FROM THE BOARDROOM

Today we welcome Cadbury Heath to the Ridings on what could be when writing this a
very wet day. Hope the two teams will put on a great game to make you forget the
weather.

We would also like to welcome our young club mascots from Yate United you football
club. The players play for one our coaches Ian Bright. Obviously we would like to think
that one day some of these players will be playing for Chipping Sodbury Town.
What has been happening, the first team thankfully have now finished a tough run of
playing the top sides in the league. Playing these sides find out what sort of squad you
have for the final part of the season. The good news is that they will dust themselves
down and continue to fight for every last point that is on offer.
The reserves had a fantastic win against their local rivals Winterbourne FC last week. The
fighting spirit in the team was good to see. One quote was ...they were lions.... roared to
victory. The other bit of good news after the win is that they are now off the bottom of
the table.
The thirds are doing very well this season, currently in mid table. They have shown that on
their day the team can compete at this level and if they can get on a run, who knows back
to back promotions.
The Women have suffered like the rest of the teams from lack of playing time due to the
weather. They are also playing well and just need to get some momentum and will no
doubt finish string.
The under 18's have been starved of playing games only three games since the end of
November. There are some very talented players within the group which will put the club
in a good position in years to come.

Enjoy today’s game.

CHIPPING SODBURY TOWN HISTORY

In the summer of 1959 Cliff Phelps decided it was time football association was brought back to
the town. It had been six long years since the boys of the town had donned the Blue & White of
Sodbury in the Western League. After several meetings at The Bell Inn (Now Brooks Bar & Kitchen)
the new club was formed. Major L.M.Harris was President, Mr. E Purbrick Chairman, Mr. C Phelps
Vice Chairman, Club Captain Dennis Greenaway and Youth Captain Michael Boulton. In the initial
1959/60 season they entered a senior team into The Dursley & Wotton League and a team into the
Youth Section. The following season Sodbury joined the Bristol and District League and throughout
the 60's remained in Division 3.
The 1970's began with relegation, when we finished bottom of Division 3 and the slump continued
in 1971/72 Season when finishing bottom of Division 4. The Mid 70's saw a few changes and the
ground work of the team today. Mike Fox became player Manager and 'The Sods' began a Sunday
Side. In the 1976/77 Season Sodbury finished third in Division 5 and gained promotion. The
1978/79 Season saw us go one better and finished runners-up of Division 4. To finish the decade
off and celebrate twenty years of the club's rebirth, we won the Championship of Division 3 in
1979/80.
The 1980's began were the 70's left off and a fourth place finish gave Sodbury promotion to Bristol
and District Division 1. 1981/82 saw the rebirth of our Reserve side and by the end of the season,
the 1st's had gained promotion to the Senior Division. From Division 5 to the Senior League in six
seasons. The first season in the Senior division was mid-table finish and the end of the season saw
Mike Fox's testimonial and an Ashton Gate appearance against Mangotsfield united. The following
season we finished third. After finishing 15th in 1985/86 we were relegated to Division 1, where
we remained until finishing runners up in 1988/89.

The 1990's kicked off with a third place finish and promotion to the Bristol Premier Combination
Div 1. in 1990/91. The early 90's saw a new clubhouse and changing rooms built with Players and
Committee members contributing their trades. A forth place finish and the winning of the Premier
cup in 1992/93 was the clubs best season so far. The Sods remained in Division 1 until the end of
the ninties, when they were promoted to the Premier Division for the 1999/00 Season.

The 2000's and after 3 seasons in the Premier, the Sods were relegated at the end of 2001/02
season. A new manager and new era began in 2002/03. Les Underdown and his Assisstant Jeff
Clark both ex-players with the club took over the reigns. A mid table finish in their first season,
saw Les leave and left Jeff in the hot seat. The following season saw another mid-table finish and
the Reserves become Champions with the exciting players now in the squad. 2004/05 ended in a
disappointing third place but the club now had a third team as well. The following season, the
previous year was forgotten when the club won the Championship and promoted back to the
Premier division. A mid table finish in the Premier division and the other 2 teams both winning
promotion was a good season in 2006/07. 2007/08 became the clubs most successful season,
when the first's won the Championship of the Premier and the reserves Champions of Bristol &
District division 1. The first season and a change of manager in the Gloucestershire county league
and the team finished bottom of the league, only winning 5 games. Even though the club finished
bottom, they were not relegated. Mark Stenner was appointed manager and he started the steady
march up the County league.

