Welcome to Finchampstead F.C. Extra - from the Press Reporter.
Our first team competes in the Thames Valley League Division 1. The Reserves play in Division 2.
The Sunday "A" team is now in Division 4 of the Bracknell Town & District Sunday League. The teams compete in several Cup Competitions each season. Since the 1st team disbanded last season, there can be no more 1st team full match Press reports. TVFL games are covered in League round ups. I shall continue with results and basic details for both Saturday and Sunday sides on this website too.
However, I shall be Roving Reporting in the Hellenic League next season. 2019/2020.
There is also a healthy Junior Section with more than one team at some age-groups that has built up on successes from the previous seasons.All the relevant information is on the clubs main website. www.finchampsteadfc.com
This website is Press Extra. From the Press reporter's viewpoint, it is created for visitors to be able to read up recent press reports and view photographs.
Click on Library for over 200 press reports over at least 8 seasons. One or two could not be uploaded but reports from the most recent games will appear on the menu and will return to the Library after a month.
I have been Press reporter under 4 managers: Steve McLurg, Neil White and Steve Cox then Jon Laugharne who took over management in recent seasons. When Richard Whitchurch-Bennett stood down because of other commitments, he handed over the position of Press Reporter to me.
My Local Sports quiz is 5 years old now. It appears in the Bracknell News, including the other districts around East Berkshire catchment area of the Reading Chronicle group. Even the rival papers' journalists and editors like to spend tea-breaks trying to get all 5 answers. The Quiz is about local sport only. It can include Reading F.C. and London Irish R.F.C. & Ascot & Newbury race courses. Other professional sports persons who are residents in the area may well be included from time to time plus the odd anagram from World rankings occasionally.
