John’s Jottings
Welcome to Woodstock Park from The Club Secretary
Good evening everyone, welcome to Woodstock Park.
Our visitors are Whyteleafe. Welcome to their Players, officials and supporters and tonight’s
match officials.
Tonight Hicham Akhazzan, if he is selected, will rack up 400 appearances for the Brickies - A
magnificent achievement. I have lost count of the number of 7 day approaches we have had for
Hicham over the years. He has of course turned them all down. Hicham made his debut against
Maidstone Utd in a Kent Senior Cup tie on 11th November 2006. His loyalty to Sittingbourne
Football Club is unparalleled. In the time he has been with us he has scored 92 goals. We all
hope that he has many more seasons with us.
We played Whyteleafe on their artificial pitch in September and came away with a 2-1 win. Our
goals were scored by players no longer with us, Fred Obassa and Harry Smith. What made this
a really good victory is that Sittingbourne were without five first teamers through injury and of
course were playing on an unfamiliar surface.
Our last home match saw us progress to the semi finals of the Alan Turvey league cup sponsored
by Robert Dyas. Corinthian Casuals were the opponents and they had already done the
double over us in the league. Nick was without Miles Cornwell through suspension and cup tied
players Stephen Ita, Jordan Wells, Kerry Kedze, Josh Algar and Scott Whibley, At one time we
had five under 21 team members playing. The first half was fairly even but the second was definitely
Sittingbourne’s. Our semi Final opponents are Faversham Town and the game takes
place on Tuesday 1 st March.
Either side of the league cup game we have had two 3-0 defeats. The first was against Tooting
& Mitcham. We were never really in this match and Tooting deserved their win Last Saturday we
made the long trip to Worthing Miles Cornwell was serving the last game of his suspension and
Josh Wisson was on England Schoolboy duties. New signing, Scott Whibley was also serving a
suspension. Worthing are a young enthusiastic side who are definitely one of the best teams we
have played if not the best. Worthing went into the lead but after half time we looked the better
team without getting the crucial equaliser. What often happens when a team is chasing the
game happened. Worthing scored a break away goal that looked by some way off side. A further
goal for the home side near the end of the match gave the scoreline a flattering look in favour
of the home side.
Welcome to another new signing today who is Tom Carlse, a defender who has signed from
East Grinstead Town. Our next two games are both against
the same opponents – Walton & Hersham. Away on Saturday
and home next Tuesday.

Nicks Notes
Last Tuesday we were excellent against Corinthian-Casuals in the Quarter final of the league
cup and to come back from being behind to win proves we have great character in the dressing
room. With 4 players cup tied and 3 others unavailable we had 5 teenagers in the 16.
It’s important to realise what we have achieved so far and to be in the last 4 from 72 and to
bring the club some much needed prize money which wouldn’t have been expected at the
start of the season. With that it also gives us a mouth-watering semi-final clash and Kent Derby
against our nearest rivals Faversham.
On Saturday I thought we played very well. For 25/30 minutes of the second half I thought we
were outstanding and there was only one team in the game. Unfortunately with throwing more
bodies forward in the search for the equaliser we were caught out twice on the break. I’m not
taking anything away from Worthing because as an attacking force they are the best we have
seen in the league and to be disappointed to lose says it all. We have some really important
games coming up and we encourage you to come out in force and get behind the lads as you
always do.

WHYTELEAFE — A BRIEF HISTORY
Whyteleafe FC, was formed in 1946 commencing in
Junior football as members of the Caterham and
Edenbridge, the Thornton Heath & District and the
Croydon Leagues progressing two years later to the
Surrey County Intermediate League (Eastern Division)
and were Division 1 champions in 1955/6.
1958 saw the significant transition from 'Junior' to
'Senior' status and entry into the Surrey Senior
League. This change required the club to move from
the New Barn Lane School ground which was inadequate
for senior football and with a dynamic committee
under the leadership of Secretary Dick
Baxendine, the club purchased approximately four
acres of farmland in nearby Church Road, where
the club still play today.
