Hallam FC

Firstly, I just want to say a big thank you to the chairman for retaining myself and the rest of the coaching staff for the next season. It’s been a pleasure to manage Hallam FC, albeit through a difficult period, and I can’t wait to get back to normal and get a full season completed, push ourselves as far as we can, and compete at the top end of the table.

Ever since last summer when I came on board, the fans have been absolutely fantastic. Their vocal and financial support has been second to none and I personally can’t wait to get as many people in once restrictions have been lifted. Hopefully, we can play some entertaining football and pick the wins up along the way.

Hallam FC 3 - 2 Brigg Town

For the last time before Christmas, the Hallam faithful were welcomed back to Sandygate, with the Covid-restricted ticket allocation selling out in a remarkable two minutes and four seconds! The visitors were Brigg Town FC for this Northern Counties East League Division One match.

The first half got underway with instant end-to-end action, and both 'keepers played out of their skins, producing a series of outstanding saves. As the first half neared its end, it seemed the goalkeeping heroics would maintain the stalemate, until the 45^th minute when Brigg were awarded a penalty. Jack Bowskin converted, meaning that at half-time the Zebras' late penalty was the only difference between the two teams.

Hallam FC 0 - 2 Shildon AFC

att: 150

For the first time since October, Sandygate welcomed back the Hallam faithful, this time a COVID-restricted crowd of 150. The Countrymen's opponents were Shildon AFC, from the Northern League Division One, for an FA Vase match under the cold December floodlights.

The first half saw both teams creating chances, with Hallam coming close to finding the back of the net on a number of occasions. But it was Shildon who sustained the most pressure, forcing Hallam's 'keeper Sam Andrew into making some smart saves. The Countrymen remained strong in defence, though, and following another fine save from 'keeper Sam Andrew, the scoreline remained level at 0-0 when the half-time whistle blew.

FA VASE 2nd round against Shildon AFC

Following a recent change in the FA's Covid-19 guidance we can now have 150 supporters into Sandygate. Please note the guidance says Home Fans only.

Hallam FC 4 -3 AFC Blackpool

After the enforced Covid-19 lockdown, it was wonderful to welcome football back to Sandygate, albeit without Hallam's amazing supporters. The guests at a chilly and damp Sandygate were AFC Blackpool for this first round tie of the FA Vase.

The weather conditions may have been cold with the occasional flurry of icicle-like rain, but both teams served up a scorcher of a game! With little more than two minutes on the clock, the Countrymen opened the scoring when a Hallam corner was converted by Max Pemberton. However almost from the restart, Blackpool were back in the game when Connor Ikin headed home the equaliser.

In the seventh minute, Kieren Watson's determination and persistence, refusing to give up on a ball that seemed destined for the Blackpool 'keeper's hands, gave him his first of the afternoon and Hallam's second.
