HARRY KEWELL HEAD COACH HARRY KEWELL We open our season against Notts County on Saturday in front of the fans at The Hive London, how are you feeling going into this one? “I am feeling great, feeling ready and feeling special because football is back, and it is great to be part of a club that has such great support. “It will be fantastic to see the fans here and hopefully we can put on a good performance for them.” We’ve signed plenty of players over the summer. How are they all fairing together ahead of the new campaign? “I think that is the right question. Gelling as a team takes time. We have started the season with a small number, and we have recruited well. “At times, you just can’t put a winning team straight together as it takes time. But the players have adapted, they have worked hard in pre-season and I think we will make a good account of ourselves.” Notts county are looking like strong favourites for promotion this season, is it a good thing to test ourselves against tough opposition in the opening game? “It is the perfect way to start the season to play against one of the favourites to be promoted. They were unlucky last year and they play a good style of football. “Notts County also want to play the right style of football, which is fantastic to see, so we are excited to play someone who is going to be challenging for promotion.”
HARRY KEWELL This will be your first full season in charge of Barnet Football Club, how much are you personally looking forward to this challenge ahead? “I always love a challenge. I love these levels and think they’re fantastic. I think you can clearly see improvement on players in the National League. At the top level you’re looking for that extra one or two percent, if you can get that. But here I think there’s a little bit more scope for improvement and I’ve seen that in 6 weeks. “The way that they’ve adapted, the way that they’ve worked hard, the way that they have conducted themselves has been really pleasing to see. The way that they approach every training session for me has been fantastic so, I’m looking forward to the start of the season and I’m excited.” Jamie Turley is set to be the club captain for the season ahead, what were your thoughts behind that decision? “He was an excellent candidate when I first spoke to him about joining Barnet FC. He’s the leader that I’m looking for, he knows the levels, and he’s been promoted out of this league before so he knows what’s required and all in all he’s a fantastic player. “Jamie is a leader and that’s what you look for in your captain. He’s a leader and is not someone that scores three goals a game, but is someone that organises the team and works hard to the very end.” Finally, we are expecting a big crowd here for the opener. You must be really excited for that? “Of course I am! I think the more people you can get here, the more excited the players get, because it is going to be a great atmosphere. “It will be great to hear a full crowd chanting and singing. I’m hoping and thinking it’s going to be an exciting game and I’m really looking forward to the occasion.”

WONDERFUL DAY OF COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIP.
Our A team beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 & 2-0 with Ken Patterson
scoring in both games, as our B team won 2-1 thanks to a long-range

We then all retired to The Hive Bar for lunch before watching the Bees
draw 1-1 in the main event which brought the conclusion to an excellent
day.
We recently won the Middlesex FA Grassroots Project of the Year 2021
and included in the award were two tickets for the Community Shield

Stadium. Also included in the award was a £100 voucher for Kitlocker,
which was gratefully received!
On September 24th, we have been invited to The Middlesex FA awards
ceremony at Brent Civic Centre to receive our gong.
In the meantime, we proudly presented our chairman Mr Kleanthous
with the award certificate and thanked him and BFC for their continued
support of community Walking Football.
Today we welcome our good friends from the West Ham Foundation to

Let’s hope for a good season, COME ON YOU BEES!THE OPPOSITION HEAD COACH IAN BURCHNALL Burchnall joined us as head coach in March 2021, bringing eight years’ experience working in the Scandinavian top tiers and a reputation as one of football’s most exciting young coaches. Possessing a background in youth coaching, Burchnall’s first senior role came as Brian Deane’s assistant at Norwegian side Sarpsborg in 2012. He then took the same job at Viking FK, paving the way for him to become their manager in 2017. Off-field issues led to his departure, much to the disappointment of Viking’s supporters, but he was quickly invited to move across the Swedish border to replace now-Brighton manager Graham Potter at Ostersund FK. Potter had led the club on a meteoric rise through the Swedish football system, culminating in the club’s remarkable qualification for the Europa League, and Burchnall, who had previously worked with Potter while coaching university football in Leeds, was chosen as the man to fill his boots. Despite the club’s decision to sell numerous key players, Burchnall led Ostersund to a sixth-place finish, one point and a place below the record set by Potter the previous year. His second season began strongly before off-field problems emerged once again, eventually leading Burchnall to leave his post last summer to pursue his next opportunity in the UK.

ROBERTS HAS BEEN
RACKING UP THE GOALS AND
ASSISTS SINCE HIS ARRIVAL
FROM BLYTH SPARTANS IN
JANUARY 2020.
He bagged 17 goals in 25 games for Blyth before scoring in five consecutive
games for us as we reached the National League promotion final.
Roberts had been with hometown club Newcastle since the age of eight and
was given his full debut by Rafael Benitez in an FA Cup win at Blackburn in
January 2019, marking the occasion with a goal.
He was also named on the bench in the top flight but, somewhat surprisingly,
wasn’t offered a new contract and left St James’ Park.
After questioning his future in football, Roberts linked up with former
Newcastle midfielder Lee Clark, who had also managed the winger during
a loan spell at Kilmarnock, and rediscovered his love for the game with a
phenomenal stint at Blyth.
Kyle Wootton
THE BIG STRIKER TURNED HIS
LOAN FROM SCUNTHORPE
UNITED INTO A PERMANENT
MOVE IN JANUARY 2020
He established himself as our leading centre-forward, finishing last
season as our top scorer with 18 goals and has started the 2020-
21 season in fine form, notching in three consecutive victories.

Sun May 15 BROMLEY H 3pmHARROW BOROUGH AWAY POSTCARD Our final pre-season trip saw us visit our neighbours Harrow Borough to compete for the Harrow Cup. I was making the long trip from Leeds, so I got on a coach down South at 11:00. On a hot day, the journey was a bit torturous, and I was thankful to finally get a bit of fresh air four and a half hours later. Having some time to spare in London worked perfectly for me as it allowed me to go and pick up my family’s season tickets ready for the new season. From Canons Park it was a quick tube journey to South Harrow where I then walked to Harrow’s ground. As you entered the stadium, they had the mighty Harrow Cup on display as a reminder of what was at stake that evening! I found a nice spot on the terrace behind the dugout and watched the teams warm up. More spectators arrived and soon the game was underway. We had a dream start to the game, as just minutes in Bloomfield got on the end of a good throw-in to put us ahead. Harrow almost levelled but their effort hit the post and as the half continued we looked the more likely to score. Though our young keeper James Callan was playing for Harrow, he made us fight for the victory, after making some great saves! We went into half-time with a one goal advan- tage and in classic pre-season fashion made a number of substitutions for the second-half. We had another dream start to the half as just two minutes in, Mason-Clark doubled our advantage with a lovely individual goal. On 65 minutes things got even better when Nugent scored the best goal of the evening with an incredible chip over the ‘keeper. We carried on with the momentum and Trialist B added his name to the scoresheet on 70 minutes with a great volley. Towards the end of the match, we hit the post but no more goals came in the evening and we finished with a 4-0 win. We were presented with the Harrow Cup which was lifted in front of us to celebrate the win. Unfortunately for me, my long night was just starting. I made my way back to the tube station and travelled to Kings Cross where I got on my train back to Leeds at 23:30. Lots of chocolate kept me awake after a long day and I was back in Leeds in the early hours of the morning. A taxi home from the station was the final leg of my journey and I was back home by 3:00 on Wednesday morning. Whilst some may question if the journey was worth it for a pre-season game, I got to see us lift the prestigious Harrow Cup so I think that answers any of those questions!
