BLAST FROM THE PAST
FA VASE SECOND QUALIFYING ROUND –
20th September 2003
Somersham Town 0 St Neots Town 4
In the end it was a very routine victory for the visitors and a place in the next round. However, Manager Jon Taylor was quick to admit that his sides’ overall performance had been far from perfect. ‘We seem to be very slow starters’ he said, ‘and that is something I shall have to work on as a matter of urgency.’ The first half hour produced very little significant action from either side but once St Neots got into their stride, they outclassed their inexperienced hosts and only two or three excellent saves by Andy Laurie late in the game prevented the scoreline becoming an embarrassment.
In the first real attack Damian Nelson shot into the side netting for Somersham, whilst at the other end both Paul Bloss and Barry Dellar failed to find the target when well placed. Steve Kuhne then shot just wide with an acrobatic overhead kick, but it was to be the St Neots skipper who opened the scoring with the first shot on target in the 31st minute. The goal came from a neat move on the left involving Paul Bloss and Steve Wareham and when the ball was crossed Kuhne had lots of space to angle a header beyond the reach of Laurie. That seemed to boost the visitors’ confidence and before the break Chris Bailey cleared off the line from Steve Wareham.
he second half saw St Neots back to their more usual form and they dominated the game from that point on. Paul Bloss should have increased the lead after robbing Bailey on the edge of the area but shot disappointingly wide whilst in a rare Somersham attack Ashley English shot wide.
BLAST FROM THE PAST
St Neots reorganised their side by adding Lee Bearman in an attacking role and taking off defender Damian Matthews. Bearman’s introduction produced the second goal within ninety seconds as he outpaced Bailey and crossed for Steve Kuhne to head his second goal of the game. At that point Bailey twisted his ankle and had to be replaced and within ten minutes both sides had introduced their quota of substitutes. St Neots keeper Jack Rashid was then injured when he misjudged a lob by Adam Clayton and collided with a post as the ball just cleared the bar and then the bar at the other end kept out a headed by Mike Newbury with Laurie beaten. The game was then lit up by two stunning strikes by Saints substitute striker Grant Chapman.
He had replaced skipper Kuhne, and another substitute Danny Bartley produced the cross from which he swept home the third goal and four minutes later it was 4-0. A free kick by Ronnie Fortune was not cleared and Chapman hit an unstoppable shot into the roof of the net. It was then left to Laurie to deny Fortune and Bartley further goals but St Neots will have been delighted to lay the ghost of their Senior Cup Final defeat by Somersham two and a half years ago the previous time the two had met.

GOOD AFTERNOON AND A VERY WARM WELCOME TO THE PREMIER PLUS STADIUM TO FIRST TIME VISITORS SHERINGHAM IN THE FA VASE
Like our lads our visitors have made a great start in FA competition this season. In the FA Cup they have seen off two sides from their own league both of whom brag a good record in National competition. In the extra-preliminary round, they entertained Woodbridge Town winning by the odd goal in three and then on the road just last Saturday in the preliminary round they won 3-1 at Dereham Town – and that was Dereham’s first defeat in four games this season! Last Monday’s draw saw then given a First Qualifying Round tie away at Step Four Witham Town who are members of the Isthmian League Division One North. However, enough about the FA Cup, today our two sides will have their focus on the FA Vase as we bid to progress in the other National competition. Last season after a first qualifying round bye our lads entertained Thetford Town winning a thriller 5-3 on penalties after a close 0-0 draw. Then in the next round we entertained Great Wakering Rovers, and another draw ensued (2-2) but this time we were beaten 4-2 on penalties and our opponents went on all the way to feature in the Vase Final at Wembley where they were beaten by Romford.
Sheringham have had a slow start to their league season having played just once so far and losing 1-0 away at Hadleigh. Last season they finished 14th in the final league table winning ten and drawing six of the 36 matches. Having been Thurlow Nunn Division One North champions in 2021/22 they impressed at the higher level finishing 7th in their first season at Step Five.

EDGWARE & KINGSBURY (H)

