Fixture change

Regrettably, Billericay Town FC have had to withdraw from the friendly fixture against Enfield Town FC on Saturday 28th August. Cheshunt FC have agreed to provide our opposition instead. The match will be played at Brimsdown, kick-off at 3 p.m. Enfield Town FC would like to thank Cheshunt for agreeing to the fixture at such short notice.

Just a reminder that the first-ever Enfield Town match will be against Brimsdown Rovers at the Goldsdown Road ground on Tuesday 24th July, kick-off 7:30 p.m. Both this and the Cheshunt home game will be played on the Downs pitch as the main one is not available pre season.

Enfield Town poised to enter the Cherry Red Trophy

Enfield Town Football Club have applied to compete in the Cherry Red Books Trophy for season 2001-02. This competition is primarily for clubs who would normally qualify for the FA Vase but, for various reasons, are unable to do so. Most of the competitors are affiliated to Essex, Herts and Middx leagues and the opening rounds are played on a zonal basis. All the games are decided on the day, by extra-time and then penalties if scores are level after ninety-minutes.

Enfield Town FC, being formed too late for inclusion in this season's FA Vase, have therefore applied to join this competition in order to reduce the number of blank Saturday's at the start of the season.

At training night last Tuesday...

15 players attended training night (10/7/01), including Danny Clarke, Ronnie Watson, Volcan Gundogdu and Andy Hall.
