Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water...
A new signing but a familiar face as Jake Chadwick (
@jakeechadd
) makes a return to grace the hallowed fields at
@Billingshurstfc
. Welcome back Jake
Very disappointing night for us tonight, but our young goalkeeper Ollie Courtney can take a bow for a man-of-the-match display and this…. this double save from a penalty. Phenomenal 👏
A chairman's job is never done. No referee yesterday for a West Sussex Championship game between
@Henfield_FC
&

Reserves so in steps

One for a future caption competition though...
We’re pleased to announce that we have appointed former Three Bridges and BHA academy coach Richard Midadje as manager of the 1st team.
Nathan Sleat will be Richards assistant.
We wish Richard the best of luck in this post.
And its happy birthday to

Thought we'd do something different and not include pictures of his beloved tractor and mowere
We’re very pleased to announce that Lee Spickett has agreed to take on the role of 1st team Manager for Billingshurst F.C.
Lee brings extensive senior football experience to the club and we look forward to working with him and his new management team.(1/2)

Another superb addition to our midfield ranks. Jack also comes with bags of experience and lists Alfold, Roffey and Ifield amongst his former clubs.

The club are pleased to announce the appointment of Luis Freitas as 1st Team manager. Luis has a wealth of coaching experience and steps up into the managers role for the first time. Welcome Luis.
Well the pitch is cut, raked, seeded and rolled.
The changing rooms are ready.
The management team and committee are always ready.
The players are up for it - might need a bit of fitness.
Just need....
Unfortunately the
@Billingshurstfc
game this Saturday at home to
@DorkingWDRSRes1
has had to be postponed. This is due to a car driving on to the pitch despite the ditch and 2 fences in their way.

Delighted to add another very experienced player to the squad. Top defender and top bloke… a previous league winner last year with Roffey. Welcome Brendan…

🔏 Nick Tilley
Turns out it’s as difficult to get a picture of him as it to get him to training - although he’s on a good run atm.
Welcome back

🚨 New signing…
🔐 Jack Munday
The striker / centre-back has joined the club as a player and comes with plenty of experience. A previous league-winning manager of the division during his time at the Alfold helm.

@TDShipley_FC
Sorry to hear that. We’ve put all the mess you left in the changing room back on the pitch now so hopefully it will be a little flatter next time.
Happy 80th Birthday to the Billingshurst F.C legend, Gordon New.
Have a great day Gordie and I’m sure we’ll all sit down and have a beer with you as soon as we can.
Well just starting to dry out.
Many thanks to all of the people who came to watch the game.
Very difficult playing conditions; players and officials deserve credit for their performance. We hope you enjoyed it & look forward to seeing all of you again.

@TheSCFL
Off the field work continues:
▪️Hard standing path behind the goal.
▪️Refreshing the dugouts and now artificial grass in place.
Note to players: take the tape and banana skins back to the dressing room
We’d like to thank everyone who has worked tirelessly for the club during this season in what has been a very difficult campaign (for obvious reasons)
With our new management structure in place across the club, we look forward to next season with huge optimism
Stay safe all!
Work continues on perimeter fencing around pitch. If anybody has some time to assist, let Kev know. Actually just wanted to post a picture of Ivo in his wellies
🚨 New signing
🔏 Ethan Jayne
A new edition to our back line. The tall centre-back has formerly played at Three Bridges, Bootle and the University of Liverpool. The gaffa is pleased…

with a back to fronter finished with aplomb.
The home side threw everything at us second half, but what a defensive shift.
🔴⚫️
Reserves score 3 goals without reply at Alfold Reserves.
Unfortunately 2 of them were at the wrong end so full time score was a 2-1 defeat.
All 3 goals scored by Hughesy which looking at the results makes him top scorer in the West Sussex Championship
Harsh ending losing on penalties but lots of positives for Lee & his team as their young side more than competed and will look to take the experience of this tournament into the new season, one that looks full of promise. Onwards and upwards. Well played lads.
Great news as Jack Stevens and Charlie Holmes have agreed to join our management team for the coming season.
Jack will be assistant to Lee after formerly working in the role at St Francis Rangers. Charlie will work as a coach alongside Pat and Dan.
A bit earlier than normal but here’s the seasons review from the Chairman. An interesting and challenging period for the club but we’re already looking forward to getting back to football next season ⚽️😀

The club are pleased to announce the signing of Liam Mathews from Loxwood and thank them for their cooperation in getting the transfer sorted easily. Welcome back Liam.

We would like to thank Richard for his efforts over the last year and wish him well in the future
🚨 New signing…
📝 Jamie Robinson
A great new addition. The left-back has thoroughly impressed with his attitude and ability after joining midway through pre-season. The former Broadbridge Heath player has bags of experience as part of Roffey’s title winning team last term
🔴⚫️
So pleased to see Tom Edwards make his return to the pitch last night after being out for more than a year with a ruptured ACL. Despite a few set-backs, he’s worked so hard to get back playing and done it all the right way. Buzzing for you Tommy 💪

Sad news reached us today as we learnt that Sheila Glaysher, wife of club stalwart Don Glaysher, has sadly passed away. Don and Sheila did so much for the club in the past and certainly helped towards making the club what it is today. We send our condolences to the family.
