A huge thank you to everyone who took part in SAK in 2018/19 - a very important and fun fund-raising initiative for the club. We turn our attention now to constructing the 50-strong cast list for 2019/20! I have e mailed all current SAK players and three or four additional potential syndicates who have declared an interest in joining in the fun next season. I have already heard back from many of you. Thank you for your continued support. If you haven’t already done so, please could you let me know ASAP what your plans are for next season so that we can plan nice and early. Also a shout out to any new players for 2019/20 to contact me if they want to be a part of the madness My e mail address is adrian.barry@suttonunited.net #together

Thank you for the terrific response received to date to renew/join in the SAK fun next season.
My apologies if you have already replied to me indicating whether you are in or out for the upcoming campaign - there have been rather a lot of e mails flying around on all sorts of subjects recently so sorry if I have missed it!
However; there’s lots to do during the close season and I am trying to get super organised and really want to finalise the cast list for SAK 2019/20 before the end of the month. So; if you have yet to reply/decide, I would be most grateful if you could let me know by e mail in the next week or so what your plans are for next season.
Thanks again for your wonderful support

The 2019/20 Strikers are Key campaign starts with a bang (or should that be a bellow?) this Saturday after the match v Chorley with a DOUBLE DRAW. We start the season with a gentle £200 up for grabs in respect of the match v Barnet, which will swell to a minimum of £400 (if not won first time round) in draw 2 in respect of the Chorley match. Remember that £200 is put in the safe for every home League match and £50 gets added for every goal scored by the nominated strikers ( home and away League goals) . This season goals scored by Messrs Jarvis, Bugiel, Wright, Kearney, Bolarinwa and Ajiboye all count PLUS of course those notched by the legend that is Craig Dundas....but not Harry B I’m afraid!! Those syndicate leaders who have yet to collect their membership card - please find me on Saturday! 5:35pm Sat in the Players’ Bar. Can’t wait #suttonfamily

The 2019/20 Strikers are Key season started in characteristically chaotic fashion with a remarkable double success for “man v safe” after Saturday’s 2-2 comeback draw v Chorley.
Featuring strongly in the evening’s events were Harry Beautyman and Jamie Collins, who brought their excellent on-pitch form in the first week of the new National League campaign to the SAK stage too!
Ball 24, owned by Malcolm Boyle, was the first out of the purple velvet bag in respect of the match v Barnet on Tuesday. In Malcolm’s absence, Captain JC stepped forward and proceeded to open the safe on his behalf winning him £200 along the way!
Then, in the second draw of the day, Phil White’s ball 11 was the next to appear. Phil delegated the responsibility to Harry Beautyman to attempt to open the safe and he also duly displayed the Midas touch by choosing the right key on Phil’s behalf winning him £250, the coffers having been swelled by £50 courtesy of Aaron Jarvis’ strike earlier in the day.
Quite a day!
Onwards to 24th we go and the third draw of the season after the match v Dover Athletic. See you then.

The third Strikers are Key draw of the season took place in the lovely cool environs of the beautifully air-conditioned MBA Lounge after yesterday’s match v Dover Athletic.
SAK history was made as ball 34 made its first-ever appearance out of the purple velvet bag; the ball owned by Phil Letts and long-distance U’s fan,Anthony Russell, who follows the team’s fortunes from Canada. Sadly Bobby Childs was unable to choose the right key for them in their absence and the two chaps had to make do with the £50 consolation prize.
It all means a minimum of £450 will be up for grabs at next Saturday’s draw after the match v Maidenhead United.
See you then.

Ball 15, owned by the syndicate “Shameless”, comprising Graeme Anticevich, Ray Gibbons and Terry Gould, was the latest one out of the SAK purple velvet bag as the fourth draw of the season took place after the match v Maidenhead United.
Unfortunately, Graeme was unable to pick the key which would have opened the safe and the three guys had to make do with the £50 consolation prize.
It all means a minimum of £650 is up for grabs at next Saturday’s draw which will be made after the game v Notts County.
See you there.

