gained a vast amount of exposure and experience at that level. Josh is an attack minded player who is very dynamic and likes to arrive in the box late and score goals. BILLY HOLLAND MIDFIELDER Billy started life at Ipswich Wanderers and has had spells at Needham, Leiston and AFC Sudbury. He’s 28 now and in his prime and has joined Felixstowe to push on and win things. Being left sided will bring a real balance to the midfield as well as adding a goal or two. MILES POWELL FORWARD ‘Milo’ spent the 2014/15 season with Whitton United returning to the Seasiders where he learnt his trade. Milo has now become one of the most prolific goal scorers the club has ever had.

GEORGE CLARKE FORWARD George signed at the same time as Sam Nunn, also from Stowmarket Town and has previously played for Ipswich Town, AFC Sudbury, Needham Market, Brightlingsea Regent and Brantham Athletic. George is a powerful player with the speed to match. DANNY CRUMP GOALKEEPER This is Danny’s fifth spell at Felixstowe & Walton after spells at Hadleigh and more recently Mildenhall. He has made over 200 appearances for the club and kept over 50 clean sheets from 2015 to 2018. Danny is now working as a player/ coach. ZAK BROWN FORWARD A sought after and highly rated young

striker. At just 17, Zak penned a two year pro contract with Ipswich Town where he was a regular marksman in the U23’s. Zak started life in the Seasiders Youth sections and the club are delighted to have him back. OLLIE CANFER FORWARD Ollie made a dramatic impact when he joined the club in November 2019, signing from Mildenhall Town. “Canfs” burst onto the scene scoring 9 goals in 13 games. The fans love his non-stop running and desire to cause defensive headaches for the opposition. ARMANI SCHAAR MIDFIELDER/FORWARD Armani played for Felixstowe & Walton back in 2016 before moving on to Leiston and then Lowestoft Town where he helped them avoid relegation.

GEORGE CLARKE

CLUB HISTORY

In 2009, Ed Garty took over the ownership of Maldon Town from Michael Kirkham, whilst still in charge of running Tiptree United and installed Alan Brockhouse as Maldon Town’s new chairman. Following the takeover, Colin Wallington returned for a second spell in charge of Maldon Town, leaving his post as Tiptree United manager immediately. Colin previously managed Maldon Town from 2003 until 2007, having achieved promotion in the 200506 via the play-off final. Having left Maldon in 2007, Colin went on to manage Tiptree United where he achieved promotion winning the

Eastern Counties Division One title in the 2007/08 season. Until the conclusion of the 2009/10 season both Maldon Town & Tiptree United played their home games at Park Drive, under a ground share arrangement. In the summer of 2010, Maldon Town & Tiptree United amalgamated to form, Maldon & Tiptree Football Club, under the ownership of Ed Garty. As a result of the amalgamation, Tiptree United withdrew from the Essex Senior League, resulting in the club’s last ever fixture being a 3-1 defeat against Enfield 1893 on 24 April 2010. Maldon & Tiptree took

MALDON & TIPTREE vs FELIXSTOWE & WALTON UNITED

the place of Maldon Town in the Isthmian Division One North. Following the retirement of Colin Wallington, Assistant Manager, Brad King and Glen Knight were appointed as the clubs JointManager. As the pair’s first managerial role, the new club witnessed wholesale changes with only a handful of players remaining who finished the season with Maldon Town and Tiptree United, respectively. The 2010-11 campaign saw the new club remain in or around the play-off positions for the majority of the season, finishing in eighth

place to finish the season with sixty-three points. Despite the high turnover of players, the good standard of football was maintained and it was in the end, a disappointing end to the season, for the club to fall away in the later stages of the season when suspensions and injuries eventually took their toll to leave the club frustratingly short of the play-off positions at the end of April. The 2011-12 season, proved to not be so successful and in November 2011, King and Knight were relieved of their duties with immediate effect. Ex-Charlton professional Mike Flanagan was appointed as Caretaker Manager and remained in place until the end of the season, steering the club to a respectful mid-table finish, managing thirty-three games and finishing with a win percentage of 49.12%. At the start of the 2012-13 campaign, Ex-Stansted & Redbridge boss Terry Spillane was appointed as Manager, and Mike Flanagan departed the club. The change of management, once again brought wholesale changes with the playing squad. Ex Tiptree United manager, Jody was brought to the club as Terry’s Assistant Manager. After a fantastic and unbeaten start to the season, the club found themselves at the top of the table but an incredible run by eventual Champions Grays Athletic meant Maldon had to settle for a place in the play-offs – Terry’s side remained unbeaten until Boxing Day, when they lost away from home against local rivals Heybridge Swifts. Disappointment came in the play-off final however when they lost a two goal lead to draw with Thamesmead Town, who thenwent on to win the final,on penalties.

