JERMAINE WEBSTER
CLICK HERE 31/8/2009 and before 1/9/2010 jwebste1@hotmail.co.uk 07824 996166 I've been involved in football from an early age playing most of my career in Reading. I played for Tilehurst Boys as a child then progressed into the men’s team whilst still at school where I played for a couple of seasons before moving to Reading Town FC and Abbey Rangers FC. I then went on to university to study for my HND in Sports, Coaching and Exercise Science at the University of Bath and then my degree in Sports Studies and PGCE in PE teaching at the University of Chichester. In this time I achieved my FA Level 2 coaching badge along with various CPD workshops. I also have a range of other coaching qualifications in numerous sports and am a qualified personal trainer. I have always enjoyed coaching and have been involved with a number of youth teams as well as coaching a women’s team at the City of Bath College I’ve always had an interest in football, but didn’t really start to play until I went to University and was inspired by sharing a training ground with the Newcastle United team (in the era of David Ginola, Les Ferdinand and Peter Beardsley, when Kevin Keegan was their manager). Post-University saw a period of playing 11-a-side, and then 5-a-side (including a spell as manager) until children arrived and put a stop to my playing days. I was content supporting my son (and husband) as they embarked on their respective playing/ management career, until my daughter and a group of friends became interested in football and asked if I would be their manager.

My eldest son plays for Cholsey Bluebirds and when the opportunity came for me to manage my younger son and the Under 7’s team, I jumped at it and completed my FA Level 1 coaching course. It is a fantastic club with wonderful volunteers and I am excited to be a part of it. I am very much looking forward to the season ahead and playing a part in the development of a great group of young Bluebirds ! |

SIMON POWIS CLICK HERE 31/8/2011 and before 1/9/2012 lauraspiller@btinternet.com 07522 756536 I first started playing football at primary school and then moved onto playing for my first team which was Abingdon Girls. I spent a few season here before being selected to play for Southampton Centre Of Excellence where I spent my U14/16 years. Whilst I was there I was lucky enough to be picked to trail for England U17s which was an amazing experience. I had a short spell a Fulham FC before moving to Reading FC where I finished my U16s and moved into the ladies side. I discovered the Bluebirds when my son expressed an interest to play football. I took him along to the rising stars where he really enjoyed himself and his love of the game grew. I am a qualified FA Level 1 coach and look forward to my second season in charge and moving up into the U8s after a successful first season as U7s. I hope to continue to make it fun and enjoyable for the team. |

NEIL CARTER CLICK HERE 31/8/2009 and before 1/9/2010 paul19757@gmail.com 07769 940495 I have been playing football since my brother bought me my first pair of boots aged 4. Since then I have had a life-long love of football and sport. I have played for a number of teams as a child, then in the Surrey and Kingston leagues and various works teams over the years. A few injuries have now caught up with me and I now just play for fun. I have also coached at Wallingford Rugby club since 2014. Volunteering in the local area is important to me. Developing the children and giving them the values to enjoy sport and enjoy a happy environment, are key to my coaching philosophy. We’re moving up to 7 a-side now and looking forward to the season ahead. |

CLICK HERE 31/8/2008 and before 1/9/2009 mark.reeves@live.co.uk 01491 652007 07979687573 8 West End Cholsey Wallingford Oxon OX10 9LW I’ve loved football since I was little; kicking a ball almost as soon as I could walk. I started my playing career with Crowmarsh Boys, including playing for the Oxfordshire County team, including training at England home of football at the time, Bisham Abbey. Trials then followed with Wycombe and Oxford, which unfortunately couldn’t be pursued due to school commitments. It was with Crowmarsh Men’s team that I finished my playing days, but since moving to the village I have switched the orange jersey for a (much better) blue one! My involvement with Bluebirds started when I took my son along to the Rising Stars, and when he moved into the U7s, I took on the role of managing the team (assisted by Duncan Coleman). Four season down, and we are now moving to 9-a-side on a larger pitch, larger goals and offsides, can’t wait ! |

I'm currently working towards my FA Coaching Badges. I grew up in the village and although I've been all over the Country as an adult, there is no better place than "home" and no better Club than Cholsey Bluebirds. I am very proud to be involved with such a great group of adults, parents and especially, the children. |

BARRY PRIMMER CLICK HERE 31/8/2005 and before 1/9/2006 dm1967@sky.com 01491 651145 07711 475960 18 Cross Road Cholsey OX10 9PE I have been involved with football in Cholsey for 38 years now , having played for the Bluebirds in my early years and progressing into Cholsey Utd men's football on Sunday mornings under the guidance of the unforgettable Ron ‘’Flippy’’ Fox. I was a regular for Wallingford Utd and AFC Wallingford Res on Saturdays. After a back injury put a stop to my playing I moved into management at United. This was my way of staying involved and was run along side my involvement with the Bluebirds under 6s at the time, which I took up to under 15s. My next challenge was my current team which, along side assistant Barry ‘’King’’ Primmer, we intend to relish every moment. We are committed to Cholsey Bluebirds and the Village that has always been our home. We hope that every single boy or girl who comes along will enjoy what we're trying to achieve. We always have time for anybody who would like to come along whether to play or train. We have met so many friends either playing with or against over the years and hope the boys and girls will do the same. |

Andy Chapman, a parent, took over the team in 2010 as U8s (see below), and I welcomed a new group of U7s. I have stayed with them and the 2019/20 season will be my 10th year. Originally, I anticipated retiring last year . . . . . . but the OMYFL decided to include the U16s age group 3 years ago . . . . and now have included up to U18s ! So I could STILL have 2 more years left . . . . if I last that long ! |

ANDY CHAPMAN
CLICK HERE 31/8/2002 and before 1/9/2003 chappers73al@outlook.com 07753 949575 I grew up in Cholsey playing for various Bluebirds age groups up until my teenage years. I have played football on a regular basis over the years both at university and then when returning home with various company teams and groups of friends which I continue to do now. After moving away from Cholsey in my early 20s, I moved back in 2005 where I now live with my wife and three children. Initially, I was involved in the club as a parent watching my son play in the Under 7s. I took on the coaching and management responsibilities as they moved to Under 8s once the children had had an excellent grounding in football from Dave Evans (now U11s manager). Since the late 1990’s I have also been involved in running Cholsey Cricket Club and have successfully seen the club move from the recreation ground in the village to Cholsey Meadows. The aim of the cricket club is based on the same philosophies I apply to the football team - to promote an environment where people of any ability can come and enjoy taking part in sport in a friendly, safe and supportive environment. |
