IN THE CHAIR
Simon Negus
Chairman
A warm welcome to Hanworth
Villa for today's Cherry Red
Records Combined Counties
League Premier Division North
A warm welcome to the Racecourse for tonight‘s Combined Counties Premier
League game - and a special welcome to everybody from Hanworth Villa. I first
need to say a huge congratulations to our opposition for their performances
this season and their fully deserved promotion. The fact that they have gone
this far in the season undefeated is phenomenal but it’s a record that
obviously I hope comes to an end this evening. Well done though and good
luck for next season at Step 4.
Talking of congratulations there have been some further fantastic results
from Ascot United teams in the last week. Our U15 Girls managed by Mick
Parker have won their league and remain unbeaten, and our U16 Girls
managed by Stuart Connor have also won the league without being defeated.
And our Allied Counties team managed by Josh Nice have also secured that
title for the first time, with a victory in the final league game of the season
clinching the title. Many congratulations to all involved.
Even though the season is soon to be coming to an end, the club continues to
operate throughout the summer with many teams choosing to continue their
training schedule and the clubhouse in frequent use. The club is available to
hire so please get in contact if you have any events planned– we are also
looking to increase our staff numbers over the summer so if you know of
anybody looking for work please ask them to get in touch particularly bar and
cafe staff.
Several people have asked if we know the venue or date for our Senior County
Cup Final yet – and just as we published this program we learnt it has been set
for Saturday 7th May at Slough Town's Arbour Park (3pm). Keep an eye open for
details on our social media channels.
Hope you all enjoy the game this evening. Simon

FROM THE DUGOUT
Welcome to the players, officials
and supporters of Hanworth Villa.
Enjoy the game!
Jamie Tompkins
First Team Manager
Hello and welcome to Hanworth Villa players, committee and supporters for this evening’s
Combined Counties Premier North fixture.
Firstly, congratulations to all at Hanworth Villa for winning the league and promotion. Their side
have been unmatched and unbeaten all season so they have fully deserved this reward.
We will be looking to continue our good form since Christmas, just 2 losses in 17 games, and more
recently 4 clean sheets in 5 games so we will go into this game with confidence and aim to be the
first team to beat Hanworth this season.
Saying that, tonight our already depleted squad will again play our sixth game in 18 days – poor
scheduling from the league – before we have 10 days off to then playing 2 games and 3 days. I
cannot fault our squad’s application and work rate as they continue to grind out good
performances on tired legs.
Positive news aside from the 3-0 win on Saturday was Taylor Morgan making his 50th appearance
for the club, Taylor has been a great asset since joining us and is on fine form too.
Hot off the press the County Cup Final date has been set for 3pm on Saturday 7th May at Arbour
Park, Slough Town, and we will know our opposition when the other semi-final takes place next
Monday.
Thank you to our sponsors, club officials and volunteers for all the fantastic work and ongoing
support towards our football club.
Enjoy the game! Jamie

ON COURSE!
With Programme Editor Neal Jeffs
Welcome to the players, officials and
supporters of Hanworth Villa for this Cherry
Red Records Combined Counties League
Premier Division North match.
Happy
reading, and
enjoy the
game! Neal
First of all welcome to Hanworth Villa and like all of us here at Ascot we are
truly in awe of your title winning season. We might have a say in whether it is
an unbeaten league programme, but with 31 games down and 31 undefeated
it’s still absolutely incredible. Despite attending 80-90% of our games I have
done the worst double in the world as not only did I miss our away match at
Villa I am also missing tonight on a much needed holiday! However, I’m
wishing both sides all the best from Cornwall. We’ve done well off the back of
the Wycombe game having played good football against Tadley but somehow
ended up only drawing, before finally finding that winning feeling at Virginia
Water and then North Greenford, also with 2 clean sheets.
Still pinching ourselves! Jo Gavin
(facilities manager) gets
involved in the post-match
celebrations after Ascot stunned
Wycombe in the county cup. It
wasn't just a herculean effort on
the pitch!
