It's a big Month for us so we want to hit the ground running on Saturday" .

The Rocks will be without regular keeper Tom Sheppard due to a one match suspension, otherwise it's a full squad with the return of Justin Bishop from injury and Andy Criddle who's been on holiday.

fotball focus magazine tytherington rocks hellenic leagueNational Magazine Feature For Rocks - 29 January

Uhlsport Hellenic Football League Division 1 West League leaders Tytherington Rocks have featured the latest issue of Football Focus Magazine.

"It is a National magazine featuring Premier League Teams and it's a great honour to be featured in such a recognised magazine" says Secretary Graham Shipp. The Rocks feature can be found on this link.

The Rocks were without a fixture yesterday, though one result that went in their favour was Old Woodstock Town drawing with Wootton Bassett Town 0-0. This now means to win the Division One West League 'The Rocks' will require 11 points with 7 matches remaining making 76 points, this is dependant on Old Woodstock Town winning their remaining 10 matches, making 75 points.

Next weekend 'The Rocks' will again not be in League action, as they will be playing in The Supplementary Cup at home against Penn & Tylers Green KO 2:30pm

 

White With Rocks - 26 January

Tytherington Rocks are pleased to announce the arrival of Joe White from Toolstation Western League side Odd Down FC.

hellenic league joe white tytherington rocks football clubJoe signed for 'The Rocks' back in October after being released from Yate Town, however at that time Joe decided to play for Odd Down.

He started his career at Bristol Rovers and has since had spells at Yate Town, Bath City and Almondsbury Town.

"Joe has been on our radar for a little while now, he has a great attitude and will add quality and professionalism to our squad. We are always looking to improve the squad when good players become available, and Joe certainly fits that criteria."said Rocks manager Gary Powell.

The Rocks' are without a fixture this weekend which is hoped will not upset their momentum of being unbeaten for the last eighteen matches in the League, winning sixteen of them.

 

Lights On The Horizon - 21 January

Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One West league leaders Tytherington Rocks have just been granted planning permission for their floodlights following their application to South Gloucestershire Council.

Secretary Graham Shipp stated 'This is a major milestone for 'The Rocks' and a big thank you must go to Barrie Whittaker who has been coordinating the application, which was originally submitted on 29th October 2010 and then resubmitted due to various issues on 8th June 2011. It's been a journey of frustration for everyone at the Club, but finally we are there, now we must kick on with the finances and try and have them in place for the start of next season'.

 

Togetherness Is Key For Success - 20 January

Tytherington Rocks Assistant Manager Jason Wood is pleased with the teams togetherness shown throughout this season so far.

He comments."The lads have become great mates off the field which has helped us forge a strong unit. Contrary to the speculation that we have one of the biggest budgets in the league, we know as a Club of the expense involved in running a Club at this level. And nothing has changed on that front this season from previous seasons. The players togetherness has got us in the position we are in currently and to remain there we will still have to be at our best from now on in".   
 
Leading Scorer Justin Bishop is close to a return from his hamstring injury suffered in the game against Lydney Town, but serves a one match ban tomorrow. With no first team football next weekend, this may be an opportunity for Justin to get some minutes with the Reserves ready for a return to first team action against Penn and Tylers Green in the Supplementary Cup. Justin has been a key player all season he brings pace and goals to the team.
 
Squad: Sheppard, Nelson, Baker, Emery, Jones, Perry, Mooney, Missiato, Hughes, Wood, Smyth, Farrier, Colbourne, Chapman.

 

Rocks Flying - 13 January

High flying Tytherington Rocks head into tomorrow's home game against Clanfield looking to maintain the remarkable scoring form which has helped them open up a 17-point lead at the top of Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One West.

Unbeaten in their last 15 league outings, the Rocks have banged in an amazing 26 goals in their last four games, most recently a 6-3 win at Cricklade in which they fought back from going 3-0 down inside the opening half-hour.

"We got two goals back before the interval and felt then that we would go on to win," said assistant boss Jason Wood. Rocks have a doubt over Justin Bishop, who is rated 50-50 with a hamstring problem.

When the two sided met in the earlier league encounter this season 'The Rocks' managed to rescue a point in the dying minutes of the game. "We know we will have to be at our best to get three points" added Wood."Last week saw us defeat a good Cricklade side and we had to come from 3-0 behind which showed we have great character within the side but hopefully we won't be in that situation again".

Young midfielder Joe Walters has agreed to join County League side Bristol Academy. This move will allow Joe to get more experience playing at a decent level, as Joe has been unlucky not to have broken into the first team squad this season due to the performances of players that play in his position. Along with Joe, Myles Farrier has also been unlucky and has found his first team chances limited since joining the club mid-way through this season. Myles has been a credit to himself his attitude has been first class and he has continued to train hard and be professional every week.

 

Sites Set On Title - 9 January 2012

Tytherington Rocks extended their lead at the top of the Uhlsport Hellenic Football League Division One West following their away win at Cricklade Town at the weekend.

