Wales and Gore sign up for two years

Monday 30th May 2011

Following the news at the end of the season that captain Danny Talbot had committed to the club for another year, and the recent contract extension for Andy Leese and Jon Meakes, we are delighted to announce that both Shane Gore and Steve Wales have signed two year contracts with Chesham United. Club chairman Alan Calder was delighted to secure the agreement and the contracts were signed last weekend. "The commitment of two such quality players shows the ambition we have as a club and is a fantastic start to the summer months as we look to build on the successes of last season, on and off the field. Both Shane and Steve have created interest from other clubs and I am delighted that they have chosen to stay with us for another two seasons. I lost count of the number of times last season that I heard opposition supporters and directors commenting that they believe we have the best goalkeeper and best midfielder in the league, I can't argue with that, and having them with us for another two seasons is a huge boost to our promotion push. "I know that Andy Leese is already getting commitment from other key players in the team and is also looking to strengthen in certain departments. The change from this time last year has been immense, with all the uncertainly about being a supporters run club we were bombarded with other clubs looking to take our best players away; twelve months on and things have gone the other way, top quality players are now asking to join us here at Chesham United."

Transfer deadline day signing

Thursday 31st March 2011

Chesham added to their squad just ahead of the transfer deadline of 5pm on 31st March. Andy Leese has signed Aaron Couch a 22 year old Wycombe-based forward or wide player from Marlow. He has previously played at Chesham in the Youth set up, but joined Marlow in 2006 and was their 2007/08 Player of the Year. He has had trials with QPR and joined AFC Totton at the start of last season before joining Burnham. He returned to Marlow this year. A regular goalscorer, Andy was pleased to have signed Aaron: "He is an exciting player who has started to re-discover the form that attracted plenty of interest further up the Leagues. We needed to make sure we have the squad in place to see us through the exciting end to the season, and Aaron can play a big part in what we do. It is a step up for him, but having watched him a number of times I know he will fit into what we do and have an impact, and he is the type of player we want as we build for next season."

We have also signed utility player 20 year old Sean Fraser to offer us cover as we push for the play offs. Sean has previously played at Reading FC as an Academy player, Coventry and more recently Falkirk in Scotland. He has moved back to live locally and Andy took the opportunity to add him to the ranks subject to receiving international clearance. "You can always have good players around the place, and Sean has a good pedigree and a good attitude to the game. He is keen to rebuild his career after injury, and he is another one that we would like to look at ahead of next season. Sean would like to get back to full-time football, and we may be able to help him while he helps us."

1st of the Generals Commit for next Season

Monday 28th March 2011

Club captain Danny Talbot has committed his future to Chesham United by signing a new contract with The Generals for next season regardless of what happens in the remaining promotion campaign.

The 27 year old midfielder has made 190 appearances for United since making his debut in August 2007 and played 50 of the 57 games in last season's promotion winning campaign. This year he has missed just two matches as Chesham have surprised the new division by maintaining a second successive promotion challenge.

Chairman Alan Calder sees the signing as a reflection of the way Chesham United is striving to develop as a club. "I am delighted that Danny has agreed to commit to the club and continue on the journey we have set out on. "He has been an excellent captain of the club and I think it is important that we are starting to look towards next season and beyond as we build on the fantastic achievements of the team so far.

"We were very clear at the start of the season about how we envisaged the club as a whole operating, and the team have more than matched that vision. With Danny's commitment and Dave Fotheringham last week making his 300th appearance, we are really beginning to see the benefits of being a decent, honest and well-run club that encourages loyalty and longevity."

Manager Andy Leese is already planning for next season and wants to retain the team spirit at The Meadow that has already seen many players prove they are capable of stepping up a level. He believes they are ready to rise to the challenge should they go up once more.

"I am delighted Dan has committed to the club. We are trying to retain the consistency and quality within the squad, and getting the club captain on board will be a catalyst for others to stay and build on the last 2 season's progress. Dan has been around me as a player for over 5 years now, and he shows great consistency in his performances as well as a dedication to the game which is second to none. He has been a good leader on and off the field, and his standards and work ethic reflect what we want as a Management team. Never an easy task! We are working to get other players committed to the club, which will give us that continuity into next season, at whatever level we are playing."

