CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the December edition of the 'all new' Off the Post, and on behalf of all
the Committee, can we wish you and yours a very happy, peaceful and enjoyable
Christmas, and a successful New Year.
As the fixtures issued at the League meeting reflect, there's a two week break from
all fixtures this year, with no league games scheduled for December 27th or January
3rd, though various County Cups or outside competitions may well see your teams
involved in a fixture for January 3rd, as these are 'Conference' dates, and the only
ones available for outside competitions, so please double check they don't involve
you before assuming you have a fortnight off.
Discipline wise, it's been another relatively quiet month (thankfully!) and though
Darrell has called his committee together once since the last meeting, it wasn't in the
'Urgent' bracket, and his report is contained within.
For those in attendance at last week’s league meeting, the 'News', for want of a
better word, was that both myself and Vice Chair, Mike Ball, announced to the
meeting that we would both be stepping down from our roles at the end of this
season. We had informed the Committee of our decision after the November
meeting, and made it 'public' last week, and though it would be wrong for me to
speak on Mike's behalf - Mike has included a page on this within - for me, I think the
time is right to step away and let 'fresh blood', with perhaps a fresh outlook, take
control, and hopefully take the League forward, if not in a different direction, then
perhaps at a slight tangent!
It was way back in 1996 that I first had the idea of setting up a new league, mainly
due to the frustration experienced by running teams in the Stourbridge League,
frustration of their seemingly 'like it or lump it' attitude towards members and the
elitist attitude of their Committee members.
Convinced I could do better than that, and create a league that actually worked with
and benefited the teams that represented it, I started canvassing the FA about
creating a new league and in September 1998, the Bilston League became a reality,
and one I'm extremely proud of.
As a new league with new ideas, we were able to introduce numerous new initiatives
OTP Dec 2015
Page 4
Issue No. 4
that are now taken for granted, such as cup competitions for all levels of abilities,
autumn and spring leagues so teams don't have to struggle for an entire season, we
were the first league to create an U21s in order to bridge the gap between junior and
adult football, associating ourselves with local charities via the Charity Cups - we
have raised and donated nearly £40,000 to various charities in the last 18 years, but
perhaps our greatest achievement is to build up an association with our referee's to
virtually guarantee an appointed referee on every fixture game, and we've done that
for the last eighteen years! No other junior league - nor most adult leagues - could
make such a claim, and the close working relationship developed over those years
means our refs actually take pride in representing the Bilston League, they trust us to
look after them, and our recruitment and development of young refs, to nurture them
through those first couple of seasons, has been recognised and acknowledged
through both County FA and the Referee's Association, and is something I take great
pride in, and I've said on many occasions, the quality of referee's we can deploy - on
a youth league - is second to none.
Another sense of pride comes via our willingness to oppose the FA if we don't agree
with them! On numerous occasions myself and Mike found ourselves in front of their
Disciplinary or Sanctions panels, refusing to adhere to one decision or instruction or
another, but if it didn't make sense or we didn't feel it was in the best interests of the
League, we wouldn't apply it, and over the years this created a number of issues
where we ended the meeting by agreeing to disagree, which looking back, creates a
wry smile, though was bloody frustrating at the time!
Without doubt, the creation of the Bilston League broke new ground in so many
ways, and it continues to maintain the same standards it was created for, and if
nothing else, it provides a serious option to the other local youth leagues, who once
had a 'monopoly' on where teams were able to play from, for that reason alone, it
can be regarded as a success.
It will be a wrench walking away at the end of the season, but I genuinely believe, for
me and the League, the time is right for change, and I will always be proud of what
we've achieved together, and in the coming months both Mike and myself will be
working with the Committee to establish replacements that will ensure the smooth
hand over of our roles at the seasons end.
Fair to say, it's been emotional, and will be even more so as the season approaches
its conclusion, but I know the right decision has been made, and the good people
remaining, will ensure our progress and standards are maintained.

RINGING THE CHANGES FOR NEXT SEASON
Christmas is the time when our wishes come true and for some of you that may be
the case this year because after almost 20 years Graham and I have decided to call
it a day and we will be handing over the reins at the end of the season.
Fear not though, we will continue to ensure that the league runs as smoothly as
always for the rest of the season. We have both enjoyed our involvement with the
League and everything we have done has been with the sole aim of making the
Bilston League the best Youth football League in the area and we will do our utmost
to ensure that this continues.
We feel though that we have taken the League as far as we can and that it is now
time to hand over to a younger team who, hopefully, will have the energy and
enthusiasm to take the League to the next level.
Graham is finding that his work with Bilston Town is taking up more and more of his
time, meaning he can’t give the League the commitment he believes it deserves. For
my part I am finding that the League is taking more of my time and after nearly
twenty years it’s about time I started to tackle the list of jobs around the house that
Rose keeps reminding me about!
While I am sure it will be a big wrench for both of us we feel it is the right time for the
League and that a new vigour is required to take the League forward and, hopefully,
build on the foundations we have set. We had considered taking more of a “back
seat” role but as you know we are both control freaks and it just would not be fair for
us to remain like back seat drivers looking over the shoulder of the new leadership
so it will be a clean break at the end of the season.
Looking back there have been lots of highs and a few lows since the League kicked
off in 1998 and most of those highs have been at some of the fantastic cup finals we
have enjoyed. I know I shouldn’t single any out in particular but the ones I enjoy the
most are the Merit Shield finals when teams who normally wouldn’t have the chance
to play in a Final at a ground like Bilston Town had the opportunity to savour that
experience. That said the one that sticks out in my memory is the first Under 11s
final between Perton and Codsall United, managed by a young Ian Dyer !, who faced
a team called Kingsley Rovers.
OTP Dec 2015
Page 6
Issue No. 4
The ground was packed out with supporters from both teams, there were
cheerleaders and even a Lion mascot, all that and Ian had even arranged for the
match to be professional video recorded. Don’t forget we didn’t all have videos on
our phones in those days. What a great day that was and as I said we have had
some many more since then.
So how did it all start? After experiencing years of frustration at the way in which
other Leagues operated it was way back in 1996 that Graham had the idea that he
could form a new league for the Wolverhampton area which would be run purely for
the benefit of the teams involved.
After a frantic 18 months of planning, in 1997 Graham asked me to help him with the
application to the Staffs FA for a sanction for a new Youth League and we drew up a
business plan which was duly approved by the FA.
Before the Bilston Partnership Youth Football League came into existence,
Wolverhampton last boasted a junior football league way back in 1980, when the
Wolverhampton Youth Service League folded due to a lack of members. Though
various attempts were made after that to create a new local league in one form or
another, they had all failed to capture the imagination and failed to get beyond the
planning stage.
So although we had convinced the Staffs FA there was a demand for a new league
we knew that the hard work had only just begun and after the sanction for the new
league was accepted we were able to announce and advertise the impending arrival
of the Bilston Partnership Youth Football League.
Initial response to the news certainly indicated that an alternative to the monopoly
that existed at that time was clearly wanted. Created by the now defunct committee
of Springvale Tranco Colts FC, and supported by both Bilston College (now
Wolverhampton City College) and Bilston Town FC – hence the Partnership aspect
of the name, the new Bilston Partnership Youth Football League was formed.
Early meetings in 1998, to advertise the league and its aims, attracted as many as
300 teams, all seemingly wanting this new option, but in September 1998 when the
League was launched, just 67 teams were brave enough to apply to be a part of this
new ‘revolution’.
Those 67 teams were spread over eight age groups, from Under 10s up to U17s,
and in fact due to the lack of numbers the U16s & U17s merged in order to create a
format that would provide a full set of competitive fixtures for the season.
At that time the other local leagues paid little attention to this new ‘noisy neighbour’,
convinced it would fold before that first season was ended, and they might have
been right, were it not for the determination of Graham and his hardworking
Committee and, probably more importantly the desire of the teams themselves to
make it work.
OTP Dec 2015

