| 29.8.2010 | Keys Park Round-Up | ||
|
The frenetic activity in and around Keys Park has continued this week, with two players now confirmed as having left the club. Midfielder Josh Craddock has joined Stourbridge after finding his route back into the first team blocked by a number of impressive summer signings. He was swiftly joined through the exit door by another midfielder, this time in the form of Dave Bridgwater. The summer signing from Redditch United has been released due to rumoured budget cuts. We wish both players well. Yesterday's 5-0 win over Nuneaton Griff saw Newcastle Town qualify for the 1st qualifying round of this season's F.A. Cup, where they will make the short journey down the M6 to face Hednesford at Keys Park on Saturday September 11th, kick off 3pm | ||

| 25.8.2010 | Patterson signs for Pitmen | ||
|
Hednesford have clinched the signing of forward Kyle Patterson this afternoon after receiving International clearance for the player, the club have confirmed. The 24-year old, who can play in a variety of positions, has had a tremendously varied career to date, having started out at West Bromwich Albion as a junior. After his release from the Hawthorns, he moved to the United States to link up with St. Louis Lions - his form in four years saw him attract the attention of LA Galaxy, who signed him at the start of last term. He played three times for the Galaxy in 2009, before playing out last term in Sweden at GAIS Gothenburg. He played for the Pitmen in pre-season against Tamworth whilst on trial, and will link up with the side ahead of the trip to Didcot on Saturday. Welcome Kyle! | ||

The Pitmen make a poor start to the season, as they fail to convince in a home defeat to Chippenham Town this afternoon. The Pitmen offered little in the way of an attacking threat throughout the game, with goals from Lewis Powell and Shaun Benison giving the Bluebirds victory in the second half. Hednesford manager Bernard McNally will have plenty to mull over ahead of Tuesday's trip to Banbury United as he looks to improve on a dour performance. See Match Report for more | ||

Hednesford record their first victory of the pre-season campaign with victory over Burton-based Stapenhill this afternoon.

The away side had to wait until the second half to take the lead, with Dorryl Proffitt striking his first goal of the new season. Substitute Jamey Osbourne capped a fine cameo with a well taken goal to seal victory for the Pitmen.

|
Striker Craig Marshall has decided to leave Hednesford and rejoin former club Sutton Coldfield Town, the club have confirmed today. The former Keys Park trainee had only returned to the club in May after a prolific spell in front of goal that saw him plunder twenty five goals last season for Sutton. Manager Bernard McNally will no doubt be back in the market for another striker with the season only a few weeks away, as he searches for a foil for ace marksman Mark Bellingham. At the same time, the club have received a boost with news that centre back Liam Francis has agreed to rejoin the Pitmen for the forthcoming season. Francis impressed at the end of last season, helping the Pitmen to the play offs with a number of strong performances alongside Ben Bailey and Cheyenne Dunkley. He has recently spent a short spell on trial at Hinckley United before returning to Keys Park | ||

|
Hednesford supporters today received a huge boost ahead of Saturday's first pre-season game against Stafford Rangers with news that defender Cheyenne Dunkley, on loan from Crewe during the latter part of the 2009-2010 campaign, has re-signed for the club on a permanent basis, penning a one-year deal with the club. Dunkley was a massive success for the club during their late surge into the play offs last term, but failed to earn a contract at Crewe at the end of the season and was surprisingly released. He has turned out for AFC Telford United on trial in the Bucks' opening pre-season friendly a week ago against TNS, but manager Bernard McNally appears to have convinced the teenager that a return to Keys Park is a better option. Welcome back Cheyenne! | ||