Elsewhere, our Ladies Reserves’ finally lost their 30-odd-game winning streak
with defeat at Badshot Lea in the league cup semi final last Sunday. It was a
tough ask against the Division 1 champions – 2 league higher – and they were
goalless for nearly an hour before losing 2-0. However, news also came
through that our Girls U16 Diamonds were crowned SCWGL Premier League
champions on the same day, so it’s not all bad! Back to the first team, and
we’re not in action again until 16th May when we play Windsor FC at home, but I
know a few of our lads are interested in watching the other Berks and Bucks
Senior Cup semi-final tie between Reading and MK Dons at Reading’s ground
next Monday 11th (7.30pm) Then we know which team we will need to beat to
win the cup on May 7th! That’s it for now. Enjoy the evening! Neal

ASCOT UNITED ALLIED U18
CHAMPIONS!!!
Young Yellamen beat Fleet Spurs 2-0 to pip Westfield
Fleet Spurs 0
Ascot United 2
Allied Counties YL South
Click here for league table
Ascot United Allied Under 18’s were crowned Allied
Counties Youth League (South) champions by beating
Fleet Spurs 2-0 in a must-win game on Monday [March
28th]. With league leaders Westfield having already
finished their league program and lying one point above
Ascot with a superior goal difference, Josh Nice’s side
needed to beat Spurs in their final game to leapfrog
Westfield to glory.
Despite being rock-bottom, the home side’s form had
improved since the turn of the year with only one defeat
in five matches in open play. However, Nice’s side have
been impressive throughout the campaign, and once
again showed their professionalism and maturity in front
of the large number of travelling supporters.
It looked for all the world that a combination of excellent goalkeeper and resolute defending would keep Ascot out
until half-time. Alex Hall stung Kieran Rush’s palms after just five minutes before making an even better save to
thwart George Fairbairn when clean through in the 11th minute, and then diving full stretch to claw away Hugo
South’s free-kick midway through the half.
At the other end James Docherty was rarely troubled, although home defender Reece Knight really should have
made better connection with a glancing header as half time approached. But, there was still time for one final
chance, and after Ascot broke, Jake Pandhor was tripped in the box; Lawson Jones stepping up to confidently
hammer home the resultant spot-kick into the bottom right.
The second half was incredibly scrappy and after Nice had thrown on all five substitutes in two separate tranches,
The Yellamen finally killed the game off.
It took fully eighty minutes for them to do so; Ollie Mann escaping down the right wing and delivering a lofted cross
that fellow substitute Matt Hurdwell bundled home at the third attempt after Rush had got down well to save his
header and then recovered to block his follow-up. Hurdwell’s shot on the turn might have added gloss three minutes
from the end of normal time following Tom Bailey’s excellent run, but 2-0 it remained sparking scenes of joy
amongst the players, staff and travelling supporters.
Many will point to a pivotal moment in early February when Ascot bagged an injury-time equaliser against Westfield
to put the destiny of the title in their own hands. However, it is the statistics – P14 W11 D2 L1 – which speak volumes
of a campaign oozing consistency and commitment from an extremely talented group of players; players who are
now title winners and who we are proud to say wear yellow and blue.
Ascot United: Docherty, Bailey, McCart, South (Bowden), Thompson, Walden, Hall (Mann), Pandhor, Jones (Hurdwell),
Holden (Chaisty), Fairbairn (Tomkins).

MATCH REPORT ROUNDUP
MORGANS MAKE HEADLINES AS ASCOT WIN ON ROAD
Yellamen beat North Greenford 3-0 in Taylor's half-century
Saturday 2nd April 2022 - Combined Counties League Premier Division North -
North Greenford United 0 - 3 Ascot United
Ascot United romped to a 3-0 win at North Greenford United on Saturday in a
fine team display. Debutant Charlie Morgan (pictured) weighed in with a
goal, whereas Taylor Morgan made his 50th appearance in yellow and blue.
‘Keeper Sam Gray was in action to deny the hosts early-on but James
Richardson set Ascot on their way when he beat his marker and smashed
home midway through the first half, although the hosts were already down
to men after an earlier foul on Taylor Morgan.
North Greenford gift-wrapped Ascot a second goal two minutes into the
second half with an own-goal, and although both sides traded chances it
was 17-year old MOM Charlie Morgan who grabbed the headlines with a
debut goal as the final fifteen minutes approached; Sean McCormack with
the trickery before Morgan converted.
