As anticipated, the national re-structure taking effect from the start of 2018-2019 has seen Ashford transferred from the Evostick League to the Bostik League, or in old terms from the Southern League to the Isthmian. It will be our third spell in the latter. There is no doubt that our travelling will greatly decrease with…

A scrappy match at Short Lane on Saturday saw Hartley Wintney scoring the only goal of the match in the 76th minute, following a free kick from just outside the penalty area that reared up in front of keeper Tyler Tobin and Hartley’s Paul Hodges was the first to react as he poked home the…
We have been advised today that we have to play at Marlow on Thursday evening, following the abortive trip to their ground last Saturday when they were unable to field a side. This comes two days after our Tuesday trip to Moneyfields, and two days before we visit Rushden & Diamonds next Saturday. We have…
