We’re launching Friday Night Football — a series of floodlit youth tournaments running on Friday evenings at Brinkley between March and the end of May. All proceeds go towards our 3G pitch project, so every event helps us get closer to delivering a fantastic new facility for the whole club.

With so many recent fixtures lost to bad weather, there’s a real appetite among teams to get out and play. This is your chance to give your players a competitive, atmospheric evening of football under the lights on the main first team pitch. We’d love every Southwell City age group to get involved.