Issue No. 4
Everyone involved was convinced that a fresh approach was needed to reinvigorate
youth football in the area so it was important to everyone involved that this new
approach worked.
That the league not only survived that first season, but did so with a flourish that
would then allow it to grow. That unity, that determination in our first season was of
vital importance, just as it is to this day, despite member clubs changing and
evolving and Committee personnel moving on and maturing, the basic fundamentals
of what the League was striving for that first year remains of paramount importance.
When drawing up the criteria for what we wanted the Bilston League to represent,
we took on board the concerns that affected the teams we would be catering for, as
well as introducing some initiatives that would separate us from other leagues, ideas
that would give us a better ‘product’, and our members a better service. These
included;
1. Referee recruitment and retention. We wanted an appointed referee on every
fixtured game,
2. A high standard of conduct supported by structured Disciplinary procedure for
all member clubs & teams’
3. Opportunities for success for all ability levels,
4. Flexibility, the ability to change or adapt to any given situation,
5. Respecting and responding to members’ needs, enquiries or concerns.
In all the above categories we have, we believe achieved, or even over achieved
these targets, though they still remain our primary objective and will continue to do
so for as long as Graham and I are involved and we both hope that these aims will
continue to shape the league in the coming seasons.

Hi Mike
Are we allowed to have team mascots at a Cup Final as I run an Under 8s
team and I would like them to be our mascots at our Cup Final?
When will the final be?
Stewart
FC Premier Under 21s
Hi Stewart
We like to make all our finals as special as we can so yes you can have
mascots at your final, just remind us closer to the date of your final.
The cup final schedule will be published in the new year, probably at the
February meeting and, weather permitting the finals will start in early
March. Most finals will be mid week, normally Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday and, hopefully, all finals will be played at Bilston Town.
Cheers
Mike
Hi Mike
Sorry to moan but when I am the home team I make sure I contact my
opposition and the referee at the beginning of the week but I find some
teams don’t give me the same courtesy and leave it until Friday or even
Saturday before contacting me.
Frustrated of Coven
Hi
The Home Team should contact their opposition and Ref to set up the game
by Wednesday evening at the latest and I share your frustration as I get a
number of teams contacting me on Thursday or Friday checking whether
the match is on because they haven’t heard from their opposition.
All I can do is suggest that they ring their opposition themselves and put a
note on the MRF that they weren’t contacted in time.
If teams do not contact their opposition and ref by Wednesday they run the
risk of being fined and may find that their appointed referee is no longer
available.
Cheers
Mike

Mini Soccer - Under 8’s, 9’s and 10’s
For the second feature on Mini Soccer at Bilston College, we will mainly focus on the
Under 9’s and Under 10’s.
Left to Right: Julie, Ian, Jane, Dave and Michelle
Despite the recent inclement weather we continue to play at the College every
weekend. The last few weeks have seen us focus on the first of our competitive
fixtures. The Under 8’s have been engaged in a very tight series of games, resulting
this week in two teams finishing on equal points. As we are not allowed to use goal
difference to decide the final winners, this means that a playoff game will have to be
arranged in the next set of fixtures.
To accommodate the Under 9’s and 10’s teams they have been placed into two
divisions, and as expected this has led to some fantastic games being played.
The Teams that feature in each Division are as follows:
Blue Division
Black Country Wanderers Under 10’s

As stated earlier, this will be decided in a playoff game in a few weeks.
Congratulations to all our mini soccer teams, the spirit in which they have played
these games has been excellent and all players no matter where they finish have
clearly shown that they have improved through the development games, and can
look forward to a second round of competitive games later in the season.

We should be well into the first trophy event of the season but unfortunately the
weather has intervened and we have only played one round of fixtures.
After the false start on 15 November the Autumn Trophy finally kicked off on 22
November and the initial front runners are New Park Village and Springvale Steelers
Wolves. Hat tricks from Devarnta Jackson and Nathan Kabeya and strikes from
Arron Balmer, Tyrece Wedderburn and Karmar McFarlane helped the Village to a 93 victory over Punjab United Sports who replied through goals from Ben Rowley and
James Fairereive and an own goal while double strikes from Billy Betts and Nick
Ngwanya and a single from Yahya Muhammad helped Springvale Wolves beat
Liddar Sports 5-1 with Keane McCalla replying.
Weather permitting the competition will continue over the next three weeks leading
up to the Christmas break and I have changed the published fixtures so that the final
set of fixtures will be played Sunday 10 January. These new fixtures which replace
the published Development Fixtures are:
Bloxwich Rangers v Punjab United Sports
Liddar Sports v New Park Village
The table after one round of fixtures is:

We can publish results of trophy events so the Under 11s have been included in the
weekly report so if you or someone from your team wants to write a short report
about your game I will include it in the press release that goes to the Express & Star
and post it on the league’s website.
( http://www.bpyfl.co.uk/CustomPages/view/413).
I haven’t yet had any under 11s team photos so don’t forget to send me your team
photo (email to mikeball1953@outlook.com). All photos are passed on to the
Express and Star, who are always asking for photos for their “Grass Roots” section,
and published on our website.
Our Under 11s Coordinator is Chris Horton who can be contacted on 01902 825131
or 07988 190693 or email chrishorton24@gmail.com. Chris will be on hand at the

Congratulations to All Star Wanderers who have guaranteed themselves a two top
spot in the Autumn League although whether they remain in top spot depends on the
outcome of the final game between Sedgley White Lions and Punjab United. This
game should have been played last weekend but was postponed due to the
condition of the pitch and has now been rearranged for the 10 January. A victory for
Sedgley will see them take the title but any other result will mean that All Star
Wanderers are crowned champions and Sedgley will finish as runners up.

The main focus of the fixtures over the next few weeks will be the Autumn Shield
which kicked off a couple of weeks ago but due to the weather only that one game
has been played so far which saw A.F.C. Woodcross beat Punjab United.
The draw for the quarter final has brought together the leagues remaining two
representatives, Sedgley White Lions and Springvale Steelers Leopards although
the Leopards will need to overcome Colron Colts in their delayed 2nd round tie on
Sunday if they are to face Sedgley on 3 January.
Report for 1 November 2015 - Mixed fortunes in the Bilston Town Challenge Cup
for the Bilston League sides. Sedgley White Lions marched into Round Three, with
an emphatic 12-1 win at St Joseph’s Colts. Despite Kai Webb grabbing a goal for St
Joseph’s, a Joe Deakin hat trick, two each from Jake Deakin and Ben Field, plus
further goals from Nathan Pritchard, Aaron Whatmore and Cameron Steventon, saw
Sedgley put themselves into the next round. AFC Willenhall went down 0-3 at home
to Silverdale, and All Star Wanderers bowed out to Wyrley Juniors Panthers, going
down 1-5 at home, with Liam Westwood-Rogers getting their consolation strike.
The one Autumn League game played saw Wednesfield FC record a 5-3 home
victory over AFC Woodcross Youth. Goals from Callum Wellsbury, James Lucas,
Ryan McCarthy, and a brace from Lemar Graham secured Wednesfield the points,
while Hope Nkengo netted all three for Woodcross.

