Our pre season training and matches were limited due to players being on holiday and it was not until September that we got everyone together, 2 good wins and a heavy defeat in our warm up games have given mixed indications but confidence remains high.
The new arrivals combined with the existing players give us cause for optimism about the forthcoming season, there is a feeling that we have a strong squad with strength in depth, the balance of the squad appears to be right with a good mix of players and capabilities. Good football and some luck may make possibility of winning something become reality.

The Team Management
|
Adam Capper (Mgr)The Guvn'r
Football runs in Adam's blood, his support for Chelsea knows no bounds, he was heard to say during the boys first get-together in 2001 that Chelsea were the only team to follow, unsurprisingly a large number of boys appeared the following week in the `correct kit'.
Feared by everyone, his `press-up' punishment for boys who don't pay attention is often carried out by the watching parent as they hear their surname being screamed across the park at the offending squad member.
Adam wants all his teams to win games, he looks for the players to acquit themselves well in every game, and he expects his squads to fight to the final whistle. Whilst losses are part of the game, defeat to a team that we should have beaten does not go down well. (More parents are seen doing press-ups)
Larkfield through and through, Adam is keen to see Larkfield teams at all levels do well and competing for honours in league and cup.

Glynn Vaughan (Coach)The Quiet One
Glynn sees much but says little, normally because he cannot get a word in edgeways, he is keen to extol the virtues of playing the simple game, looking up and using the width of the pitch.
How a Tottenham supporter got to run a team with a Chelsea fan is unknown but one supposes a large amount of Stella going in a certain direction was involved.
The traditional `Vaughan' warm-up has the boys mincing round the pitch, we are assured that this behaviour is perfectly normal, although there are rumours that ballet outfits have been seen in the back of his car.
Glynn like Adam, is keen to see the squad develop their playing skills, he believes in playing the right way, learning to treat the ball as a friend and not something to be hoofed from one end of the pitch to the other. A good passing movement, with a well-taken goal as the end result, is guaranteed to bring a smile to his face.glynnvaughan@aol.com

Debra Norden (Admin)Miss Moneybags
You know when the end of the first game is approaching when you can hear the rattle of the subs tin from halfway across the field, quickly followed by the words “£4.00 please”.
Debra got conned into being treasurer by Adam (why did nobody warn her?), `could somebody do me a favour', asked Adam one Saturday back in the depths of time, `and collect the subs today'. Debra responded positively and with a knowing smile Adam said `Thanks'. Two years later and she is still collecting the subs, phoning parents when Adam cancels 6.00pm training at 5.30pm and generally running around for him.

Martin Norden (Admin)
Happy that his son was playing football and his wife was running around playing treasurer, Martin was pleased that he could watch the games in peace and quiet. However, the first newsletter that came round soon put paid to that, the words `please let Debbie and Martin know' appeared at the bottom of the letter. How had he got involved?
Now there is the monthly meeting to attend, the match statistics to be maintained, the opportunity to help out at training (Adam needed a goalkeeper to make up the numbers!!), the newsletter to be written etc etc.
Remember, this could happen to you if you volunteer to help set up the goal posts before a match. You have been warned.

In the Begining (by Martin)

The team was founded during the summer of 2001 when training was set up for a new group of under 7 children. The plan was to provide a full year of training mixed with friendlies and tournaments prior to commencing the season 2002/2003 as under 8's.
From the original group of children, a number were selected to play with Larkfield Juniors U8's, this meant that they were playing a year above their actual age group.
The experience for these children was invaluable, although they didn't win many games they learnt a lot about what was required from them the following year when they commenced their playing in their correct age group.
In the summer of 2002 those children who played a year up rejoined the remainder of the squad and the teams were drawn up for the forthcoming 2002/2003 season.
Tournaments featured prominently during that summer with the boys reaching 4 finals and one semi final from the 5 entered. Unfortunately runners up medals prevailed as a winner's medal proved elusive.
