MIDDLESEX FA LEAGUE TREBLE FOR
BARNET WFT
The Bees completed the 2019 Middlesex FA Central League
season by adding another over 60’s FA trophy to the collection. In
addition to being the over 60’s Spring League Champions, we also
became the over 60’s Autumn League Runners-Up.
Steve Chittenden captained the successful over 60’s who beat
Staines 2-0 and Cedars 3-1 on their way to the trophy.
Our over 50’s picked up too many injuries to be able to challenge
and emulate their Spring League Runners-Up trophy, finishing
the Autumn League in 4th place, but ended on a high with a 3-1
victory and a Daryn Lenz hat-trick versus Middlesex Blues.
We congratulate goalkeeper Nick Kreiger who was awarded
with the Players Player of the Year award after winning us many
matches with his amazing saves including a penalty save versus
Wigan in a 1-0 victory in the UK National Finals. Tom Moran also
received a medal of recognition for representing us superbly in the
England WF team.
So if you want to play Walking Football for fun or the competitive
element, we have availability for all players, have a laugh, have a
drink and come and join us!
If you want to burn off the Christmas calories, our sessions are
running through the holidays. Join us at the Hive with your friends
and family on Thursday evenings from 7pm-8pm or on Friday
afternoons from 2pm-3pm. The cost per session is £3.

Buzz? A statement on the clubs’ website reveals that the directors,
officials and the players of Wrexham have publicly apologised
to their fans upon reaching their worst ever league position
last week. The side lost 2-1 away at fellow struggler’s Ebbsfleet
United to go bottom of the league, five points off of safety.
They have been in the National League since relegation from
League 2 back in 2008, having been in the third tier in 2005.
They were also last in the second tier in 1982, and have played
in the European Cup Winners’ Cup through their exploits
in the Welsh Cup, once reaching the quarter final, as well as
beating giants FC Porto. “As lifelong fans of the club ourselves
who follow the team up and down the country, we really
understand the frustration, embarrassment and upset this is
causing everyone and that we need to urgently address the
situation”, the statement read. The side won 2-0 at Eastleigh
on Tuesday to take them back up to 21st.
Oldham Athletic have signed former Premier League
midfielder David Jones on a short term deal. Jones came
through the academy at Manchester United, but did not
make a first team appearance. After loans at Preston
North End and NEC Nijmegen, he transferred to Derby
County, where he helped them gain promotion to the
top flight, including making a few appearances. He then
moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers, helping them gain
promotion to the Premier League, before spending time at
Wigan Athletic, Blackburn Rovers, Burnley and Sheffield
Wednesday, across the top two tiers. Dino Maamria, the
Oldham manager, said: “He’s coming to Oldham to make a
