CHAIRMAN’S THOUGHTS - GARY VELLA

The bank holiday game might not have had the build up and excitement of
Saturdays FA cup drama but the game was a fantastic event.

With so many forwards out it was up to the team to play in a different way
and they stepped up superbly.

The chances we created and of course the 5-0 result rounded off a fantas-
tic bank holiday following our away win at Malvern in the FA Cup. Today’s
game in the vase - we must again not take anything for granted. Last
year’s vase run really lifted the team and there’s nothing like a good cup
run.

SECRETARY’S THOUGHTS - PAT MURPHY

Good afternoon. Today we welcome to the Church Farm Brewery Ground
Pegasus Juniors football club. We hope they enjoy their visit and have a
safe journey. Today is a Buildbase FA Vase first round qualifying game,
against a team who play at the same level as us in the West Midlands
Regional Premier Division.

Last weekend saw us have two wins. On Saturday we played Malvern in
the FA Cup and after trailing 1-0 at half-time we dominated the second
period with goals from Rich Powell and Gerard McGahey securing the win
our reward for that win is an away fixture at Coalville Town on the 8th
September. On Monday afternnon it was back to league duty, where we
had a pretty comfortable win against Paget Rangers, with goals from
Henry Leaver, Luke Cole, Scott Turner and a brace from Martin Slevin.

Luckily we have only lost our game against Nuneaton Griff on the 8th
due to our cup run. That game will now be played at a later date.
So come on you racer boys! Lets keep this rich vein of form going. Good
luck to Scott and the boys today.

KEEP THE FAITH

VIEW FROM THE INSIDE - SCOTT EASTERLOW

Monday rounded off a good bank holiday weekend for us and sees us with two
more points at this time of the season than last year.

I felt we looked comfortable on Monday without really getting out of third gear,
we scored 5 and kept a well over due clean sheet, so you might think I’m being
too harsh when I say theres still plenty room for improvement, but on Monday I still
saw issues in games that don’t sit well with me and on another day we might pay
the price.

It would be easy for me to just brush over them after winning comfortably but I
want us to strive for perfection in every aspect - offensively and defensively.

Of course we enjoy the win. If not, then there’s no point in doing it but we move
onto the next game now and look to improve on our last performance.

The FA Vase is a competion I believe this club could go far in, and I was pleased
with the run last year, disappointed however that we went out to Wisbech after I
felt we could have won the game.

Hopefully we will have another good run in this competition this year and go even
further. Finally the support the players and management received away in The FA
Cup and home on Monday was fantastic and we all appreciate the effort from
everyone - long may it continue!

MARTIN SLEVIN - 100 APPEARANCES

Racing Club midfielder, Martin Slevin, makes his 100th appearance for the club today!

Everyone at Racing Club Warwick would like to thank Martin for his hard work and
endeavour over the past seasons.

We asked Martin a few questions ahead of today’s game.

Why do you play for Racing Club Warwick?
I’ve been at Racing on and off since the u18s now and I’ve always enjoyed
playing my football here, I love seeing the progress being made both on and
off the pitch now with more fans coming through the gate it’s a enjoyable
place to be playing

Who is the best player you’ve played with?
I’d have to say Joe Lolley now at Nottingham Forest he was unstoppable at
times and rightly made the jump up into professional football

If you’re not in good form what can you do on the pitch to in-
fluence things?
For me it would be to work hard and make sure I’m out working my oppo-
nent making there life difficult.

What drives you to get up and train in the freezing cold and
rain?
My love for the game doesn’t matter what the conditions are like, I always
enjoy playing football whether that be training or playing matches.

Who’s the joker in the dressing room?
I’d go with Mav when he’s here and not on holiday....

There’s a few new lads this year who may well end up being the joker but it’s
early days.

What team do you support, other than Racing of course?
I’m a Birmingham City fan.

What’s your favourite position?
Centre midfield - it’s where I feel I’m most effective and can influence the
game the most.

AWAY TEAM - PEGASUS JUNIORS

The club was In 1955 when Noel Watkin was in charge of the Herefordshire County Boys. That sea-
son they played seventeen, won ten and drew four, there was something about the side, they were
a delight to work with and had a great team bond, so when the County fixtures were through, the
team asked if they could stay together as a youth side . . . and Pegasus Juniors were born !

They were christened by Ted Woodriffe who took the name from the seniors amateur side of the era
Pegasus, containing selection of Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates. Coached by Vic Bucking-
ham who later himself went on to win a FA Cup medal with West Bromwich Albion.

The team were renowned for their fair play and boasted a record of not gaining any red or yellow
cards . . . they were an example to follow. Pegasus grew from strength to strength and travelled
Europe playing against the best teams in Belgium including Royal F.C. Bruges, many famous names
graced Pegasus as Vice Presidents reading more like a programme from the Palladium - Norman
Wisdom, Frankie Vaughan, Petula Clark, Dave King, and Alma Cogan, they all took great interest in
the success of the club.

The club bond was a magical thing, it brought many different communities together, everyone
worked for their neighbour and this was reflected in the field of play. Pegasus played and won many
big fixtures, however one game that Pegasus lost was to Aston Villa due to an on form Ron Atkinson
who netted 6 goals that day!

It was inevitable that players would move on to higher grades of football and many did that with
distinction. Noel himself finally left after eight years and moved to the Isle of Wight, however Pegasus
Juniors original members Jack Perks and Bob Pasley remained, they proudly gained membership into
the Hellenic League in 1978 and established a club house in Hereford. Pegasus Juniors were formed
because a squad of players wanted to develop together and believed that they could be successful.
There was such an affinity to play for the club, players would travel miles just to wear the shirt.

The original team were not only successful but won respect on and off the pitch, the teams belief
came from their strong friendships and passion for football, this brought the community together.

In 2005 Pegasus Juniors opened their new ground with funding from The Football Foundation, Foot-
ball Association local trusts and directors. This facilities provides a main floodlit pitch with junior and
mini football pitches. The club has gone from strength to strength and this season will have 24 teams
playing under the Pegasus banner ranging from the Sunday Morning club to youth, seniors boys,
girls, ladies and men. The Club has also achieved the Charter Standard Community Award from the
Football Association.

In 2010 the club decided to move its first team to the West Midland league for season 2011/12 as
the Hellenic League had moved its centre of operation more towards the east of Oxford and Swindon
resulting in extensive travel towards the edge of London! A season of consolidation followed before
a much improved seventh place finish in 2012/13. Chris Hyde took charge ahead of 2013/14 and led
the team to an impressive second place finishing just a single point ahead of the eventual champions;
scoring 127 goals in the process backed up by a rock solid defence. Off the pitch, improvements
were made to the clubhouse and ground thanks to £180k worth of grants. After the near success
of the previous season the squad was weakened through injury and departures, a 9th place finish
was enough to secure FA Cup qualification and the emergence of some young talent. A 2nd Round
appearance in the FA Vase equaled the club’s best performance.

For 2015/16 James Edmonds took over as Manager having previously played for the club and
managed the U18 side; another 9th place finish was achieved with a young team stifled at times by
regular availability of senior players.

After an unsteady start to the 2016/17 season, former captain Anthony Robbins was appointed as
player-manager having recently returned to the club from Hereford FC. A third successive 9th place
finish was achieved but following the end of the season Robbins stepped down and left the club to
continue his playing career. Mick Panniers took over the helm tasked with guiding a young squad of
players through 2017/18. Premier Division status was retained and with a year’s experience behind
them we look to see what they can achieve this season.

CLUB NEWS

day and following a late kickoff due to the team mini bus