Play commenced on the ground in season 1959/60,
and in the early sixties the club gained minor rewards
with the reserve team playing under the guidance
of former Crystal Palace hero Roy Greenwood.
The next success came as the 1960s drew to
a close which saw 'Leafe as Surrey Senior League
Champions and runners up to Bracknell Town in the
League cup.
In the 1970s the floodlight training area and stand
were built and in 1975, after seventeen happy years
with the Surrey Senior League, the club moved into
the London Spartan League, where the best they
achieved was third place on two occasions in the six
years of their membership. In 1981 the club joined
the Athenian League and it was at about this time in
the early 80s that the main pitch floodlights were
installed and the dressing rooms were moved to a
new location on the top bank enabling the clubhouse
to be extended.
The 1980/81 season saw the club reached the 5th
round of the FA Vase losing to Basildon United.
Four years later in the 1984/85 season, a league reorganisation
saw the club enter Division Two South
of the Isthmian League
In November 1986 Steve Kember joined the club as
Manager having been associated with the club for
some years previously when with Crystal Palace
with whom he had won considerable success.
A highly successful 1988/89 saw the club win promotion
as runners-up in Division Two South to Division
One.
Steve Kember resigned in July 1993 and returned to
Crystal Palace as a coach.
Season 1998/99 proved to be very mixed, with the
club achieving good cup results losing to Welling
United in sight of a first round visit to Bristol Rovers
in the FA Cup, and winning through to the last 32 in
the FA Trophy going out to the eventual winners
Kingstonian in front of a record home crowd of 945.
But a season of chronic injury saw 'Leafe struggle to
survive in the league and avoided relegation by winning
the last game of the season.
However, 1999/2000 proved the most momentous
in the club's history. For the first time ever the club
reached the 1st Round proper of the FA Cup when
a crowd of 2,164, easily beat the previous season's
record in a match which saw them hold league opponents
Chester City to a 0-0 draw before going
down 1-3 in a replay at Chester.
An imposing new stand was built at the top end of
the ground just in time for the big match.
Following the promotion battles of the previous two
seasons, the 'Leafe's form in 2001/2 slumped and
only a re-organisation of the Ryman League saved
the club from its first relegation.
2010/11 was always going to be difficult season with
virtually no money to support the running of the 1st
team and the club only just steered themselves
away from relegation.
While 2010/11 was hard, the following year was
doubly so. Nick English’s hard work and commitment
was never in doubt but things just didn't work
for him the following year and he left the club in January
2012. Several days after English's departure,
Steve Griffin was appointed manager in his place
and given the tough job of catching up 20th placed
side Burgess Hill Town when 12 point adrift.
The appointment coincided with a change in club
constitution which saw Mark Coote become ownerchairman
(as opposed to elected-chairman). The
change gives the Club renewed hope of future development
and progression yet the 2011/12 season
ended in bitter disappointment and the club’s first
relegation in its history despite drawing level with
Burgess Hill at one point and only losing to an extraordinary
result by the Hillians against Dulwich
Hamlet.
Whyteleafe returned to Ryman League football season
2014/15 by winning the Southern Counties east
premier division by 11 points. Major changes at the
stadium during the closed season included the installation
of a 3G pitch.
Their first season back was a great success with the
team finishing in 5 th spot unlucky to lose out in the
play-offs to Folkestone Invicta after conceding an
own goal and missing a penalty.

From the Chairman
So pleased to have reached the semi final of the Ryman League Cup. It's great for everyone
involved with the club. With our respective positions in recent years Faversham will start as favourites
and I know we have some players cup tied but the last game between us was close
and you never know! Let's hope we can take a large support with us.
Fantastic that the club has a player Josh Wisson in the England Schools squad and we wish
him every success. Let's have him back for the Semi !
