Club Update

The club will enter the new season with 60 teams continuing our huge growth and development of recent years as we leave our old ground in Chestnut Avenue at the end of October and move the whole club permanently to our new £10M home in Stoneham Lane, Eastleigh.

Our first ever season in the Wessex Premier league was curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic at a point when we were sitting 2nd in the league and having a great season. We will hope to build on last season having retained almost the whole squad with the additions of Duarte Martins, Sam Woodward, Craig Hunt and Filippos Terzidis.

A feature of this summer has been the significant growth in female teams from four last season to twelve for the new season which we are delighted about. In addition we now have five new under 7 teams and four new under 8 teams full of children playing in teams for the first time which is fantastic news.

Like all Community Grassroots sports clubs the pandemic has effected our club with the loss of two summer tournaments, our annual trip to Holland, loss of first team gate money and grant monies being cancelled whilst still having to pay bills. We have moved forward due to good financial planning and through the support of our many great sponsors and supporters for which we are all very grateful.

Our teams have all been training now for some two months under strict COVID-19 guidelines and their seasons are currently due to start during the first couple of weeks of September. After the recent challenges leading to no football for nearly six months we feel sure that the 2020/21 season is possibly the most eagerly anticipated of all time!