'The Rocks' were losing 3-0 after 36 minutes, but showed great character to come back and win 6-3 with goals from Stuart Nelson, Dale Emery, Tony Perry (2) and Alex Chapman (2)

The West Country side now have their sights on the Division One West League title. Although they only have nine games remaining for the season, they are 17 points clear of second placed Purton, who have a game ten games remaining. 'The Rocks' are currently unbeaten for the last sixteen League matches, winning fourteen of them.

Next Saturday Tytherington are at home against Clanfield kick off 2:15pm, though no foregone conclusion can be taken with this forthcoming fixture. In October, at Clanfield, "The Robins" were heading for a win until Tytherington managed to get a late equaliser when Tim Baker was on the score sheet with a 30 yard strike to take a point in a 1-1 draw. After that game, goal scorer Baker commented on his 86th minute strike. "It is hard to get anything at Clanfield but, in the second half we tried to put pressure on them, and at the end we were pleased to get a point out of a difficult game".

 

13 Point Extension - 31 December

Uhlsport Hellenic League Division One West leaders, Tytherington Rocks, extended their lead to 13 points following a 3-0 away win at New College Swindon this afternoon.

Goals from Alex Chapman, Tony Perry and Andy Criddle secured the 3 points, whilst closest rivals Old Woodstock Town dropped points at home against Purton.

The Rocks are looking forward to their next match on Monday 2nd January at home to Lydney Town kick off 2:15pm, which is expected to be an interesting encounter and hopefully will encourage spectators to come along and enjoy our hospitality at the Hardwicke playing fields.

Happy New Year from 'The Rocks'

 

New Years Eve Test - 30 December

Tytherington Rocks head up the M4 on Saturday for an early start against New College Swindon, 12.00pm K.O.

The Rocks will be looking to build on recent impressive performances but will be expecting a stern test. "We will be preparing in the correct manner as we know it will be a tough game up there. With experienced guys within there set up including Paul Bodin we know they will be well organised. I played under Paul at Bath City and I know how professional he is." said Rocks boss Gary Powell.

Toby Colbourne is back in the squad after a three match ban, Justin Pritchard and Tim Baker miss out though through injury and suspension. Dale Emery and Tom Shephard also miss out due to work commitments.

 

Each Game As It Comes - 22 December

With the Christmas period in full swing, the next couple of weeks are really important to Tytherington's season and will continue to take each game as it comes.

Bank Holiday Tuesday they weclome Trowbridge Town to the Hardwicke Playing Fields. Although Trowbridge have struggled this season Rocks will be showing the same respect they have shown to all of opponents faced this season.

Toby Colbourne misses the Trowbridge match which will complete a three match ban. Toby offers the side attributes that not many teams in Division One West have, he has the aerial ability and strength to be a real handful for the opposition. Rocks spokesman Graham Shipp comented. "Toby has got better and better as the season has gone on and with his return we see us back to full strength for the away match at New College Swindon on 31st December. That game will kick off at 12pm"

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone from the Rocks

Squad: Sheppard, Nelson, Baker, Missiato, Criddle, Perry, Wood, Hughes, Bishop, Chapman, Smyth, Jones, Emery, Mooney, Pritchard, Farrier


Tough Away Game - 16 December

Uhlsport Hellenic Football League Division One West table toppers Tytherington Rocks travel to Cirencester Town Development, which they anticipate will be a tough away fixture.

Manager Gary Powell and Assistant Jason Wood have been pleased with the level of performance in recent weeks. Last weekend was a very pleasing victory as we came from behind against our nearest rivals Old Woodstock Town to win 2-1. We know the result will be meaningless if we don't back the win up this weekend.

We welcome Tony Perry back into the squad after he served his one match ban. Since his arrival Tony has been an influential player for us and having him back is a big bonus. With Tony's return this leaves the Management some big decisions regarding the starting line up, as Nick Jones came back into the fold last week and performed very well.

Last weekend also saw the Clubs new kitchen in operation for the second time since it's opening against Carterton. This has been project managed by Chairman Ted Travell and this facility will now bring added income and offer us the facility to produce hot food for the players and officials after the games.

The Club are also expecting the decision at the beginning of January regarding their planning application for floodlights, following their application to South Gloucestershire Council.

 

Major Game - 9 December

Leaders Tytherington Rocks take on second-placed Old Woodstock Town tomorrow in a game that could play a major part in determining the outcome of the race for the Uhlsport Hellenic Football League Division One West title.

Rocks, who have won each of their last four games 1-0, are nine points clear of the visitors, who have three games in hand. Assistant boss Jason Wood believes another victory could give Rocks a psychological advantage in their bid for promotion. "It's going to be a big task, but it would be nice to have a 12-point gap, and a win might give us a mental edge," he said. "They have the games in hand, but it's better to have points on the board."

