I’m delighted to welcome the new boys to the group Kieran Barnes, Sammy Wilis, Lil Francesco, Julinho Gomes, Danny Baulk and Scott Joseph. These players have added to the group on and off the pitch, but what we understand is the division is difficult. Last year showed us anybody on their day can beat anybody and it’s the most consistent teams that go on to be successful, so we are under no illusions just how hard it will be this year.
We are full of hope and expectation with the league, the FA Cup, the Vase and the local league cups to look forward to.
Every single Saints fan will need to play their part this season and continue to back this group as I have no doubt they will run through brick walls for you and your support.

BLAST FROM THE PAST
FA CUP PRELIMINARY ROUND
Bedford United & Valerio 0 St Neots Town 2
In the end this was a comfortable FA Cup debut victory for Manager John Taylor and another £1,000 in the bank for the club but at half time it looked as though a combination of the pitch, and the stubborn resistance of the home side would thwart St Neots’ ambitions.
Apart from one two minutes period just past the half hour when keeper Jack Rashid made two saves bordering on the magnificent there was little to enthuse about for the small crowd. It took both sides some time to come to terms with the bone hard dusty surface and neither keeper had a serious save to make in the opening half hour.Steve Wareham created St Neots best early chance when he burst between the two last defenders, but his weak shot only just reached the goal. At the other end the St Neots defence were once caught square, but Alex Clipstone’s shot was twice as high as the St Neots crossbar. Then after 33 minutes Steve Kuhne did get the ball in the net but he had fouled a defender but play then quickly switched to the other end when an exquisite lob by Keith Thomas caught Rashid off his line after a mistake by Damian Matthews but the keeper arched his back acrobatically to touch the ball over for a corner. From the corner United maintained the pressure and Russell Lawes cleared off the line before Thomas brought a brilliant reflex save from the St Neots custodian.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
That one extended incident was all the noteworthy action before the break and the visitors retuned after half time with their ears burning and looking far more focussed. They wrapped up their victory with two goals in a six minutes’ spell just after the restart. Ronnie Fortune switched from striker to midfield provided the first with across pulled back to the edge of the area and Steve Wareham netted with a shot on the turn. Then Wareham turned provider with a cross into the six yards box that Steve Kuhne header comfortably into the net with Nick Foulkes inexplicably glued to his goal line.
St Neots now shed their inhibitions and produced some attractive football and introduced all three permitted substitutes but seldom looked like adding to their score. They did not need to.
St Neots: Rashid, Lawes, Bloss, Hoggett, Matthews (Newbury 76m), Cox, Wareham, Stupple (Finch 80m), Kuhne (Chapman 71m), Bartley, Fortune.
Subs Used (in brackets)
Sub not used: Clark
Goals: Wareham 52m, Kuhne 58m.

Club Website: www.pitchero.com/newportpagnellfc
GOOD EVENING AND A VERY WARMWELCOME TO THE PREMIER PLUS STADIUM TO OUR FIRST VISITORS THIS SEASON – NEWPORT PAGNELL
Newport will be eager to go one better this season than last, when they finished just one place outside the end of season play-offs. They would also like to repeat their FA Vase heroics of 2022 and 2023 when they made two consecutive appearances at Wembley Stadium. However, today it is back to the bread and butter of league competition and out visitors will be aiming to repeat their performance here last season when they recorded a 3-0 victory. Later in the return match we fell to another defeat – by the only goal of the match – to give Pagnell only one of two league doubles over us last season.The other side that beat us home and away was champions Wellingborough Town who are now competing at Step Four.Below you will see that our two sides have been so evenly matches that it would be difficult to see who start as favourites this afternoon. Our hectic pre-season programme saw us beaten just once in seven outings and that by a higher ranked side. Manager Cameron Mawer has added quality to his squad in the close season and we look forward to the new players making their mark. Pagnell opened their league programme with a visit from Yaxley and next Saturday they begin their FA Cup campaign with a visit by Essex Senior League side Ilford. In the League Cup first round next month they are to host Godmanchester Rovers.Our next scheduled home fixture is on 10th August when we host Rugby Borough in a league fixture.
Previous meetings of our teams:
We played Newport Pagnell in eleven of the sixteen seasons between 1995/96 and 2010/11 during our spell in the UCL after our return to senior level. In addition, we faced then twice in the league KO Cup in the 1994/95 and 2003/04 seasons – both at home and winning both! Last season we renewed our league meetings – losing both at home and away
In the league our record is:
Played 24 Won 10 Drawn 4 Lost 10 Goals for 41 Goals against 39
Pagnell won only one of their first nine visits to St Neots, but the overall record above shows how evenly matches our two sides are.
Enjoy the match.

Newport Pagnell Town
CEWPORT PAGNELL TOWN FC HISTORY
The first recorded football team in Newport Pagnell dates back to 1874 and the town has had many different teams since then. The modern club that we know today was formed in 1963 by a few young lads because they wanted a regular game of football. From such humble beginnings to contesting two consecutive FA Vase finals at Wembley Stadium it is fair to say that it has been an eventful and exciting journey.
Newport Pagnell Wanderers entered a team in the North Bucks Minor League in their first season, playing home games on Bury Field Common. The following year saw the formation of a Senior team, they entered the North Bucks League and won Division 3 in their second season. Soon after that they won Division 2 and Division 1 (three times) in consecutive years. In the 1971-72 season they joined the South Midlands League, temporarily playing home matches at the Youth Club. Then in 1972 the club moved to the new facilities at the Willen Road Sports Ground, changing their name to Newport Pagnell Town the following season. In 1973-74 Newport Pagnell Town joined Division 2 of the United Counties League and won promotion to Division 1 in 1974-75. They won the Division 1 Championship.
in 1981-82 and were promoted to the Premier Division. They were 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 in 2001-02 and remained in the Premier Division until the FA moved the club into the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League in 2019-20. Following two curtailed seasons the FA moved Newport back into the United Counties League Premier Division South in 2021-22.
Our best FA Cup achievement was to reach the Second Qualifying Round in 2008-09. Newport have performed well in the Berks & Bucks FA County cups winning the Senior Trophy In 2009-10 and 2010-11, Intermediate Cup in 2001-02 and the Reserve Team won the Junior Cup in 1982-83. The club’s major achievement to date is, without doubt, winning the Buildbase FA Vase in 2022. Following a club record crowd of 1,858 at Willen Road for the exciting semi-final victory over Hamworthy United, more than 7,500 Newport Pagnell Town supporters travelled to Wembley to see the impressive 3-0 win over Littlehampton Town in the final. Then the following season this achievement was almost repeated when the Swans once again got to the FA Vase final. Newport once again sold their entire allocation of tickets, although this time a very well organised Ascot United side went on to lift the cup winning 1-0.

Newport Pagnell Town
Reaching two consecutive Wembley finals is something we never thought would happen in our wildest dreams.
As far back as 1936 Newport Pagnell has had a Women’s team and there has been various teams over the years since. In the last couple of years, the Women’s team has been re-established and in 2022-23 they were Champions of the Thames Valley Counties League Division 3.
They have been promoted to the East Midlands Regional League Division 1 South for the 2023-24 season and will also enter the Women’s FA Cup for the first time.
Newport run Bobicat & Bearcat Disability Teams and has around 30 youth teams for boys and girls. The club is passionate about providing a continuous pathway from youth to senior teams and many of this season’s Senior players have progressed from our Youth Section.
Once a Swan, always a Swan.