Chippenham Town 1 - 0 Chesham United

Saturday 26th March 2011

Whatever happens over the closing stages, this has been a brilliant season that has exceeded the expectations of even the most optimistic Chesham fan. This defeat, against a Chippenham side that had won seven and drawn five of its previous thirteen league games, needs to be put into that context. This was a very similar game to the one at Didcot two weeks before, where Chesham looked comfortable until the home side scored with a free kick early in the second half, after which Chesham rarely threatened to get back into the game...Report

There were two enforced changes to the starting line-up – Paul Robinson strained a hamstring in training and Danny Gudgeon had played his last game before his charity climb of Mount Kilimanjaro, so Aaron Gayle and Chris Elsegood came into the team... Report

Halesowen Town 1 - 4 Chesham United

Saturday 5th March 2011

A hat-trick from Leon Archer put Chesham on the way to a comfortable win over crisis club Halesowen. The result of this game was rarely in doubt after Chesham took the lead in the opening minute, and the second goal just after the half-hour meant that Chesham were always in control.

With Rob Bartley suspended and Sam Ledger injured, Danny Gudgeon came into the centre of defence and Chris Watters made his first start at left-back. Recent signing James Dabbs made his debut as a second-half substitute. Halesowen have scrapped their entire playing budget which has led to a run of ten defeats in eleven games, in which they have scored three goals and conceded 40, so the home fans must have had a familiar feeling when Chesham took the lead after only 45 seconds. A neat passing move down the right created space for Paul Robinson on the right edge of the penalty area....Report

After Tuesday's game with Cirencester Darrell Cox re-signed Southern League forms with Chesham United. The 34 year old originally joined us in August 2008 and scored 25 goals in 68 appearances. He made a total of 25 appearances in last year's promotion campaign but was limited due to his work patterns. Although Darrell may not always be available he wanted to return to The Meadow and Andy Leese was keen to bring him back as a proven goal scorer who is great to have around the squad.

Chesham United 6 - 1 Cirencester Town

Tuesday 22nd February 2011

Chesham got back to winning ways after Saturday’s defeat with this comfortable success over lowly Cirencester. Chesham won without producing their best form as they were able to carve open the visitors’ defence with relative ease, and only for two minutes after Cirencester equalised was the result in any doubt.

After five appearances as a sub Paul Robinson was handed his first start in place of Chris Bangura, and it was a move that paid immediate dividends with a goal in the third minute. James Potton ran at the Cirencester defence and played the ball out to Steve Wales to his right.. Report

Hednesford Town 3 - 2 Chesham United

Saturday 19h February 2011

Chesham lost for the first time in two months on a difficult and at times unpleasant afternoon. Midway through the second half Chesham were 3-0 down and reduced to ten men, at which stage the game looked all over but a late fightback brought a very brief hope of a draw. With Hednesford first goal being a complete fluke and Chesham missing a penalty, this was an afternoon of might-have-beens.

There was one change to the starting line-up, Sam Ledger replacing Danny Gudgeon who was away for the weekend. Youth team player Brad Wadkins was given a place on the bench after signing senior forms in the week. The pitch was heavy after recent rain but was in reasonable condition considering a number of games in the area were called off... Report

New striker signs for United

Saturday 29th January 2011

This morning Chesham United completed the signing of striker Paul Robinson. Although Paul agreed terms earlier in the week as he had only recently moved from Windsor to Beaconsfield the move could not be confirmed until today when Southern League registration forms with Chesham could be submitted. He will be available for selection for today's visit by Truro City.

The 32 year old started his career at Darlington before joining Newcastle United in 1998 and making his Magpies debut the following year under Ruud Gullitt who selected him ahead of Alan Shearer for the derby game with Sunderland. He subsequently played for various Football League clubs including Wimbledon (where he played with current Chesham keeper Shane Gore), Grimsby Town, Blackpool, Hartlepool United and Torquay before moving into the non-league game. Earlier this season Paul made seven appearances for Windsor & Eton scoring six goals.

Andy Leese is delighted at bringing in a player he has been tracking for some time, "Paul is an experienced striker and now we've finally had the opportunity to sign him I'm sure he'll give us the attacking boost we've been looking for to continue our push forward over the rest of the season."

