Man of the Match v Witton
Anyway, the 'Karl Vaughan sponsored man of the match' went to Rory Fallon. Well done Rory and to all the players for a great second half performance. The players showed a lot of character and fight after a pretty poor first half!
Two other points... firstly, it was a pleasure to welcome back Trafford favourite, Ally Brown. I thought he, as well as the rest of the Witton players were excellent. As were most of their fans, apart from one bloke who shouted that Trafford were a shit club with a shit ground to us on his way out!!! Charming!
Secondly, a massive thank you to everyone that made my wedding anniversary such a top day! You know who you are... it was much appreciated!
See you all at FC Utd on New Years Day where the roller coaster ride continues!

Man of the Match v Droyelsden
Without being disrespectful to Droyelsden, many Trafford fans turned up today expecting an easy game. It was anything but! A combination of Droylseden's spoiling tactics (more fouls than passes), Traffords reluctance to move the ball quickly and the referee's insistence on making wrong decision after wrong decision meant we were in for a long 95 minutes!
Anyway, 3 points is points and we are now on the up in terms of our league position.
1-0 might not of been the winning margin we were hoping for/expecting but considering we went down to 10 men and had a penalty saved, I'll take 1-0 all day!
Enough of my ramblings and to the 'Karl Vaughan Sponsored Trafford FCSC's Man of the Match', even though he missed a penalty, "he controlled the midfield, although Martyn and Rory ran him close" were Karl's words. Yes, Tom Schofield (my personal favourite player) was todays MOTM.
So well done Tom and well done to Trafford and see you in 2 days for Ally Browns return as Witton visit Shawe View... ANOTHER big game! (aren't they all?)

Christmas Curry 2013
The evening started with drinks being drunk and people starting to get the same way, with the exception of Matt Brown who was pretty much that way when he turned up haha!
After a few raffles, starters were served and polished off before some more raffling, alcohol and chit-chat was had. All the while, the Trafford buzzer game championships were taking place. With anyone who could complete the challenge through to the next round, 3 goes each permitted.
The mains were just as good as the starters and after the generous and tasty portions were finished it was on to 'Nick Brown's Play Your Cards Right'. Nick was a great host and lots of fun was had with some of his 'We asked 100 people' questions.
After the whole of the Deccan broke out in to 'Trafford FC' songs, many of us headed off to the Nags Head to watch Matt Brown's dance moves!
A great night was truly had and although I did some organising, a MASSIVE well done and thank you must go to Mel and Tim of the supporters club for making the night what it was. They arranged all the games and prizes and put in a lot of effort and time, so much appreciation to you both.
Also, thank you to all those at The Deccan for letting us take over your restaurant. Your hospitality and food was amazing.
We look forward to a great second half of the season and we'll be back next year with 'Christmas Curry 2014'!
P.S. The Trafford buzzer game championships was a closely fought competition that was eventually won by yours truly in a time of 22 seconds. I don't want to make too much of a fuss but I thought it deserved a mention ;-)

Man of the Match - Blyth Spartans
I personally thought the Man of the Match award could have gone to any one of 3 players; Nia, Bret or Callum. In the end it was decided that Callum Jones was the worthy winner.
Callum was confident, good on the ball and constantly talking to other players around him. The future looks good with Callum in the team.
Well done to Callum and all the players and good luck in the forth coming games!

For scoring some cracking goals and being a huge factor in the points we picked up through-out the month, the supporters overwhelmingly chose SHELTON PAYNE as the POTM!

Meeting Reminder
Tomorrow (Thursday 5th December) is our last meeting before Xmas and of the year. We have a couple of major items to discuss so it would be brilliant to see you all attend.
The meeting is at the Nags Head (always give us a lovely welcome) at 8pm.
After the meeting there will be sandwiches provided (again, by the lovely people at the Nags Head) and a friendly and not too competitive pool competition.
New comers/non-members are always welcome.

Away days - Glossop North End
Anyway, I arrived in Glossop after stopping at every random station possible! The ground was only a 10 minute walk from the station and I tried to head for the big tower (as instructed), although this proved difficult in the pitch black conditions.
The ground itself is pretty decent. Lovely little club house and the pitch not too bad (a little slanted).
A quick pint downed and it was out for the first half. A fairly even and entertaining half that saw Trafford go in 1 up at half time.
The second half saw Glossop play above their league status and they had most of attacking play but they missed many chances/Kieran made some brilliant saves (depending on how you want to look at it!). It was a very scrappy half with lots off niggly fouls, Glossops number 5 particularly liked hugging anyone in Yellow!
Some cracking banter with the linesman and one or two Glossop locals and before we knew it, the full time whistle had gone. Trafford held on for a 1-0 win and into the semi-finals.
A lift home from taxi Tim and Mel and finally I grabbed some tea... peanutbutter on toast!
Non-league football - you can't beat it!

MotM v Ashton United
Nia looked somewhere near his best with a strong performance at the back and pushed the eventual winner all the way. But with two goals and an assist, Ritchie's MOTM went to Shelton Payne. a cracking performance and as we all know, on his day, there is non better!
The other main highlight was seeing Ritchie land on his arse as he fell up the mound in the slippery conditions... much to all our amusement!
Well done Shelton and see you all in Stamford on Saturday for ANOTHER massive game!

MotM v Buxton
Whilst we weren't at our best, with a stronger referee and linesman (especially), Trafford would have been playing 3/4 of this match against 10 men after Payne was tripped when through on goal.
Anyway, a scrappy game ended in our 1st draw of the season against a team that has only lost once away from home all season. Shelton Payne was bright and lively in the first half and was causing Buxton (and the linesman) all kinds of problems. Overall though, Karl Vaughan chose Martyn Andrews as the TFCSC's Man of the Match.
Martyn has been quality this season (as he was last season) and fully deserved the award. Well done to Martyn and in the end we have to look at it as a good point earned by the team. Now to Tuesday (rain permitting) and another big test at home against Chorley FC.
COME ON TRAFFORD!

Player of the Month - September
All the supporters' would like to commend Rory on his start to the season. Rory has been nothing short of outstanding in terms of intensity, quality and consistency! A massive well done to Rory in winning this award for the 2nd time running.
He was presented with the POTM award before today's game against Wakefield by our very own Richie.

MotM v Fylde
Any number of players could easily have picked up the supporters MOTM but in the end 'Old' George went for Andy Smart. Smarty had a cracking game, as did others but his 25 yard scorcher proved vital at 0-0.
Well done to Andy Smart and the rest of the team and good luck on Saturday.

Accounts for the 4 months that we have been going were released and it was fantastic to see how much we have actually raised!

A huge thank you to everyone involved.