The 2010's has produced the club's most successful time in their history. Mark Stenner had taken
the team to a third place finish in the County league in 2010/11. After his departure early the
following season, Scott Gibson took over. A disappointing bottom place finish was followed by
two seasons of rebuilding and climbing the league. Karl Reese was appointed new manager at the
beginning of 2014/15 season and in his first season had promoted the club from the County league
to the dizzy heights of Western League football with a third place finish. Not a bad start for the
new gaffer but with some new faces and playing great football, we went 1 better the following
season and won the Western League Division 1 Championship. 2016/17 and the Western League
Premier division was tough but a very creditable 13th position and competing in the F.A.Vase was
our most successful season so far. 2017/18 was going to be a massive mountain to climb. Karl had
left the club and also half the first team had departed to pastures new. Enter Neil Simons our new
gaffer, a season in the Western league to take on with half a team and to make things a little more
difficult, your first game is the clubs first ever game in the F.A.Cup. The season ended with a 13th
place finish, an FA Cup victory and a quarter final place in the GFA Challenge trophy. Early in the
2018/19 Season Neil decided to leave the club and shortly afterwards we appointed our present
manager Joe White and his assistant Steve. At the end of the season under his leadership, the club
had finished 10th in the Western League and had the best run in the FA cup in the clubs history.
The club were successful in their appeal against the Hellenic League, sideways move by the F.A. So
2019/20 season we will remain in the Western League Premier. This uncertainty of which League
we would be playing in, unsettled the players and so several departed the Club before a ball was
kicked this Season. Three weeks before the season started we also lost our Manager and his
Assistant. Scott Gibson & Justin Bishop are our Caretaker 1st team management team.

TOOLSTATION WESTERN LEAGUE PREMIER - 25.01.2020

For the opening quarter of this league fixture there was little to choose
between the sides but as the half progressed it became clear why Parkway
are currently sitting in second place in the Toolstation Premier just three
points behind the leaders, with a game in hand and with a superior goal
difference.
Sodbury succumbed to the growing pressure after 20 minutes. The Parkway
target man Adam Carter found himself clear of the defence only to slip and
fall at the key moment, but he had the presence of mind to hook the ball
across the penalty area from a prone position. His pass found Mikey Williams
who fired home unchallenged to give the visitors the lead.
The Sods battled hard and created a couple of half chances however they
were constantly under pressure from an inform side who had a lively winger
in Jordan Copp who caused mayhem whenever he could.
With just six minutes of the half remaining the Sods had their best chance of
a goal when Jack Parker latched onto a misplaced pass but a fine covering
tackle by Aaron Bentley snuffed out the threat and the chance was gone.
Just when Sodbury looked to be heading for a single goal deficit at the break
Williams popped up to fire home after Craig Duff dissected the home defence
to leave him clear to shoot low into the left hand corner from 15 yards out.
The second half started with Sodbury looking determined to turn the tie
round and for a while they enjoyed a greater share of the possession. Dan
Brown switched to the centre of the back four with his commanding
presence giving the Sods more stability.
However the sides struggled for control on a difficult surface and both teams
were guilty of conceding possession too easily. With 25 minutes to play they
each introduced fresh legs however it was Parkway that continued to pose
the greater threat and on 67 minutes they increased their lead. Mikey
Williams completed his hat-trick with a first time shot following a patient
passage of play with Duff supplying the final pass.
Despite the Sods working hard to find a consolation Parkway saw out the
game with relative ease and they must be hoping that their hosts do them a
favour when they face first placed Bradford Town in their next fixture.

CADBURY HEATH FOOTBALL CLUB (THE HEATHENS)

The Club was first established in 1894 by Cadbury Heath Adult School (later to be known as
Cadbury Heath Primary School) when Cadbury Heath was just a little narrow, one-street village,
way outside the boundaries of Bristol.

