Savagebee - It is Dom Rhone's birthday today, yes, he had 'silky skills' which not many players possess and could quite easily have gone all the way:

I wonder who Dom Rhone will play for this season?

He's at Broadfields United. A disappointing result for North Greenford United last night in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round at Berkeley Fields against Hellenic League Premier Division Brimscombe & Thrupp, losing 2-1:

A decent player should be playing a level up in my opinion.

Paid my first visit to North Greenford United this evening, nice set up, friendly club, just a shame about the result though from a Edgware point of view.

North Greenford United's line up for last Tuesday's SSML Premier Division fixture with Crawley Green at Berkeley Fields which resulted in a 1-1 draw, Joseph Mills netted on 74 minutes only for Crawley Green to equalise three minutes later, that has pretty much been the story of North Greenford United's season so far even though that is their only stalemate. Since disappointingly losing at home to Hellenic League Premier Division Brimscombe & Thrupp in the FA Cup they have struggled to get a stranglehold on their League form and it's only the FA Vase that is currently keeping the season alive and kicking with an away Second Qualifying Round tie at Oxhey Jets tomorrow, having comfortably disposed of Hellenic League Division One East Chalvey Sports 4-1 in the First Qualifying Round. League defeats at Arlesey Town and Leverstock Green, albeit just by the odd goal, weren't exactly encouraging for the long haul ahead and although there was a 3-1 home win over Edgware Town there was also a 5-2 home defeat to Biggleswade United who, up until that point, couldn't buy a win for love nor money under new boss Cristian Colas.

North Greenford United's line up and match programme for Saturday's SSML Premier Division fixture with Potton United at Berkeley Fields which resulted in a 1-0 win for the Hutchinson Hollow outfit. Current SSML Premier Division form is still poor however it seems the Club can do no wrong in the FA Vase and won 3-1 at Oxhey Jets last week in a Second Qualifying Round tie with goals from Toluwaloju James, Andrew Manitou and Charlie Mitchell. Colin Jones men now travel to Combined Counties League Division One Sandhurst Town in the First Round proper on Saturday 31 October however there are two very difficult League fixtures to negotiate prior to that, at home to second in the table Colney Heath tomorrow evening, see match programme, and at table toppers Eynesbury Rovers on Saturday (24 October):

North Greenford United's line up and match programme for last night's SSML Premier Division fixture with high flying Colney Heath which resulted in a straight forward 4-1 victory for the visitors, Captain and 'Mr Reliable' Andrew Manitou netted for North Greenford United who now have three successive away games, after playing five of their first seven League fixtures at Berkeley Fields, starting with a daunting visit to Hall Road to take on table topping Eynesbury Rovers on Saturday (24 October):

Ashley Harrack looks a class act, one to watch for sure.

A few pics of James Simmonds there playing for North Greenford United he is now the Chelsea U18s coach. Still only 33 (I think) and he still plays for Richmond & Kew FC in the Surrey South Eastern Combination League alongside his brothers Elliot and Bradley.

James Simmonds is top player on his day.

View From The Boundary - Really, so you're a leafy Surrey man then, what is it like when Guildford City come calling like in these photos, is it like Boca Juniors v River Plate. How did you become involved with Oxhey Jets out of interest:

Yes, a 'leafy Surrey man', from a council house, surrounded by rich kids so you really knew you were poor. Hope that addresses your patronising preconceptions. I moved away to go to university and never went back, and have lived in 10 counties but mainly Herts in the last 20 years. I currently live in Soxhey and have followed Jets since the great escape season where the drop was avoided at Stotfold's expense, having previously followed St Albans City for 5 years but became disillusioned by many things such as money grabbing owners, obvious match fixing I witnessed (3 players sacked but swept under the carpet), atrocious facilities, revolving door recruitment but mostly because the owners rig it so they start like a train then come down with the Christmas decs, there is no desire to progress. They are top now, I bet they won't even make the playoffs, that's Levi all over.

Before watching the Saints I had been an avid Aldershot fan since the 70s, but where do I start with them. Going bust twice was enough for me, they are doomed, and the town is a cesspit of a place, always was but far worse these days. At least I saw them rise back through the leagues to the FL, after that the wheels soon came off.

Loving the Jets, they do such good work in the community and deserve every success. They are a joy to watch too this season.

A good post ? I've heard bad things about St Albans City in recent years but I always enjoyed visiting there ground but i haven't been there for over 10 years now.

You wouldn't happen to know the whereabouts of the ex Oxhey Jets midfielder Sim Armstrong?

Bringing us back on topic, Sim played in the epic 3-3 draw between Jets and NGU earlier this month

Wow so he is back at the club then ? A good few of the club's best players from the last 10 years seem to returning to the club so no wonder they are 2nd in the league and a joy to watch at the moment.
