TALK OF THE TOWN
Good Afternoon everyone and welcome to today's FA Cup game against Bedworth United. We used to meet regularly in the League until Covid and League reorganisation placed us in different Divisions. From our past encounters we know that we will be in for a close game and we will need to be at our best to reach the next round.
The following night it was the turn of the Reserves to produce a good performance with a 4-1 victory over Chesterton in the Staffs Senior League. Enjoy the game and have a safe journey home.
If a replay is needed it will take place at Bed worth on Tuesday night KO 7.45 pm which will mean a postponement of Tuesday's match at home to Widnes. However the Widnes game could still be postponed as they are also in the Cup. They play at Bury tomorrow so we may not know until Sunday evening whether the Widnes game will take place.
The draw for the next round will be announced at 1-00 pm on Monday. It's been a good week for Castle with a great 2-1 victory over local rivals Hanley Town with the score flattering the home side. Thanks to all the fans who made the short journey and their terrific support.
Today we welcome Bedworth United in the FA cup in a game that both teams/clubs will be looking to win and put a good cup run together. FA cup prize money is always important to any club and we are no different. We have made a solid start to the season with 2 wins and a draw and this has built some confidence coming into this game. Unbeaten runs are important and if you consider that we finished the season with 2 wins and a draw we are now 6 games unbeaten over the 2 seasons which is very good progress for our young group. Tuesday's result against local rivals Hanley Town who are aiming for back to back promotions was a real show of the quality we have at the club and we showed real maturity. 90% of our players are 4/6 years of their prime which is at around 28 years of age so there will be lots of development opportunities left for this group of talented players. We are very much looking forward to see what this group of players can achieve this season. Hope you will all enjoy the game

Volunteers are the lifeblood of our club. Without them we are nothing. Thank you to Ray and all those people who continue to make our club tick. Gavin
Two good performances and 4 points from our opening 2 games is a healthy return against tough opposition. The lads I am sure will be desperate to progress here today in Cup action. On Thursday we hosted a celebration event for the Premier League, who are celebrating 30 years, at venues across the Country they have supported with funding for facility improvement. We were pleased to invite a number of teams and children to the stadium to receive photos with the Premier League Trophy.

The first Bedworth Town football club was formed in 1895 when several matches were played against other local teams. They became founder members of the Nuneaton and District League in 1898, but by 1900 the club had Finishingdisbanded.runners-up
A third club came on the scene in 1925, when Collycroft United, formed in 1916, became the third team to name themselves Bedworth Town.
WELCOME BEDWORTH
in the Second Division of the Coventry and North Warwickshire League in the 1904-05 season, the ECS changed their name to Bedworth Town on winning promotion and stayed in existence until the early 1920s. During that time, the town fielded a fine player in Jack 'Sandy' Sheldon who later played for Manchester United, Liverpool and Luton Town.
UNITED RECENT HISTORY
From 1990 to 1997, the Greenbacks pushed for promotion back to the Southern League’s top flight and enjoyed a top six finish in four of the next five seasons. Phillips was tempted to move to Stafford Rangers during the 1992-93 season, but progress was continued under the helm of former Notts County midfielder Dean Thomas. Unfortunately, achieving the heady heights of a third place finish in the 1995-96 season, the club overstretched itself financially - and they faced possible closure until a group of die-hards acted to keep the club alive. After that, the Greenbacks occupied a bottom half finish for 14 seasons until the appointment in May, 2011, of a bright, forward-thinking management team led by Steve Farmer, assistant Adam Cooper, and the experienced Ian Roper on the field. In his first season, Farmer - at 31 the youngest manager in the club’s history - led them to their first promotion in their 65-year semi-professional history.