Rocks will be without two important players. Tony Perry serves a one-game ban, while big striker Toby Colbourne starts a three-game suspension. Mark Saunders comes into the squad from the Reserves after impressive performances, Nick Jones returns after holiday and Alex Chapman is pushing for a start after impressing in the 1-0 win away at Hook Norton last Saturday.

 

Rocking 'Rocks' - 4 December

Tytherington Rocks 1-0 win away at Hook Norton was their fourth 1-0 win in a row, including a win in the Supplementary Cup.

'The Rocks' are now 9 points clear of Old Woodstock Town, who have played 3 matches less than 'The Rocks'. Saturday coming 'The Rocks' host Old Woodstock Town KO 2:00 pm in a 'six pointer', hopefully this will be an entertaining match and 'The Rocks' would settle for another 1-0 win!

'The Rocks' Saturday evening race night was a great success and enjoyed by everyone who attended, The Club would like to thank the ladies for taking the bets and all the hard work behind the scenes that was undertaken by Merv Lacey and Ted Travell. There were eight races individually sponsored and each horse in every race was also sponsored, a big thank you to all the sponsors. Finally thanks to Julie and Mike Powell who organised the printing of the programmes and arranging the event.

 

Xmas Horizons - 2 December

Tytherington Rocks are looking forward to the upcoming Christmas period with some competitive games throughout the month.

The Rocks start with a trip to Hook Norton this Saturday, entertain Old Woodstock Town on the 10th December and are away to Cirencester Town Development the following week. Over the Christmas period The Rocks are at home to Trowbridge Town and away to New College Swindon on New Years Eve KO 12:00

"Its an important month for us, we have some really good fixtures and all the boys are raring to go. Everyone wants to be involved and there's lots of competition for places in the starting eleven" said Rocks boss Gary Powell.

The Rocks return to full strength for the game this Saturday with key members of the squad returning after various commitments last weekend following their 1-0 win over Carterton in the Supplementary Cup Round 1.

Squad: Sheppard, Nelson, Baker, Missiato, Criddle, Perry, Wood, Hughes, Bishop, Colbourne, Smyth, Farrier, Chapman, Mooney, Pritchard, Emery

Tytherington Rocks head into this weekend's Supplementary Cup fixture against Carterton with several first team regulars missing. Absentees include Assistant Manager Jason Wood, Captain Marc Hughes, along with Adamo Missiato, Jack Smyth, Tony Perry and Alex Chapman.

Rocks Manager Gary Powell will use the fixture to bring promising youngsters Joe Walters and Jack Neale back into the fold. It will be a great opportunity for everyone within the 1st team squad to stake their claim for a regular spot in the starting eleven. "We have a number of important games ahead of us in December and it's really important that we have competition for places week in week out to ensure we are at our strongest", said Rocks boss Powell.

Tom Blyth has left The Rocks due to not being available every Saturday, Tom's unavailability was disappointing as he's a very capable player and has played for the Club over the last two seasons. Tom has transferred to local neighbours Winterbourne United. The Club would like to thank Tom for his previous commitment and wish him well for the future.

Looking For Number 9 - 18 November

Following last Saturdays late winner from Justin Bishop at home against Easington Sports, The Rocks have now gone unbeaten for the last eight matches in the League. Which has helped them maintain the top position in Uhlsport Hellenic Football League Division One West.

Both Myles Farrier and Alex Chapman are pushing to start after impressing performances as substitutes last Saturday.

Kitchen Development Progresses - 9 November

The work on the new Kitchen including an external serving hatch is almost complete.

Work on the new clubhouse kitchen is continuing at a good speed, with all the external work complete and the electrical first fix completed. The next stage is to fit the kitchen, then followed by the electrical work being finished off.

Chairman Ted Travell said "I am hopeful and very optimistic that it can be completed ready for our next home game, it is a great addition to the football club and would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the project." (The Rocks next home game is against Easington Sports on 12th November 2.15pm K.O.)

The clubhouse has come on a long way since 1978. The new kitchen will provide players, officials and spectators with hot food through the serving hatch. It will also create more space within the club house, with the prospective to extend more in years to come.

Also on 26th October The Club handed in, to the South Gloucestershire planniing department, the final piece of data concerning the light spill from the proposed floodlights. Edward Travell stated: "We anticipate the the application will now be discussed by the planning commitee and that a decision will be relayed the The Club in the near future. It has been a very long and thorough process, it is the Club's hope that the Planners will look favourably on this key development proposal for Tytherington Rocks.
We will then have to direct our attention to serious fund raising ..... but that's another story!"

'The Rocks' won the local derby 5 - 3, with goals from Jason Wood, Stuart Nelson (2), Jack Smyth and Tim Baker. 'The Rocks' played some exhibition football at times, dominating the match for long periods, however they were disappointed to allow two late goals from Winterbourne.

We go into Saturday's game high in confidence and Gary and I are pleased with the way we have started the season.
