OPPOSITION

       LUKE STARTED HIS CAREER AS A YTS
       AT SWINDON TOWN, MAKING HIS FULL
       PROFESSIONAL DEBUT AT 18-YEARS-OLD
       AGAINST OLDHAM ATHLETIC ON 26TH
       APRIL 2003. HE WENT ON TO MAKE 17
       APPEARANCES FOR THE ROBINS BEFORE
       BRIEF SPELLS AT BISHOP’S STORTFORD,
       BOREHAM WOOD AND NORTHWOOD. LUKE
       LATER JOINED AFC WIMBLEDON IN MARCH
       2006.
       A cult hero with Wimbledon’s fans, he made over
       100 appearances for the club, mainly as a right-back
       but also occasionally in the centre of midfield. In
       November 2008, Garrard tore his cruciate ligament
       during training which kept him out for the rest of that
       season. From the start of the 2009-10 season, he
       made only occasional appearances for the Wombles,
       which saw him re-join the Wood in January 2010.

       Luke couples his role as First Team Manager at
       Meadow Park with his role as the Academy Manager.
       The 31-year-old was originally an Academy Coach at
       the Club in 2008, before being promoted to Academy
       Director in 2012. Luke was the appointed Ian Allinson’s
       Assistant in 2013, a position he held for two-and-a-
       half-years. Upon Ian’s Departure in October 2015,
       Luke was appointed as First Team Manager, becoming
       the youngest boss in all of England’s top five division’s.
       His first game in charge a 1-1 draw away with Guiseley.
       Luke would steer the Wood away from the relegation
       zone in the club’s inaugural season in the National
       League. The side clinched survival on the last game of
       the season away to already relegated Welling United
       with a comprehensive 3-0 victory.

       Luke’s stock has further risen in the following seasons,
       having taken the Wood to Wembley for the first time
       in their history back in 2017/18. The side achieved their
       highest ever National League finish, and reached the
       play-off Final against Tranmere Rovers, narrowly losing
       2-1.

       Garrard maintained the Wood’s National League status
       in the 2018/19 season, finishing 8 points above the
       relegation zone in 20th.

is our annual coffee and cake fundraiser supporting Dementia UK to
raise funds for Admiral Nurses who provide the specialist dementia
support that families need on their free helpline (08008886678).

Each year, more of us have friends and family diagnosed with
Dementia, and we feel privileged to be able to help those less
fortunate then ourselves. Recently, one of our players, Kevin Ziants
was on the BBC Inside Out programme discussing a family Dementia
issue and we have supported the Dementia Club UK Barnet who he
is associated with by fundraising and attending Finchley Memorial
Hospital to help at a Dementia club sessions.

We would like to thank Mr Russell Grant, a great fundraiser for
Dementia who sent us a signed copy of his book to auction and of
course, Igor at the Hive Bar for his continued support of our events.

Controversial chairman Glenn Tamplin has claimed that his new
club Romford are already a bigger club than his former side
Billericay Town. Despite having picked up four wins from their
last four games, the side still sit bottom of the BetVictor Isthmian
League Table, now being level on points with the club just outside
the relegation zone, behind only on goal difference. “This is already
bigger than Billericay, it’s already got a different bond and feel to
Billericay” said the 48 year old multi-millionaire. “I loved my time
at Billericay and I loved 99.9 per cent of the fans, but I love 100
per cent about everyone and everything at Romford, that’s the
difference”.