reach the conclusion of the campaign. Unbeaten Sedgley White Lions continue their
good form and title challenge, recording a 2-0 win at AFC Willenhall, courtesy of

goals from twins Joe and Jake Deakin either side of half time. Willenhall held out well
against a free scoring Sedgley while table toppers All Star Wanderers got back to
winning ways with a 5-2 home win over St Joseph’s Colts. Cameron Sheldon and
Ellis Dean struck for the visitors, but a hat trick from Maxwell Corinaldi and a brace
from Mark Harper secured the points for Wanderers. The All Stars hold a two point
lead over Sedgley but their rivals have a game in hand.
Report for 15 November - For the first time this season the weather had an impact
on the fixtures which resulted in all of the quarter final ties in the Jamie Mason Cup
being postponed. Indeed the only game to survive was the first Merit Shield group
game between AFC Woodcross and Punjab United Sports which saw the hosts run
out 7-2 winners to take an early lead in the group. A four goal salvo from Callum
Sedgewick-Dean, a double blast from Thomas Benton and a single strike from Kerim
Ayas secured the points for Woodcross with Taran Sanghera bagging both goals in
reply for Punjab.
Report for 22 November - All Star Wanderers completed their Autumn League
programme with a 3-1 victory over Punjab United Sports in another close contest. A
double blast from Tyrone Bull and a single from Mark Harper secured the points for
the Wanderers with Taran Singh Sanghera replying for Punjab.
The All Stars hold a two point lead over Sedgley White Lions who have one game
left to play and Sedgley must be favourites to take the title after they maintained their
unbeaten record with a 6-2 victory at St Joseph’s Colts. Cameron Sheldon and man
of the match Finlay Small scored for the Colts but a brace from Cameron Stevenson
and goals from Jake Deakin, Joe Deakin, James Elwell and Ben Field made sure the
White Lions went home with maximum points and their title hopes intact. AFC
Willenhall travelled to Tettenhall Rock and after a very entertaining and sporting
game it was the hosts who took the points thanks to a double strike from Frank
Banbery.
Report for 29 November - Only one game beat the conditions and what a game it
was with the teams sharing the spoils in a ten goal thriller. St Joseph’s Colts
travelled to AFC Woodcross and came away with a share of the points in a 5-5 draw
thanks to a four goal salvo from hotshot Cameron Sheldon and a strike from Joshua
Peabody which were matched by a brace apiece from Callum Sedgwick Dean and
Kerim Ayas and a goal from Hope Nkengo for Woodcross.

UNDER 13s
There has been a fair amount of disruption to the fixtures this season. We lost two
teams, Emerald and Willenhall United, just before the start of the season and then
lost Heath Town United and Liddar Sports just after the season started.
When Liddar withdrew to ensure there would be sufficient fixtures for the season we
introduced a Super League involving all teams. However it is clear from the first five
Super League games played so far that the gulf in ability between teams is too great
to make this a viable competition. This has been exacerbated by Springvale Lions
folding.
Our aim as always is to provide a full season of competitive fixtures and it is clear
that whilst the Super League would provide each team with ten fixtures there would
be too many uncompetitive one sided gamed which is not helpful to either team
involved.
We did receive an enquiry from an Under 13s team from another league who were
interested in moving over in the new year however, while the team themselves are
still keen to move their club have quite rightly said that they must honour their
commitment to that league for the rest of the season and should only consider
moving leagues after the season ends.
Whilst this would have given us an extra team it was apparent that they would have
only been suitable to join the First Division.
This leaves us with eleven teams for the remainder of the season and at a meeting
with all Under 13s teams on 6 December it was decided to cancel the Super League
and replace it with a Spring League Premier and First Divisions.
However, whilst, weather permitting, all but one of the Premier Division fixtures will
have been completed by 10 January there will be nine outstanding First Division
fixtures so it is unlikely that the promotion spots will be have resolved. This means
that if we wait until the First Division fixtures are completed we would not be able to
start the Spring Leagues until well into February.
That said, based on results to date the most likely scenario is that Punjab United and
Coven United will take the top two places so we could agree a spring league format
based on that assumption.
The Spring League would involve 10 weeks of league fixture and excluding Easter
Sunday there are 14 Sundays between 17 January and the end of April so we would
need to start the Spring League as soon as possible if we are to avoid a significant
number of mid week games.
At the meeting the Under 13s teams agreed to the following Spring League
Divisions:

Premier Division
Coven United
New Park Village
Punjab United
Sedgley White Lions
Springvale Steelers Pumas
Wednesbury Sports Union
First Division
Druid F.C.
F.C. Perton
St Joseph’s Colts
Springvale Steelers Cougars
Wednesfield & Woodend RBL
In addition to completing the Autumn League fixtures teams will play each other
home and away in the Spring League, providing a further 8/10 fixtures.
To provide extra fixtures we will also hold a group based charity cup. This will involve
the teams being allocated randomly to three groups, two groups will have four teams
and one group three teams. The runners up from the two larger groups will play off to
decide which team will join the group winners in the semi finals. We will also hold
Divisional knock out cup competitions for the Spring League Divisions and, weather
permitting, we will explore the possibility of holding a traditional Merit Shield
competition towards the end of the season.
On the footballing side going into last weekend Sedgley White Lions continued to top
the Premier Division table, five points ahead of New Park Village and Springvale
Pumas but they both have a game in hand although the 1-1 draw between the
Village and Pumas put a big dent in both teams’ title aspirations. Wednesbury Sports
Union picked up their first league points with a victory at FC Perton leaving Perton
still looking for some success in the Premier Division.
Punjab United have opened up a seven point cushion at the top of the First Division
although Druid in second spot have a game in hand but the real threat to Punjab are
Coven United who have three games in hand over Punjab in which to make up the
nine point deficit and it is likely that the game between Punjab and Coven will
determine the destination of the champion’s trophy. St Joseph’s Colts and
Wednesfield RBL have both picked up victories leaving a revamped Springvale
Cougars still looking for their first league points of the season.

We have reached the semi final stage of the Jenny Chapman League Cup where
following Wednesfield RBL’s exciting quarter final penalty shoot out victory over
Druid are “rewarded” with a home tie against Sedgley White Lions. The other semi
sees Springvale Pumas, 4-0 winners at Wednesbury Sports Union, entertain New
Park Village, who despatched St Joseph’s Colts in the quarters.
The Premier Division Cup Final will see New Park Village take on Springvale Pumas
after the Pumas impressive 5-3 semi final victory over Sedgley White Lions while the
First Division Final will be between Punjab United and Coven United after Coven
overcame Wednesfield RBL in the quarter finals.
The Bilston League are well represented in the forthcoming quarter finals of the
Bilston Town Challenge Cup where Coven United entertain Bewdley Town while
Springvale Pumas host Wightwick Warriors and FC Perton are visited by Trysull
Tigers East while Sedgley White Lions entertain Trysull Tigers West and we wish all
our teams every success in the competition.
WEEKLY REPORTS
Report for 1 November 2015
A decent return from the Bilston League teams competing in the Bilston Town
Challenge Cup, while Wednesfield & Wood End RBL went down at home to
Wightwick Warriors, 0-4, and Druid FC lost out to League colleagues FC Perton, 2-4,
there was success for Coven United, Sedgley White Lions and Springvale Pumas. In
the all Bilston clash, goals from Ethan Jones, Alex Staley, Ben Daily and Josh Li
earned FC Perton a 4-2 home win over Druid, with Derry Peeler and Josh Smith on
target for the visitors. Coven United travelled to Stourbridge Juniors, where a brace
from Patrick Ngove and a third goal from Andrew Rhodes secured a 3-1 victory.
Springvale Pumas also enjoyed an away day victory, 9-1 winners at Wyrley Juniors
Lions, the goals coming from Ravinder Singh, Chad Smith, Jack Snoddy, Jay
Beasley, Josh Lewis, James Guest and a Brandon Sellick hat trick. Big winners of
the day though were Sedgley White Lions, who recorded a 20-0 home win over
Tipton Town Lions. Tierre Lindo-McKenzie, Harry Smith and Kieran Gelder each
helped themselves to four goals, Dennis Okoduwa added a brace, completed by
singles from Kyle Hodgkinson, Harvey Cooper, Dan Hickman, Dan Cresswell,
George Stones and Jack Merrick.
As well as the Cup ties, we saw two league fixtures. In the Premier Division, New
Park Village returned from Wednesbury Sports Union with all three points, following
an 8-2 victory. Amari Williams, Kieron Pichart, Tyrese Johnson and Dante
Hawthorne each netting a brace, while Lachian Clemmens and Cassius Johnson
replied for Wednesbury.
In Division One, Punjab United hit four without reply at St Joseph’s Colts. A brace
from Taylor Hocking and strikes from Jai Aaron Banga and Munrajan Rai securing a
4-0 victory.
In the Jennie Chapman League Cup, Springvale Pumas progress into Round Three,
after two goals from Jack Snoddy and singles from Brandon Sellick and Chad Smith
secured a 4-0 victory at Wednesbury Sports Union.