This was the most successful of the pre-war clubs, they were members of the Coventry and North Warwickshire League and spent one season in 1936-37 in the Central Amateur League. The last club to become Bedworth Town was formed in 1947, and as a semi-professional club, secured membership of the Birmingham Combination and soon hit the headlines. They won the championship in successive seasons1948-49 and 1949-50 seasons - and in the 1949-50 season were also defeated in the Final of the Birmingham Senior Cup. For season 1954-55, Bedworth joined the Birmingham League and they qualified for the Northern Section for the league’s inaugural First Division. The Birmingham League was re-named the West Midlands League in 1962, but lack of success and problems off the field saw Bedworth Town change their name to Bedworth United in 1968. In 1972 they obtained membership for the Southern League Division One North. In their first season they finished bottom, but this was only to be a setback as they made rapid strides into the Premier Division when the league was re-formed in 1982. In the Premier Division, they finished 5th in 1982-83 season, and were stable in this league until a poor run saw them relegated at the end of the 1988-89 season. On February 23rd 1982, the non-league world was staggered when a crowd of 5,172 - then a record for the Southern League in its new form - turned up at their Oval ground to watch them beat Nuneaton Borough 1-0 to go top of the league.
After becoming Bedworth United, they won the Birmingham Senior Cup on three occasions in the 1980s and were beaten finalists to West Bromwich Albion in the 1987-88 season. Bedworth United were relegated to the Southern League Midland Division in 1988-89 season until the appointment of St Lucia-born Brendan Phillips as manager in 1990 launched a revival in the club’s fortunes.
2013 14 The Greenbacks played in the Evo Stik NPL Division One South. Andrew Fuller took over as Manager, however he resigned after a few weeks and was replaced by Nick Hawkins who unfortunately was unable to improve the results. He was then replaced by Stuart Storer along with Andy Penny as his assistant. Both came from Hinckley United. After a difficult start they produced a settled squad and staved off relegation at the end of the season.
2014-15 The Greenbacks returned to the Southern Football League. Stuart Storer remained as manager and in his first full season in charge the club once again won promotion after a 2-0 win over Barton Rovers in the Play-off Final. This was the clubs first season on its new artificial grass pitch.
2015-16 The club played once again in the Southern Football League Premier Division. The season started slowly and a number of changes to playing staff made up until Christmas. The club pushed to avoid relegation but ultimately were unsuccessful, although all agree this was due to the start of the season and not the group of players at the club at the end. The 2016-17 season saw the club play once again in the NPL Division One South. A season that saw a number of injury problems and changes in playing staff saw a mid-table finish The club did have a successful run in the FA Cup, eventually losing out to National League side Curzon Ashton.
After finishing in a highly creditable third place, they won promotion after beating Uxbridge 2 1 in a Semi Final Play off and defeating Beaconsfield SYCOB 3 1 in the Final. Sadly, the fledgling manager showed his inexperience by changing his promotion winning team from the start and it culminated in the club lasting just one season back in the Southern League Premier Division as they finished in 21st place and went down on goal difference
2017-18 Saw the team struggle in the league early on with injuries and Stuart Storer was unable to field the same team for two games in a row. Come Christmas though with the team becoming more settled results started to come and the Greenbacks push saw them finish fourth in the league and make the Play offs where they met Chasetown in the Semi Final running out 2 1 winners to book a place against Stamford in the Final. Bedworth eventually won 2 1 after extra time after conceding seven minutes into injury time. With the restructuring of the Leagues Bedworth were now promoted into the Evo Stik Southern Premier League Central. Unfortunately this foray into Step 3 of the non league ladder was short lived and the team were relegated back to Step 4 at the end of the 2018 19 season. In the Season that never was due to Covid 19 The Greenbacks were getting a head of steam up and were looking like they might have made the Play offs but with the season being brought to a premature halt Bedworth would start the 2020 21 season in Step 4 again. Bedworth started well in the 2020 21 season only suffering defeat in the games they played and were sitting second in the league when again due to Covid the season was curtailed.
2021/22 season saw Bedworth again move from the Southern League to the NPL into the Midland Division where after a poor start to the season saw the side go on an unbeaten run through December and January which saw them get to within touching distance of the Play-off places but a loss at the end of January led to them losing momentum and finishing midtable.

SAM LOMAX Sam started off his career at Aston Villa. After being released he began his nonleague journey with Rugby Town, having made 40+ appearances. As a summer signing last season the larger than life goal keeper has settled well within the squad and has become a bit of a cult hero due to his height amongst the junior section at the club.