Paul trained with the squad on Thursday night and will come straight into contention for the game with Truro on Saturday.

Friday 21st January 2011

The Football Association has announced that Chesham United Football Club, along with Chesham United Girls & Ladies Football Club, have both been awarded the highest FA Charter Standard status of ‘Community Club’ from January 2011.

The Charter Standard Scheme is aimed at developing excellence in the provision of football for all, regardless of age, gender, religion and ability and has three levels. Only about 10% of Charter Standard clubs have achieved this highest grading by achieving FA Community Club status. The award
is made in recognition of the excellence of coaching, welfare care offered, commitment to football development at all levels and quality of organisation of participating clubs.

The joint application was co-ordinated by Lisa Welling from the Girls & Ladies section who is also Welfare Officer for all the Chesham United teams. Club Chairman, Alan Calder, was delighted to receive the news. “We’re committed to developing Chesham United as a club representing our whole community and it’s great to get this recognition by the FA.”

First team manager Andy Leese is pleased that the work to develop the Youth set up at United is also starting to show results. “I think this is fantastic award for the Club, and demonstrates the progress we are making in providing the best opportunities for all local players.”

Chesham United are pleased to announce that goalkeeper Shane Gore has signed a new contract with the club.

Since his arrival he has shown great professionalism and has played a key role in our excellent defensive record - second best in the league - that has enabled us to settle so comfortably  at a higher level after promotion. It is a great boost to all of us to be able to work with players with such experience and recognition of the club's ambition". The new contract was also welcomed by manager Andy Leese: "Shane has been a fantastic signing for the club, and to get him committed is a major boost after going back into the play off spots again at the weekend. He has had to adapt to part time football after leaving Luton in the summer, but he has done it with the same standards he applied as a full time player. He is extremely focused, dedicated and hard working both in training and in games, and he has fitted in really well with the squad and how we work here." Shane is pictured signing his new contract with Alan Calder and Brian McCarthy.

The attendance of 53 was the lowest ever to watch a Chesham United match in the Southern League...Report

Cambridge City 0 - 0 Chesham United

Saturday 13th November 2010

This was a meeting between the two sides with the best defensive records in the division, so perhaps this result should not come as much of a surprise. Chesham failed to score for the first time in twelve games, but successfully negated Cambridge’s long ball style and the result was a stalemate which rarely looked like producing a goal... Report

Chesham United 1 - 1 Didcot Town

Sunday 7th November 2010

After two Saturdays off Chesham returned to league action, but the break did not appear to be beneficial as they struggled for long periods against lowly Didcot. Chesham had the better of the first half and took the lead but were unable to build on it, and after the interval the visitors held the upper hand and looked the more likely to win it late on.

Chesham were unchanged from the League Cup defeat at Windsor eleven days ago. New striker Aaron Gayle, signed from Broxbourne Borough the day before, made his debut as a second-half substitute....Report

Salisbury City 2-1 Chesham United

Wednesday 20th October 2010

This replay was a total contrast to the first game on Saturday. With a one-goal lead and the opposition down to ten men, Chesham had a great chance to progress in the competition but blew it.

There was just one change to the starting line-up, John Kyriacou returning to the side with Chris Elsegood switching to the left in place of Sam Ledger who was missing due to work commitments. Salisbury made three changes, bringing in the two substitutes from Saturday’s game plus player-manager Darrell Clarke. Salisbury started as they finished on Saturday, with Chris Giles one of four men up front, but swiftly changed formation.... Report

Chesham United 1 - 1 Salisbury City

Sunday 17th October 2010

After starting the second half a goal to the good, Chesham finished the game grimly hanging on for a replay. Salisbury went for broke in the second half in an attempt to retrieve the game, seized the initiative and kept it even after equalising in the 77th minute.

John Kyriacou and Danny Talbot were both available again after suspension, but only Talbot made the starting line-up in place of Steve Obeng who was away. Report . . .

Saturday 9th October 2010

Chesham ended Chippenham’s unbeaten league record and moved above them into third place in the table. Both sides were missing key players, but Chesham coped with the absences much better than their opponents. After taking an early lead Chesham kept Chippenham out and Shane Gore did not have to make a save in the whole game.

