Oxhey Jets draw 540 to Remembrance match as Wembley and Woodley meet

The week's most striking scene came at Oxhey Jets on Saturday 7 November, when the club hosted the Tigers of the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment in a Remembrance match. The club said 540 people attended, with bands, pipes and drums, trumpeters, scouts, Jets youth players and RAF colour bearers on show. Joe Brown laid the Jets footballers' wreath in memory of Tom Lake and Tom Sawyer in front of the regiment. The build-up had included a record attendance challenge, and the club billed it as the biggest non-league Remembrance match of 2026.

At Step 6 there was also a change of manager. PFC Victoria announced that the club and their manager had mutually decided to part ways after more than four and a half years. The club said he spent three seasons in charge of the U18 side before progressing to the first team, and gave his competitive record as 65 matches, 34 wins, 14 draws and 15 defeats, 116 points at 1.78 points per game. The club also welcomed Bartek Fogler and Paul Wrona to the first-team coaching staff alongside first-team manager Mateusz Czekalski, ahead of the home fixture with Colliers Wood United on Friday 6 November.

On the pitch, Woodley United were due at Wembley at Vale Farm for a 3pm kick-off on Saturday 7 November. Woodley's earlier home match against Berks County, on Tuesday 3 November, brought a report headed "No clean sheets tonight". Wembley posted "5 at home" and named Ned Jones player of the match for two goals and an assist. Sam Langan was their October player of the month, with nine goals in seven games. Wembley's own October review read seven games, four wins and 20 goals scored. Woodley's October award went to Jack Webb.

Other clubs had their own monthly honours. Colliers Wood United noted a 100 per cent record for October, and London Samurai Rovers named Rio Wallace Suzuki their October player of the month. London Samurai Rovers were next due at Spelthorne Sports Club's ground, at Staines Road West, Ashford.

Maidenhead Town lost at Westside on Saturday 7 November. The club said it "was not our day" and named Josh Pedley its man of the match for working in a deeper role. Before the game they were 14th and their hosts in the play-off zone. Their reserves drew 2-2 away to Newbury Town's reserves. Spelthorne Sports Club described a visit to the league leaders, and promoted support for their U18s.

Off the field, Bovingdon sold out of tickets for their fireworks display, with none available on the door, and Woodley United announced support for Woodley Food Bank throughout November.
