Gerald Reilly, club Chairman, turns 60 today and we couldnt miss the chance to share it. A long suffering Spurs fan, Gez is the heartbeat of the club and we certainly wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for him.
From everyone at the club, we hope you have a fantastic day 🎉💚
After establishing himself as a key player in the first team towards the conclusion of last year, it's truly fantastic to see Auzzie reaffirm his commitment by re-signing. His impressive performance's have undoubtedly earned him a significant role within the team.
Full time: Long Crendon 2 (James Hawkes, Scott Chappell) Wokingham & Emmbrook 1.
A thrilling last six minutes sees us score twice to turn over an excellent Wokingham side, after a soft penalty for handball. A great three points against a side that should be right up there. 💚
Final score: Camberley Town 1 Long Crendon 1 (Lane). Crendon won 5-4 on pens.
Superb spirit today from a young squad. Penalties scored by Brownsword, Pounds, Ashworth, Chappell and youngster Billy Herbert with the winner. Thanks to

Superb from the boys today. Two defenders making their first league start of the season and only twelve fit bodies in the squad. Pure heart and team spirit when it was needed…and a bit of quality at times too 💚

A little later than originally planned 😬 we present our August Player of the Month…George Ashworth. He's nailed down a starting midfield slot and covered every blade of grass during a great month
Final score: Burton Park Wanderers 1 Long Crendon 5 (Chappell, O.G., T Ashworth, A Pettingell, Lethbridge).
We make it six straight wins in November to move up to fifth in the table. Horrible conditions but we did a professional job without playing as well as recently.
