Well our first season as the newly formed Chelmsley Town (1994) FC comes to a close and personally I am looking forward to the rest.  Well, if you consider a 'rest' as re-seeding; building repairs; and the organistation of, hopefully, two prestigious friendlies!
The season started full of optimism following an excellent pre-season but our first tow games against Alvechurch Villa and Studley BKL conceding 8 and scoring 2 soon showed us that the season was not going to be easy.  Due to economic pressures the Committee had to cut the players budget early in the season but I was very pleased to see the loyalty shown by the majority of the squad.  Christmas arrived and we had reached 8th position in the league and were still in three Cup competitions being the B'ham County FA Vase, Challenge Cup and the new Alliance Cup and thisng were looking good.
Sadly, between Boxing Day and 18th Feb which, due to bad weather was actually only six games we tumbled back into the relegation zone and crashed out of the three Cups.
During March and April our fortunes fared somewhat better and we now lie in 11th position above both local neighbour's Coleshill and Knowle which is pleasing.  Personally I feel that the style of football played this season should have put us in the top six but sadly goalscoring is the name of the game and this is the department in which we have struggled.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Paul Johnson for managing, organising and even funding the side under difficult circumstances - an excellent john has been done.  Besides the manager many other people have contributed to the smooth running of the club and without them the club would not have survived.  My thanks go to:

GEORGE STORER: his invaluable services as trainer have been much appreciated
KEVIN BYRNE and TONY GORMLEY: for acting as joint managers in Paul's absence.
ROBIN WORLEY: 'Mr Versatile' - his help with the team and to myself has been invaluable.
BARBARA BATES: Without Barbara this and all the other programmes would not have existed and her help with the bar is, as always, very much appreciated
JULIE GORMLEY: For smoothly running the catering, cleaning the club and always being willing to help behind the bar when necessary.
PAT CRAYTHORNE and CLIVE KETTLE: They have both helped with repairs, odd jobs and emergencies - many thanks.
PHIL HARRIS and CRAIG: for their barmanship on Sundays and night games - allowing me to catch up on my sleep
ALAN and EMMA: (Barbara's nephew and niece) - their help on matchdays has been much appreciated.
CAROL, WALLY, SID and BEAU: Your weekly support, rain or shire, is both required and very much appreciated.

With regards to next season, it appears we will still be at the Pavilions as we also may be for a further season after that.
As you are no doubt aware Monica Star leave us to go to their new ground in Yardley and as a result we are starting Chelmsley Town (1994) FC Reserves they will compete in the Midland Comb, hopefully Division 2.  Cliev Kettle will manage the side and sponsorship will hopefully totally fund the cost.  If anyboby knows of any potentoal sponsor for either side - please let me know.
Finally, a big 'thank you' to all the lades for their efforts and loyalty this season.  I hope you all have a pleasant summer and look forward to seeing you for the pre-season.

Delighted Coleshill Town boss Bob Nimmons has seen his long time struggling side hit real championship form in the last month. Coleshill, everyone's favourite whipping boys in the opening months of the season, have only lost once in their last six games while winning three. Nimmons said the success has been due to the fact he has been able to field a settled side for the first time this season. He has also heaped praise on strikers Jason Phillips, Jonathan Johnson and Jimmy Stafford, who have hit 14 goals between them in these six games. The turn around started when Coleshill went to Highgate United and won 5-1 before beating title challengers Shirley Town 2-0 also away. On Boxing Day, goals by Stafford, Phillips and Jamie Shipway gave Coleshill a convincing local derby win over improved Chelmsley Town 94 at Packington Lane. Nimmons said "The only game we lost out of these six was against Studley but we could have won that if we had put our chances away. The fact we have been able to field the same side with just one or two changes has worked really well for us".

A VERY heavy pitch saw both sides giving away a lot of free kicks but at the interval neither had managed to break the deadlock.

Meir's best opportunity came just on the half hour when Wayne Moran put over a superb cross that best both defenders and the keeper.

Martin Wood missed what turned out to be the clearest cut chance of the half.

Just five minutes from the break a diving header from Steve Bott sailed just past the upright.

The Midland Combination Invitation Cup is a trophy that the league decides who and when teams can enter, when time allows. It wasn't played for every year. This season, because the Mid Com lost ten teams and the Premier league had only 18 teams, the Invitation Cup was played for. Eight teams entered which meant the win over Chelmsley meant Town were in the Semi Final. Very few details are available but the Final was played at Bilston Town between Handrahan Timbers and West Midlands Fire Service with the Timbers winning 3-2. Coleshill must have played one of these two teams in the semi-final but I have no details.

As Coleshill and Chelmsley are such near neighbours, they tend to play on Bank Holidays or midweek at least, so reports are hard to come by. In this derby neither side had much to play for as the two sides lay in mid table, away from a relegation fight but too far away from troubling the championship contenders. Coleshill had previously beaten Chelmsley 3-0 at Pack Meadow in the league and also 2-0 in the Invitation Cup, but the home side gained some revenge with a single goal enough to win the game.

A goal by Simon Sturridge on 60 minutes gave Blues victory over Midland Combination side Chelmsley Town.

Sturridge followed up from close range after a Louie Donowa header rebounded off the bar.

The scoreline would have been greater but for some brilliant saves by Town goalkeeper Gary Adkins.

BLUES have taken another international on trial - Armenian midfielder Ara Bedrossian.

Seven times capped by Cyprus, Ara - nicknamed Harry - won the Cypriot Championship three times with Appoel before joining QPR last season.

