IN THE DUGOUT WITH
CRAIG
EDWARDS
Good Afternoon & welcome to our opponents Ware FC and also our officials for
todays game. I am looking forward to this A10 derby, especially after the 1-0 win
over Canvey in the FA Cup. I was particularly pleased with the 1-0 win because it told
me a lot about the team & what we can do.
I thought we created by far the better chances on Saturday, and we will need to work
on some finishing, but just creating more opportunities, will bring more goals.
Forcing a footballing team like Canvey to take their best player off and throw two big
lumps up top to go long was satisfying, especially as by the last quarter of the match
it was clear we were the fitter side and managed to maintain the press to good effect
shutting down supply and forcing errors.
Ware come into the game with a decent away win in the cup and four different
goalscorers in their two league games to date, so we will need to be at our best, but I
am sure we have the squad to take three points today
Enjoy the Match ! Craig

Founded: 1892
Manager: John Dreyer
Nickname: The Blues
After the First World War the Club gained a league and cup double with a second Herts
County League Championship and a fourth Herts Senior Cup win in 1922. The scenes in
Ware when the team returned with the Senior Cup tell us something about the hold that
football had on local loyalties at the time. The local paper reported that "Large crowds
awaited the return of the special train to Ware, everybody being in high spirits. The Cup was
marched through the town in front of a cheering throng." Indeed, it was later recalled that the
cup was taken through the town on subsequent nights and that stops were made outside
public houses where it was charged with beer before being drained by the crowd.
