Naomi Richmond Named Club Volunteer for May

by

Congratulations to our May Volunteer of the Month: Naomi Richmond!

Three seasons ago, when the U10 Troopers found themselves without a coach, Naomi stepped up without hesitation. She took on the responsibility and has done a fantastic job ever since, guiding the team through to their current U13 season. Her commitment to those players, making sure they had a coach, a team, and a season, is exactly the kind of selfless dedication that makes this club what it is.

Under Naomi’s guidance, the Troopers have gone from strength to strength, and today was no exception. The team capped off a brilliant performance with an impressive 8-2 victory against Aslockton & Orston, a result that speaks volumes about the environment and belief Naomi has built within the squad.

We’re delighted to name Naomi Richmond as our May Volunteer of the Month. Pictured here with her players, she’s receiving a voucher for The Old Theatre Deli in Southwell and a bottle of prosecco from Club Chairman John Cunningham at the Centenary Ground following today’s win.

Thank you, Naomi, for your outstanding contribution to Southwell City!

Could you be our next female coach? Naomi’s story is a brilliant example of what one person can do for a group of young players. We’re keen to get more women involved in coaching at Southwell City, at all ages and levels. If you’re interested, whether you have experience or are just curious about getting started, please contact the club.

U13 Girls Step Up and Deliver

by

It’s been a very different season for the Southwell City U13 Girls this year. Having spent just one year at 9v9, coming runners up in Division 1, they made the big step to 11v11 in 25/26. This brought its own challenges: recruiting more players, learning to play on bigger pitches and covering more ground on match days. The coaches (Danny Weiss, Matt Jarman and Rachel Strange) were never in doubt that this talented group would step up to the mark.

After successful summer recruitment, the girls were keen to show what they could do. Despite a stop-start season due to the weather, they secured a cup final spot in April and are chasing the Division 1 title with games in hand. This is testament to their passion and ability.

The team also benefitted from a very generous sponsorship contribution from Aero EV Solutions, who provided new Nike drill tops and away shirts sourced through the SCFC club shop. We really do appreciate their support.

As part of the club’s deal with Nike, the girls have also been invited to represent SCFC at the Nike Partner Event tournament at none other than St George’s Park. Girls’ football at SCFC is definitely on the up!

James Dealtry-Smith Named Club Volunteer for April

by

Congratulations to our April Volunteer of the Month: James Dealtry-Smith!

James has quickly established himself as one of the most dependable volunteers at Southwell City. Many of you will know him as the assistant manager to Doc Ball’s U10 Panthers team, but James has also been putting in the hard work to help develop a potential new U10 side for next season, a fantastic contribution to the future of our junior section.

When there’s a job to be done around Memorial Ground, James is never shy to get stuck in. Whether it’s clearing gutters, fixing toilets, or tackling whatever maintenance challenge comes his way, his willingness to help out makes a real difference to the club.

Beyond the training pitch and the groundwork, James has also taken on an important role in building bridges between our junior and senior sections, arranging for junior players to attend first team matches as mascots, including running the half-time penalty shootouts that have become a firm favourite. It’s exactly the kind of initiative that helps bring our whole club together.

We’re delighted to name James Dealtry-Smith as our April Volunteer of the Month. Pictured here at Memorial Ground, he’s receiving a voucher for The Old Theatre Deli in Southwell and a bottle of prosecco from Club Chairman John Cunningham.

Thank you, James, for your outstanding contribution to Southwell City!

Will Stocks – 300 Appearances and Counting

by

Three hundred appearances for a single football club is a milestone that very few players ever reach. When you consider that Will Stocks has achieved it by the age of just 29, it becomes all the more remarkable.

Will made his debut for his hometown club, Southwell City, twelve years ago, and like many young players finding their feet, there were seasons early on where first team opportunities were limited. But rather than drift away or seek football elsewhere, he kept his head down, kept working, and kept coming back. To accumulate 300 appearances requires far more than just ability. It demands commitment, consistency, dedication and a loyalty that goes beyond simply turning up on a Saturday afternoon. Over those twelve years, Will has developed enormously as a player and played a significant part in the progress this club has made.