He then moved to Fulham for the last couple of months when Mark Copper first alerted father Terry about him following his transfer from Blues.

Ara, 26, impressed during the 1-0 friendly win over Chelmsley Town last night, hitting the bar with one shot.

Evesham FC winger Joe Dowling, 21, from Kings Heath, is also on a week's trial and played last night.

Blues were expecting to see Solihull Borough's Reckey Carter back at training to prepare for tomorrow's match at Hereford after a mix-up meant he failed to turn up last night.

Blues have taken Solihull Borough striker Reckey Carter on trial.

The 20-year-old, scorer of 40 goals from 57 league and cup games last season, is likely to figure in tonight's friendly at Chelmsley Town (7.30).

Carter spent two weeks with Port Vale last season and Blues watched him several times for the Beazer Premier team.

Out-of-favour Trevor Matthewson, Louie Donowa and Simon Sturridge are also set to play in tonight's match at Chelmsley.

ARMITAGE, sponsored by Armitage Shanks, moved to within a point of the championship with this resounding victory.

The first goal arrived after fifteen minutes when Matthew Martin headed in a Clive Westwood corner.

Chelmsley almost equalised when Ricky Marshall rounded Darren Clayton but he delayed his shot allowing the Armitage keeper to recover.

Armitage almost added a second when Matthew Martin fired in a shot which Chelmsley keeper Gary Adkins pushed onto the post.

On the stroke of half time Armitage increased their lead when a through ball from Chris Caulton sent Jason Rhodes clear to drill the ball past Gary Adkins.

Five minutes after the interval the floodgates opened when Chris Caulton held off three defenders before shooting low into the net.

Chelmsley pulled a goal back after fifty minutes in bizarre fashion.

Matthew Martin lobbed the ball back to Darren Clayton but the Armitage keeper unable to handle the ball succeeded in heading it into the roof of the net.

The joy was short-lived when Matthew Martin med amends by increasing the lead with a fierce shot.

Jason Rhodes added a fifth after eighty minutes when he latched onto a through ball from Darren Brown, rounded Gary Adkins before shooting into an empty net.

In the last minute Darren Brown rounded off the scoring when he headed in a cross from Peter Perry.

In the first 20 minutes both sides lacked the final ball and therefore both defences dominated.  Unfortunately, in the 24th minute, Coleshill opened their account following a mix-up in the Chelmsley defence, they allowed Coleshill to cut inside to slot home.

Immediately after the restart, a well floated free kick into the box from Jimmy Stafford should have led to an equaliser but Matt Matin's on-target header went well over.  Some three minutes later the best move of the game between Andy Barnett, Partick Spencer and Bobby Barrett, deserved to result in a goal, but Andy Barnett's shot was just off target.

The rest of the first half saw Chelmsley pushing for an equaliser which, on the balance of play, was deserved, but although some good interpassing approach play was produced, sadly the final ball and final shot was not.  As sometimes happens when sides are pushing for the equalising goal, they get caught on the back, this happened in the 41st minutes when Chelmsley's defence stopped whilst appealing for offside and this allowed Coleshill to net well from the far side of the box.

HALF TIME: 2-0

The second half was a very disappointing affair with both sides unable to produce the football in what turned out to be a 100 mph contest.  On full time Coleshill went further ahead following a mistake by Paul Yeomans.

Chelmsley could of been three up in the first ten minutes but Becketts defended well In the 15th minute new signing Mark Gamble put Barrett through for his first goal. Five minutes later the same player made it 2-0 from a Tony Gormley cross.

Kelly brought Becketts back into game with a goal just before half time.

In the second half Chelmsley started with a storm and were 4-1 up inside ten minutes with Barrett on target twice.

Neil Pitkin made it five from a Bell through ball before Marshall scored Becketts second to finalise the scoring.

In the second half Police ran amok and added six more goals Hussey scored two with a close range header and a right foot drive.

Scriven set up McMenamin with a neat back heel for number five and Powney ran through a demoralised defence to blast home his second goal.

West scored next from the spot after Scriven tripped and In the last minute McMenamin completed the rout with a fierce left foot drive.

MILE OAK threw away two vital points on Saturday against a very poor Chelmsley side.
​Rovers failed to capitalise on their first half superiority when they built up a two lead. First they went ahead after 25 minutes when freekick by Thurman was headed against the bar by Ellison and Bartholemew followed up to force the ball over the line. They increased their lead on 40 minutes when Stibbs headed at the far post following cross from Ellison. Chelmsley were allowed back into match when on the stroke of half-time , sloppy defensive play allowed Chelmsley to strike. Rovers nearly went further ahead just after half time when debut maker Wassail went clear only for keeper to make a fine save. Chelmsley equalised after 56 minutes when Lewis scored coolly after a corner had only been partially cleared. Brookes denied Chelmsley with a good save late on and the Chelmsley keeper did the same when be made a superb save from Ellison in the dying seconds. In end this was a game which Rovers should have won comfortably on the amount of possession they had and they only have themselves to blame for not grabbing maximum points.

BOROUGH made it three away wins in a week and three clean sheets with a decisive victory building confidence for their six pointer with Evesham on Wednesday.

The quickest goal of the season came well within the first minute.

Pinner crossed from the right for Oliver Latchford to force his way through and head home from close range.

Rob Greene vollied home the second in the 12th minute when he connected with flick on from Ollis corner.

Ten minutes from time Latchford bagged his second with another header knocking on Claxton.