John Kyriacou and Danny Talbot were missing through suspension so Chris Elsegood and fit-again Steve Obeng came in. Rob Bartley also replaced Neil Sharp in defence, a change designed to combat the aerial threat of Chippenham’s Alan Griffin, but he was absent through injury...Report

Bashley 1 - 1 Chesham United

Tuesday 5th October 2010

There was a sense of disappointment at the end of this draw with a Bashley side who have not won at home in seven attempts this season. For most of the game Chesham played the better football without taking complete control, yet paid the penalty for some poor marking at a free kick. The home fans spent most of the game complaining about the officials but most of the major decisions in the game went the way of the home side.

The only change to the starting line-up saw Danny Gudgeon made his first start of the season in place of the injured Steve Obeng, while new signing Loren Maxwell made his debut as a second-half substitute...Report

Chesham United 2 - 1 Weymouth

Saturday 2nd October 2010

Chesham put their FA Cup exit firmly behind them and got back to winning ways against a Weymouth side who would still be in the relegation zone even if they had not had ten points deducted. Apart from a brief spell before half-time when the visitors equalised, Chesham dominated the game and should have won by a much bigger margin.

Steve Wales returned to the side after passing a fitness test and Chris Bangura was available again, so they replaced Leon Archer and the injured Ricci Crace. Rob Bartley and Chris Elsegood were both carrying slight injuries so were rested in favour of Neil Sharp and Sam Ledger in defence. The pattern of the game was set early on with Chesham in control, and in the fifth minute Steve Wales crossed from the right to Chris Bangura whose shot was held at the second attempt by Weymouth keeper Ashley Weeks. Shortly afterwards a Danny Talbot corner was almost headed into his own net by Matt Oldring, then in the fifteenth minute Chris Bangura crossed low from the left and Gabriel Fanibuyan could only knock the ball over the bar from inside the six-yard box....Report

Wealdstone 4 - 1 Chesham United - FA Cup

Monday 27th September 2010

Chesham made a tame exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Wealdstone. From a Chesham point of view the most disappointing thing about this game was that Wealdstone managed to score four times without putting the Chesham goal under sustained pressure at any time in the match.

There was one change to the starting line-up, Gabriel Fanibuyan coming in for Steve Wales who was missing with a groin strain despite being named as a substitute. Wealdstone made two changes from the first tie, starting with Scott Fitzgerald who scored on Saturday after coming on as a sub.....Report

Chesham United 2 - 2 Wealdstone - FA Cup

Saturday 25th September 2010

Chesham overcame the burden of playing for 77 minutes with ten men to force a replay with a 97th minute equaliser. Afterwards Wealdstone complained about the amount of time added on, but the result was fair as Chesham had earlier had a perfectly good goal disallowed.

Danny Talbot was fit again so started in place of Sam Ledger, while Ricci Crace came in for Chris Bangura who was away. The visitors included former Chesham man Alan Massey in central defence while Jack Pattison was an unused substitute.. Report

Stourbridge 1 - 1 Chesham United

Saturday 18th September 2010

A draw was enough to keep Chesham in third place in the table after an entertaining encounter with Stourbridge. As the second half wore on it looked as if a draw would be the most that Chesham could hope for, but having got back into the game thanks to a gift equaliser, Chesham dominated the rest of the game and had plenty of chances to win but missed them all.

Danny Talbot was ruled out by the injury sustained at Windsor in midweek, so Dave Fotheringham captained the side, Sam Ledger started on the left with Chris Elsegood at right back and John Kyriacou pushed forward into midfield. Leon Archer also returned to the starting line-up...Report

There were two changes to the starting line-up, Steve Obeng replacing the injured Gabriel Fanibuyan and Dom Marsala coming in for Leon Archer who was late arriving at the ground. Former Chesham goalkeeper Delroy Preddie was playing for the home side.... Report

Chesham United 5 - 0 Tiverton Town

Saturday 4th September 2010

Chesham cruised to their biggest win for two seasons. This game was effectively decided by three goals in fourteen minutes just before half-time, after which Chesham turned on the style in the second half and two late goals put the seal on a fine performance.

