The result, although convincing in the end, does not tell the real story as in the first half Cookham Dean certainly made a game of it. After 10 minutes, with the score at 0-0, a thunderous shot from the Cookham forward rattled the Penn post from all of 25 yards following a corner.

Penn responded with a couple of shots from Jamie West and George Weller which were both well over the bar. Cookham responded with their own well-crafted counter attacks and had a couple of dangerous corners in quick succession which were thwarted by the Penn defence. With thirty minutes gone an excellent move by Penn across the midfield orchestrated by skipper Adam Davies resulted in releasing Josh Fox into the penalty area and his left foot “stinger” blasted into the side netting.

Cookham responded positively and on 38 minutes a good move released their forward and his effort produced a good save with his feet from the Penn goalkeeper Josh Cockerill.

Josh Fox who expertly side footed the ball past the goalkeeper’s dive and into the far corner to put Penn into the comfortable position of being 2-0 up at half time.

The second goal had obviously knocked the stuffing out of a resilient Cookham team and the second half was really a onesided affair and actually became the “Fred Tripp Show “. On 60 minutes Danny Blatchford put in a low cross from the right which Fred Tripp slotted home from close range. 3-0. On 62 minutes a goal with a smidgen of food fortune arrived when an attempted overhead kick from Danny Blatchford luckily wrong stepped the Cookham defence and everyone else apart from the rampant Mr. Tripp who once again gave the goalkeeper no chance from eight yards, 4-0.

On 62 Minutes George Weller and Danny Blatchford were replaced by Danny Jordan and Andy Harman. On 65 minutes Penn produced a stunning move when Josh Fox passed to Jamie West who moved the ball on to Danny Jordan down the left flank whose precision low cross was met by who else but that man Fred Tripp to tap in from 6 yards, 5-0.

Penn 7 — 0 Cookham Dean FC

Penn & Tylers Green FC progressed to round three of the Berks & Bucks Senior Trophy with an emphatic 7-0 win over Cookham Dean from the Thames Valley Premier League. Fred Tripp, the Penn centre forward, had a memorable afternoon, putting it mildly, by netting all five second half goals for his team!

Like many village clubs it lost a number of its playing staff during the Great and second world wars. Indeed, the Cricket Club pavilion is a listed building and a memorial in remembrance of the lives lost French School Meadows, the home ground, takes its name from the long since demolished 18th century School catering for orphans of the French Revolution. The pupils wore a blue uniform with white feathers in their hats giving rise to the clubs blue and white strip and the club logo. French School Meadows was purchased in 1949 (before then the team used to play on the back common) showers were installed in the 1960′s, the brick building built in the 1980′s and the extension developed in 2001. Prior to the building of the club house the HQ for the club was the Horse & Groom Public House. Penn & Tylers Green FC is not only one of the oldest clubs in the county, it is also one of the biggest village sides. Every weekend some 400 children, youths and adults pull on the blue and white stripes of Penn & Tylers Green Football Club.

The age range spans from the “Fantastic Footballers” (under-fives) through every age group and all the way to youth and senior footballers including girls and ladies sections. Each team has a number of qualified, dedicated volunteers who ensure the contin- ued success of the club.

We are quite simply, the biggest organisation in the village provid- ing vast numbers with the opportunity of participating in a marvellous team game. The club owes a huge debt to previous committee members and volunteers who have worked tirelessly over many years to provide the excellent facilities that we all enjoy today.

The function room and patio of the Sports and Social Club, provide an excellent setting for a hazy lazy afternoon, watching Cricket, Tennis and Football in close proximity in an idyllic setting with views over the Chilterns and areas of outstanding natural beauty. The new extension is for hire and is ideal for meetings of local clubs.

Given the number of Penn & Tylers Green Football Teams playing each week, it is simply not possible to accommodate all of them at our home ground. That is why we remain grateful for all local schools and recreational grounds for their continued support of the Club. However, it remains the desire of the Football Committee to ensure that as many Penn & Tylers Green teams as possible can play at French School Meadows and truly call it “home”. We continue to demonstrate our commitment in providing mini football to the children of the local area, they are our future.

The club is also desirous of improving the senior pitch all the time to ensure that they have the best possible playing surface. The club is a holder of the prestigious FA Community Charter Status and is proud of both its illustrious past and its plans for the future.

We are proud, of course, that The First Team won the Hellenic League – Division One (East) title in season 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 and the Reserves wining the Hellenic League – Division Two (East) title in season 2015/2016. The Reserves also won the Berks & Bucks Junior Cup in Seasons 2013/2014 and 2014/2015

Club History

Our present club was formally established in 1905 when it is believed that it adopted its first formal constitution. It achieved its first great success in the 1911/12 season by winning the Wycombe League. This Championship side was captained by George Slade, of Slade’s Garages, who later achieved fame as a champion motor cyclist and side car competitor.
