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 🤢.

Dockers off to a winning start

Newhaven 2 AFC Varndeanians 1, SCFL Premier Division match #1 In what feels like a blink of any eye, football is back. Proper football, at any rate. Real football. The type that hasn’t yet tried to shaft its fans by becoming ridiculously overpriced and stupendously unaffordable. For the first time in forever (well, six seasons) Newhaven were handed a home tie on the opening day of the campaign, with AFC Varndeanians the visitors to what we hope will once again become fortress Fort Road over the coming nine months. After a decent pre-season which saw six wins from six games and, more importantly, didn’t see practically the entire spine of the team leave (although Rob Malila and Alfie Rogers were both noticeable departees), hopes were high that the Dockers could start the season with a win. An occurrence that has become as rare as a home match in the opening game of the season in recent years. The starting XI on this warm July Saturday afternoon heralded five new faces – Ash Wa...

One to forget for disjoined Dockers

Horsham YMCA 5 Newhaven 1, FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round I suppose if there is a good time to get comprehensively beaten (and, let face it, there isn’t; not really), it’s in a competition that you’ve got no chance of winning. Don’t get me wrong, from a financial (and prestige) point of view, exiting the FA Cup at the first hurdle is far from ideal. In the long run, though, if you’re only going to have one absolute horror-show in a season (and fingers-crossed it will only be one) this is as good a time as any to have it. It’s impossible to quite pinpoint exactly what went wrong for the Dockers away at Horsham YMCA this afternoon. Don’t get me wrong, YM played very well but, my word, Newhaven made it incredibly easy for them at times. Maybe, had Tom Vickers’ fourth-minute header found the back of the net instead of flashing wide, this report may have ended up being far more enjoyable to write than it has ultimately ended up being. Unfortunately, it didn’t, and from that moment ...

More frustration for still disjointed Dockers

Newhaven 2 Bexhill United 2, SCFL Premier Division match #4 With the FA Cup already a distant dream for another season, Newhaven hosted Bexhill United – another team who had fallen at the first hurdle in that competition – in the only league action to take place in the SCFL Premier Division yesterday afternoon. With both sides scrambling for form in the early weeks of the season – The Pirates had picked up only a solitary point from their opening three matches compared to the Docker’s four – both sides will have been viewing the game as an ideal opportunity to kick-start their season. From the off, it was Bexhill who looked far more likely to do so. The visitors could have been ahead inside the opening two minutes. A misplaced defensive header sent a United player through on goal, but Newhaven’s latest stand-in ‘keeper, Josh James – the third different custodian in as many games – did enough to smother the first effort, and the hosts managed scramble the ball away. With 18 minu...
