The Chairman

                                            Chairman
                                            A very warm welcome is extended today to
                                            our friends from Beaconsfield in the shape
                                            of their players,officials and supporters.
                                            They have had some fine results among
                                            their games so far this season and we will
                                            have to be at our best if the three points are    on the night, a quality goal from the well again
                                            to be won.                                        Tony Lee and a well earned point in Wiltshire.

                                            An awful lot seems to have happened since         This coming Tuesday evening sees our first clash
                                            my last set of notes produced for the FA Cup      of the season with near neighbours Wimborne and
                                            tie with Chippenham two weeks ago. The lads       our first visit to their new home when we travel
                                            were in my opinion superb in both games           for a Southern League Cup tie. That will be an

                                            demonstrating that they would certainly           interesting evening I have no doubt as both teams
                                            not be out of place in the division above,        will undoubtedly want to give much needed pitch
                                            matching our higher ranked opponents              time to players pressing for regular inclusion in
                                            in the first game and at times completely         the starting eleven. The following night our u23

                                            efforts fully deserved. Those that weren’t        football and I can assure you there are far worse

                                            will perhaps only focus on the 1-0 defeat.
                                                                                              Finally I have to mention our magnificent skipper
                                            The loss against Kings Langley last weekend       Jamie Whisken who completed 350 appearances
                                            was quite literally one of those afternoons       for the Club in the first game v Chippenham.
                                            that in all probability will never be repeated.   We have been privileged to have had Jamie in

                                            appeal against Corby’s red card proved            longer yet!
                                            inconclusive as the camera zipped away
                                            from the incident at just the crucial moment.     Enjoy the game and don’t forget the 50:50 tickets
                                            Given that in such appeals it is a mandatory
                                            requirement to have video evidence we now
                                            have to do without him for three matches.

                                            Tuesday night at Salisbury gave the lads          Chris Reeves

                                            Langley disappointment and to be fair the
                                            quality of their play amid a frenetic local
                                            derby at a ground where most teams get
                                            beaten went a long way to reminding the
                                            non league football world that it is the
                                            Chippenham displays and not the Kings
                                            Langley performance that defines where the

The Captain
Jamie Whisken
Captain
Afternoon All,

Big home game today, a game we massively
need to get three points in!!! After last
Saturdays away result, which was obviously
disappointing, we bounced back with a solid
performance versus Salisbury. A game in
which we were adamant we deserved the win.
With our goals (One which was offside & a stone
wall penalty) we should have had, but we’ll take
the performance and move on.

Beaconsfield always prove to be a tough test
for us. It’ll take a big performance to get the
three points but we’re ready for the battle.

Get behind the lads, this will be a huge three
points and propel us back amongst it.

C'mon you Dolphins!!!!!!

Chairman’s Update
I do not usually react to negative postings
on the Club’s Fans Forum but I do respect
the fact that supporters have been waiting
a long time for the “Big Announcement”and
with our lease of the Black Gold having just
over three years to run I understand the
concerns expressed.

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that the
default position of a minority is to suggest
that we have no plan and that all is doom and
gloom-suffice to say that that is far from the
truth. What we have been working on with
interested stakeholders including of course      actively involved in the process which of late

Chaplain’s Corner
Welcome to today’s match and to our visitors
from Beaconsfield, we hope you have a safe
trip home.

Sadly I’m not able to attend today’s game,
but it’s for a good reason: St John’s will be in
the midst of a ‘Real lives’ weekend, hosting
a series of events for people of all ages,
thinking about life and faith with Australian
visitor Glen Scrivener.

This evening’s event will see Glen                 many ways. There’s something wonderful
interviewing Major General Tim Cross CBE,          about the way Jesus changes lives for the
then speaking himself about the Christian          better. It’s inspiring to see in others and a
message, drawing together some of the              gratifying privilege to experience oneself
strands of what Tim has said. It should be         what it is to be caught up in the purposes of
a great evening and you are warmly invited.        God. I hope you find that yourself.
It’s free and there’s no need to book, just
come along. Refreshments are served from
7.15pm, for a start at 7.30, ending soon           Rev David Price

Today we welcome Beaconsfield to the Black Gold.
They have started the season strongly and are
two places below us in the table. They recently
beat Truro away which is no easy task. Looking at
the league table we need to start picking up points
at a good level if we are to make ground on the
leading pack.
