Halstead Town

A brief history

You join us, two seasons deep into our career at Step 11 side, Halstead Town. The Humbugs had a rollercoaster of a first season, starting off strong in a tough league. However the second half of the season proved tricky as Halstead trailed off and struggled to find a run of form. Third place was the best they could muster come the end of May.
Going into the second season, fresh loan signings gave the team hope and a mixed start to the league soon transformed into a fantastic run of form which saw Halstead drop no lower than 2nd place throughout the rest of the season. It was champagne all around as Halstead celebrated their first promotion and a league title!
In my third year as Head coach at Halstead, I will be leading them into the abyss of the Essex Senior League. Can we solidify our position in that league? Can we push for a back to back promotion? Only time will tell.

[b]Halstead Town bring in two familiar faces to kick off their summer activity![/b]

Ian Mackay joins the Humbugs on a permanent basis after a successful loan spell at the club last season. A young left back with a tremendous amount of pace and the ability to play anywhere down that left hand side. Hopefully a handful for the Essex Senior league sides this season.

The second signing of the summer is another very familiar face and it is the man who scored 24 goals in 24 games, in all competitions last season. Anthony Prospere joins on $40 a week for a year. Fans will be hoping he can continue the form he showed last season.

[b]Fixtures announced for the Essex Senior League 2022/23 season![/b]

Halstead Town kick off their season against newly relegated side, Witham. Witham are 2-1 favourites with the bookies to go back up this year so will prove a tough opener for the Humbugs. In their fifth game of the season, Halstead welcome a familiar foe in Harwich, to Rosemary Lane. Halstead close out their season against Sporting Bengal United who are hoping to avoid a relegation battle this season.

[b]Season preview and odds[/b]

Halstead are currently predicted to finish in 14th place. They will be looking to the experienced heads of Harris and Pavett, as well as the abundance of youth players coming through, to avoid a relegation scrap and establish themselves within the league.