£650 found its way into the Strikers are Key safe for the fifth SAK draw of the season which was made after the match v Notts County, following two consective unsuccessful attempts at relieving it of its contents in the previous two weeks.
Ball 21 appeared out of the purple velvet bag, belonging to “ Hooked on U’s”, owned by Julian Rozario.
Sadly, Julian was unable to make it “third time lucky” as he too couldn’t pick out the correct key thereby having to make do with the £50 consolation prize.
It all means that a minimum of £850 will be up for grabs at the next draw - to be made after the match v Chesterfield in two weeks’ time.
See you there

The sixth Strikers are Key draw of the season took place in a jubilant Players’ Bar following the terrific 4-0 win against Chesterfield.
Goals by Aaron Jarvis and Tommy Wright boosted the safe’s contents to £1,000 and it was the turn of the owners of ball 18, the syndicate “The Mulligans”, comprising Mark Hamill, Paul Lamkin and Sean Donnelly, to see if they could choose the right key and relieve the SAK safe of its booty.
Sadly for them, the safe is proving a tough nut to crack of late and for the fourth game in a row, the quest proved unsuccessful and the three guys had to make do with the £50 consolation prize.
It all means we have a minimum of £1200 up for grabs in the next (double) draw which will take place in two weeks’ time after the match v Stockport County.
Until then!

It was “double Strikers are Key” draw time in the Players’ Bar after the U’s first-ever match v Stockport County. Draw 7 of the season ( in respect of the match v Dagenham) saw ball 31 emerge from the purple velvet bag owned by “ The Oddbods”, comprising Graham, Daphne, Simon and Lyn Baker and Judith Tonge. Sadly Graham was unable to choose the right key and his syndicate had to make do with the £50 consolation prize. The same fate then befell the owners of ball 25 which was next out, owned by “The Management Team”; Matt Gray, Jason Goodliffe, Clive Baxter, Micky Stephens and Bobby Childs. They too had to be content with just £50 as their quest to unlock the safe also proved to be in vain. That’s six draws in a row now in which the safe has proved impregnable and means a minimum of £1600 will be up for grabs in Draw 9 which will be made after the match v Ebbsfleet United on 26th Oct. Until then! Someone’s going to win big soon #Yourclub

After six consecutive unsuccessful attempts to relieve the SAK safe of its ever-growing bounty, the owners of ball 14 “ One and Four”, enjoyed a red letter day in draw nine of the season made after the match v Ebbsfleet. Syndicate members John Lowe, Norman Summerfield, Peter Bromige, Mike Harding, David and John Parker walked away with £1700 as, finally, the right key was selected and the safe was relieved of its substantial contents. Congratulations to them. There will be a smile on the faces of the “Tuesday crew” this week for sure!
Onwards we go to next time - a double draw to be made after the match v Bromley on 23rd Nov.
See you then.

It was lovely to see Maxime Biamou back down the Lane to support the U’s and our grateful thanks to him for joining in and making the Strikers are Key draw in the Players’ Bar after the match v Bromley. You couldn’t make up the script as he pulled ball number 1 out of the purple velvet bag, the number held by the Strikers’ syndicate! Tommy Wright then donned the golden jacket and promptly chose the right key thereby winning the syndicate the £250 main prize. Congratulations to them!
NB There will be a “Yorkshire double draw” which will be made after next Saturday’s game v Harrogate Town. My apologies for the “operational issues” which meant that the draw in respect of the match v FC Halifax Town didn’t take place today as scheduled. It will now take place next week with £200 in the safe before the draw in respect of the Harrogate game is made as normal. Then we’re back on track.
See you then!

A packed and understandably very ebullient Players’ Bar greeted the double “ Yorkshire Strikers are Key draw” which was made after the terrific 3-1 win v Harrogate Town.
The draws were conducted by a very happy Tommy Wright whose two superb goals earlier in the day had lit up Gander Green Lane.
The first ball out was ball 3 owned by the syndicate “Another Goal Missed” comprising Neil Robinson, Paul Lane, Russell Miller, David Smart, Kevin Holton and Harry Halford. Unfortunately, the guys weren’t able to choose the right key and had to make do with the £50 consolation prize.
Better luck befell the owners of ball 4, next out of the purple velvet bag and owned by Paul, Tim and Janice Loughlin. With the coffers swelled to £550 courtesy of Tommy’s three goals in the past week against Dagenham and Harrogate, our super club photographer, Paul stepped up to the SAK stage and promptly opened the safe. Congratulations to the Loughlin family!
Onwards we go to Wrexham on 21st Dec.