In the Under 13s Super League, seven appeared the magic number, with New Park
Village enjoying a 7-1 home win over St Joseph’s Colts, with Dante Hawthorne
grabbing a hat trick, and both Tyreece Johnson and Amari Ebanks-Williams getting a
brace apiece. Cameron Garner netted for the Saints. FC Perton also bagged seven,
without reply, away to Springvale Cougars, Alex Staley and Guiliame Thomas netting
a brace apiece, with further goals coming from Ethan Jones, Ben Dailly and Joshua
Blake.
In the First Division we saw another two 7-0 score lines. In the top of the table clash
Punjab United entertained Druid FC, and sent them packing with a 7-0 victory, with
Arjan Singh Gill grabbing a hat trick, the other goals coming from Jai Aaron Banga,
Jayden Bogle, Paveneer Singh Andhey and Taylor Cocking. Third placed Coven
United maintained their unbeaten record by beating Wednesfield & Wood End RBL
7-0, with Patrick Ngove hitting a hat trick, Kye Blenheim adding a brace, and Rafael
Bandarrinha-Almedia and Andrew Rhodes completing the scoring
Springvale Pumas will face New Park Village in the final of the Premier Division Cup
after they survived an exciting contest with Sedgley White Lions. The Pumas took
the lead with a well taken goal from Brandon Sellick but the lead was short lived as
Sedgley were back on level terms just a minute later with a strike from Harvey
Cooper. After a brilliant move Chad Smith restored the Pumas advantage. Sedgley
bounced back and a second goal from Harvey Cooper put them level going into the
break. The second half was equally as exciting as the first and it was the Pumas who
struck first when Brandon Sellick shot over the keeper after a fine solo run to bag his
second of the game and give the Pumas the lead. The Pumas extended their lead
when Josh Lewis poked the ball over the line after a scramble in the box. Sedgley
pressed hard and were rewarded with a third goal from a strike by Tierre McKenzie.
Sedgley continued to press for an equaliser but a 25 yard screamer from Jake
Edwards just minutes from time put the game to bed and ensured the Pumas
progressed to the final with a 5-3 victory.
In the Super League New Park Village came away from Druid F.C. with the points
after a 12-1 victory made it two wins out of two. Jordan Aldridge bagged a
consolation for Druid. In the Premier Division there was also an away day victory for
Wednesbury Sports Union when they travelled to FC Perton, picking up their first
points of the campaign with an impressive 7-0 victory. Cassius Johnson and Joshua
Harris bagged a brace apiece with strikes from Dempsey Dukes, Reno Velleanie and
Louis Cushley competing the scoring for the Union.
Punjab United Sports extended their lead at the top of the First Division after a 5-1
victory over a revamped Springvale Cougars. Jaiden Hurlin was on target for the
visitors but a double strike from Jai Banga and singles from Jayden Bogle, Saavan
Singh Khosa and Kymani Webster secured the points for the league leaders.
Wednesfield & Woodend RBL picked up their first points of the campaign with a 3-0
victory at St Joseph’s Colts.

The delayed First Division Cup Final between Wednesfield & Woodend RBL and
Coven United saw Coven progress to the final where they will face Punjab United
Sports. A double strike from Patrick Ngove and singles from Andrew Rhodes and
Kye Blenheim secured the 4-0 victory for the visitors.
In the top of the table clash in the Premier Division Sedgley White Lions were
victorious over visitors New Park Village, winning by a 6 – 1 score line. The game
was a real spectacle as play switched from end to end as both teams battled to get
on top. Sedgley took an early lead when Tierre Lindo-McKenzie broke clear of his
marker after being played in by Jack Merrick and slid the ball home. Soon afterwards
Jack Merricks corner was powered home by Harvey Cooper with a bullet header.
Just before the interval break Sedgley worked the ball from one end of the pitch to
the other care of Harry Smith and Harvey Cooper who teed up Dan Cresswell to
crash the ball into the roof of the net. The half time score didn’t reflect how well New
Park had played and they started the second half the better team but Sedgley caught
them on the counter attack and Dan Creswell converted from close range. New Park
reduced the arrears with a well placed Connor Benton penalty and the result was
back in the balance but Sedgley ensured victory with further goals from Jack Merrick
and Harvey Cooper to open up a three point lead at the top of the table although
their title rivals New Park Village and Springvale Pumas both have a game in hand,
The Pumas kept their title challenge alive with a narrow 3-2 victory at Wednesbury
Sports Union. Lachlan Clemmens and Kyle Brookes were on target for the Union but
it wasn’t quite enough as goals from Jack Beddow, Chad Smith and Joshua Kilford
secured the points for the Pumas.
In the Super League a four goal salvo from Alex Staley, a treble from Razza Jalloh
and strikes from Ethan Jones, Ben Daly and Josh Li helped FC Perton overcome
visitors St Joseph’s Colts 10-0.
In the Premier Division leaders Sedgley White Lions beat FC Perton 10-2 but despite
the score line this was a thoroughly entertaining match of end to end football played
in a tremendous spirt. Sedgley took the lead when Tierre Lindo-McKenzie broke
clear and netted from close range and doubled their advantage when Harvey Cooper
slotted home from 10 yards out. Perton replied hitting Sedgley on the counter attack
with a well taken goal from Caden Round. Sedgley bounced back and raced to a 5 –
1 lead care of goals from Dan Hickman, Harvey Cooper and a thunderbolt from fully
30 yards out from Alfie Jacques. Perton wouldn’t lie down and were rewarded with a
goal from Ethan Jones. Sedgley goalie Joel Adderley made a couple of good saves
and Callum Parkes the Perton keeper, who was a clear man of the match, made a
string of outstanding saves. In the second half Sedgley added further goals from
Juan Piara, Dan Hickman, Harvey Cooper (2) and Kieran Gelder to finish 10 – 2
victors but on another day if Perton had taken their chances the result would have
been a lot closer. The other Premier game was a thrilling tie between New Park
Village and Springvale Pumas, with honours ending even, the game ending 1-1, after
a new Park Village goal from Amari Ebanks-Williams was cancelled out by a Pumas
strike from Brandon Sellick.