Our first pitch was situated at Mill Lane, changing in the Social Club and heating up water for tin
baths. With a break for the War years, and the transferring to what is now Coronation Park, we
progressed from the Bristol & District League to Division Two of the Bristol Premier
Combination, and then to Division One in 1961, after winning the GFA Junior Cup in 1950. In the
60’s the team (only a first team then) built their own baths at the Social Club. This period of
success coincided with the renting of our present ground – Springfield – for £10 per annum from
a local farmer and President Jim Warner. This was then an open pasture land with cows, a rope
had to be put around the playing area. It had no Electricity Water or Drainage. The tea bar was a
garden shed. The offer to purchase for £250 was short-sighted declined, as the field was later
sold as part of major development land and only intense lobbying led by the then Chairman,
Mike Packer persuaded the Council to allocate Springfield as part of Public Open Space leased to
the Football Club for dual use. This has meant that we have not been entirely masters of our
own destiny. Even so, Gloucestershire county League championship in 1971-72, 1972-73, 73 74
and runners up 74/75 at the same time winning the GFA Senior Amateur Cup in 1972/73 73/74
and 1974-75, under Ralph Miller’s Management. The success pushed the club into joining the
Midland Combination after being turned down by the Western League due to the dressing
rooms being situated too far from the pitch (what is now the Social Club bottle store). A stand
was built for the requirement of the Midland Combination (with tea bar). After finishing fifth
and reaching the quarter finals of the FA Vase with a crowd of 2,000 at Springfield, and more
listening live on local Radio Bristol for the tie against Billericay Town from Essex, the Manager
left after a disagreement with the committee, and took most of the players, to Cinderford Town.
This shook the club to the core, we were relegated and had to drop two divisions to the Avon
Premier Combination (we were founder members) there was no `Pyramid System’ in force. A
slow recovery took place, half time rooms being built, then a terrapin to provide on-pitch
dressing rooms, taking advantage of newly laid drains for the new houses, a water supply, and
electricity for training floodlights. Elected back into the Gloucestershire County League in 1984 a
reserve team was started in 1988 ran by John Clarke formed from CHYMCA the first team
finished as runners-up in the County League in 1990. The Managers in this period were Bob
Williams, Dave Pitman, Les Allan, John Harris, Andy Stone, Keith Cottrell, Brian Knighton, Mike
Ratcliffe, and Chris Stone. We celebrated our Centenary by winning the League Championship
for the fifth time in 1994, under the consistent managership of Brian Knighton, and we
continued to dominate the league once again. Continued improvement on and off the field saw
new dressing rooms built on the ground in 1997, a youth academy started under Malcolm
Knowlson and a new terrapin replaced the one for the youth section formed from an
amalgamation with local youth football club, Grimsbury Rangers. After winning the
Gloucestershire County League for a record sixth time, under the management of Andy Black, an
application to join the Western League was again turned down due to the lack of a fence. Andy
then left the club to join Bitton and Steve Plenty was appointed Manager along with Lee
Knighton. After a public open meeting and a long battle with the Council, the fence was finally
erected at a cost of £15,000 funded by Cadbury Heath Football Club. Steve and Lee’s first season
in charge got runners up spot, of which consequently secured our election to the Toolstation
Western League at long last!

After 2 seasons in charge, Steve Plenty stood down due to family commitments and Lee
Knighton took over the hot seat for a season and then the reigns were handed over to his
assistant, Glen Smart, who consolidated our position for four seasons. Lee Knighton took over as
First Team Manager for his second spell and appointed Andy Weeks as his assistant in season
2005/6, also that year Steve Plenty became Chairman when Dave Smart stood down. After five
years of planning tribulations Floodlights were successfully installed at the end of season
2008/2009 this being Phase one of Heaths redevelopment plan, being largely due to the efforts
of Chairman Steve Plenty. The Heath and The Social Club went their separate ways in season
2011/12. Andy Black joined the club for his third spell in season 2010/11 appointing Glenn Smart
as his assistant culminating in the first division championship and promotion to the Premier Div.
in season 2011/12. Then followed two good seasons in the premier division with the last two
seasons being a period of trying to rebuild the side after most of the original players either
retiring or moving on to higher level football. Phase two, is in the planning stage which is for a
new dressing room facility incorporating a new clubhouse & new 100 seat stand with a covered
area for a further 100. During season 2015-2016 Roger Coke joined the club as coach. Season
2016-2017 starts with a new first team coach Phillip Bater Ex Bristol Rovers and the introduction
of a U18 side who will be playing in the Bristol & Glos U18 league. Mid season Rob Mallett
joined the coaching staff to assist Andy Black. First team won the GFA Challenge Trophy beating
Fairfield Town 4-3 0n penalties. End of season Andy Black resigned as manager and became
director of football. Season 2017-2018, Rob Mallett was appointed first team manager. Season
2018-2019 Andy Black was appointed first team manager. 2019-2020 John Black has joined the
management team.

CHIPPING SODBURY TOWN RESERVES
BRISTOL PREMIER COMBINATION

CHIPPING SODBURY RESERVES HISTORY

When Chipping Sodbury reformed in 1959/60 season, a Reserve team was formed and
entered the Dursley and Wotton League the following Season in 1960/61. The Reserves
then entered The Bristol & District League Division 6 the season after. The Reserves
stayed in the Bristol & District League through the 1960’s. The Present history of the
Reserves began in the 1981/82 season under manager John Beer. The Reserves spent two
seasons in The Bristol & Avon League before joining The Bristol & District League in
1983/84 Season. After two promotions in 9 seasons, the Reserves became Champions of
Division 4 in 1992/93. Ten years later, in 2003/04, the Championship of Division 3 was
attained. A Great run in the GFA Intermediate cup saw the side reach the final but come
runners-up to Soundwell Victoria the following Season. After finishing runners-up and
getting promoted in 2006/07 they go 1 better and become Champions of the Bristol &
District League Division 1 in 2007/08. The next seven seasons were spent yo-yoing be-
tween the Senior Division and Division 1. Becoming Champions for a fourth time in the
Reserves history saw them win the Senior Division in 2015/16. The following season was
another success for the Reserves, when in their first season in The Premier Combination
Division 1 they finished runners-up and were promoted to The Premier Combination.
The first season in The Premier Combination saw “The Sods” leaving it late and winning
5 of their last 6 games in a 15 day period, to finish in tenth place. 2018/19 Season saw the
team finish in 11th place and remain in the Premier Combination, the highest league
standing in the Reserves History.