McCormack might have added a fourth late-on but his shot was well-saved,
but Ascot were worthy winners as they gained further momentum ahead of
the visit of league champions Hanworth Villa on Tuesday.
Ascot United: Gray, Merrick, Masters, Scott, Bouwers, Bailey, McCormack, C.
Morgan, T. Morgan, August, Richardson (Surpanu).

CLUB HISTORY - ASCOT UNITED
Ascot United as we know it, was founded in 1965 by a men’s team who played their games at Sunninghill with “after
match meetings” in The Wells in Cheapside village (now Mikado’s). Teams played as long ago as 1928 under the name
Ascot United but nothing to link them directly to the current club. In 1965, the club had gained permission from the Ascot
Racecourse Trustees to convert the land east of coach park 10 into a football pitch. A wooden clubhouse was built and
this team went on to win many prestigious trophies in the years that followed.
Various youth teams represented Ascot United over the years up to 1988, and 1992 the East Berks 7-a-side Association
was formed by our then Chairman Keith Wicks introducing small-sided junior games and having disbanded in 1980 the
men’s team also reformed. The club continued to grow, entering into partnership with Charters School and being
awarded FA Charter Standard status in 2004. The men’s senior team enjoyed early success through the East Berks
League gaining continued promotions to the Senior division and winning various Cups including the Fielden Charity Cup
in 1996/7. 2001 saw the 1st team join the Reading Senior League and winning the Evening Post Senior Cup at the
Madejski Stadium in 2006. Promotion to the Hellenic League soon followed in 2007, followed by promotion to the
Hellenic Premier Division in 2009. The club today has grown to become one of the largest Community football clubs in
the UK with over 1000 registered players and over 70 teams playing every weekend embracing all ages and abilities
from 5 year olds through to Vets. A new clubhouse opened in September 2010, together with an improved main pitch,
floodlights and a stand.
The club has enjoyed much success at all levels particularly in the Ladies and Girls Section where they are regularly
winners of leagues and county Cups. Our senior Ladies won promotion to the Premier Division of the Southern Region
Women’s’ Football League in 2017-18 and consolidated their position with a mid-table finish in 2018-19. Meanwhile, 2018-
19 was an outstanding one for our junior Boys’ teams who won an array of county cups at various age groups, a feat
we’ve rarely previously achieved.
The past decade has been hugely successful for our first team; our debut in the FA Cup in 2011 attracted 1,149 people to
the Racecourse on a Friday evening where the famous trophy itself was on display and the match was streamed live on
Facebook. Between 2012-13 and 2015-16 we reached the Quarter Final of the FA Vase twice, enjoyed two top-three
finishes in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division, and won both the Bluefin Sport Challenge Cup and Perpetua
Press Floodlit Cup. More recently, our players’ development took the spotlight, as a host of Yellamen have enjoyed
success with other local sides and many of our talented development players stepped up into the first team. After
finishing 2017-18 in style, in 2018-19 new manager Jamie Tompkins led his side to the top of the table for long spells,
winning two team-of-the-month awards, and finishing with league cup glory once again by defeating Windsor 3-1.
We were transferred into the Combined Counties League for the 2019-20 season, playing on our new 3G pitch facility,
which transformed the club by facilitating more of our teams’ matches and training at The Racecourse. The stronger
platform facilitated further player development, and Jamie’s young side would lead the table for long periods before
establishing what looked like a title-winning margin at the top shortly before the league was aborted due to
Coronavirus. Retaining much of the same squad for 2020-21, Jamie saw his side in and around the challengers before
another pandemic-curtailed season, although they battled through to the league cup final where they were ultimately
beaten on penalties by Redhill.
As Ascot enjoy a third season in the Combined Counties League, everyone hopes for a safe and consistent campaign,
and if silverware comes with it then that will surely be a bonus in current times!

CLUB HISTORY - HANWORTH VILLA
Hanworth Villa, ‘The Villains,’ was formed in 1976. In the early years, the team struggled in
Division one of the Hounslow & District League, scoring a goal was usually celebrated with
a public holiday. During a close season, following hard work by Jimmy Connors, the team
was completely rebuilt and this led to them finishing as Division 1 Champions.
