A couple of non league snippets

[Reading Rebel]

He was certainly still there when we went played them in the B and B but he was injured that night. Almost certain he spent the whole season with them.

 

 

Really not sure Rads. Just seen a list of incoming, retained and outgoing players for Bracknell and no mention of George Short. 

[Reading Rebel]

Burnham's new manager Paul Shone is making his mark with the signing of Ashleigh James for Thatcham and James Tripp from Bracknell.

[Jafooly]

Godalming have signed Pat Cox from Staines along with ex rebel Darren Wheeler.

 

I wonder where George Short is playing these days?

Darren Wheeler was already really at Godalming, he had joined Bracknell on dual registration from Godalming.

 

Hard to say Pat Cox has joined from Staines too since he only joined them a few weeks ago and barely featured in pre season games.

 

As for George Short he WAS at Bracknell all of last season, not played for anyone else.

[Neil Baker]

George is still at Bracknell, however had an operation on his groin near the end of the season, and will probably be back fit in a couple of months.

Only gone by the Godalming site that announced Darren Wheeler as a new signing.

 

You're correct about Pat Cox but he signed a registration form for Staines so technically it was a signing/transfer.

Just seen that ex Banbury and Chesham player Ravi Shamsi has earnt himself a squad number at Maidenhead in their 21 man squad.

 

Big step up for the lad and I'm not sure how many minutes he will get during the season but nevertheless good luck to him.

Our opponents on 4th Aug in the first league match H&RB FC lost their final psf 0-3 to Barnet tonight Following their defeat on Saturday 2-1 to Farnborough I cant see them brimming with confidence at fortress Arbour

[GlenSTFC]

That was Barnet’s ‘development’ team too.

[Reading Rebel]

Hampton losing to Barnet will have no relevance to our game with them on Saturday because it was only a pointless and meaningless pre-season game.

[GlenSTFC]

Blimey about time... I can sleep better now that you understand!

[3spirit]

Hampton have signed experienced forward Craig Dundas from Sutton United.

[GlenSTFC]

Well he’s a 37 year old, 1 goal every 5 games striker, so I wouldn’t worry too much...

[Reading Rebel]

I don't think his age comes into it.

 

Apparently he's a very fit 37 and is still a real hand-full for defenses. 

 

Last season he made 13 starts and 12 sub appearances in the league for Sutton scoring 7 goals. 

[GlenSTFC]

Age does come into it, would you say the same if he was 44?

[Mark44]

So he's younger than Manny? Just saying

[GlenSTFC]

Manny is 37 too I think. And I’m just saying I’m not concerned about this signing but let’s wait to see what he can do on Saturday.

His last season would suggest that Father Time is winning the race he came on as sub 12 times but was often pulled off in the games he started. the Sutton manager says he hasn't left them but will continue as a fitness coach but just play games for Hampton since he wanted to play but no longer figured in his plans!

[Reading Rebel]

But he's 37 Glennie and if he's looked after himself using Manny as an example then his age won't come into it.

[GlenSTFC]

He is no doubt very fit seeing as he’s fitness coach at Sutton! I’m just saying that his goal record is poor for a striker and as mentioned Hampton were the only interested club when he was ‘offered’ around. I’d much rather have Manny ‘The Hat’ Williams in any case.

Seems the Sutton manager wants to go down the 'youth' route and I'm sure given the opportunity of more games at Hampton it was a no brainer for him.

 

Fitness coach probably gives us a clue that he's a fit 37 year old.
