The club have today confirmed that it plans to build a new purpose built 6000 seater stadium close to the present site of the clubs Youth Headquarters off Pole Hill Road Hillingdon.

The club are currently in talks with the landowners of the new site and hope to be able to confirm a long term agreement has been signed which will see Hillingdon FC establish a permanent home in Hillingdon.

The club has received an enormous amount of support from the local community for its plan, many of whom are cross at the prospect of the borough losing one of it's esablished homes of local non league football when Hayes FC's Church Road ground is developed for housing.

The club will issue further updates as the scheme develops.

We are to run in, conjuction with Middlesex County FA, a referees course at Gainsboro' Rd. The course will be run over 3 Saturdays and 2 Thursday evenings during November 2008. The course is open to all young and old, male and female. Each canditate must have reached their 14th birthday on or before the date of the exam. Full details are available from the notice board/s within the club house. There are a limited number of places remaining but we need to close applications on the 5th of November 2008.

The club house will be open from 6pm to 9pm to allow Parents/Managers to complete the registration of their players for the 2008/9 season.

Payment for next seasons fees should be made via a post dated cheque (if paying in full) dated 25/08/2008. If you are paying by standing order then please note the 1st payment will not be taken until the 1st of September 2008.

Please be sure to bring 4 PASSPORT SIZE PHOTO'S for each child registering.

Middlesex Youth Coach of The Year 2006.

John Regan was awarded the Youth Coach of The Year in recognition of his services to youth football over the past two years. The winning of this award is yet another milestone in our clubs road to our goal of raising our status as a football club that is an asset to the community in which we live.

Having Finished equal top of the league with Cowley FC, the teams met at Brookhouse to play off for the league title. HSFC won convincingly 3 - 1 and are 2005/6 Champions. (Full report U10'S)

Having won the Division One Title, the U12'S set their sights on a League and Cup double at Holloways Stadium on Sunday. Coming from a goal down we ran out 2 - 1 winners over Hayes FC and deservedly so. (full report U12'S).

I hope everybody is waking this morning with a tremendous sense of acheivement and pride. Last night at the British Airways Concorde Centre in Cranford I was privileged to oversee our clubs 18th Annual Trophy Presentation Night. I must thank Paul Sadler and his team for taking such great care of us all, and Paul in particular for making himself available all evening to help us accustom ourselves to the Concorde Centres superb facilities.

Presentation Night is a very special night for the club. In a world where work demands more and more of our time, it is a rare opprtunity for the whole club to come together socially and see first hand how well we are evolving as an asset to the community in which we live. We now field 11 teams each Sunday in both the Hayes and Slough District Youth Football Leagues and from what I hear this is likely to increase next season. With this season now complete (well except for our increasingly succesful U12's side, who have two Cup Finals and two Cup Semi Finals still to play.) we are turning our attention to locating a better facility from which we can develop our club still further. I can reveal that we are in negotiations with one organisation and have begun initial talks with another to this end.

I would like to thank our Club Secretary Linda McCready, our Club Treasurer David Heywood and all the Team Managers and Coaches for their continued efforts to make our club an organisation that everyone associated with it is very proud of.

Finally I must thank all the youngsters who turn out each week in red and black to enhance our reputation as a nice club.

John P. Ely.

The U12's won their League cup Semi Final away to Maidenhead 'A' to reach their second major final this season. The full story of this difficult victory is on the U12's page.

The U12's season seems to be finishing on a high, as they progressed through to the final of the Slough & Windsor Open Challenge Trophy with a 3 - 0 victory over Beaconsfield SYCOB FC at Stag Meadow on Sunday. Two goals from Jack Beadle and one from Nick Ely secured a comftable win over the Hayes & District  Division 1 side. The Final is to be played at Stag Meadow (home of Windsor & Eton FC & Slough Town FC) on May 14th 2006. At present we do not know who will be our opponents (Full match report U12's page).

This Sunday the U16's were at home to Windsor Comets FC in the Presidents Cup. In a very competitve game, performances of the calibre of MOM Jack Breden made the difference and goals by Liam Sheriden and Mustafa Alukaidey sealed an important victory.

The U12's made it a great 7 days for Hillingdon Saints FC winning through to a second Semi Final with a comprehensive victory over Hillingdon Irish Rangers FC, who themselves had the previous week won their own league.(Full story  U12's page)

The U16's fought their way to a well deserved victory 3 - 2 away to Langley Lions in the Quarter Finals of the Crystal Invitation Cup. As a vision of the team performance by our players Liam Sheridan's hat trick wasn't enough to get him the Man Of The Match award, which went to the classy Grant Axe, who was run fairly close by a couple of the other boys.

The U12's were away to New Windsor Kingfisher Whites in the quarter Finals of the Slough & Windsor Open Challenge Trophy. New Windsor Kingfisher Whites had held us to 1 - 0 last week in the league, but, as they say "a week is a long time in football" and our boys were on fire winning 10 - 3 and it could have been 12! (Full story U12's page).