MAX DIXON Max is a strong Pacy attacking player who can list Lichfield, Rushall Olympic and was a product of Coventry Academy.
ETHAN BAYNHAM Another product of the successful U21s last year Ethan is a strong aggressive physical player who despite his young age loves to mix it.
LIAM MURPHY A physical mobile striker who always puts 100% in a product of our junior and youth setup a key member in last season’s dominance by our U21s and Youth sides
LUKE ROWE Luke is a local lad, and he has grown in stature under the guidance of the coaching team. Luke left sided player was one of the managers‘ first signings from Hinckley, where he played under the current management team. He has played in New Zealand for Wellington making several appearances for the New Zealand national youth team and has a senior cap for his country. He always seem to feature in the end of year award ceremonies
JAZZ LUCKIE Another new signing this season a strong aggressive winger with pace and quick feet a defenders nightmare. Jazz has come to us from Hednesford and has experience at both this level and the level above JACK BARNETT A left sided player who loves nothing more than getting inside and firing shots away can deliver deadly balls into the opposition box. Can list Northampton Town, Stevenage, Hemel Hempstead and Wealdstone on his footballing CV
REECE BLACKMORE Reece is now in his sixth season with Bedworth, Reece as a youngster up until U16 was playing at Derby County where he then moved on to play youth football at Kettering Town. Bedworth signed him from Coventry Sphinx and since then he has been a regular in the team becoming a fan favourite because of his combative style of play and no nonsense attitude to the game.
RYAN MOORE Ryan comes to Bedworth United from Sutton Coldfield FC. He signed in July 2021 and has made over 50 appearances at our current level. The cultured 23 year old full back started his career off at Birmingham City FC youth set up. Ryan is a quiet steady performer who never lets his level drop always an 8 out of 10 every week.
WILLIAM EDJENGUELE Experienced strong defender with a wealth of experience has played not only in this country but in the top divisions in France, Switzerland, and Greece. Played a season at Coventry United where he quickly became a fan favourite unfortunately his time at the sky blues was brief due to Coventry’s financial issues at the time
LIAM LOCKETT Liam started his football journey at Worcester City progressing through their youth ranks to their first team. Liam is a skillfull midfielder who seems to glide past opponents and has an eye for goal in his time here at Bedworth he has hit the net with some sublime goals at vital times and is definitely one to watch this season.
KHALLEM BAILEY-NICHOLS Khallem returns for the third time back to The Ovala strong tricky striker with an eye for goals has recently been at Kettering Town, Worcester Town and Redditch United.
JAMES SANDERSON Another one of our home grown talents. A calm dependable young player with a great attitude one to watch for the future.
MAX JOHNSON A Technical midfielder who loves to get on the ball and create things came through the Strachan Football Academy and has also played for Rugby Town in America
ELLIOT PARROTT Elliot is quite an experienced player despite his young age. The combative midfielder was a youngster at Coventry City and played for Nuneaton Town youth team before joining Bedworth. He has made well over 200 appearances for the club and can play in a number of positions with relative ease.
RICHARD BLYTHE Richard is a centre midfielder who is happy to mix it but is equally good with the ball at his feet, Richard is another player who has returned to the club after a season at Rugby. He was club captain in the promotion winning season and hopes that he can relieve that glory again this season. Weighed in last season with his share of goals.
JOSEPH SMITH Defender signed this season from Coventry United. Aggressive defender with a winning mentality lists Racing Club Warwick and Coventry Sphinx before Coventry United
TYLER HADDOW Tyler has come to us from Barwell where he was top scorer last season a striker who knows where the goal is previously at Coventry United.
KYLE BARNETT Kyle is a strong centre back and also a new signing for this season. Kyle has come to us from Daventry Town and has a footballing CV that lists Coventry United, amongst others. Kyle has impressed in his time here at Bedworth United and has formed a good relationship with his defensive peers.
EESA SAWYER Eesa signed last season from Rushall Olympic. The quick exciting forward played a handful of games for Rushall but could not stamp a claim to a regular shirt. He came to BUFC hoping to improve and play regularly at the Oval. So far Eesa has been a revelation with his pace and has left many a full back in his wake and also adds his share of goals to the team