It is no secret that the Stocks family and Southwell City go hand in hand, and it is plain to see how proud they are of what Will has achieved here.

Before our last home match, first team manager Jonny Upton presented Will with a trophy to commemorate the occasion, a fitting moment of recognition in front of his home crowd.

Will, congratulations from the chairman, committee, management, teammates and every supporter who has watched you pull on the shirt. Three hundred appearances is a wonderful achievement. We hope there are plenty more to come.

Wolves Crowned Winter League Champions

What a way to finish the first half of the season! Southwell City U9 Wolves wrapped up the winter campaign in style, clinching the league title and receiving their trophy from Nottingham Forest legend Neil Webb – a moment the boys will never forget.

Throughout the campaign, the Wolves have played with real enthusiasm and supported one another every step of the way. Each player has grown in confidence and skill, but what stands out most is the team spirit and the friendships they’ve built along the way

Winning the winter league is a fantastic achievement, and with the spring campaign still ahead, there’s plenty more to look forward to. A huge thank you to all the parents for their brilliant support, and to JRG Productions, Monster Mortgages, and The Barber’s Chair for sponsoring the boys’ training kits.

Well done, Wolfpack – you’ve made everyone at Southwell City very proud!

Joe Button Named Club Volunteer for January

by

Congratulations to our January Volunteer of the Month: Joe Button!

Joe has quickly become an invaluable asset to Southwell City, helping out in multiple ways. As coach of our U11 Girls team, he’s helping develop young players while fostering a positive team environment that encourages both skill development and enjoyment of the game.

But Joe’s contributions extend far beyond the training pitch. He’s helped us to install extra lighting at Brinkley, giving us more options for evening training sessions. With a couple more lights planned for that space, this is a real help.

Joe has also recently joined our executive committee to help with future planning at the club. Whether he’s coaching on the pitch, installing lights, or contributing to club decisions, Joe’s all-round commitment is exactly what makes volunteer-run clubs like ours work.

We’re delighted to name Joe Button as our January Volunteer of the Month. Pictured here receiving a voucher for The Old Theatre Deli in Southwell and a bottle of prosecco from Club Chairman John Cunningham.

Thank you, Joe, for your outstanding contribution to Southwell City!

Southwell City U11 Girls on the Rise

by

Southwell City Under 11 Girls are enjoying a strong run of form after a slow start to the season. The team, made up of girls from four different local schools, needed time to settle, but their hard work soon paid off.

Improved performances led to a winning streak, pushing the team up the league and boosting confidence. With recent fixtures affected by poor weather, the girls are now eager to return to action and continue where they left off.

Coaches Joe Button and Brett Morris have been delighted with the team’s progress and commitment. The girls train every week at the Minster School, creating a supportive environment where friendships flourish alongside footballing skills. Parents and supporters have been brilliant throughout, providing encouragement from the sidelines through thick and thin.

Their success highlights the growing popularity of girls’ football, with more teams than ever taking to the pitch — a positive sign for the future of the game.

Ladies Team Seeks Community Partners

by

Southwell City Ladies FC is calling on local businesses to join them in supporting the exciting growth of women’s football in our community. With the 2025/26 season now underway, the team is looking for sponsors who share their passion for promoting ladies and girls football.

The club is offering a range of sponsorship opportunities to suit different budgets and interests, including tracksuits, hoodies, away kit, training wear, and pitchside banners. Each package provides an excellent way to back local talent whilst promoting your business and gaining valuable social media exposure across the club’s growing platforms.

What makes this partnership particularly appealing is the flexibility on offer – sponsorship can even be shared between businesses, allowing multiple companies to split costs whilst still receiving equal exposure and recognition.

“We’re genuinely excited about the future of our Ladies team and want to work with businesses who believe in what we’re doing,” the club explains. “This is about more than just sponsorship – it’s about building a community that champions women’s sport and provides opportunities for girls and young women in Southwell and beyond.”

Anyone interested in learning more about the sponsorship opportunities available can contact John Cunningham directly at [email protected] or call 07305 311354.