Made the long trip to Worthing Saturday and I enjoyed the game if not the result. Bit of a weird
place in some ways with the new all weather pitch and a number of new supporters it feels like
a new club. You talk to some people who
know little about their club. First half was quiet
even and it was a blow to go in 1-0 down.
Started the second half and we were well on
top for a long period. Team had a nice balance
to it and subs were made at the right
time to maximum effect.
The second goal was a real killer, break
away against the run of play and so far offside
it was not even funny. The sort of Decision
you get when your near the top of the
league not near the bottom. Probably the only
major decision the officials had to make in
the whole game which is such a shame. After
that the third goal was very good but flattered
the score line. That was at worst a 0-1
defeat but before the second goal you got
the feeling we were going to score. Would
not swap anything at that club for ours but I
was jealous about a crowd over 600!
We still have a big job in the league for our
safety and these two back to back home
games we need to pick up some points. Welcome
to everyone tonight lets hope it's a
good game and the weather is kind to us.

Match Reports
By Tony Rickson
Battling Sittingbourne just failed in their bid to
preserve their unbeaten run as the New Year
kicked off under grey and wet skies.
Defeat by the only goal of a closely-contested
derby match ended a run of five games unbeaten
for Sittingbourne, and took Faversham up to the
top four of the Ryman South Division.
The defeat was so similar to many Sittingbourne
endured in the 13-match run that preceded their
recent good form.
Just by the odd goal, with little between the
teams, and Sittingbourne staging a late rally in a
frantic but unsuccessful search for an equaliser.
Let’s hope this derby defeat isn’t the start of another
poor run – though there looks to be a bit
more steel and grit about this current Sittingbourne
side.
They made just one change from the team that
hammered Ramsgate 4-0 last Monday, Jordan
Wells earning a starting place after his six-minute
hat-trick as a late substitute in that game.
Faversham won an important toss and chose to
play into the wind in the first half, which turned
out to be pretty even.
Jack Steventon was caught out one-on-one early
on by a midfield mistake and had to take a booking
for the team – 85 minutes is a long time to
hold out for a young defender without getting into
trouble again, but he made it.
The ever-running Miles Cornwell stretched the
Faversham defence the whole game, but he
failed with a couple of first half chances provided
by Wells. The first one was saved by the keeper
and the second Cornwell blasted over. He also
got on the end of a lovely run from halfway by
Steven Ita but his low cross into the area eluded
the supporting players.
The best chance of the half for Sittingbourne fell
to Josh Wisson following an Ita free-kick into the
box, but keeper Godmon rushed out to block the
teenager’s powerful shot.
Faversham went close with one header but
mainly seemed ready to bide their time and wait
for more opportunities to come their way with the
wind and driving rain behind them in the second
half.
And that’s the way it turned out as they took the
lead on 55 minutes following a throw-in on the
right. Robertson, who was so impressive for Faversham
against Sittingbourne last season, cut in
on goal and fired in a shot which goalkeeper Adam
Molloy saved. But he couldn’t hold onto the
ball in a crowded area and Matt Bourne, who
went to school in Sittingbourne and played a long
time for his home town club before joining Faversham,
swept in the rebound.
Sittingbourne responded well to the setback and
had most of the possession for the rest of the
half, going close but not close enough to an
equaliser.
Billy French headed wide from a corner, sub
Hicham Akhazzan shot over, Cornwell blasted
straight at the keeper and just failed to control a
Tom Brunt through ball when he would have
been in on goal, sub Dan Hughes shot wide
when nicely set up by Ita, and Ita himself fired in
a low shot which keeper Godmon did well to hold
onto under pressure.
So for Sittingbourne, all that endeavour in tiring
conditions produced no end result and a disappointing
finish to their recovery. But they’ve still
managed to put a good bit of distance between
themselves and the relegation-threatened bottom
three and should surely continue their climb
away from trouble if they maintain their current
commitment and determination.