Will all Team Managers please note that the FA 'Child Protection Course' is to be held at 7pm on the 6th of March 2006 at Feltham Community School, Browells Lane, Feltham, Middlesex. If for any reason you are unable to attend please let Linda McCready know as soon as possible.

As part of our desire to show our young players to every level of football, last night (28/02/06) our U12's team were at the Madejski Stadium (Reading FC) to watch England U21 beat Norway U21 3 - 1. Myself, seventeen boys, five parents/helpers and one of the players sisters enjoyed a cold but enthralling game of football. Reports that one of our players 'Mooned' a passing coach are being investigated by club officials.

The day we won the League!  (Full story U12's page).

Our U9's returned from Woodley Saints FC summer tournament (one of the biggest in the south of England) as winners in their age group. (Full story u9's  'A')

Ex - Hillingdon Saints player Kevin O’Connor today [Monday] signed a new three-year contract to stay at Griffin Park.

The 21-year-old was delighted at putting pen-to-paper after returning from international duty with the Republic of Ireland, to end speculation of his possible departure. Speaking exclusively to www.brentfordfc.co.uk, he said: “There have been a lot of players released for financial reasons. I’m just happy to sign, get a bit of security, and play at the club I’m happy with”.

“Being able to start last season, I went from strength to strength and hopefully this season i'll be able to get better and better with a bit of luck”.

With the possible return of Rowan Vine, Kevin could be competing for a place in the front line. Does he mind playing out of position if required? He replied: “It doesn’t to be honest. That’s the question a lot of people ask me. As long as I’m in the starting eleven, I don’t mind where I play, but I do like scoring goals. Who wouldn’t!”.

Kevin has gained an extra week’s break due to his under-21 duties but next season he will surely be pushing for a place in the full International squad. On this prospect, he said: “It would be nice but when you look at the senior squad it would be very hard, but you never know”.
 
You can listen to the interview with Kevin O’Connor on Brentford ClubCall (09068 121 108) and Bees World.

11th June 2003 (4 months since our launch), and already a thousand hits! That's great going if we continue at this rate we will  make 3000 hits in a year! Which will mean that the site is being well used.

O'CONNOR'S SEASON FINALLY OVER

Kevin O'Connor completed his lengthy season on Tuesday night, helping the Republic of Ireland under-21 side to a 1-1 draw with Georgia in Kilkenny.

The 21-year-old, who is expected to sign a three-year contract with The Bees next week, will earn an extra week's holiday after completing ten grueling months of football.

Georgia took the lead on 25 minutes, Dekanosidze's pass splitting the defence for Lado Akhalaia to score. Ireland levelled in the 53rd minute after a mistake by Mamaladze who failed to hold a Thornton free-kick. Defender Cryan was first to react, heading into an empty net. The Irish found themselves down to ten men after Keith Gilroy was sent off in the 62nd minute but hung on to gain a valuable draw.

Reports are coming in that our boys have returned from this years Summer tour to Yarmouth, but as of  yet we have not been able to get any feedback because the first two people we contacted to see how they had got on, had completely lost their voices!! and were unable to tell us!(full report to follow).

Hillingdon Saints Under 12's had a roller-coaster of a tour in Great Yarmouth.The format of their age groups in the tournament was quite simple.There were two groups of eight teams. Our team played each team in their group once. Thats a total of seven games. On the Saturday the 1st game was lost 4-0, the second was lost in the last minute 1-0, the third another 4-0 defeat,  the final game on Saturday finished 2-1 with the saints getting a late equaliser, but sadly the opposing side managed to get a last minute winner. On the Sunday the first game ended 5-0, but the last two games of the tournament changed everything. A 0-0 draw in the second game meant we were in joint 7th place, but the saints had a lower goal difference so were eighth. The team we were level with were the team we had to play in the final game.A win would see us second from bottom, but a draw or defeat would mean finishing bottom of our group. A 1-0 win meant the Saints under 12's ended up second from bottom, but needed to finish in the top two to qualify for the semi finals.

The U'9s had a very enjoyable day out at Camberley this year. We took two teams and both teams qualified for the plate competition, one being beaten on penalties in the sixth round and the other losing in the semi final. Each year we travel to this event we are improving, so roll on next year! I would just add that we would recommend this tournament as it is held at a great facility and is well organised.

       HAYES STADIUM  Judge Heath Lane, Hayes, Middlesex.

Saturday nights trophy presentations were a great success. 400 players, parents and friends of Hillingdon Saints FC were present to see our boys receive their trophies from Brentford FC and Ireland U21's player Kevin O' Connor. The "Special" award winners are listed below, but they all pay tribute to their team mates, because without them they would not be receiving their trophies. The Managers/Coaches can take great pride in the list below,  because without you none of this would be possible.

Sandgate FC just pipped the Under 15's to the Division II title by one point!  I think a comment by one of the players sums it up quite neatly," We took six points off " The champions" this season, so we can only look to ourselves and earlier games (Havelock!) for the reason why we're not top!