Congratulations to St Joseph’s Saints who remained undefeated during the Autumn
campaign to be crowned Second Division Champions. I’m sure Roger Stanton would
have been very proud of you. The Saints will be joined in the First Division by
Silverdale Eagles who finished as runners up, four points ahead of third placed
Woden. Wyrley Juniors can leapfrog Woden into fourth spot if they win their final
Autumn League game against Heath Town United.
It’s been a great autumn for the St Joseph’s stable as the Colts currently top the First
Division and, having completed their fixtures, are guaranteed promotion but will have
to wait for the outcome of the final game between Black Country Ravens and
Ashmore Park Rangers before they will know whether they will be collecting winners
or runners up medals. This game has been rearranged for Sunday 20 December and
will replace the scheduled Merit Shield game between these two sides.
Sedgley White Lions, who have also completed their fixtures, currently sit in second
place just one point behind St Joseph’s and one point above APR with Black Country
Ravens one point further adrift. So if APR beat the Ravens then APR will be
champions and St Joseph’s runners up while a victory for the Ravens will see them
finish level with the Colts and we will need a play off to determine who are crowned
champions. A draw between APR and Black Country will hand the title to St Joseph’s
and will mean a play off between Sedgley and APR for the runners up trophy. A very
exciting end to the Autumn campaign.
At the other end of the table Lane Head Colts, who have had a torrid time of late but
have bravely soldiered on, playing with minimal players, have been relegated to the
Second Division while, sadly we saw the demise of Parkfield Panthers who resigned
from the league due to a lack of players once they had completed their First Division
commitments.
It’s even more complicated in the Premier Division where current leaders Old Wulfs
North have completed their fixtures but are just one point ahead of Rostance
Edwards, who have yet to play Darlaston Town after their game was postponed last
Sunday. This game has been rearranged for 10 January.
Silverdale Spartans, with three games to play, are in joint third place with New Park
Village, who have two games left, and are just three points behind Rostance. So the
game between these to, which was postponed last Sunday will be crucial to
determining the shape of the final league table. This game has been rearranged for
10 January and will replace the scheduled Merit Shield game between these two
teams.
The Spartans and New Park also have yet to play Old Wulfs South who have four
games to play and, could finish in the top two if they win all of their remaining games
so the permutations and possibilities are too great to contemplate.

At the other end of the table Bloxwich Rangers, with two games to play are five
points adrift at the bottom and look destined to be relegated to the First Division but
with four teams sharing six points in the other relegation place it’s just as
complicated as at the top of the table. Bustleholme have just one game, against Old
Wulfs South on 10 January, to add to their points tally while Gunners have two
games, Darlaston three games and Old Wulfs South, who could still finish as
champions, have four games to collect enough points needed to avoid relegation.

SILVERDALE STRIKERS UNDER 15s
We have reached the semi final stage of the Chris Lees (League) Cup and going into
the draw are Old Wulfs North who had a successful trip to First Division Bentley
Community Warriors, Gunners who knocked out their Second Division hosts Wyrley
Juniors and New Park Village, who overcame their First Division visitors Black
Country Ravens. The remaining semi final berth will be taken by either Silverdale
Spartans or Old Wulfs South, who progressed to the quarter finals with a comfortable
victory at Darlaston Town.
It’s still early days in the Merit Shield with just two games played in Group 1 where
New Park Village beat Rostance Edwards while Gunners and Old Wulfs North
shared the points in a 4-4 draw. In Group 2 Old Wulfs South top the group after
victories over Sedgley White Lions and Ashmore Park Rangers while in Group 3 St
Joseph’s Colts, Silverdale Strikers and Bloxwich Rangers all have three points after
St Joseph’s beat the Strikers, who then edge the points in a nine goal thriller with
Bustleholme while Bloxwich Rangers took the points with a 6-4 victory over St
Joseph’s. Just one game played so far in Group 4 where St Joseph’s Saints beat
Silverdale Eagles while in Group 5 Springvale Steelers top the table after their
narrow victory over Great Barr Harriers while the game between Great Barr and Park
Hill ended honours even.
The League is well represented in this coming Sunday’s third round ties in the Staffs
County Cup where Silverdale Spartans travel to Chasetown while Wyrley Juniors
make the trip to Betley Youth and there is also an away tie for Rostance Edwards
who visit Biddulph United. The rest of the league’s representatives have home ties
with New Park Village playing host to Madeley White Star while Ashmore Park
Rangers entertain Stafford Town, Gunners are visited by Four Oaks and St Joseph’s
Saints are hosts to Lichfield Round Table. There is also one all Bilston League clash
where Black Country Ravens travel to Bloxwich Rangers. We wish all our teams

every success in this prestigious competition which was won by Sporting Khalsa last
season.

silverware. The Spartans maintained their title challenge with a 5-1 victory at
Bloxwich Rangers. Tinashe Kanyayi was on the score sheet for the hosts but a hat
trick from Kane Lewis and goals from Jake Barker and Lewis Wise secured the
points for Silverdale. Bustleholme picked up another victory when they entertained

strikes from Ryan Perry and Dylan Kingdom for the visitors.

their fixture programme with a 6-4 victory over Bentley Community Warriors to move
to the top of the table. Double blasts from Charlie Stanistreet and Manvir Soray and
singles from Callum Marcu and Jordan Wilding secured the vital win with a hat trick

scoring. Andrew Johnson and Ryan Hackett netted for the Cobras.

enough to secure runners up spot in the Second Division behind St Joseph’s Saints
and after an eight goal thriller they travelled home as runners up having ended the
Colts hopes of promotion. A double strike from Connor Yates and singles from
Jospin Mangolo and Jack Plant gave the Colts some hope but goals from Junior
Enongene, Josh Hickinbottom, Ellis Attwood and Thomas Green gave the Eagles the
point they needed. Woden Warriors got back to winning ways with a 6-0 victory at
Park Hill Boys with a double strike from Jas Sarah and singles from Simran Sandhu,

from Dan Hadley, Carrick Chaney and Josh Szabo helped Old Wulfs South to a 4-1

DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE
Disciplinary
Report
December 2015
Welcome to this month’s Disciplinary Report.
Compared to the start of the season, the past few weeks have been relatively quiet –
thankfully!
Members of the Disciplinary Committee have met for a second time however to
decide on a number of cases/situations presented to us.
Our decisions were as follows:
Silverdale Eagles Under 15s: (inappropriate behaviour of Team officials during and
after a match) fined £25 and warned as to future conduct.
Wyrley Juniors Under 15s: (inappropriate behaviour towards Referee) fined £25, 2
Disciplinary Points and warned as to future conduct
Woden Warriors Under 15s: (abuse towards opposition Club Official) fined £25 and
warned as to future conduct
Ashmore Park Rangers Under 15s: (inappropriate behaviour of Club Assistant
Referee towards Match Referee) fined £25 2 Disciplinary points and warned as to
future conduct.
So, as you will perhaps conclude from the above, we do take the standards we set
and expect seriously and, anyone failing to adhere to those standards will be finding
themselves “invited for discussion” – which, as I’ve said before, can be costly!
It’s disappointing (to say the least) that all of the above issues were caused by adults
– not the kids themselves. To be honest, that’s a crap situation! As adults, we’re
supposed to be role models for the kids under our guidance and I wonder what kind
of example is being set?

