Sepede New Man At Penn - 22nd May

John Sepede (pictured) is the new first team Manager at Penn & Tylers Green F.C. succeeding the departing Matt Miller.

Chairman Tony Hirst commented: “This will be a popular appointment at P&TGFC, as John is well known locally and has a good knowledge of the Hellenic league and the local football community in general. He has past links to the club and has been coaching at Flackwell Heath for the last couple of years, a club he also played for. We are confident that John and his team can carry on the legacy inherited from Matt and enhance the squad and move the club forward even more next season. To that aim we hope that all of last season’s squad sign up again to what we hope and believe could be our most successful season for many years .”

John will be meeting all the players and fellow coaches in the coming weeks when the  training schedules will be announced and in the meantime please view our website at penntylersgreenfc.co.uk, for updated details on all P&TFC football matters.

Saddened By Miller's Departure - 4th May

Penn & Tylers Green chairman Tony Hurst expressed sadness and disappointment at Matt Miller's recent resignation as Penn's first team manager.

Hurst, pictured, commented: "I would, on behalf of the whole club, like to thank Matt and his assistants for moving the club forward this season and we wish him all the best in his new post at Flackwell Heath and beyond, and being a "Penn boy" at heart, I know, from our meetings on the subject, it was a hard decision for him to make. We hope it proves to be the right one for him. Matt has galvanised an excellent group of players this season and we are progressing well as a unit and there has been improvement throughout the club this season because of Matt's influence. We also very much hope that all this seasons players will stay, along with any new players who are most welcome, and help continue this progression and take the club forward. We rely on great team spirit and loyalty at this club. We are also very proud of our record of developing young players through our junior teams, many of whom have progressed to higher levels of football than the Hellenic League. Although we have no such thing as "player budgets" and "sugar daddies" to support us, we are a very professionally run club at all levels, including operating within prudent financial budgets, and we also cherish our Community Charter Standard Status."

Heathens Visit PTG - 22nd July

One East Penn Tylers Green will face a stern test against Buckinghamshire rivals Premier Division Flackwell Heath this Saturday.

Pre-Season training is moving along nicely at PTGFC. Over 50 players are turning up at every training session and the first team now have three games under their belt, losing out to Slough Town and Beaconsfield SYCOB, and beating Wraysbury. Many players have been used so far as Manager Matt Miller and his coaching team strive to find the starting line up for the first league game at home to Woodley Town on August 14th 3pm Kick Off.

Penn Prepare For Season - 30th June

Penn & Tylers Green FC, under the newmanagement team of Matt Miller (Ex-Slough Town) and Coach Richard Camden, commence pre-season training at the club on Tuesday July 6th commencing 7.15pm.

All existing Players and new players welcome. Penn will be running three sides again this season, two in the Hellenic League and One in the Senior Section of the Wycombe & District League. The Reserves will once again be managed by Steve Laing and the A team by Rob Chappell.

710 Behind Hurst - 25th June

Penn Tylers Green first team regular Chris Hurst completed the recent Penn Fun Run, a distance of approximately 3.5 miles and came second out of a field of 712 in a time of approximately 20 minutes, on a very hot afternoon in sunny Penn.

A marvellous achievement and testimony to his self imposed dedicated fitness regime of the last few months, and so we are expecting him to carry on the good work and return  to pre-season training in tip top condition, although a weeks break in Turkey, on a "cultural mission" may hinder his progress in that area.  This is the second time Chris has taken the runners-up spot in this event.

Life Membership For Laing - 25th June

During PTGFC’s AGM held on Monday 21st June, Penn Reserve Team Manager, Steve Laing, was awarded a prestigious life membership of the club.

Chairman Tony Hurst commented: “I have the honour, on behalf of the football club and committee, to bestow the highest honour the club can award. We do not award these very often, I cannot remember the last one given but it is some years ago now. This is the award of a Life Membership of the Football Club. This person has been involved at this club from a Youth team player way back, I cannot even attempt to remember the year, progressing through to first team football, then, like so many of our previous players have done, he moved to player higher football, at amongst others Burnham, Flackwell Heath & Beaconsfield , before returning to PTGFC  in the late eighties where he played his part in winning the Wycombe Senior Cup amongst other trophies.

He’s a bloke players can relate to, a no nonsense, but at the same time understandable approach to coaching and giving out instructions , No rants & raves ,well actually I’ll revise that , maybe a few, and sometimes in “expressive language and terms” but hey ,all  players need that approach sometimes . “PC” or any other two or three letter abbreviations have not tainted his world, nor has the other PC (ie: personal computer) as Andreas will testify to as his messages have to be received  either by phone or someone else’s e-mail.(Usually Carol’s).

Since returning to the club all those years ago, he has managed the A team, The Reserves, then the A team again and is now the Reserve team Manager. There have been league honours and cup wins along the way, and he has also carried out the vital task of nurturing and bringing on players within his teams for 1st team football and maybe beyond. In the dressing room he commands respect. Most players under his wing will say that when Steve speaks before games ,they listen (and they learn)  This has been achieved without expensive FA Courses & certificates but by tapping into a lifetime of gathering football knowledge and experiences accumulated from his many years of playing and watching the game at various levels. This club and numerous players have certainly benefited from the passing on of that knowledge over the years.

We don’t give out Gold Watches or flower vases or suchlike, but instead, we give, very rarely Life Memberships for Services to PTGFC.

This is a personal pleasure for me also, as I have played with Steve (pictured right with Hurst) in a number of teams over the years and I can just about recall Steve flying down the wing and delivering that telling cross or scoring himself. One such goal was against Holmer Green out there after about 20seconds. Now that is a priceless memory against the old enemy!!

Finally, as you all know, this is a family club and so it is fitting that Steve, or "Laingy" as he is known, is now the third member of his family to receive this honour, along with Stan, his late father, and Dottie his Mum. So this really is a great honour and privilege for me to complete the family hat-trick and present Steve with his Life Membership.”
