Chairman's Message March 2010


 

As March marches on we’re continuing our outreach to the community. We’ve recently rekindled links with some of the youth teams in the area and will be opening our gates with special offers to encourage fans to get behind the team for the last few remaining home games.

 

There’s also a big push commercially which will be an ongoing effort plus a major ground maintenance program is currently underway.

 

So the message from me to the community is re-engage now! Come forward and lend a hand and be a part of history by helping to get this club back on its feet. 

 

Details of how you can help are in the community section of the site....KS

 

 

 



 

THE YELTZ ARE NOW 23 GAMES! UNBEATEN CAN WE DO IT!!!

The team that refused to die maintained their remarkable bid for a play-off spot on Tuesday night by beating Rugby Town 3-0 away from home.

On Saturday the Yeltz maintained their play-off hopes with a 1 - 1 draw at Cambridge City. Yeltz will consider themselves unlucky not to have taken all 3 points as Cambridge played the majority of the second half with 10 men. 

The Yeltz now prepare for in form Banbury United at home on Saturday where Matty's Clarkes side will be looking to make it 6 points from their last two games.

The Yeltz maintained their promotion bid with an end to end thriller at the Grove last Saturday. Watch the Match Highlights Both team provided lively entertainment and served up proof of why they are 2 of the league's highest scoring teams. The Yeltz after coming back from being a goal down are now 21 games unbeaten.

Ground Repairs and Maintenance Begin

Following the recent appeal made by the club for vacancies to help out around the Grove, members of the Yeltz Trust Supporters Association we’re eager to assist.

Cambridge City 1 - Halesowen 1

Halesowen came to Milton Road boasting a free-scoring forward in Stefan Moore and 21 game unbeaten streak. But from the way they shaped up and the resolute nature of the City defence meant that it was the Lilywhites who looked the more potent force from the outset.

Watch the Match Highlights Halesowen moved up to fourth spot after extending their unbeaten league run to an incredible 21 games in an exciting draw against second-placed Brackley with both goals scored in the early stages.

Leveling The Field

Whilst it was not the first game of the season, going in through the turnstiles on that day, the sun shining, ground buzzing with expectant fans and seeing the new pitch, regimented shaded lines of mown grass, the pride felt on that day will be hard to beat. Crip Crap looks back at the voluntary effort put in by the community to improve the Grove.
