The Snodland team that kicked off against Maidstone Utd Lights shine on Stones game
ABOUT 400 people saw Snodland Town Football Club play aMaidstone Utd team to celebrate the switching-on of their £48,000 floodlights at Po- tyns Sports Ground. Maidstone included four first teamers, academy and Under 21s play-
ers with Jay Saunders, the manager of the Vanarama National League club present. Snodland fielded players from the first team, reserves, Sun- day and Veterans and despite a valiant effort, they lost 3-0. Snodland was promoted to the Southern Counties East First Division
this season bringing the highest standard of football played in the town. The floodlights were installed thanks to a £33,570 grant from the Pre-
mier League through the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (FSIF). A FSIF statement said: “The funding has facilitated Snodland Town
FC's impressive rise through the football pyramid, with the club record- ing their highest position in history through their promotion to step 6 foot- ball in division one of the Southern Counties East Football League.” Dave Jeal, chief executive officer of Snodland Town FC, said the club
was extremely grateful for the financial assistance it had received from FSIF and thanked Maidstone United for bringing such a strong squad to Snodland for the game.

Maidstone and Malling's No.1 Newspaper
told Town Talk: “Our dear friend Glenn Wood, of Midsummer Road, Snod- land, had been in the hospice for four weeks when his sister told one of the doctors about his last wish. “He did not
want anything major. He just wished he could go to the
coast, sit on the sea wall and eat fish and chips.” The following morning Glenn, pictured, ordered his lunch as usual and just before it was served, members of the staff ap- peared in his room and pro- ceeded to set up a projector screen. A slide show showed various south coast pictures complete
with sounds of waves and seag- ulls. Lunch was brought in, but it was not whatGlenn had ordered – it was fresh fish and chips in a takeaway box with sachets of vinegar and tartar sauce. Dessert was a large knicker- bocker glory. Dr JoseMunoz then produced a bottle of sea water which he sprayed over Glenn to add authenticity. Glenn, Vanda who also lives in Midsummer Road, and his cousin had a thor- oughly enjoyable time. Dr Munoz had spent four hours
the previous day trawling the in- ternet and putting everything in place.
Glenn passed away the follow-
ing Friday, September 16. Glenn never married and was a landscape gardener. He lived in Snodland for about 40 years at Townsend Road, Dowling Close and Midsummer Road. He spent a lot of time raising money for charities. Vanda, Glenn's cousins and close friends thank Dr Munoz and all the staff at the hospice for giving Glenn his last wish.
