HAMWORTHY UNITED NEEDS YOUR HELP

 

Programme Editor We are looking for somebody to edit and compile the Match Day Programme. The use of a computer and access to the internet is essential. A printer can be supplied and all out of pocket expenses paid. Help will be given with match reports etc.

 

Commercial Manager  Responsibilities will include obtaining  advertisements for the programme and pitcbside boards for Hamworthy United Football Club, as well as fund raising for the Club. Payment will be by commission only at a rate to be discussed prior to appointment.

 

Linesman For Reserve Side We require a person to run the line for the Reserves for both home and away games. Many games in the Dorset Premiership now have to run with only one Referee’s Assistant, or none at all on the line. The onus is now on every club to supply a linesman for these games, failure to do so will lead to a fine for the Club.

 

General Help on Match Days There are any amount of jobs that require doing on match days and we require volunteers to help with the many jobs. We require help with such things as stewarding, car parking, taking the nets down, and helping with the teas etc.,

 

If you can help us with any of these jobs please make yourself known to a Committee Member or contact the Secretary  Peter Gallop on 01202 670792 or 07931 210019. His e-mail address is plrg@hotmail.com

YOUTH

THE WAY FORWARD FOR HAMWORTHY UNITEDF.C

This season Hamworthy United has run two very successful Under Eighteen sides. Both Teams have done very well in their respective leagues. The South West Youth League Team has competed on Saturday mornings against mainly Academy sides. They have played among others teams from Bristol, Eastleigh and Newport County. The Young Hammers are at present top of the Second Division in their first season of entering the league, and at the time of writing could possibly still win it. They are guaranteed to finish in at least second place, and will be promoted to Division One next season The Dorset Youth League Division One Team play on Sunday afternoons, and they too are assured of finishing in at least second place. They have also qualified for the final of the Dorset Youth Cup which they won last year. Two of this year’s Youth Team Matt Grimason, and Joe Byrne are already established First Team players with Josh Reavenall –Nuete now also having made several impressive appearances for the Sydenhams Wessex side. Several other have been included in the squad and have made the occasional appearance. Last years Under Eighteen Captain Greg Horlock is another ever present in the first Team Squad.

Many of the boys will be too old next season for the Youth teams, but the intention is to keep as many of them as possible. They will be brought on through the Reserve and First teams in order to build for the future. Negotiations are at present going on to ensure that the quality of player needed for the Youth Squad will be maintained. It is also Hamworthy United’s intention to run a third Under Eighteen team for sixteen year olds in the Second Division of the Sunday League. This will enable players to make a steady progression right up to the First Team.

Everybody at Hamworthy United Football Club including Manager Phil Simkin and his staff see the development of the Youth Section as the best way forward. This will give the Hammers a much better chance to compete with our more affluent neighbours in the future, and should provide the necessary talent required. Gary Watson has been appointed Youth Development Manager and he will liaise with the Phil Simkin, and the Coaches from each team including the Reserves, to check and report on each player’s progress. The Club will be also looking for people to help coach these young players; preferably they will be already qualified.

If you think you would like to be a part of these exciting times, either as a player, as a coach or just a helper please contact Phil Simkins, Gary Watson, or Secretary Peter Gallop at Hamworthy United Football Club.

GROUND IMPROVEMENTS 

 

Hamworthy United Football Club has come a long way in the past six years or so, and the next twelve months could be crucial if we are to continue the progress already made. We hope to undertake three major projects in the very near future all of which will need a great deal of planning, and assistance if we are to achieve our aims.

Firstly we have to build a covered accommodation for fifty people to meet the minimum requirements to enter the FA Cup, FA Vase, and the Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Division next season. This has to be done by the 31st March 2008.
 

We also have to build the new Irvin Brown Stand hopefully by the start of next season. Lastly we have now had a loan agreed by the Brewery, and hope to make a start on the Bar Extension in the near future. This we hope would generate extra income for the Club.

As previously stated a great deal of help will be needed in so many ways if we are to achieve our goals. If you are in a position to help in any way be it with your particular skills, with materials, or with your labour we would be very grateful to hear from you. Please contact Peter Gallop the Secretary on 07846-974263, or any member of the Committee.

A brief history of our club...

 

Hamworthy United F.C. are a football club based in Hamworthy, a suburb of Poole, England. We were formed as a merger between Hamworthy F.C. and Trinidad Old Boys F.C. in 1970. In the 2003-04 season, we reached the 2nd round of the FA Vase. We are currently members of the Wessex League Premier Division.

 

Our team was formed in the 1890’s called Hamworthy St Michael’s, winning our first trophy the Whitehead Minor Cup in the 1899-1900 Season.
 

Hamworthy Football Club was formed in 1926, and moved to the present ground The County Ground (formally known as the Nursery) in 1950.
 

Hamworthy Football Club amalgamated with Trinidad Old Boys at the start of the 1971-72 season to form Hamworthy United Football Club as we are known today.

 

Hamworthy United have had great success at all levels over the years in various competitions. After winning the league two years running we were promoted in the 2004-2005 Season to Wessex League Division 1, winning the Wessex League Cup in our first season. We reached the 2nd round of the FA Vase.

 

The Club did not take part in the 1969/70 Season due to administration difficulties and the amalgamation with Trinidad OB.

 

League status resumed for the 1970/71 Season under the name of Hamworthy United Football Club to date. We would like to thank Mr. Mervyn Powell - a local Historian - for his assistance in compilation of our listed Club History. A Dorset Combination Jubilee publication is due for release later this year.

 

As a follow up to our listed History, the Club are pleased to make available a collection of pictures that may bring our success into focus, and add more interest to an already informative website.
