Women’s teammates #7: Annie Hills

After a brief hiatus, the ever-popular Teammates feature returns to the #COYD blog for 2023, new and improved for the New Year.

Newhaven Ladies’ goalkeeper, Annie Hills, becomes the latest Docker to dish the dirt on her teammates.

Who would be in your ultimate Newhaven Ladies 5-a-side team, using current squad or coaches?

Marks [Charlotte Markham], Faye [Hannaford], Summer [Dutton], Ellie [Coade], Chloe [Evans].

Which teammate is most likely to become a manager or coach after they finish playing?

Lucy [Collinson].

Someone offers you £100 for one of your teammates to hit the crossbar, who are you choosing?

Myself 😂

Which teammate is likely to incur the most fines this season? What fine will be their undoing?

Faye for her big mouth 😂

Who would you not want on the opposing team at training and why ?

Lauren [Smith]. She is too fast and her kicks are too powerful

As part of a training session there's a keepy-uppy competition. Who comes out on top and who fails tragically?

Mel [Orme] smashes it and Faye fails.

Finally, this one’s not actually about teammates, but what is your favourite biscuit and which one would be banned from the biscuit tin?

Dark chocolate digestive 👌🏼 ginger nut 🤢.

508 and out for legendary duo

Newhaven 2 Petersfield Town 1, SCFL Premier Division match #22 Nothing lasts for ever. All good things must come to an end.... Use whatever cliché you want, they are all, unfortunately, true. As I’m sure every man and his dog already knows, after more than ten years and 508 games, Saturday's home match against Petersfield Town marked the final time Andy Cook and Sean Breach will be in charge of the Dockers men’s team (although Cooky continues in his role as the women’s team manager). The term legend is bandied about far too often these days. But there can be little doubt that both Breachy and Cooky are, and will forever be, club legends. Their role in transforming Newhaven from a team in the doldrums to one of the most consistent and best-supported teams in the county league cannot be ignored. And as could be witnessed by the many messages that came pouring in via our Twitter feeds in the wake of their resignation announcement (from those outside the club as well as within)...

Nine in nine has us dreaming

Newhaven 3 Roffey 1, SCFL Premier Division match #36 Football. It’s a funny old game! Had you told anyone following our Boxing Day defeat against local rivals Peacehaven that there would be anything riding on the return fixture, then you would almost certainly have found yourself certified. Yet, here we are, just under four months on, with a match as potentially important as any Haven Derby in recent history. The winners will go into the last day of the season with at least a mathematical chance of still reaching the play-offs. For the losers, though, any such dreams can probably be extinguished. That the Dockers find themselves in such a position is thanks solely to a frankly astonishing run of nine-straight victories. A run that continued on Saturday with victory over another play-off chasing side, Roffey. At one point, Roffey had looked odds-on for a play-off spot. However, a downturn in form which had brought just one win in seven games prior to Saturday has seen their ...

Three in three for slowly improving Dockers

Saltdean United 1 Newhaven 2, SCFL Premier Division match #24 Newhaven made the short trip to Saltdean last night, aiming to make it three league wins from as many games in 2025. On paper, the Dockers should have been more than confident of claiming three more points against a Saltdean side who are struggling near the foot of the table. However, as regular watchers of Newhaven this season will be only too aware, the only guarantee with the Dockers at the moment is that there are no guarantees. See Little Common at home for proof of that. And with former Newhaven coaching stalwart Kieran Ridley at the Saltdean helm, you can always be sure that the Tigers will be extra fired-up for this encounter. On a bitterly cold evening, and with the match being played on a surface that you couldn’t exactly describe as a carpet (understatement alert), few of the spectators present would have been expecting to watch a footballing classic. And they didn’t. This most certainly was not ...
