Introducing: Rayners Lane FC
After two postponements, the Moles are back in action against league newcomers Rayners Lane.
Matchday: Saturday 14th December. KO 3pm
Who are Rayners Lane FC?
Rayners Lane Football Club were founded in 1933. The club initially joined the Spartan League in the 1960s but left in 1970, returning briefly between 1973 and 1975, during which they reached the Second Round of the FA Vase. In 1978, they joined the Hellenic Football League Division One and achieved notable success by winning the league title in the 1981-82 season, leading to promotion to the Premier Division. Despite a strong showing in the FA Cup during the late ’80s and early ’90s, Rayners Lane faced challenges, including relegation in 1994 due to floodlight issues. The club transitioned through various leagues, including the Middlesex League and Chiltonian League, before settling into the Combined Counties Football League.
In recent years, Rayners Lane has experienced a resurgence under new management. The 2012-13 season saw them win the Hellenic Football League Division One East title but miss promotion due to ground grading issues. After several managerial changes, including David Fox’s appointment in June 2017, the club made significant strides. They won their first Middlesex Premier Cup in April 2023 and secured promotion to Step 5 after a playoff victory. The following season marked another milestone as they achieved promotion to Step 4 for the first time in their history by defeating Bedfont Sports on penalties.
This Season
Rayners Lane currently sit in 13th position on 24 points which is 3 point and 2 positions above the Moles.

Allieds Win Over Windsor & Eton
The Allieds won 3-2 away at Windsor & Eton.
A good first half saw them go in 1 nil up goal from Mitch Woozley, and there should of been more.
2nd half we were sloppy with Windsor the better team coming back to 1 all. They then went 2-1 through Jack Saleh credit to Windsor with 5 minutes left they made it 2 all.
This season the squad have never given up and Matt Tweed scored the winner with 1 minute to go. Next game is Monday at home to Thatcham Town FC.
November Allied Player Of The Month
The Allieds November player of month is Rhys Littleford
This is Rhys’s first season with Allieds. He came from our U16 Tornadoes as a centre back. Though the goal scorers normally take the credit and we scored some exceptional goals in November, we felt Rhys has shown real quality in his role who leads by example and great communicator for someone so young in the CB role has led to him become a regular starter for the Allieds.

Matchday: Tuesday 3rd December. KO 7:45pm
Who are Kingstonian FC?
Kingstonian FC was formed in 1919 through the merger of Kingston Town FC and Old Kingstonians FC. However, the club’s origins can be traced back further to 1885 when one of its forerunners, Kingston & Surbiton YMCA FC, played its first match in Bushy Park. The club went through several name changes before splitting in 1908, with Kingston Town playing at Norbiton Sports Ground and Old Kingstonians on the “back pitch” at Richmond Road.The merged Kingstonian club started in the Athenian League, winning it in 1923/24 and 1925/26, before joining the Isthmian League in 1929.
In the 1930s, Kingstonian achieved its greatest accolade by winning the FA Amateur Cup in 1933, defeating Stockton in the final. The club won the Isthmian League again in 1933/34 and 1936/37. After a period of decline, Kingstonian bounced back in 1985 and were promoted to the Nationwide Conference in 1998. The club moved to their new Kingsmeadow Stadium in 1989 and enjoyed success in the late 1990s, winning the FA Trophy in 1999 and 2000. However, relegation followed in 2001, and the club has since had ups and downs, with several managers and ownership changes.
Head to head record
The Moles played Kingstonian at the end of September and despite a close first half, the Ks ran out 7-1 winners.