Maybe it’s time to remind everyone involved in running, watching and being part of
Youth Football of something I saw on the demon that is Facebook (it is useful for
SOME things!).
Someone posted a picture of a notice at the side of a junior football pitch that read:
Please Remember
These are kids
This is a game
The coaches are volunteers
The referees are human
This is not the World Cup
Isn’t it time to “go back to basics” and remember that we’re all involved in KIDS
football – not the high paying Premier League/Professional game and start behaving
in a way that reflects the ethos of junior football? Just a thought!
Hopefully, we can now get back on track and enjoy the rest of the season relatively
“discipline free” – we’ll wait and see!
On a separate note, all outstanding signed Codes of Conduct should’ve been back in
at the December meeting as reminded by Graham at last meeting and at previous
meetings. We’ve already given teams an extra month’s grace to get them in so, to
those Clubs who haven’t returned them by December meeting, sorry, it’ll cost you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all involved in our teams and with the
BPYFL

DISCIPLINARY PENALTY POINTS
NAUGHTY
LIST
The Disciplinary Code penalises teams who fail to maintain the standards of conduct
and behaviour set out in the Code of Conduct.
Penalty points are awarded for breeches of League Rules, or misconduct, with the
number of points varying, (see table below) depending on the severity of the offence.
Each team holds its own account, so a club with multiple teams will hold multiple
‘accounts’. Thus one ‘bad’ team would not necessarily reflect on the whole Club.
Every team starts with a clean sheet, but, if over a season, a team accumulates 30+
points, that team will be invited to a Disciplinary Meeting to justify such a total, and
possibly be charged with bringing the League into disrepute.
Likewise, every further ten points accumulated could incur a similar charge, and
should a team exceed the 50-point mark could have points deducted or may even be
expelled from the League.
PENALTY POINTS TABLE/SCALE
Proven Manager/spectator misconduct
Manager/ spectator cautions
Player dismissals (as per FA misconduct guidelines)
Player cautions (as per FA misconduct guidelines)

UNDER 16s
Going into the weekends fixtures the League was still well represented in the
prestigious Staffs County Under 16 Sunday Cup and with most teams being drawn
against teams from other League’s we could see as many as eight teams in the
fourth round, The third round draw sees Gunners travel to Waterhouses while AFC
Bilston make the trip to Chasetown, Wednesbury Sports Union visit Whittington
Leopards and Silverdale Vipers go to Shamblers Juniors. There are home ties for
New Park Village, who entertain Lakeside, Cresswell Wanderers, who play host to
Bradwell Bombers and Legion Lions, who are visited by Hedesford Town while
Charles United host Bilston League colleagues Coven United. We wish all our teams
every success and hope that they can emulate last season’s winners New Park
Village.
In the Birmingham County Cup we are represented by Boldmere St Michael who
beat Bilston League colleagues Great Barr Harriers 1-0 to earn a trip to Lye Town in
round 3 and we hope Boldmere can go all the way and retain the trophy won by
Dudley Sports last season.
In the League Boldmere remain the team to beat in the Premier Division as they
continue to top the table with maximum points. Boldmere have a two point lead over
Silverdale Vipers, who have played a game more while New Park Village are three
points adrift of the leaders. This three have opened up a six point gap over the
chasing pack which is headed by AFC Bilston although Wednesbury Sports Union,
who also have a perfect record, have games in hand in which to make close the gap.
Tipton Youth, who are well up on their fixtures, have a victory plus an impressive 0-0
draw against Silverdale Vipers to their credit while Legion Lions picked up their first
points of the campaign with a 5-0 victory over Tipton. This leaves Coven United still
looking for their first league win of the season.
In the First Division Gunners maintained their 100% record to top the table and open
up a five point gap over Great Barr Harriers, who have a game in hand while third
place is shared by Cresswell Wanderers and Wednesbury Sports Union Rangers
who are three points adrift of Great Barr. Wood Green Athletic and Charles United
are four points further behind while Sedgley White Lions are the Division’s draw
specialists having drawn half of their games so far. Punjab United are having a
creditable season with one win and three draws so far while Salisbury Rangers, with
games in hand over all of their colleagues have amassed five points leaving new
comers Shelfield United as the only team yet to pick up a point.
In the domestic cup competitions the quarter final draw for the Jim Rickhuss League
Cup was made at the November meeting and sees the First Division’s lone
representative Charles United entertain Wednesbury Sports Union. The full draw is:
Gunners v New Park Village
Silverdale Vipers v Coven United
Charles United v Wednesbury Sports Union
Boldmere St Michael v AFC Bilston

Issue No. 4
The quarter finals of the Premier Division Cup saw all away wins with Boldmere St
Michael cruising past Coven United while Silverdale Vipers knocked out Legion
Lions and Wednesbury Sports Union emerged victorious from a seven goal thriller at
AFC Bilston. They are joined in the semis by Tipton Youth who were awarded their
tie when Sporting Khalsa folded.
In the First Division Cup there were comfortable victories for Wood Green, over
visitors Wednesbury Sports Union Rangers and Gunners, at Salisbury Rangers but it
took extra time and penalties to separate Cresswell and Sedgley White Lions with
visitors Sedgley winning the penalty shoot out 5-4. They are joined in the semis by
Great Barr who were awarded the tie when AFC Woodcross folded.

WEEKLY REPORTS
In the Staffs FA Sunday Cup, Wednesbury Sports Union were the big winners,
progressing to Round Three in emphatic style, recording a 16-0 home win over
Shelfield United. Jordan Henry led the way, scoring four, Blake Archer bagged a hat
trick, and there were doubles for Reuben Ahmed, Lawrence Best and Tyrese
Duffield, while Owen Chambers, Josh Richardson and Josh Atkins all chipped in with
a goal apiece. Stable mates, Wednesbury Sports Union Rangers couldn’t make it a
double celebration, being on the end of a 9-0 defeat at Wednesfield. Gunners FC

enjoyed a 6-0 win at Wyrley Juniors Panthers, with Billy Cartwright netting three,
Jake Bailey two, and Dishon Roberts completing the scoring. New Park Village
travelled to Four Oaks Rangers, returning as 4-1 victors, with a goal each from De
Sousa and Mature, and a brace from Reon Abrams. Coven United cruised into
Round Three with a 7-0 home win over Brereton Town, courtesy of goals from
Jackson Game, George Davis, Ashley Sanders, and a double each for Tyreque
Douglas and Levi Matthews. Cresswell Wanderers went to Bilbrook Juniors, and
after the scores ended 3-3 after extra time, held their nerve to win the penalty shoot
out, 7-6. Silverdale Vipers went a goal down at PRD United, but rallied to make the
final score 2-2, then went onto to win 4-2 in extra time, Dan Bishop notching a hat
trick, with Dylan Spragg the other scorer.
One game in the Premier Division, with leaders Boldmere St Michaels extending that
lead with a 6-2 victory at Tipton Youth. Ben Morris and Kyle Norton netted for Tipton,
but a hat trick from Kasen Peace, and singles from Rio Blake-Hinds, Tom Harper
and Aiden Moseley, secured the win for Boldmere.
In Division One, Wood Green Athletic enjoyed an 8-0 home win over Salisbury
Rangers, Connor Williams netting four, assisted by goals from Corey Titley, Josh
O’Toole, Samuel Millington and Rajan Singh Natt. It was honours even between
Sedgley White Lions and Punjab United, the game ending 2-2. Josh Turner and
Lucas Morgan netted for Wood Green, but the goals cancelled out by strikes from
Roshan Balu and Jack Franklin.
Not such a god return for Bilston League teams in the Birmingham Cup, despite Jack
Franklin hitting a hat trick for Punjab United, they went down 3-6 at Belvedere Park
Reds. Salisbury Rangers entertained Castle Juniors, but bowed out, 3-7, despite
goals from Jack Plant, Adam Timmins and Paul Johnson. Wood Green Athletic
travelled to Lye Town, but went down 1-3, with a Connor Williams goal their only
consolation.
In the Premier Division, with leaders Boldmere St Michaels on County Cup duty,
although their game was postponed, Silverdale Vipers had the chance to move into
joint top spot when they travelled to lowly Tipton Youth but an impressive display
from the Tipton defence saw them pick up their first point of the campaign in a 0-0
draw. New Park Village came out on top in a high scoring game against AFC Bilston,
winning 7-5, Griffiths netting twice, with further goals coming from Cooke, Namiq,
Bolger, Gayden and Mature. In reply, Fieldhouse bagged a hat trick, plus goals from
Fryer and Tinsley.
In Division One, leaders Gunners FC maintained their 100% record as they enjoyed
a 6-1 home victory over Charles United, with goals coming from Billy Cartwright,
Dean Hillback, Jacob Kirwan, Ryan Wain, and a double from Jake Bailey. Danny
Kumar netted for Charles. Cresswell Wanderers, in joint second spot also hit six, but
without reply, as they entertained Shelfield United, Aiden Davies and Reiss Till both
getting two, the other two coming from Daniel Caunt and Jack Green. There were
ten goals scored when second placed Great Bar Harriers travelled to Wednesbury
Sports Union with the Harriers, with the visitors netting six of them, via a Kona
Campbell hat trick, and strikes from Lewis Beale, Matthew May and Nathan Graham.