After a disappointing end to the previous season, Terry Spillane oversaw more wholesale changes in the playing squad, including the departure of Assistant Manager, Jody Brown. Despite the changes, Maldon finished in ninth position with seventy-six points, winning twenty-one games. More changes to the playing staff, resulted in poor start to the 2014-15 season, and the club parted ways with Spillane in September 2014, with Chairman, Ed Garty takeover as Caretaker Manager, for three games. At the end of September 2014, Alan Kimble was appointed as manager and remained in charge for the remainder of the season, however the side struggled and more changes in the playing staff occurred. Maldon finished the season in nineteenth place with only forty-nine points. During the 2014-15 season, Media Officer at the time, Richard Buckby ran a competition for supporters to vote for a club nickname, with the options The River Boys, The Marshmen, The Mudmen and The Jammers available. The vote took place in January 2015 and was featured on National Radio station, TalkSport, with the The Jammers winning the vote with over 50% and being confirmed as the clubs new nickname. Following the completion of the 2014-15 season, the club linked with Colchester United and the two clubs formed close ties, which resulted in ex Ipswich Town midfielder, David Wright being appointed as First Team Manager. Wright remained in charge until December 2015 as he was appointed Assistant Manager of Colchester United. Liam Bailey took charge of the First Team on

a temporary basis, only managing one game, which finished four-all against Tilbury on Boxing Day in 2015. Moving into 2016, exLeiston Manager, Steve Ball was appointed First Team Manager and steered the club to a respectable finish in the league table climbing to seventh place, only missing out on the play-off places by nine points. In the closed season, a change of Management at Colchester United saw Steve Ball appointed as their Assistant Manager, leaving his position of Maldon & Tiptree Manager as a result. Ex-Manchester City midfielder, Kevin Horlock was then appointed as First Team manager ahead of the 2016-17 campaign and for the majority of the season, the Jammers sat at the top of the table before slipping away to finish in second place. Horlock’s side managed to reach the play-off final, however lost to Thurrock one-nil. The following campaign was not quite as successful for Horlock, with Maldon finishing just outside the play-off places in seventh place, with sixty-nine points. After managing 112 games, Kevin Horlock departed in the closed season and was replaced by ex-Colchester defender, Wayne Brown. In Brown’s first season in charge, the 2018-19 season, the Jammers finished in second place and reached the play-off final, but lost on penalties against local rivals, Heybridge Swifts. The 2019-20 season was one to remember for the club, but for the right and wrong reasons. The club achieved great things in the Emirates FA Cup. Having reached the First Round proper of the competition, Maldon beat League Two side, Leyton Orient away from home, taking over 600

fans to the home of The O’s, with the goals coming from Danny Parish and a superb solo goal from Jorome Slew. In the second round proper, Maldon were drawn against Football League side, Newport County with the game being shown live on National Television– with the Jammers only beaten by the League Two side, with a goal in stoppage time, with the game finishing 1-0. A record attendance of 1876 was recorded. However, the 2019-20 season will also be remembered for the wrong reasons. After impressive performances on the field, the Jammers found themselves top of the Isthmian Division One North, thirteen points clear with four games in hand, when disaster struck. With a global pandemic declared, as a result of Coronavirus, the league competition was formally abandoned on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the division. The club were denied a chance of promotion and forced to remain in the Division One North for the 2020-21 season.

ED GARTY STEPPED DOWN AS CHAIRMAN IN OCTOBER 2020 Following the disappointing end to the 2019-20 season, Wayne Brown remained in charge of the club and wholesale changes in the playing squad occurred again, with a number of the previous season’s squad securing transfers to clubs higher up the football pyramid. The Jammers were dealt a big blow in October 2020 when owner and Chairman Ed Garty stood down from his position with immediate effect, ending a challenging ten years at the helm. After a period of uncertainty for

the football club, General Manager Ron Dangerfield was confirmed as the new Chairman, with Richard Cowling taking ownership of the football club. Just like the 2019-20 season, the 2020-21 campaign was terminated with promotion and relegation denied for all the sides competing in the Division One North. However, prior to the curtailment the Jammers had reached the Emirates FA Cup First Round for the second successive season, this time losing to Morecambe 1-0 in front of the television cameras. Brown’s side also achieved their longest ever run in the Buildbase FA Trophy, eventually losing to Gloucester City. The Jammers were only able to play in five league games, finishing in third place before the season was curtailed. Heading in to the 2021/22 season, Wayne Brown remains in charge of the first team and is now the club’s longest-serving manager, holding the record for the most games managed in charge of Maldon & Tiptree Football Club.

The Isthmian Football League strongly supports the FA statement that there should be a zero tolerance approach against racism and all forms of discrimination. Accordingly any form of discriminatory abuse whether it by reason of age, disability, gender reassignment, race, religion and belief, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, sex and sexual orientation or any other form of abuse will be reported to The Football Association for action by that Association.” (The FA 0800 085 0508 / Kick it Out 020 7253 0162).The Isthmian League and all Member Clubs in the League are committed to promoting equality by treating people fairly and with respect, by recognising that inequalities may exist, by taking steps to address them and providing access and opportunities for all members of the community.”