EMIRATES FA CUP PRELIMINARY ROUND
ST NEOTS TOWN 3
EDGWARE & KINGSBURY 0
St Neots sauntered in the next round of the FA Cup with a solid if less than convincing victory over their Cherry Red Combined Counties visitors. There never looked like being an upset for the home side once they had opened the scoring after just four minutes, but Manager Cameron Mawer would have liked to have seen some more positive finishing against a visiting side that had little to offer in attack. Edgware keeper Alfie Langford was impressive in keeping St Neots at bay especially in the first half although on several occasions St Neots made it easy for him with some careless finishing. However, the home club will be happy to bank the £1,444 prize money and move on to the next round in a fortnight. There were three team changes for the home side. Recent signing Dan Walker was cup tied and both Murphy Culkin and Sam Willis were unavailable for selection, so Lil Francisco was handed his debut with Charlie Bowen and Harvey Williams both recalled to the side.
From the first whistle St Neots looked comfortably in control with Harvey Williams firing narrowly wide in the first attack. They after just four minutes the lively Williams was upended as he darted into the penalty area and from the penalty spot Kieran Barnes opened the scoring. A well struck free kick by Dammy Nickels five minutes later flew narrowly over the bar and then after 11 minutes the visitors’ managed their first attack but Richard Acheampong’s shot was comfortably saved. Barnes then shot over the bar as St Neots continued to dictate play and both Charlie Bowen and Connor Furlong had shots well saved by busy visiting keeper Alfie Langford. From a St Neots corner a well-placed Nathan George header was tipped over the bar at full stretch and then Barnes sent a free kick over the bar. In a rare breakaway attack for the visiting side Jordan Payne headed a Dan Taylor free kick over the home crossbar and on the stroke of half time St Neots doubled their advantage when Charlie Bowen rose to power a header into the roof of the net from a Barnes free kick. In added time Carlos Bain might have pulled a goal back, but he shot wide when well placed.
John Walker's Match Report
EDGWARE & KINGSBURY (H)
17-09-2024
At the start of the second half Williams set up Barnes but the visiting keeper dived to his right to parry the well struck shot, and a defender cleared. Williams was again the provider with a whipped in cross, but Robbie Parker glanced his header over the bar and then Williams shot wide after neat play by Lil Francisco. Jordan Brown and Danny Baulk then replaced the two wide players and Carlos Bain, the most impressive visiting player, saw his rising shot blocked by a defender. Midway through the second half a third St Neots goal effectively put the outcome of the match beyond doubt. It was the second of the match and the fourth of the season for the busy Kieran Barnes who was perfectly placed to latch on to Jordan Brown’s pull back from the bye line to give the keeper no chance. Edgware responded by totally reshaping their side with four substitutions, but it had little effect on a match kept well under control by the home side. A brave save by Langford at the feet of Baulk kept the scoreline to reasonable proportions as St Neots moved to their third match in this season’s FA Cup competition.

SHERINGHAM FC
Formed in 1897, Sheringham joined the North Norfolk & Norwich Junior League, and soon enough a local landowner offered them a ground just off Holt Road for the bargain rent of just £5 a year. Back then, derby matches against neighbours Cromer often attracted crowds of more than 3,000, with 'football special' trains put on between the two towns.
The Club stepped up a level when they were elected to the Norfolk & Suffolk League in 1921, and a year later they built a new 200-seater stand to host their growing crowds – but Sheringham rarely challenged at the top until the 1950s, when they achieved two third-place finishes, followed by a title win in 1957-58. In 1964 the league restructured as the Anglian Combination, and in 1970 “the Shannocks” followed their previous year’s runners-up position with top spot in the Premier Division, earning them the Sterry Cup.
But all was not well off the pitch at Holt Road – the Council-owned ground was much in demand for housing, and its spectator facilities were beginning to show their age. A deal was done in 1988, and it would be a long eight years playing at the local High School until Sheringham had a home of their own again. Thankfully, when the new Council-built sports ground at Weybourne Road finally opened, the facilities were just what the football club needed – and their fortunes improved on the pitch too. Three consecutive promotions between 2003 and 2005 returned the club to the Premier Division. In 2008 the Shannocks became the first Anglian Combination team to reach the final of the Norfolk Senior Cup in 17 years, thanks to two stoppage-time goals in a dramatic 4-3 semi- final win at Dereham. “After the winner, everyone was just running round like headless chickens,” said manager John Kowalyk afterwards. Despite a valiant effort on their big night at Carrow Road, opponents Wroxham, two tiers above Sheringham in the pyramid, prevailed 3-1. But a year later they tasted success again, winning the Sterry Cup for the second time.
The Club lost their Premier Division status in 2015 but earned promotion back to the Premier Division in 2018. In 2019 the club won its 3rd Sterry Cup title, after a run in the second half of the season where the team only dropped 2 points from January. The Club was accepted into the Eastern Counties league for the first time in our history due to winning the Anglian Combination. The first season was curtailed in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we finished 7th in the league. Manager Chris Wigger and coach Darren Eadie then left the club to join Step 3 club Leiston FC as joint managers. Senior player Matt Halliday was then approached to take on the manager's job to lead the team into the 2020-21 season.
Opponent Spotlight
SHERINGHAM FC
The Club entered the FA Vase competition for the first time in 2020, and after a memorable 2-0 win against Premier Division side Newmarket Town, were beaten by Walsham le Willows. The 2020-21 season was curtailed due to COVID-19, at the time we were in 5th place in the league. The 2021-22 season saw us enter the FA Vase for the 2nd time, only to fall to defeat to Norfolk rivals Thetford Town in a 4-0 loss. The team recovered and after a 14-match winning streak won the First Division North title, beating Harleston Town to the finishing line which went down to the very last day of the season.
Our first campaign in the Premier Division in the 2022/23 season saw us enter the FA Cup for the first time in 66 years. We reached the Second Qualifying round which equalled our best ever run in the competition. After beating March Town, and Fakenham Town (after a replay) we overcame the odds to beat higher-league Lowestoft Town 1-0 at Crown Meadow. Our reward was a trip to Step 3 side Needham Market, where we ended up losing 2-0 despite a heroic fight. We reached the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Vase, which was a new record, losing on penalties to St Panteleimon of the Spartan League. In March, Matt Halliday left the club and was replaced by joint managers Jon Abbott and Lewis Plowman. The final league position of 7th place was a magnificent achievement in our first season at the level. The team came 14th in the 2023/24 season.
Jon Abbott supported by Ryan Oakley and Oscar Brewer take us in to the 2024/25 season.
