The club held its Youth Presentation and once again it was a roaring success with over 350 people in attendance.

On hand to give out the trophies once again was the club captain James Baldry and 1st team top goalscorer BJ Christie and the club would like to thank them for giving up their Saturday to be there.

Over 60 trophies were handed out to all the players, which included Players Player, Managers Player, Supporters Players, Appearances Awards and various League Trophies.

The committee would like to thank everyone who helped out on the day and without them the day would have not been a success.

AFC Dunstable youth teams once again had a succesful and fantastic season.

 

AFC Dunstable have announced their kit sponsorship deals for 2012-13.

 

 

In the inaugural playing for the David Preece Memorial Trophy, the Hatters blitzed the first half as they hit 6 without reply. In front of a crowd of 1109, AFC saw the management team test out some new faces with Michael Moss and Steve Hawes. Luton fielded a very strong side in the 1st half and it showed when they took the lead after only 2 minutes through skipper Greg Taylor. It was soon 2-0 when local boy Adam Watkins fired home. The goals kept coming as AFC saw the possibilty of conceding double figures. Further goals from Andre Gray (2), Alex Lawless and Dan Walker completed the rout in the 1st half.

Luton made some changes in the 2nd half and probably took their foot off the gas and AFC slowly started to compete a bit better. A big cheer went up for AFC when BJ Christie pulled a goal back on 50 minutes. Was it time to change the orange ribbons on the trrophy to blue, sadly no, as Stuart Fleetwood made it 7. The rest of the game was played out as AFC were thankful they drew the 2nd half 1-1. The gulf of 4 steps in the national league system was on full view today but AFC would not have had it any other way and thankyou to Paul Buckle for bringing over a strong team for the game.

 

The match was sponsored by Priority Print and AFC Dunstable thank their MD Andy Lomas. AFC also hope that the directors of Luton enjoyed their day. The players of Luton signed a ball and it was presented to Andy below.

AFC Dunstable Ladies team will be attending a mayoral civic reception to honour their fantastic achievement of being unbeaten throughout their league campaign.

Playing 18 games, they won 11 and drew 5 winning the league by 5 points from Stevenage Borough.

 

With the championship in the bag, the ladies will be taking up the challenge in the Eastern Region Womens League for 2013-14.

AFC Dunstable go into the 2013-14 season with 33 teams, the same as last season.

There has been a couple of changes though. We will be going into the season with 2 ladies teams, the Under 11 Reds have merged with the other Under 11 teams and we welcome a new Under 10 team.

 

All in all we will have 27 youth teams covering every age group possible, 2 disability teams, 2 ladies teams, the reserves and 1st Team.

 

We wish all our teams a enjoyable and hopefully a succesful season.

The draws for the FA Cup, FA Vase and FA Youth Cup have been made.

 

The 1st team enter the FA Cup at the Extra Preliminary Round on August 17th with a tough trip to fellow SSMFL Premier Division rivals Berkhamsted. We have never registered a point against the Comrades at Broadwater in  league meetings over the past 3 seasons. If we do progress then its a home tie against Harefield United or Woodford United.

 

The FA Vase see's the 1st Team have a glamour tie against AFC Rushden and Diamonds. We host the former Football League club on the 7th September. The current club is the result of a re- incarnation of Rushden and Diamonds, who of course went bust a couple of seasons back. Hoddesdon Town await the winners.

 

Our Under 18's also face a team from Rushden in the FA Youth Cup. They entertain Rushden and Higham United in the week commencing the 23rd September.

 

Our Ladies Blues team await their fate in the FA Womens Cup which is yet to be drawn.

After 4 seasons wearing Joma kits, the club have now gone over to Errea.

Errea is a very well known brand and worn by many professional clubs. It has the flair that is associated with Italian designers.

 

The reason for the change, is that we can now order kits from a local supplier.

 

The kit can be seen on our Under 13 Girls Team

 

 

AFC Dunstable are delighted to announce that they have appointed Steve Heath as there new 1st Team Manager.

After the departure of Alex Butler, the club decided to not rush into a hasty decision and interviewed 4 candidates for the position.

 

They found Steve had everything they were looking for and their paths have crossed in the past, so he was known to the club.

 

Steve has a wealth of Spartan South Midlands experience with Kings Langley and latterly with Leverstock Green.

His CV is impressive reading, as he has gained 2 promotions with Kings Langley and winning many cups.

With Leverstock Green he took them to 4th position in the Premier Division in 2010/11 and the last 16 in the FA Vase. He also won the West Herts Charity Cup with Leverstock Green.

 

He also meets all the coaching credentials the club insist on being a FA Charter Community Club. He is currently a Level 2 coach and is working his way to a UEFA B.

 

Chairman Simon Bullard said " Steve will be a great appointment for the club, as he also takes an interest in youth football, which has been missing in the past. We will give him all the support he needs"

 

Steve will take charge of team on Saturday when Holmer Green visit Creasey Park this Saturday.

AFC Dunstable Disability secured the Bedfordshire FA Division One title.

 

AFC Dunstable's Tournament will be held on Saturday 31st May and Sunday 1st June 2014 at Creasey Park, the home of AFC Dunstable.