The following Season saw the club start an incredible run in the league, which finished 68
matches later, with the ’Villains’ winning the Hounslow Premier League and the West
Middlesex Divisions one and two championships. The success continued with Hanworth
being elected to the newly formed Middlesex County Football League in 1984/1985.
From 1980 the club had a nomadic existence but in 1997 moved to their current headquarters at Rectory Meadow. This
move led to the formation of Hanworth Villa Sunday and a new reserve team, being an amalgamation of teams from The
Sawyers Arms, The Queen Dowager and Feltham Railway Club. A Chiswick League double in 1992/1993 and a 19-0 Cup Final
victory in the National Railways Cup cemented the successful amalgamation.
Following hard work by Dave Brown the club was granted a lease at Rectory Meadow. At last the team had a permanent
home and could set about converting an existing pavilion into a clubhouse, which has become known as the ‘Ranch’. With
a permanent base, Villa were also able to concentrate on improving the level of football, and in 2002/2003 a notable
performance by the Saturday first team was to win ‘the treble’ of the Middlesex County Premier Cup, the Open Cup and the
Middlesex County League. After another Premier League title in 2004/2005, with a record number of points, it was decided
to move on and the club were elected to Division 1 of the Combined Counties League in 2005/2006.
It took a while to adapt to the new level of football, but in the second season they managed to win the Challenge Cup. The
following season, 2007/2008, the team managed to successfully defend the Challenge Cup and also narrowly miss out on
the league title, finishing a credible second. However the lack of facilities at the ‘Ranch’ prevented promotion to the
Premier Division.
The club were determined to ensure that the situation should not arise again and with typical determination the
committee managed to raise the funds to ensure that floodlights and a spectator stand were installed in time for the
2008/2009 campaign. The effort was not in vain as once again the team finished second and following a successful
ground inspection Hanworth Villa were promoted to the Combined Counties Premier League for the 2009/2010 season
The debut season was as expected difficult with points being few and far between and it was not until the second half of
the campaign that the team came to terms with the standard of football required. By the end of the season the team had
collected enough points to finish 17th, three points clear of relegation.
The first season taught the club a lot and changes were put in place to allow for a more comfortable second season, in
which not only did the team finish in 5th position in the league, but also reached the finals of the Middlesex Senior Charity
Cup and the Southern Combination Cup. Unfortunately they were to lose in both.
The 2011/2012 season will live long in the memory of all concerned at the club as being their most successful in national
competition. In the FA Cup the team, after victories over Shrivenham, Bedfont Sports, Wembley, Aveley and Slough, lined up
against AFC Totten for a place in the 1st Round proper, a rare achievement for a team competing at national level 9. In a
very close encounter AFC won 3-2.
In the FA Vase the team reached the 3rd round losing to Herne Bay, one of the beaten semi-finalists that year.
In 2013/2014 the team were successful in achieving a double, in winning both the Middlesex Premier League Cup and the
Southern Combination Cup.
At the end of the 2015/16 season the club appointed former Queens Park Rangers and Fulham defender Rufus Brevett as
their new manager. Rufus had previously managed at Arlesey Town and had coached at Banbury United.
Under the Management of Rufus and his team, Bobby Watson, Carl Cleaver and Cliff Angol the team won the Middlesex
Senior Charity Cup with a 3 – 2 win over Spelthorne Sports. It was the second occasion in three years that the team have
won this trophy.
In December 2018, by mutual agreement, Rufus Brevett stepped down as first team Manager with Louis Carder-Walcott,
previously Assistant Manager at Westfield FC, being appointed shortly after.
Following a poor run of form at the start of the 2019/20 and with no positive signs of recovery it was, mutual agreement,
decided that Louis would step down as Manager of the club. In November 2019 the position was filled by Simon Haughney
and his management team of Paul Thomas and Leon Solomon.
The players responded well to this new team and with the addition of several new signings performed well, despite the
distractions of the Covid pandemic. Not only did they remain unbeaten in the ten matches played during the suspended
2020-21 season, they also set a new club record by progressing to the last 16 of the F A Vase, narrowly losing to Long Eaton
United on penalties.
