Match Preview

Iain Willcocks13 Dec - 17:30

This weekend is a big one for The Moles. After defeat at Barton, FC now have five games, with three at Haywood Way, to try and ensure a place in the play offs. Currently it's perm any one team from six for the four play off positions and so six points from a tough weekend will go a long way to cementing that place.

On Saturday we entertain North Greenford United who currently lie second from bottom in the League. North Greenford have had an uptick in fortunes over the past month and have moved off the bottom of the League after creditable draws against Marlow, Rugby and Aylesbury Utd and a victory over Hanwell and will come to Aylesbury in positive mood.

Established in 1944, originally as a youth club and started playing senior football in the 1946–47 season when they joined the Hanwell and District League, finishing as runners-up at the first attempt.A season later the club joined the Harrow Wembley League, and winning the senior division of that league at the end of the 1954–55 season. The club then played in the Middlesex League Premier Division. In the 1982–83 season they won the Middlesex League Premier Division and gained promotion to Division One of the London Spartan League.

At the end of the 1987–88 season the club gained promotion to the Premier Division of the London Spartan League. At the end of the 1993–94 season the club left the Spartan league, and dropped down a level to the Middlesex County Football League Premier Division. The club then lost its senior status with the Middlesex County Football Association and spent the next few seasons upgrading their ground to move from intermediate status back up to senior status. This work culminated in the club being elected to the Combined Counties Football League for the start of the 2002–03 season.

The club finished as runners-up in the league in their third season in the league.That season, they also made their debut in the FA Cup, making it to the First Qualifying Round before being knocked out by Hemel Hempstead Town.The club then repeated this finish four seasons later in the 2008–09 season.The following season the club went one better as they became champions of the Combined Counties Football League, and earned promotion to Division One Central of the Southern Football League. They also completed a double by winning the Middlesex Senior Charity Cup when they beat Enfield Town 1–0 in the final at The Beveree Stadium.

North Greenford United finished 18th in the 2010–11 campaign, in their first season at that level. After a disappointing opening half to the 2011–12 campaign, the club announced that they had parted company with manager Steve Ringrose who had been in charge for three years. On Boxing Day 2011, the club confirmed the appointment of ex-Chelsea, Wimbledon and Crystal Palace striker Neil Shipperley as their new manager. He was assisted by ex-Chelsea team-mate Mark Nicholls. However upon the conclusion of the season, Shipperley resigned to look for a management position at a higher level after successfully guiding the side to safety. The club appointed former Bedfont Town midfielder and caretaker boss Jon-Barrie Bates as his successor in early June. Bates was sacked after just eight games following the club's poor start to the season paving the way for the return of Shipperley for a second spell as manager.

Neil Shipperley resigned from his position of manager in February 2014, and he was replaced by reserve team boss Paul Palmer shortly after.Palmer, however, was sacked after a 4–1 defeat to Chalfont St Peter on 11 September 2014. Don Bennett was appointed as caretaker with his first game in charge a 1–1 draw with Uxbridge. Bennett was then appointed as the permanent successor to Palmer, but resigned in December 2014. Reserve team manager Barry Morris was placed in caretaker charge.

In the first game this season at North Greenford FC came away with a narrow 2-1 win with goals from Adam Logie & Sonny French NGU 1 FC 2 - Match Report
