Welcome to my summer notes which have been written with season 2023/24 in mind. In welcoming new First Team manager Stevie Allen, we will be running one team in the MGBSFL and one in the Maccabi Masters League. Unfortunately, we were unable to sustain a Second Team and had to fold this side during the summer. However, we look forward to the new campaign with eager relish.

Simon Linden, our Director of Football, has stepped down from managing duties to a more pro-active role of overseeing the playing side of the Club, whilst our administration officer Kerry Higham and myself will continue to look after the behind-the-scenes Administration. This kind of teamwork allows our team managers to focus on their respective sides with a view to hopefully bringing the best out of their players.

Season 2022/23 was not the best of on the playing front with all three teams finishing in the lower section of their own divisions. However, on the financial side the club did very well to cover a record breaking expenditure. One can read a summary of the season in these reports – Chairman's Report, General Secretary's Report.

I am pleased to report that we are remaining at Silver Jubilee Park – albeit with reduced usage due to the Second Team's demise – which provides the best playing surface in the MGBSFL if not anywhere else in London.

The Club has a Code of Conduct which we expect all our players to adhere to, which includes maintaining a good record of sportsmanship and discipline.

I am very proud of TFFC's history, stature, reputation and longevity, which continue to make us one of the best run clubs in both leagues. So as we approach our 48th consecutive season in Maccabi football, we are anticipating stability within the Club and hopefully a good season ahead.

Should you require further information or have any queries related to TFFC, please do not hesitate to contact Kerry, Simon or myself.
