Another fantastic End of Season Event for Penn & Tylers Green FC

Penn & Tylers Green FC Seniors end the season with a good evening at Hazlemere Golf Club

John Grimsdell in full swing

A full house at the annual award dinner and dance guaranteed a good atmosphere with John Grimsdell, the clubs’ physio, taking us through the evening with his usual charme and sense of humour. Chairman Tony Hurst reviewed a successful season for the seniors and thanked everyone involved in the club -on and off the field – for their hard work and had a special mention for all the club’s sponsors.

Seniors Season now finished

Good season for the three Saturday Teams

This season seemed to have gone for ever. The Seniors are now finished, some of the Juniors, however, still have a number of games to go.

Last game of the 2013/2014 season

The First Team of Giovanni Sepede and JonPaul Iaciofano had a fantastic season ending up fourth in the league. After a difficult start to the season they reached a good level of consistency in the league and at one stage had a very long run of games without defeat. The dedication, passion and perseverance of the gaffer paid off. We are looking forward to the next season already. Continue reading…

Penn & Tylers Green FC players line up against Wycombe Legends at Adams Park this Saturday 4th May

First Team Gaffer in charge

Giovanni Sepede

First team manager Giovanni Sepede has been given the honour along with Graham Malcom of Flackwell Heath of picking a South Bucks Select X1 from Penn & Tylers Green FC and Flackwell Heath FC players to face a very strong Keith Scott’s Wycombe Wanderers Legends side at Adams Park, the home of Wycombe Wanderers, on Saturday the 4th May kick off 3pm. The criteria stipulated was that all players selected had to be under 25 years of age, which was no problem to Giovanni as the Penn & Tylers Green FC first team is a very young side. The players selected from Penn & Tylers Green FC are: Chris Hurst, Alex Sethi, Mitch Scarvaci, George Coyle, Adam Parsons, Josh Fox and Jordan Gumbs.

This is going to be a great experience for these players against the likes of Steve Guppy, Steve Brown, Keith Ryan, Paul Hyde and many other well known Wycombe legends. So why not get down to Adams Park and support your local team and players.

More details of the match can be found on the Wycombe Wanderers website (www.wycombewanderers.co.uk)

Railwaymen hit the buffers at French School Meadows

Good solid performance in our last home game

The gaffer Giovanni Sepede was very happy

The last home game of the season finished the way the second half of the season went, with another good performance and yet another win. The Gaffer Giovanni Sepede and his assistant JonPaul Iaciofano can be very proud of what they achieved with players who, like all our members (from Mini Football via the Girls Team to the Junior Team and the other Senior Teams) pay their subs to get a game of football. Apart from the start this has been an excellent season and The Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary are very happy indeed. Continue reading…

Close encounters at French School Meadow

Two home fixtures and two crackers

The Reserves took on Burnham Reserves in a Hellenic League Division Two (East) Fixture. Being 3:0 down the boys in blue and white came back to make it 3:3 with Mitch Andrews getting a brace and substitute Andy Parry getting one. Good to see Messrs. Bryon, Dinsmore and Abreu back here at French School Meadows.

French School Meadows was busy tody

The A-Team was unlucky not to get anything out of a seven goal thriller losing by the odd goal. Being 3:0 and 4:1 down the boys in red and black did well to come back with Ben Heathers, Paul Lindsay and Phil Clark on the score sheet. They still had enough chances throughout the game to get a result. It was not to be today against a strong Amersham side that could not get a team together last Saturday against fellow title contender Titans thus giving them three points. Well the title is still in our hands and the next game on Saturday against Titans is crucial.

Game was called off only 90 minutes before kick off

Second time in a week that the opposition called a game off on short notice

This is the second time it happened to us in a week. Last week we received a call late on Friday night from Slough Town Reserves and today from AFC Hinksey with 90 minutes to go before kick-off. On both occasions the reason stated was lack of players. Today the officials were already at French School Meadows and just about to inspect the pitch. For the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Secretary it meant additional paperwork, phone calls, wasted expense and of course no gate money (today’s programmes may become collectors’ items!!!!).

Shame, on a day like today it would have been terrific to watch a game of football. The Reserves lost 1:3 on their travels away to Binfield. The A-Team is still on course with a good 3:1 away win at Hazlemere Sports Reserves.

Penn & Tylers Green FC move up to 5th after hard fought win at Woodley Town

Good on the road again

Captian Hurst shakes hands

Penn & Tylers Green FC travelled to Charvil (please contact club secretary for history) in Berkshire on Thursday night for their third game in six days, to play Woodley Town who were undefeated for an impressive nineteen (yes 19!) games. Penn & Tylers Green FC were also undefeated for six games, so it was the classic set up for “something to give”. The biting wind blowing across the pitch brought a wintery feel to the evening. Continue reading…

Reserves are on a good run

Penn & Tylers Green FC Reserves V Ascot United Reserves 3:0

Happy Gaffers

After the disappointing news of Slough Town pulling out of Saturdays game due to an apparent poor pitch (more like no team available) the boys were ready to get back into the swing of things and go for another victory, can we win two in succession?

The game started in windy conditions as usual at French meadows with the boys in blue playing downhill, wind assisted. We started the better side matching them ball for ball, the middle of the park was loaded up again with the strength of skipper Bertie, the Fitness of Steve the runner Harrison and the cool calm footballer of Luke Harman.

Four points out of the last two games for the First Team

Good away win at Thatcham on Saturday and a good home draw against a strong Maidenhead side tonight

The action at French School Meadows

It was good to witness the boys actually comprehensively win a match in appalling conditions on Saturday at Thatcham without the usual nerve ends jangling. The boys in blue and white played some good stuff as well. Over the last few weeks it has been a pleasure to watch the team play and they really are coming together as a unit and team. We have not enjoyed watching Penn & Tylers Green more than this season. We really do have a strong squad now, and what we like is the fact that Giovanni Sepede is always looking to improve.

Unlucky defeat in the Maidenhead Norfolkian Cup final

Brave A-Team lose after a good battle

The A-Team

It was not to be. The coach left French School Meadows around 17:00 hand headed for the lovely old quaint York Road Ground; the world’s most continuously played on football stadium. After the disappointment of Friday’s game being called off due to a waterlogged pitch the boys were rearing to go in front of a decent crowd. Continue reading…