Matthew Gill, Liam Dawson, and a brace from Alexander Coley, was Wednesbury’s
reply.
Boldmere St Michaels continue to fly the flag for the Bilston League teams in the
Birmingham County FA Cup after Kasen Peace bagged the all important goal in their
delayed second round tie against Bilston League colleagues Great Barr Harriers.
AFC Bilston are also through to the third round of their County Cup after a double
blast from Connor Fieldhouse saw them win their delayed Staffs County FA Cup
second round tie at Cooksey Colts 2-1.
New Park Village maintained their 100% record when they travelled to Coven United
and the 5-3 victory saw them move to within 3 points of Premier Division leaders
Boldmere with a game in hand. A hat trick from Kian Griffiths, a strike from Miles
Lesney and an own goal secured maximum points for the Village despite a double
strike from Leightye Wilson and a goal from Ashley Sanders for Coven while Legion
Lions opened their points tally for the season with an impressive 5-0 victory over
Tipton Youth capped by a hat trick from Josh Macgregor and a brace from Soms
Sibanda.
The top of the table clash in the First Division saw leaders Gunners travel to second
placed Cresswell Wanderers and open up an eleven point gap at the top of the table
after an odd goal in five victory. Goals from Aiden Davies and Daniel Caunt for the
Wanderers just weren’t enough to deny the leaders maximum points and ensure the
Gunners 100% record remains intact. With promotion rivals Great Barr Harriers away
on county cup duty Cresswell remain in joint second spot where they are joined by
Wednesbury Sports Union Rangers who enjoyed a 5-3 victory over visitors Wood
Green Athletic. Goals from Liam Dawson, Alex Harvey, Liam Wright, Owen Aldersley
and Frank Mataranyika secured the points for the Rangers with Corey Titley, Connor
Williams and Rajan Singh Natt replying for the visitors.
There was a welcome away day victory for Punjab United Sports when they travelled
to Shelfield United. After a closely contested game goals Jack Franklin, Simran
Uppal and Satnam Singh Jandu gave Punjab the points despite Jack Birch bagging
a brace for Shelfield and it was honours even when Sedgley White Lions entertained
Salisbury Rangers with the teams sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw after a goal from
Mark Chelbec for the White Lions was cancelled out by a strike from Emmanuel
Aryee for the visitors.
In the second round of the Premier Division Cup, Boldmere St Michaels made light
work of progressing to Round Three, securing a 9-1 away win at Coven United.
Tyrique Douglas netted for Coven, but hat tricks from both Tom Harper and Kasen
Peace, plus a brace from Rio Blake-Hines, with a goal from Curtis Bullock
completing the scoring, saw Boldmere march on. A Daniel Bishop hat trick saw
Silverdale Vipers safely through, with a 3-0 win at Legion Lions, Wednesbury Sports
Union join them in the next round, after a thrilling 4-3 win at AFC Bilston. Connor
Fieldhouse, Ryan Tinsley and Mason Hodgson were all on target for Bilston, but
OTP Dec 2015

goals from Jordan Henry, Tyrese Duffield, Reuben Ahmed and George Hill, saw
Wednesbury go through.
In the First Division Cup, Wood Green Athletic booked a Semi Final place with a 6-0
home win over Wednesbury Sports Union Rangers, Corey Titley, Rajan Natt, Josh
O’Toole and Brandon Fryer all bagged a goal apiece, with Connor Williams netting a
brace. Gunners FC join them there, after a 7-1 victory at Salisbury Rangers. Jake
Bailey and Ryan Wain each grabbed a double, with Billy Cartwright, Jordan Parkes
and Dishon Roberts adding a goal each. Tom Weaver netted for Salisbury. A thrilling
game between Cresswell Wanderers and Sedgley White Lions ended all square
after extra time, 1-1, with Sedgley edging the penalty shoot out, 5-4.
It was a great game for the neutral when Tipton Youth entertained New Park Village
in the Premier Division. The Village were looking to extend their 100% record and
quickly raced into a 3-0 lead half time lead from two heads from corners and a great
20 yard strike with Hamaz Nami bagging a brace and Kieron Cook the other goal. In
the second half it was a different story as Tipton came alive and played some great
football to take the points with a strike from Ben Morris and a hat trick from Liam
Davies who notched the winner in the last minute to clinch Tipton’s first win of the
season. A great performance from both sides and a great advert for youth football.
In Division One, a solitary goal from Ravel Wallace proved enough to secure a 1-0
for Charles United, away to Punjab United. Great Barr Harriers travelled to Shelfield
United, where a single strike from Matthew May decided the game, Great Barr
winning 1-0.
AFC Bilston continue their impressive form with a 3-1 home win over Tipton Youth in
the Premier Division, Liam Fryer, Liam Murphy and Ryan Saroy each getting a goal,
with Tom Summers replying for Tipton. Silverdale Vipers travelled to Coven United,
returning home with the spoils after a 4-1 win, both Connor Westley and Daniel
Bishop grabbing a double, while Leon Bastable netted for Coven.
In Division One, Cresswell Wanderers enjoyed a 5-0 romp at Charles United,
courtesy of goals from Jack Green, Daniel Caunt, Reece Barfield, and a brace from
Aiden Davies. A solitary goal from Rajan Singh Natt was enough to give Wood
Green Athletic victory over Punjab United, 1-0. Salisbury Rangers edged a close
game at home to Sedgley White Lions, where goals from Jack Plant and Tom
Weaver secured a 2-1 victory, with Jamie Turner netting for the visitors.

FIXTURES & FREE WEEKS
You are reminded that the only week there won’t be any fixtures is Sunday 27
December. However, I have been informed by Wolverhampton City Council that
parks’ pitches will also be closed on Sunday 3 January so I will not be producing
fixtures for that Sunday either. If however you are really keen and want a fixture on
either of those dates then please let me know and I will see what I can do.
There will be fixtures on all other Sundays including half term and Easter so if these
dates are likely to be difficult for you then please let me know that you need a free
week.
Teams are entitled to two free weeks per season but I will try to accommodate more
if at all possible. You must provide a minimum of 28 days’ notice for a free week but
the more notice you can give the better. I have already received requests for a free
week next Easter. To request a free week please either text or email me on 07538
178520 or email mikeball1953@outlook.com. I will acknowledge your request. If you
don’t receive a reply from me then I haven’t received your message and your
request has not been approved.
Forthcoming fixtures are published at each Monthly League meeting. The fixtures
have to be finalised two weeks before the meeting to enable sufficient time to
allocate refs and print the fixtures ready for the meeting. Please bear that in mind
when you are requesting a free week.
Due to team numbers not all teams will necessarily have a fixture each week. The
fixtures will show all teams that are “Available for a fixture” or “Free Week – not
available for a fixture”. If circumstances change and it is possible for me to arrange a
fixture for “Available” teams I will do so so please let me know if you need a free
week even if you are the “Available” team that week.
If I have to make changes to the fixtures you will receive a text and / or email from
me. I will endeavour to update the website for any changes as quickly as possible.
External Cup Competitions
Any free week requests for County Cup dates must be directed to your County FA
and I believe that Counties can impose significant financial penalties for nonfulfilment of County Cup fixtures.
Pitch Sharing - If you have told me that you pitch share then I will try to
accommodate your arrangements as best as I possibly can but with so many teams
sharing this is not always possibly. Similarly I have no control over cup draws. All
teams that pitch share are marked with an * on the fixtures. This is to help me spot
any potential clashes and if there is a clash I will mark the fixtures accordingly. If you
do have a clash then you will need to make other arrangements such as varying the
kick off time or finding an alternative venue.