There was one enforced change to the starting line-up, Chris Bangura coming in for Ricci Crace who was starting a three-match suspension. Tiverton had an early chance when Joe Bushin was given a free header from Chris Vinnicombe’s free kick but headed over. Chesham started to press but had only a couple of half-chances, firstly when Steve Wales’ cross was headed out to Dave Fotheringham who was off-balance and shot high and wide, then Chris Elsegood headed on a Wales corner to Rob Bartley who headed over. Midway through the half Chesham gave away a needless free kick on the edge of the area, Liam Ellis’ shot was blocked and the rebound came to Russell Gee whose shot crashed against the bar and bounced out...

Bedford Town 1 - 2 Chesham United

Saturday 28th August 2010

Chesham got back to winning ways with this narrow but comfortable victory over a Bedford side still without a win this season. After taking the lead in their first worthwhile attack Chesham took control of the game, Bedford only briefly threatening a comeback in the closing moments of the first half. In the second half Chesham were always in control and had a third goal wrongly disallowed.

Chris Elsegood made his Chesham debut in place of Sam Ledger who was missing due to work commitments, Gabriel Fanibuyan was fit again and there were two further changes in the interests of squad rotation, Leon Archer and Ricci Crace replacing Chris Bangura and Steve Obeng. Bedford started brightly and an early shot from Graham Clark was comfortably dealt with by Shane Gore, but it was Chesham who took the lead in the 14th minute... Report

Chesham United 0 - 2 Banbury United

Saturday 28th August 2010

Chesham conceded their first goals of the season and lost their unbeaten record to a previously winless Banbury side. Chesham were on top for most of the opening half-hour and Banbury’s opener came against the run of play, but as the game wore on Chesham looked less and less likely to get back into the game.

Gabriel Fanibuyan had not recovered from the injury sustained in the midweek game at Swindon Supermarine, so Dom Marsala started in the only change to the line-up. Banbury had the edge in the opening ten minutes, but after that Chesham took control. Steve Wales hit a speculative effort that had Banbury keeper Joe Murrell back-pedalling but was just over the bar.. Report

After coming through three relatively difficult fixtures, Chesham dropped their first points of the season against a Swindon side who were only kept off the bottom of the table by Weymouth’s points deduction. In fact the point and the fourth consecutive clean sheet were the only positives from the evening, as Chesham gave arguably their worst performance since the defeat at Oxford City in the FA Trophy nearly a year ago.

Chesham United 1 - 0 Brackley

Saturday 21st August 2010

Chesham are back on top of the Premier Division after a gap of six years. This victory made it three wins in three games, still without a goal conceded. Brackley were tipped to be among the front runners in the division, but are at the other extreme with only one point from three games in which they have not scored.

With Neil Sharp still not recovered from injury Chesham’s starting line-up was unchanged, Leon Archer returning to the bench. Chesham started well and in the second minute Danny Talbot’s right-foot shot was powerful but straight at Darren Acton in the visitors’ goal Report

Chesham United 2 - 0 Oxford City

Tuesday 17th August 2010

Chesham have had no problems adjusting to the step up to the Premier Division, this win making it two out of two with two clean sheets. Chesham took an early lead and never looked like relinquishing it, wrapping the game up with a second twelve minutes from time.

There was just one change to the starting line-up, Rob Bartley replacing Neil Sharp who had not recovered from the injury sustained at Truro. Danny Talbot made his 150th appearance and John Kyriacou his 100th for the club. Chesham made a dream start with a goal in the 5th minute, Steve Wales winning the ball on the right and switching play to Chris Bangura on the left, and Bangura played the ball into the middle where Wales ....

Truro City 0 - 3 Chesham United

Saturday 14th August 2010

Chesham made the rest of the division sit up and take notice with this opening day win against a Truro side expected to be among the title favourites. Chesham were deserved winners although the winning margin was slightly flattering. Apart from a five-minute spell shortly before half-time the home team rarely troubled the Chesham defence while Chesham always looked likely to add to their tally once Steve Wales had broken the deadlock.

New signings Chris Elsegood and Ricci Crace were missing because of suspensions carried over from last season, while Danny Gudgeon started a three-match ban for his dismissal at Barton last season, and Leon Archer was still away. There was a strong blustery wind blowing straight down the ground and Truro had it in their favour in the first half. In the opening minutes the home team looked the more dangerous but the wind dropped and Chesham came into the game more... Report
