| Kingstonian v West Ham XI |
| This Friday sees a team from Premier League West Ham travel across London for Kingstonian's final home pre-season friendly. Making a welcome return to Kingsmeadow will be Hammers coach Jerome John, who was part of the K's championship winning team of 1997/98. Team news for Kingstonian sees former Premier League winner Ian Pearce lined up to make his second appearance, against his former club for whom he played 151 matches between 1997-2004, whilst top scorer Bobby Traynor, midfielder Simon Huckle and defender Wayne Finnie are all away. The West Ham XI squad is expected over the next couple of days, though a few names have already been confirmed. Scottish international Nigel Quashie is expected to captain the side, former England U21 international Calum Davenport - who played for West Ham and Sunderland last season - will also be playing. Hotly tipped young talent Frank Nouble - a new signing from Chelsea - and second generation players Andrea Zola and Oliver Lee - sons of Gianfranco and Rob respectively - will also be in action, as will Georg Grasser and Anthony Edgar who have returned from the recent training camp in Austria. Pre-match arrangements: The bar will be open in advance of the game as usual and early arrival is recommended to ensure parking and timely admission. Note for West Ham supporters that the ground capacity is more than sufficient, whilst all tickets will be available from the turnstiles on the night (priced £9 adults, £6 concessions, £3 juniors). |

| Bobby Moore Fund - Project Brazil collection |
| There will be a bucket collection at Friday's West Ham game by Mark Harvey, who is a volunteer embarking upon Project Brazil and raising money for The Bobby Moore Fund. The project will see 35 volunteers help the educational needs of a remote Brazilian village in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park. As well as leaving a physical legacy, each member needs to raise £4,000 in sponsorship and donations for The Bobby Moore Fund, leading research towards a cure for bowel cancer from which sadly Bobby died aged just 51 in 1993. Donations can also be made via Mark's JustGiving page where you can follow his progress. Mark also currently has two special items on sale on Ebay. One is a Champions League matchball signed by UEFA President Michel Platini, and the second item is a pennant from FC Barcelona signed by seven of their star players including Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi. The item numbers for these are 120450977224 and 120450978082. Further details on either Project Brazil or The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK can be found via their website. |

| Luke Naughton and Clement James |
| Goalkeeper Luke Naughton has joined Godalming Town whilst midfielder Clement James has left the club by mutual consent. Naughton made 17 appearances over two seasons with the club, whilst James turned out 7 times for the club. Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Luke's gone out to Godalming as after a couple of seasons of excellent service what he really needs now is a run of 15-20 games together. We'll be keeping tabs on him there. Clement was very patient at the end of last season and is looking for a new challenge now. They're excellent lads and I wish them both the best of luck." |

| Metropolitan Police 1-1 Kingstonian |
| An injury-ravaged Kingstonian side made the short trip to Imber Court to face last season's playoff finalists Met Police. With 9 players injured or unavailable, two new trialists on show in the second half were former Jamaican international and Premier League player Jamie Lawrence and former K's striker Reggie Savage. The home team opened the scoring through a close range header in the 41st minute, though the scores were levelled from the penalty spot by Tom Dilloway in the closing minutes after Savage had been upended. Lineup: 1) Josh Willis 2) Rob Sheridan 3) Ryan Lake 4) Luke Pigden (14 Jamie Lawrence) 5) Tom Dilloway 6) Francis Duku 7) NJ Lampton 8) Tommy Williams (15 Christian Jolley) 9) Carl Wilson-Denis 10) Lewis Cook 11) Scott Simpson (12 Reggie Savage) Manager Alan Dowson commented after the game, "We've come to a good side and battled hard in a good workout. We were missing a lot of players but that gave us a chance to play some others - unfortunately in the case of Jamie (Lawrence) it looks like he's come off with a cracked rib. "It's sometimes easy for people to get frustrated but pre-season is all about preparation and not necessarily about results. As it is, I'm pleased with how it's going on both counts and looking forward to the rest of our schedule." |

| Update from Alan Dowson |
| Manager Alan Dowson comments, "I was really pleased with how everything went on Saturday, especially having Geoff Chapple, who did so much for this club and probably the greatest non-league manager ever, here. "I told the (current) players to have a look at the legends match whilst they were warming up. Those players might have retired from the game now but they've achieved so much, and it still shows. It was a pleasure to watch. "Speaking of spectacles, it was nice to see Iain Butler show his face for the photos after he won his big prize! "We've done well against two of the better teams in Conference South so I'm pleased with that, but there's still a few weeks of pre-season left and still a lot to do. I'll be sending the trialists and a few of the lads to the Chessington game tomorrow, but will be resting those who've had the most football in the last week or so." |

| Kingstonian 1-2 Hampton & Richmond |
| A competitive pre-season game saw Conference South playoff finalists Hampton & Richmond Borough win by two goals to one at Kingsmeadow. The visitors opened the scoring in the 9th minute, courtesy of a well-taken Francis Quarm free kick, before Bobby Traynor levelled the scores with a rifled strike in the 75th minute. A scrambled effort from substitute Leon Yarnie restored Hampton's lead five minutes laters, and that was how it finished after Carl Wilson-Denis saw a late strike spectacularly saved. Manager Alan Dowson comments, "I thought it was an excellent game where both sides really pushed eachother, and wasn't expecting anything less from one of Alan Devonshire's teams. It's still quite early in the pre-season programme but that's just what we need to push on, and it'll be more of the same against Woking on Saturday. "We had a lot of good performances out there, but I've got to single out Carl Wilson-Denis in particular, who showed both touch and strength up against a strong experienced back line." Lineup: 1) Luke Garrard (13 Josh Willis) 2) Jamie Beer (14 Jon Coke) 3) Ryan Lake 4) Simon Huckle (15 NJ Lampton) 5) Francis Duku 6) Max Hustwick (19 Wayne Finnie) 7) Lewis Cook (17 Scott Simpson) 8) Tommy Williams (18 Liam Collins) 9) Bobby Traynor 10) Carl Wilson-Denis 11) Christian Jolley (12 Luke Pigden) |

| Update from Alan Dowson |
| Manager Alan Dowson comments, "We've been training the team hard over the past weeks or so but I've been very impressed with the levels of fitness reporting back for pre-season. "The three lads I've signed fitted in well, and as with any signings, I'm convinced that they'll make us better. There's still a couple we're looking at, including young midfielder Luke Pigden. Terry Brown told me he would have kept him if AFC Wimbledon had stayed in Conference South, but as things are he's become a free agent so we'll be having a closer look over a couple of games with a view to signing him. "Lastly, I've read that we're about to sign Marc Charles-Smith but it's news to me and he's not a player on our list of potential targets." |

Mark has been studying towards this for over a year, and photos can be found from his first trip to Lilleshall last year here.

I keep saying how highly I value my coaching team and it's nice to have a qualification like this to show it." Mark himself meanwhile added thanks to everyone who has supported him throughout this period, in particular his wife who he called his "rock".  Photo: Mark Hams |
