Allieds U18s Win In Subsidiary Cup

On Friday night the Allieds won 2-1 in the Subsidiary Cup in front of a very good crowd. It was a great experience for the squad as we had 8 x U16 making their first step into Allieds and in total 10 x U16 playing.

The game was comfortable for the team as Eversley sat back in a block for the first half not creating and looking to catch us on break. We deservedly went ahead with an excellent strike from George Creech and 5 minutes later grabbed another taking us in 2 nil at halftime.

2nd half pretty much matched the 1st half missing a couple of clear chances to kill the game off. It all changed on 75 mins when we conceded a penalty which made the last 15 mins tense. Eversley won a 2nd penalty but that was overulled by the lino.

It was a deserved the win and for coaches, a great chance to see the next generation of the Allieds coming through… future looks good.

Introducing: Hayes & Yeading FC

Hayes & Yeading United Fc

Only four games left in the season and they don’t get any easier. The Moles travel to playoff chasing Hayes & Yeading FC.

Matchday: Saturday 12th April. KO 3pm

Who are Hayes & Yeading FC?

Hayes & Yeading United Football Club was established on May 18, 2007, through the merger of Hayes F.C. and Yeading F.C., both of which had been competing in the Conference South. The club’s badge incorporates the Middlesex crest and colors from both predecessor teams, along with the motto “Porro Simul,” meaning “forward together” in Latin. In their inaugural season (2007–08), they finished 13th in the Conference South and reached the Fourth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup. The following season (2008–09) proved more successful as they secured a playoff spot, ultimately winning promotion to the Conference National after defeating Hampton & Richmond in the final.

The club’s early years in the higher league were marked by fluctuating performances. They turned fully professional in the 2010–11 season, reaching the final of the Middlesex Senior Cup and competing in the FA Cup against League 1 side Wycombe Wanderers. However, they faced challenges in subsequent seasons, including relegation back to the Conference South after a poor showing in the 2011–12 season. Despite a brief reprieve from relegation due to Hereford United’s expulsion, Hayes & Yeading continued to struggle, finishing low in league standings and experiencing repeated early exits from cup competitions. The club’s fortunes shifted in the 2017–18 season when they won their first title as a merged entity, topping 100 league goals and securing victory in the Isthmian League South Central Division. The club was relegated back to the South Central Division at the end of the 2023/24 season.

Last Time Out

The Moles faced Hayes & Yeading back in February and Hayes were 1-0 winners with a goal from Keano RobinsonΒ in the 24th minute.

On Saturday, the Moles lost 1-0 to Moneyfields whilst Hayes & Yeading beat league champions 2-1. Hayes & Yeading sit 5th in the league on 66 points whilst the Moles are in 15th place on 43 points.

U16 Tornadoes Make It A Double!!

Whilst it wasn’t to be for our first team today the u16 completed the double with shoot out victory against Penn & Tyler Green in the league cup final at Hill Farm Lane this morning.

A cup final between the top two in the league was always going to be a tight affair and chances in the first half were few and far between.

Penn had the first big opportunity only being denied by a great save from Jack S in the Binfield net. Midway through the half following a fine passing move Will found Freddie on the overlap. He sent in a fine cross but Alfie, who was having a great game, was just unable to convert at the back post.

George F was having an outstanding morning at CB spraying passes to all corners of the pitch with fellow CB Harris winning everything in the air and showing a great first touch to pluck one long ball from the sky.

On numerous occasions Binfield found space in possession with the fullbacks but a lack of movement further up the pitch prevented any significant ball progressions.

A very even first half ended 0-0.

Already missing CB’s Rhys and Evan the Tornadoes were dealt another blow at half time as Harris was unable to continue due to injury after a brilliant first half display.

With the temperature starting to rise the remaining XI dug in and took the lead midway through the second period. An excellent lay off from Lucas found Jack W who burst into the box and slotted home a composed finish for his first goal of the season and first in Binfield colours.

Neither team crated any clear cut chances with both sides continuing to press quickly and deny each other space to play.

Some great skill from Riley on the left almost set Lucas free but yet again some solid defending from Penn prevented the Binfield talisman from getting a shot on target.

With a minute left to play Penn broken down the Binfield left and a great cross was converted to level the scores. A couple of tense minutes followed before the whistle went and it was straight to penalties.

After a game of few shots it was now the chance of the keepers to shine and Jack S certainly did. Penn took first and the Binfield no 1 produced a magnificent save low to his left. Makeshift CB partners Mitch and George both slotted before Jack then saved the 3rd Penn pen to put the young Moles 3-1 up in the shoot out. Having previously been so reliable from the spot Will had his pen saved and Penn made it 3-2. Skipper George M took the 4th and scored so it was left to Tommy to win it. A casual stroll to the spot had the crowd on tenderhooks but there was nothing casual about the finish as he found the net to give the Tornadoes the Trophy.

A magnificent effort from the team to add the League Cup to the League title that was wrapped up week. Well played lads!

Match Report: Moneyfields – Home

On a sunny afternoon at the Iconic Stadium, the Moles welcomed Moneyfields – hoping to do better than the 5-0 defeat down on the South Coast in January.

The game was one of few chances. In fact, nothing really to write about. Moneyfields scored the only goal from a penalty late into second half stoppage time. The Moles thought they should have had a penalty for handball just before the final whistle but it wasn’t to be.

We now move on to next Saturday when we travel to playoff chasing Hayes & Yeading.

March Moment of the Month

Andy Bullet and Keith Pennicott-Bowen have been awarded Moment of the Month.

Manager Ross Weatherstone said;

“These 2 gentleman, have been medicine to me ever since I was diagnosed in May last year! They’ve lifted me, they’ve made me smile inside & out, with constant conversations, performances & results on the pitch!

This award will never be enough, to thank them for the support they’ve shown me this season. They say loyalty is a dying trait in football! It warms me to say, that isn’t the case in these 2 fine men! 2 of the finest human beings you’ll ever like to meet!

Being the Binfield Way is built on the characteristics of these 2 guys, to say the club has been in safe hands in my absence is an understatement! They’ve been my voice, arms, legs, my everything to the players, something I’ll be forever grateful for. We created the great escape together & they continue to support me with my great escape also. A small token but thank you both.”

Matchday: Saturday 5th April 2025. KO: 3pm

Who are Moneyfields FC?


The club began as Portsmouth Civil Service in the Portsmouth Saturday League in 1987, achieving significant success early on. In 1990–91, they won the Portsmouth Senior Cup and the Saturday League Premier Division, earning promotion to Division Three of the Hampshire League. The club continued its impressive run by winning the Portsmouth Senior Cup, Hampshire Intermediate Cup, and Division Three title the following season, securing promotion to Division Two. In 1992–93, they won Division Two, earning a third successive promotion to Division One of the Hampshire League, and in 1994, the club was renamed Moneyfields.

Their persistence paid off in the 2023–24 season when they won the Premier Division title, securing promotion to the Isthmian League’s South Central Division.
