Malcolm

Club Secretary

The committee are pleased to announce the management structure for next season.

The 1st team will be managed by Brian Newton again. We will be hoping to build on our success of the last 2 years now we are back in the Premier League.

The reserves will be managed by Jimmy Beale. Jimmy will be hoping to continue the run of 7 straight wins that we had at the end of the season. Promotion from Division 3 will be the target.

The colts will be managed by Dan McCaffrey. Dan is hoping to have another strong intake of youth players from Cosmos, who will hopefully be too strong for Division 8.

Let's hope that the atmosphere and attitude is as good as last season and the club continues to be successful.

Don't forget training will be on Tuesday and Thursday from 15th June.

Although I haven't personally heard it officially, it appears that we were NOT awarded the points from our defeat to Heath Pilgrims and therefore consequently finished our Division One campaign in the runners-up position after all. I say this because the League Management committee met last night to create the Division's for next season and presumably would have been keen to conclude our issue too. Mittoo does not reflect any subsequent award of points. Whatever the outcome, the first team are back in the Premier next year and I don't think it's been stated on the site until now..........Congratulations to the management and each of the players for such an enjoyable and ultimately rewarding season for the Club!

Our seconds will start next year in Division Three, a promotion by name at least and just reward for such a strong finish to the season. The Colts remain in Division Eight where they will expexct to continue their steady progress.

Want to know who you will be up against next year exactly? I thought so. Here you go.......

FORMATION OF DIVISIONS 2010 – 2011

Excuse me for bigging my son up a little but I think I have genuine reason................

He's literally playing for Aston Villa today!

Put on stand-by yesterday by the Premiership club to help out as a result of injury to their squad, they confirmed to him this morning that they need him to take part in the International Soccer Sevens being hosted by his Hong Kong club!

Bad luck to CTFC Vets who lost 4-1 to Hassocks in the Fred Pretty Veterans Final on Sunday.

CTFC fell behind after only 7 minutes to a penalty and a further headed goal from a corner put us 2-0 down at the break. We did have our chances to reduce the deficit before half-time with Dave Johnson hitting the post, Mark Pamment having a header ruled out for offside and Paul Dunk missing a great chance when put through by Dave Johnson.

However Hassocks picked up the pace in the second half and ran out worthy winners. We did pull a goal back through a Christian Macrae free-kick to make the score 3-1 but Hassocks added a fourth close to the end.

Despite the defeat it was a great achievement to reach the final and the old boys seemed to enjoy trying to re-live their former glory years.

Our result against Horsted Keynes in the Mowatt Cup last night was our 18th Cup Final victory but never before was such an emphatic result achieved!

Ben Lusk and Nolan Mortimer joined the elite club of Cup Final hat-trick heroes, who's membership until yesterday consisted of a solitary Christian Macrae! Perhaps its something about April 27th. Christian scored his Cup Final hat-trick on the same date in 1991 when he contributed towards a 4-2 victory over St. Francis Hospital in the Montgomery Cup.

That was our third Mowatt Cup won. The first being in 1933, which the history books reveal, commmenced our decades of top-flight honours achieved, as prior to that we had never before won a cup final. Our last Mowatt Cup winning squad of 1979 included John White within its ranks, nice that Dan was involved this time around.

Back to Nolan for a moment. His first goal for Cuckfield came in a 7-2 victory against St. Francis Hospital ten days after the 1991 cup final win. One other fact worth recording here that won't be in our record books; Nolan states that last nights match was the final game of his career. I understand that during his time in Sussex football, he has now played in Eight finals and won the lot! Perhaps if we'd have told Horsted Keynes that before the game, they might not have bothered to show up! But anyway, who out there could dream of a better way to sign out than scoring a hat-trick in a Final in your last match?!

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT YOURS ALREADY, NOW'S THE TIME TO BUY YOUR 'END OF SEASON PARTY' TICKETS!