French, Steventon, Wisson, Wright (Akhazzan

Match Reports
By Tony Rickson
Wow, what a result as Sittingbourne stunned promotion-chasing
Ramsgate for the second time
this season, Jordan Wells’ six-minute hat-trick
completing a dazzling win.
Just two weeks ago Sittingbourne were third bottom
in Ryman South and without a point for
months, while Ramsgate – under former Brickies
managers Jim and Danny Ward – were riding
high in third place.
But if any proof was needed that Sittingbourne
had turned round their losing run, then this was it.
In front of their biggest home crowd for a couple
of seasons, Sittingbourne pulled off their biggest
home win for an even longer period.
Going into the match on the back of an excellent
unbeaten four-match run, Sittingbourne played
with passion and commitment, standing up to
some tough tackling, shackling two of the
league’s top scorers, and rounding it off with
some stunningly well-taken goals. It was quite a
day.
Sittingbourne went into this Bank Holiday Monday
fixture with just one change from the team that
battled bravely to a point at Dorking Wanderers a
couple of nights before Christmas, Billy French
replacing the injured George Crimmen in central
defence.
Ramsgate were missing the suspended Luke Girt
but still had four ex-Sittingbourne players in their
ranks – top scorer Joe Taylor, midfielders Ollie
Brown and Nick Treadwell, and winger Tom
Loynes.
In an even first half, Ramsgate had an early penalty
appeal rejected, and danger man Taylor shot
just wide and had a header brilliantly turned over
by Adam Molloy before the goalkeeper found out
the forward was offside anyway.
At the other end, Steven Ita was wide of the far
post following a Josh Wisson free-kick and Jono
Richardson headed over when well placed to
meet a left-wing corner.
Sittingbourne took the lead on 34 minutes with an
excellent goal. Wisson calmly started it in his own
half, finding Richardson who sent a long ball forward
for Dan Hughes. He exchanged passes with
Miles Cornwell, who gave him an excellent first
time return, and shot under keeper Watkins from
the middle of the penalty area.
Molloy was again in action, making a good diving
save to keep out Taylor’s effort, and keeping his
head when Treadwell got in close on goal for a
free-kick but could only stab it at the keeper.
To be fair, Ramsgate had a fair bit of possession
in the second half but Sittingbourne were determined
and steady in defence and dangerous on
the break, though for a long spell the final pass
just kept eluding them.
Molloy again did well when he raced off his line to
break up one attack but, generally, the defence in
front of him did well with French and young Jack
Steventon alongside him exceptional. Even the
normally outstanding Crimmen wasn’t missed.
Sittingbourne needed a second goal and they got
in the 87th minute when sub Hicham Akhazzan –
in his first appearance as a proud new dad –
cleverly found Cornwell beyond the far post and
he provided his second assist of the afternoon,
finding sub Wells in space to pick his spot in the
corner.
Ramsgate striker Pulman was sent off for his second
yellow card, both for dissent, and his colleagues,
who as a team had been under par all
afternoon, disintegrated.
Akhazzan and Wisson combined brilliantly down
the left and Wells was in the right place at the
near post to squeeze the ball over the line at the
second attempt.
And that wasn’t enough for the young striker, who
arrived from Folkestone in exchange for Harry
Smith and a nice little fee for Sittingbourne.
Who got the better deal as with Smith on the
bench at Folkestone, here Wells completed his
hat-trick in just six minutes, firing home when Stef
Wright picked him out after collecting a stray
clearance by the Ramsgate keeper?
That’s two excellent wins over Ramsgate this
season, and how pleased with themselves should
Sittingbourne be. All the usual suspects like Richardson,
Molloy, Tom Brunt etc, were excellent,
but so, too, were the youngsters. Steventon was
outstanding at the back and, for me, Wisson was
man of the match with a mature and committed
performance in the heat of the midfield battleground.
Sittingbourne: Molloy, Brunt, Richardson,
French, Steventon, Wisson, Wright, Bankole,
Hughes (Wells 70 mins), Cornwell, Ita (Akhazzan
82 mins)