UNDER 17s
Old Hall Eagles are leading the way in the Premier Division but they only hold a
narrow one point lead over Rostance Edwards, who have a game in hand. These
two are well clear of third placed Lane Head Rangers while Bustleholme with just
one victory to their credit sit in fourth spot. Wednesfield, who are now back on track,
have two draws to their name, including an impressive 1-1 draw at Old Hall Eagles
while Brewood Juniors’ change in manager saw a change in their fortunes as they
picked up their first point of the campaign at Wednesfield.
Cheslyn Hay, with a maximum return, continue to lead the way in the First Division
while Berkswich Athletic are just three points adrift although they have played two
games more. Pelsall Villa Colts, with two games in hand are just three points behind
Berkswich and are still in contention for honours as are Great Barr Harriers who
have two games in which to make up a five point gap with Berkswich. Wyrley Juniors
have picked up a three victories so far and are capable of taking points off the other
teams around them as are Bloxwich Rangers and Great Barr Harriers Athletic who
have a couple of wins apiece so far. Springvale Steelers would be much higher in
the table if they hadn’t been caught fielding an unregistered player against Penkridge
which cost them a 3 point deduction and saw the result of the game expunged from
the records while Penkridge are still looking for points to add to their early season
victory at Great Barr Harriers Athletic.
Hopefully and weather permitting we should be able to sort out the format of the
Spring Leagues in the new year but the most likely outcome will see one team
relegated from the Premier and two promoted from the First Division to give a
Premier Division of 7 teams and a First Division of 8 teams.
The Autumn Shield introduced to provide extra fixtures for the First Division teams as
is in its early stages an in group one after just one round of fixtures the table is
headed by Cheslyn Hay and Great Barr Harriers who recorded victories over
Springvale Steelers and Pelsall Villa Colts respectively. In Group 2 there have been
victories for Berkswich and Wyrley Lions, both over Penkridge, and Bloxwich
Rangers, over Great Barr Harriers Athletic.

Premier Division colleagues Bustleholme and Rostance Edwards, who had a
successful trip to Great Barr Harriers Athletic while the remaining place will be taken

Heath Town United will face Wyrley Juniors in the final of the Under 18s Presidents
Cup after Heath Town enjoyed an odd goal in three semi final victory over visitors
Coven United while Wyrley booked their place in the Final with a 4-0 victory over
visitors Park Hill Boys.
The Under 21s Wednesbury Junior Cup will be between Azaad Sports and FC
Premier after both teams overcame away ties in the semi finals. FC Premier travelled
to Wombourne Warriors and progressed after a comfortable 6-1 victory but it was a
much closer affair when Azaad visited Bustleholme with the visitors edging the tie by
an odd goal in seven.
In the quarter finals of the Under 18s & 21s Super Cup two of the Under 18s
overcame Under 21 opposition. An impressive display from Heath Town United saw

United got the better of Trysull Tigers in a five goal thriller. The other semi final
places have been taken by Bustleholme who came away from Park Hill Boys with a
5-2 victory while FC Premier travelled to Penkridge and progressed after a 4-2
victory.
In the Under 18s League Coven United and Park Hill currently share top spot
although Park Hill have played three games more than their rivals who have a
perfect league record so far. Wyrley Juniors are six points behind but have three
game in hand over Park Hill while cup specialists Heath Town United have picked up
a couple of victories so far and AFC Woodcross and Springvale Steelers also have
one victory to their name.
Bustleholme currently hold top spot in the Under 21s League, three points ahead of
Trysull Tigers, who have a game in hand but it is likely that the main threat to these
two will come from FC Premier who continued to maintain their 100% record in all
domestic competitions. Penkridge are also handily placed, just three points behind
Trysull but with a game in hand while Wombourne Warriors and Asaad Sports both
have a win and a draw to their name leaving just Penn Rovers still looking to open
their account.
It is still very early days in the Under 18s & 21s Super League but already FC
Premier have put their stamp on the table, winning all three games to date while
Azaad are three points behind after two wins out of two. There have also been
victories for Trysull Tigers, Penn Rovers, AFC Woodcross and Penkridge while
Wombourne Warriors and Springvale Steelers shared the spoils in a 4-4 draw.
Park Hill Boys are the lone representatives in the Staffs County Youth cup after they
enjoyed a 3-2 victory at Four Oaks Rangers. There reward is to entertain Rostance
Edwards in the 3rd round. Coven United were unlucky to lose out by the odd goal in
five when they entertained Four Oaks Predators while Wyrley Juniors were knocked
out by visitors Old Hall Eagles Under 18s.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do I have to do to arrange a game?
The home team must ring the opposition and referee to confirm the fixture by the
Wednesday prior to the game. Simply sending a text or email and assuming it has
been received is not sufficient. If you don’t receive an acknowledgement of your
message you should follow up with a phone call.
Likewise the away team has a responsibility to seek and acknowledge confirmation
of the fixture. If you haven’t received notification from the home side you should ring
them and indicate accordingly on the Match Report Form.
The home team may be liable to a fine for not contacting their opposition and referee
appropriately and may find that the referee is no longer available for their fixture.
What do we do if the appointed Referee is no longer available to fulfil the
appointment?
If, when you contact your appointed referee, they are no longer available or if the
referee subsequently informs you they can no longer fulfil the appointment you
should contact the Referees Secretary, Graham Hodson, immediately. Unless it is on
the day of the match Graham is normally able to arrange a replacement referee.
What do we have to do prior to kick off?
The home team must ensure that the Match Report Form is completed prior to kick
off and it must be available for inspection by the opposition and referee.
Player Registration Cards must be available for all players listed on the Match
Report Form and must be exchanged with your opposition prior to kick off.
A team has every right to speak to the referee and delay kick off until a full
completed Match Report Form is available and Reg. Cards have been exchanged.
If you have any concerns about a player’s registration and eligibility contact your
Registration Secretary immediately and if you unable to reach them contact one of
the other Committee Members who will try to resolve the problem.
What do we do if the opposition haven’t arrived by kick off time?
A team failing to arrive on time should be given 20 minutes leeway after the agreed
kick off time. Obviously though you should contact them immediately.
What do we do if the appointed Referee doesn’t arrive?
Although this is a rare occurrence occasionally a referee may be taken ill or suffer an
injury on the day of the game. In the first instance try contacting the referee and then
if you can speak to Graham or Mike. It is unlikely but it may be possible to arrange a
replacement referee. If a replacement cannot be provided then the teams can agree
to provide a referee themselves however if, for whatever reason, they are reluctant
to do so no action will be taken by the League if the game isn’t played.

Who pays for the Referee and Assistant Referees (if appointed)?
In all cases the home team shall be responsible for collecting the fees prior to kick off
and for paying the Referee and Assistant Referees (if appointed) their fees
immediately after the match.
For League games the teams will share the referee’s fees but in Cup games the
away team is responsible for meeting the cost of the Referee.
The cost of Assistant Referees, if appointed, will be met by the team requesting them
or shared by the teams if appointed by the League.
