FROM THE CHAIRMAN

Good Afternoon one & all,

On this weekend of remembrance I find it hard to focus on the routine preparations for a football match over thinking of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. What's even harder to understand is that in today's age, people continue to resort to the killing of mankind to resolve conflict. Whatever the outcome of today's ninety minutes of football, please let us not forget those who unselfishly fought, and continue to fight, for the peace and freedom of others as well as themselves

Enduring a three hundred and ninety mile round trip to fulfil this afternoons match, its a warm Kellaway Park welcome to the players, officials and supporters of Cadbury Heath FC. That welcome is of course extended to our match officials Robert Fleetham, Mawgan Andrew and Lee Lee Anthony.

Both of last seasons fixtures between Helston and Cadbury were tight affairs. Here at Blues HQ it took Helston seventy minutes to break the deadlock before running out two nil winners. The reverse fixture, played on a Tuesday evening, finished all square at one a piece.

Looking ahead, Helston return to Jenkins Park, home of Millbrook FC on Tuesday for a 7:45pm KO in this seasons Les Phillips Cup. The tie must be settled on the night with the winners being rewarded with a home tie verses either Barnstaple Town or Falmouth Town. Next Saturday we return home to take on newly promoted Welton Rovers, KO 3:00pm. Following last Tuesday’s win over St Blazey in The Cornwall FA Senior Cup 2nd Rd,we of course also eagerly await to find out who our quarter final opponents will be.

This evening we again host The Good Old Fashion Lover Boys Queen Tribute Band. At the time on writing, a limited number of tickets remain available at £10 each from the bar. Fast forwarding onto tomorrow, Helston Athletic Women host Charlestown in their defence of the Cornwall FA Women’s Cup. KO is at 2:00pm and admission is free.

In remembrance of those who gave, and continue to give everything….LEST WE FORGET

CADBURY HEATH

The Club was first established in 1894 by Cadbury Heath Adult School (later to be known as Cadbury Heath Primary School) when Cadbury Heath was just a little narrow, one street village, way outside the boundaries of Bristol.

Our first pitch was situated at Mill Lane, changing in the Social Club and heating up water for tin baths. With a break for the War years, and the transferring to what is now Coronation Park, we progressed from the Bristol & District League to Division Two of the Bristol Premier Combination, and then to Division One in 1961, after winning the GFA Junior Cup in 1950. In the 60’s the team (only a first team then) built their own baths at the Social Club.

This period of success coincided with the renting of our present ground Springfield for £10 per annum from a local farmer and President Jim Warner. This was then an open pasture land with cows, a rope had to be put around the playing area. It had no Electricity Water or Drainage. The tea bar was a garden shed. The offer to purchase for £250 was short sighted declined, as the field was later sold as part of major development land and only intense lobbying led by the then Chairman, Mike Packer persuaded the Council to allocate Springfield as part of Public Open Space leased to the Football Club for dual use. This has meant that we have not been entirely masters of our own destiny. Even so, Gloucestershire County League Championship in 1971 72, 1972 73, 73 74 and runners up 74/75 at the same time winning the GFA Senior Amateur Cup in 1972/73 73/74 and 1974 75, under Ralph Miller’s Management. The success pushed the club into joining the Midland Combination after being turned down by the Western League due to the dressing rooms being situated too far from the pitch (what is now the Social Club bottle store). A stand was built for the requirement of the Midland Combination (with tea bar).

After finishing fifth and reaching the quarter finals of the FA Vase with a crowd of 2,000 at Springfield, and more listening live on local Radio Bristol for the tie against Billericay Town from Essex, the Manager left after a disagreement with the committee, and took most of the players, to Cinderford Town. This shook the club to the core, we were relegated and had to drop two divisions to the Avon Premier Combination (we were founder members) there was no `Pyramid System’ in force.

A slow recovery took place, half time rooms being built, then a terrapin to provide on pitch dressing rooms, taking advantage of newly laid drains for the new houses, a water supply, and electricity for training floodlights. Elected back into the Gloucestershire County League in 1984 a reserve team was started in 1988 ran by John Clarke formed from CHYMCA the first team finished as runners up in the County League in 1990. The managers in this period were Bob Williams, Dave Pitman, Les Allan, John Harris, Andy Stone, Keith Cottrell, Brian Knighton, Mike Ratcliffe, and Chris Stone. We celebrated our Centenary by winning the League Championship for the fifth time in 1994, under the consistent management of Brian Knighton, and we continued to dominate the league again.

CADBURY HEATH

Continued improvement on and off the field saw new dressing rooms built on the ground in 1997, a youth academy started under Malcolm Knowlson and a new terrapin replaced the one for the youth section formed from an amalgamation with local youth football club, Grimsbury Rangers. After winning the Gloucestershire County League for a record sixth time, under the management of Andy Black, an application to join the Western League was again turned down due to the lack of a fence. Andy then left the club to join Bitton & Steve Plenty was appointed Manager along with Lee Knighton.

After a public open meeting and a long battle with the Council, the fence was finally erected at a cost of £15,000 funded by Cadbury Heath Football Club. Steve and Lee’s first season in charge got runners up spot, of which consequently secured our election to the Toolstation Western League at long last!

After two seasons in charge, Steve Plenty stood down due to family commitments and Lee Knighton took over the hot seat for a season and then the reigns were handed over to his assistant, Glenn Smart, who consolidated our position for four seasons. Lee Knighton took over as First Team Manager for his second spell and appointed Andy Weeks as his assistant in season 2005/6, also that year Steve Plenty became Chairman when Dave Smart stood down.

After five years of planning tribulations Floodlights were successfully installed at the end of season 2008/2009 this being Phase one of Heaths redevelopment plan, being largely due to the efforts of Chairman Steve Plenty. The Heath and The Social Club went their separate ways in season 2011/12. Andy Black joined the club for his third spell in season 2010/11 appointing Glenn Smart as his assistant culminating in the first division championship and promotion to the Premier Div. in season 2011/12. Then followed two good seasons in the premier division with the last two seasons being a period of trying to rebuild the side after most of the original players either retiring or moving on to higher level football.

Phase two, is in the planning stage which is for a new dressing room facility incorporating a new clubhouse & new 100 seat stand with a covered area for a further 100. During season 2015 2016 Roger Coke joined the club as coach. Season 2016 2017 started with a new first team coach Phillip Bater Ex Bristol Rovers and the introduction of a U18 side who will be playing in the Bristol & Glos U18 league. Mid season Rob Mallett joined the coaching staff to assist Andy Black. First team won the GFA Challenge Trophy beating Fairfield Town 4 3 0n penalties.

At the end of the season Andy Black resigned as manager and became director of football. Season 2017 2018, Rob Mallett was appointed first team manager; he was then succeeded by Andy Black returning. For the 2019/20 season, Andy was assisted by his brother John but during the season, Mitchell Hodge took over but the season was declared null and void after COVID 19 arrived on the shores. Season 2020 21 also ended early due to a second & third wave of the virus and regular lockdowns forced the season to be curtailed again. For the 2021 22 season, a three strong managerial team of David Doe, Matt Huxley and George Boon secured a Premier Division berth once again.
