End of Season... the Awards, the Records, the Celebrations!
Chawton Athletic staged their annual end of season do last night which also was their first awards night after a record breaking season.
The first award of the evening was for the Top Goalscorer. There was obviously one clear winner, Ben Hodkin, who scored 21 goals. Second place was Martin Booth scoring 6, Paul Nicholson and Andy Vickers were joint third with 5 goals each. Hodkin's total also entered him into the Chawton record books for most goals in a single season (previous holder was Sam Hewett with 14). He also also now the club's leading goalscorer, overtaking Hewett's 20.
Second award of the night went to James Harvey (who was unable to attend) for the Most Improved Player, as voted for by his fellow players. Jake Channon was a close second with Pete Goodall in third, a good effort considering he has only been playing since January.
Next award was for the Players' Player Of The Season, the main award voted by the team, which went to Ben Hodkin to give him his second award of the evening. Paul Nicholson and Jake Channon in a close second and third place respectively.
The main honour of the evening, Player Of The Season, was given to Paul Nicholson for a successful first season with the Yellows. From his midfield position, he contributed 5 goals, at least 3 assists and was named man of the match no less than 5 times. Ben Hodkin and keeper Martin Skilton were also in close contention for this award.
Other, less official, awards gifted were to David Nicholson for Comment Of The Year for "It's my propeller", Matt Stevens' 8-ball gained Photo Of The Year and Donkey Of The Year goes to Marc Taylor-Penfold and Jake Channon for taking each other out instead of the other teams attacker.
It was a record breaking season for the Yellows, with new unbeaten and win streaks being completed (three matches for each) as well as notching up record home and away wins!
With an announcement that took some players by surprised, manager Carl Waterfield announced he was stepping down as Team Manager to concentrate on personal affairs, but would be carrying on as Treasurer. He thanked the players for their help and support as manager and leaves the position as the club's most successful manager to date, a fact he attributes to the increased cohesion the team was getting when he took over in October. The Board are now looking at their options for the new season, with Marc Taylor-Penfold assuming it on a temporary basis.
Stay tuned to the blog and website for details of the club's AGM and when pre-season training will commence. The AGM is an opportunity for players to have their say in the running of the club and all players new and old are encouraged to attend. Two weeks notice (at least) will be given!

Chawton Athletic took their bow in the Basingstoke Powerleague, winning 22-4 against Sota FC.
Athletic turned up ready to play with a full team of 8 players:
Marc Taylor-Penfold(c), Ben Hodkin, Jake Channon, Karl Teague, Nathan Teague, Paul Nicholson, David Nicholson and James Russell. D.Nicholson spent the first half in goal, then Channon took the gloves in the second half.
The four goals conceded by the Yellows came from defensive errors and a couple of penalties where Athletic hadn't fully learnt the rules. Some fantastic passing play throughout the fifty minute match and good individual performances punished the Sota FC team, Chawton ending their 'training' session on a high.
Goals:
Hodkin 9, P.Nicholson 6, Russell 3, Taylor-Penfold 2, Channon 2
Stay tuned to the blog and website for updates.

Rain Stops Play - And Other Updates!
Rain Stops Play
Sunday's match at West Liss has been called off.
The home side's groundsman called the match off on Friday afternoon, as the waterlogged pitch would be unplayable. Manager Carl Waterfield was working with his opposite number at West Liss to get the game moved to Chawton's Binsted ground, but the Parish Council also ruled Binsted Rec as unplayable too. The fixture will now have to be rearranged for later in the year - although not likely to be the free weekend on 30th January, as there is already a full fixture list.
In place of the match, there will now be compulsory training at Anstey Park. This will begin at 10am and anybody who had made themselves available for the match is expected to attend. Training should be finished by the time Man Utd and Liverpool kick off... for those desperate to watch the "professionals"* play...!
Player Profiles
The website has player profiles, some of which already include pictures. The camera is at every match for those who don't have their picture up, and profile shots will be taken if the weather is dry. A new team picture for this season will also be taken soon, when we have a good turn out at a (dry) home match.
Regarding the written profiles, could all players email the manager at sabrewulf7@yahoo.com with any interesting football related info to put on their profiles, along with any previous (or current Saturday) clubs. The website is getting quite a few hits, so the club wants to use both the website and blog as much as possible!
Kit - Financial Constraints!
The club is, as has been previously mentioned, wanting to get a new kit in time for next season. Discussions are currently ongoing with various parties regarding a sponsorship deal, but the club is owed some £300 by players. Would all players who owe money please ensure they are up to date by the end of January. This impacts the club financially, as well as shows a bit of disrespect to those who pay their dues.

Committees Shakes Up Management.
The Club has changed the way the playing side is run, as assistant and Treasurer Carlos Waterfield is promoted to Team Manager. Marc Taylor-Penfold will Club Captain.
The decision has been made as Marc wishes to concentrate on on-pitch events. Carlos has struggled to make in-roads into the first team and has increasingly been helping from the sidelines, thus it is an obvious situation.
Carlos' first official match in charge is this weekend's trip to Castle City. The meeting time is 1PM, as the game is an afternoon kick off, with the Hop Poles Car Park (known as Mount Pleasant Car Park) as the venue. Chawton's opponents have only conceded four goals in six games, so the team will have to take any chances that come their way.
Training is still being sorted by Marc, with Sunday's venue one possible place to train!

Chawton Debutants Ready for Celtic Challenge!
Chawton Athletic's new-look line-up is ready to take on Rushmoor Celtic in their first ever game in the Aldershot and District Sunday Football League.
The club submitted eighteen forms, which are now cleared for this Sunday's big kick off. The new team has no less than ten players that could make their debuts in the match and has seen good turn-outs in the recent training sessions as the whole squad pushes hard for that elusive starting berth.
The Binsted based side are keen to take the positives from their friendly defeat at rivals West Liss two weeks ago and turn it into a winning start. Their opponents lost their opening game of the season, but recorded a first win on Sunday and will be keen to keep up momentum. But Athletic, in their third season, are more than capable of taking three points at the weekend and turning their home pitch into a fortress.
Meeting spot is 09:15 at Anstey Park, Alton to leave at 09:30. If players are going stright to the ground, be there no later than 09:45. Maps and directions (pretty easy from Alton - through Holybourne!) are on the Club Info page.
