 Where's The Peking Ducks ? - 6th August
Ian Feaver, manager of FTL Futbol Hellenic One West club Easington Sports, was left fuming after British Gas Business Southern League Division One Midlands side Aylesbury United failed to turn up for their match last Saturday - because their players were out shopping reports the Banbury Guardian!
Just over an hour before kick-off, with Easington players and spectators plus match officials already at the Addison Road ground and after-match food prepared, Feaver received a text from Aylesbury saying they were unable to come. He explained: "An hour and a quarter before kick off, Eddie Wright, the Aylesbury reserve manager, texted me to say he had no players and couldn't play the game. I called him and asked him what was going on and he said the players had gone shopping.
Feaver was disappointed that he had been contacted by text, not a phone call, and at such late notice. "For a club of Aylesbury's stature to behave in that manner is disgraceful," he said. "There was a lot of expense involved; players had travelled to the match, food was laid out and we had match officials." Feaver said both Wright and Martin Shaw, Aylesbury's director of football, had apologised

Busy Building - 18th July
Recently appointed Manager, Ian Feaver, has been busy building his Easington Sports squad to mount a challenge for the FTL Futbol Hellenic One West title this season in what promises to be a strong Division.
Feaver started by signing his son, striker Alex Feaver and defender Tom Willment from Southern League Burnham. Alex has a proven goal scoring record in the Premier Division with Ardley Utd and both Alex and Tom were prominent for Burnham towards the end of last season. Also signed is a highly promising young striker and wide player, Anthony Wright. The 19 year old Wright is 6'2', with rapid pace and skill and Feaver is delighted to have signed him from Beaconsfield SYCOB where he broke into the first team and scored 14 goals in 20 appearances playing on the right wing. Another quality signing is 30 year old, 6'7' centre forward Jon Curtis who has previously played for Feaver at Ardley and since then has been playing for Bishops Cleeve in the Southern League. Curtis also previously played as a pro for Arbroath in the Scottish First Division.
Striker Nick Neal, defenders James Lisseter and Gary Lawton, midfield players Mathew Jenkins and Jonathan Feaver and wide player Danny Green have all signed from Launton Sports. Feaver watched these players last season when watching his son Jonathan playing for Launton and is very pleased to bring them into his squad at Easington. Nick Neal has a great touch, skill and vision and has been working hard to get his fitness back to recapture the form that he had with success previously at North Leigh. Lisseter is a strong defender who talks and organises well with great leadership qualities. Gary Lawton is a top defender who won the Hellenic Division ONE player of the seaon in 2006-2007.
Mathew Jenkins is a solid holding midfield player who keeps it simple and Jonathan Feaver is Ian's 18 year old son who is a quality midfielder who previously had 4 years at Wycombe Wanderers FC before a spell at Oxford Utd. Danny Green can play out wide or in attack and is strong and very very quick!
Impressive young right back Chris Kirby has also signed from Ardley Utd. Ian Feaver said, ''I am really pleased with the quality of the squad we now have in place with the new additions. The club finished 6th last season so already have some very talented players, but needed more strength in depth and competition for places in the team to build on that. Many of the players I have inherited from last season have made a big impression on me and together with the new players we now have, I believe we can look forward to an exciting season''.

| Feaver Back In Management - 20th June
Ian Feaver is the new manager at FTL Futbol Hellenic League Division One West club Easington Sports. Feaver (pictured) takes over from Ronnie Johnson at Addison Road, where he is looking forward to the challenge of taking the club forward.
Formerly manager at Beaconsfield SYCOB and Feltham, Feaver moved to Oxfordshire ten years ago and was the first manager of Witney United after they reformed following Witney Town's demise.
Feaver was assistant to Paul Spittle at Ardley United before taking over from him. Then work commitments in Portugal forced Feaver to take a break from the game but he now is ready to get back into it.
"Ronnie Johnson did a fantastic job at Easington and when I saw the manager's job become vacant there, I was keen to go for it," said Feaver. "I'm excited about the challenge of trying to build on what Ronnie did here and I will be talking to him on Tuesday. My immediate priority is to contact all the current players and get them signed on again."
Feaver has brought in Paul Berry to assist with the training at Addison Road and has appointed Terry Callow as his assistant and has persuaded Berry, the former Oxford United striker, to come in to work with the players on an individual basis. "Terry will be my assistant at coaching and on match days but Paul will also attend matches and work with the players on a one-to-one basis at training each week," explained Feaver.
