Hamworthy United are worth a mention - they seem to be attracting some decent players and a Top Manager into their new set-up.

[glow=red,2,300][/glow] Sunderland Football Club are well supported and are also moving in a New Direction. At Hamworthy United we don't mind banter. Remarks of this nature are a waste of space. The person in charge of Managing any Team deserves respect. Sunday Football is moving forward in Dorset.

Whoever is posting under HUFC, are you for real? Your posts don't seem to make any sense. They all seem to be nothing more than random buzz words and some blatantly false assertions. A few questions.
1. "this is a blend of young and experienced Sunday League players determined to progress to Wessex Premier League standard and beyond."
Are you suggesting that you can get promoted from Dorset Sunday League into the Wessex (and beyond), or that you'll reform as a Saturday side after taking the Sunday League by storm? If so what do your current Saturday side think? How will three teams share the County Ground on Saturdays?
2. "quality players are the cutting edge of a finely tuned side"
What does this actually mean (if anything)?
3. "We intend to be competitive and are looking forward to playing the best Teams in all competitions this Season"
You wont be playing any of the 'best teams in all competitions this season' as you put it because you will be playing in Dorset Div 2, and competing for the Intermediate Cup, not the Senior Cup. The only way you might play someone half decent is if you draw Lions or Sandford in the League Cup.
4. "The person in charge of Managing any Team deserves respect."
Why the hell does the manager of any team DESERVE respect? With me people EARN respect.
5. "Remarks of this nature are a waste of space."
Your posts have taken up more space than the comment you refer to and don't seem to have any substance to them.

Sorry, in my haste I missed your most ridiculus assertion of all, the one that actually prompted me to reply in the first place.
"Sunday Football is moving forward in Dorset."
What a load of junk! If you are refering to the Dorset League, then you really couldn't be more wrong. The Dorset League is becomming a farce. Each year there are less and less quality sides in it. Every season so many teams seem to leave they have to reduce the number of leagues. Just because you've formed a Sunday side does not mean football in Dorset is moving foward. I mean get over yourself! If you're refering to Dorset in general, i.e. BFA leagues, then although not getting worse, things don't seem to be showing huge signs of moving foward. Maybe you can explain why things are moving foward in Dorset Sunday football.

:)Everything makes sense if you take time to read things through and yes we are very much for REAL. Any random 'buzz'words are only a response to previous Questions. 'blatantly false assertions' I take to mean lies then.My answer is that it would not be in the Club's best interest or mine to do so. Q1.Any player has the chance to progress to Wessex League standard within this Football Club if they are Coached and encouraged to be better and have the attitude that goes with being noticed by the First Team Management. Sunday Football players here will share their talent in the First Team on Saturdays for the reasons previously mentioned. Q2.Good Coaching and Management produce Teams that are sharp and focused on the day. Q3.We are looking forward to playing any Team during 2006/7 and if there are only 2 then I'm sure the players will enjoy entertaining the spectators on a Sunday morning. Q4.Any Football Manager at this or any other level is respected for the standards in which they or their Team operate and conduct themselves. Q5.Remarks about a person's support or physical size are in my opinion offensive. In this small part of the World an attempt is being made to change the attitude of grassroots Football this Season on Sundays, by trying a different approach involving Volunteers who are willing to give up their free time,help an established and ambitious Club enjoy a fantastic Sport,and in short produce some long term benefits that keep our dreams alive. There is always a Welcome at Hamworthy United Football Cub.

"Everything makes sense if you take time to read things through" No it didn't, not to me anyway and I read it more than once. Not being funny but I'm not stupid, and I couldn't make out what a lot of it was about. Funnily enough, now you've answered my questions without the buzz words and cryptic phrases, I know exactly what you mean and where the team is comming from.
"'blatantly false assertions' I take to mean lies then" You made an assertion that evidence seems to contrdict (Dorset Sunday League improving). It's not like calling someone a liar, it's more like saying it's your opinion, however it is wrong. I'm sure you can see the difference.
"Good Coaching and Management produce Teams that are sharp and focused on the day." Thanks, what you actually said ("quality players are the cutting edge of a finely tuned side") does not mean this though. Thats often the trouble with these buzz words and cryptic phrases, you've really got to think about what they actually mean before posting them.
"Any Football Manager at this or any other level is respected for the standards in which they or their Team operate and conduct themselves." The point I'm making here is that the person may be a complete ass, and may not conduct themself in a respectable manner. If so they deserve no respect, hence they must EARN respect (like anyone else in any other walk of life) for me.

Anyway, now I understand what it's all about, I'll say it sounds interesting. What support are you getting from the Saturday setup? I know you're getting the facilities, but are they supplying coaches, players even (doubt it because Chris Farrels probably tapped them up already )? You said your players were looking to play at Wessex and above. Sounds like you've got big plans. Given this I'm surprised you've chosen the Dorset League.

The Saturday contingent of the club have been most welcoming to our plans and are happy that there are more players involved with the club. Even if if we get two or three players moving up into the first team squad this season, its an acheivement!
The only options that the club had of hosting a Sunday League team were in either of the Dorset Leagues 1, 2 or 3. And remember, the Sunday side will be closely allied to a team competing at Wessex League standard, with the possibility of players moving up a level during the season, depending on their individual progress.

Thats one huge step. Most players capable of making it already have.
The difference in standard between the Dorset Sunday leagues, and even the DPL which your reserves play in is huge. The difference in standard between Dorset Sunday Div 2 and Wessex premier is just plain enormous. I would be truly surprised if you managed to get one player through to the reserves, let alone the first team. It really is a shame that you couldn't get into the Bournemouth Leagues as Dorset is so bad half decent players well below Wessex standard are able to run rings round most teams. That will make spotting talent worthy of your first team all the more difficult.
That said though, I can imagine you may attract enough players good enough to do well in Dorset Div 2 if they think they have the chance of getting into Wessex Premier football via the back door. I just don't think they'll succede.
How do players get spotted? Are Simpkin and Farrell getting involved, or are some of the coaches/manager respected names down at the County Ground. Any names of those getting involved?

[glow=red,2,300][/glow]WTF, Hi I am very gratefull for your comments because you make vary valid and sensible opinions in your last reply.There is a huge step, and being realistic if 1 or more make it to the next level then our coaching methods will have paid off.There is no paid budget or well known Managers/coaches involved in this. We have qualified coaches and Managers with experience of local football within our Sunday Staff set-up. Our just rewards WILL be acheived by the many hours of voluntary time we put in to preparation on and off the field by looking at, and inviting suitable players that, have and want, the desire to play and be part of an ongoing long term plan. The Management Team(S&F) in charge of First Team affairs, have no involvement other than an interest that we may produce the necessary quality of player that in their opinion can help H.U.F.C. in the future. We face a long Season with a lot of Football to play and lots of hours on the training ground. Results are the bench mark for any success that comes our way involving the Team group or individuals that are seen by the right people in Match situations. Our hard working Staff will be more than happy to reach the height of respect for acheiving the 'impossible' - dream - down at the County Ground by this time Next Year. And also brag and crow about it as well in Names. An Invitation to come down and watch us play is open to anyone with the time to support Sunday morning Football, in an Arena that is a shade better than open Parks can provide for talented grassroots players that want to get recognised. Thanks again for your debate and opinion, it is not falling on deaf ears!!!

Sounds like you've got your work cut out, all sounds good though. Ham Reserves play in Dorsets top Saturday League, so getting players through to the reserves should also be considered a success. I'll definately be popping down for a look.
All the best for the comming season.
