🥁NEW SIGNING🥁
We are very excited to announce the arrival of former
@AFCTotton
striker
@Sherbs10
to the club!! Experienced striker Sherbs will bring much more to the team than just goals and we can’t wait to see him in yellow and red 💛❤️
#welcomeSherbs
We are sad to hear the passing of former club member Tom Smith after a battle with cancer. In his early 20s Tom was taken far too soon. R.I.P Tom, you will be missed by all 😢
Here we go again…
Keeper and former captain
@FinlayTaylor
has taken the reigns of the first team so they can finish the season. We wish Fin and the team the best of luck 💛❤️
It’s with great sadness we must announce the folding of our first team. An incredible journey from u13 Testway through to Southampton premier. Unfortunately player commitment isn’t there and we can’t carry on! ⚽️💔
We are proud to announce that our first team will be merging with local Sunday side
@DingleRovers
for the upcoming season!
Things have moved rapidly but we are all excited for the season and plan to once again challenge for the
@southamptonsl
Premier title 🏆

Thanks to

Lack of updates for the fans recently which we apologise for.
A look at our recent results:

@SwayClub
3-3 thriller 🆚
@Denmead_FC
4-0 win 🆚
@BordonFc
Captain incredible did a shift in the sticks yesterday, is there anything this man cannot do?!
It is with great sadness that we have removed our first team from
@southamptonsl
premier division with immediate effect and have folded the side. It’s been an enjoyable 9 years but time has come to move onto new challenges 💛❤️
Big win on the road ⚡️
A commanding 3️⃣🆚1️⃣ victory.

Midfield general
@sampinkus
is next to sign on the dotted line.
Sam is a confident character who naturally organises those around him as well as putting all his energy in the way he plays. He’s impressive range of passing will be a massive benefit to the team

🔴GAME DAY🔴
We take the short trip down to Sidlesham to face
@Infinity_f_c
this evening as we’re back in
@HantsLeague
action after a number of cup games.
Looking to build on our recent success⚡️
First up we welcome centre half
@Charlie_Steele8
Charlie is a young Centre back who is good in the air, strong in a tackle and reads the game extremely well! A solid option for our already formidable defence

@FinlayTaylor
Although the Wessex teams aren’t happy, we have loved having some new faces at Priory Park watching our two local senior sides battle it out in some very competitive games. Everyone’s welcome and we hope to see more new faces in the coming weeks 😊⚽️
Thanks to all those getting in contact asking to take our players next season. The players who were left have made plans so please don’t contact us about their availability. Thank you!
First new signing is clinical striker
@Deancole9
. Dean has played for numerous Wessex league sides and has always been deadly in front of goal, something we missed last season! Welcome Deano

We travel to
@overtonunited
this Saturday for our rescheduled League Cup Quarter Final 🏆
We’ve offered to reverse the fixture if necessary so here’s hoping we get the game on 🤞
First up, we are excited by the return to the club of tireless midfielder
@Harrizonmoore
after time away at Uni and Colden Common. H is a fantastic addition to our midfield ranks offering a huge work rate, ball winning ability and an excellent range of passing 📝⚽️🔴🟡
Football is back!... and we have no league game 😢
Not to worry, the first team face
@Infinity_f_c
in a friendly 2pm Saturday at Priory Park

At last, preseason will finally kick off this Saturday as we host

returning to his boyhood club. Pace, power and fantastic link up play make Alex a fine addition to our attack ⚽️⚡️
With the first team at the half way mark in the league and with lockdown looming it seems like a good time for a table update

Somehow we’ve come away without a goal. Plenty of chances created, hitting the bar a few times and some good saves from the Fawley keepers. Enjoyable game played in the right spirits and some good football on show. Thank you to

We are sad to announce coach
@Paynerrr11
has left the club. With the restructure in place it was felt by both parties that it was the right time to go our separate ways. All the best to JP with his future plans ⚽️⚡️
Second new signing is one we are very please to get over the line. Former Portsmouth, Salisbury and Gosport centre half
@aaroncook1979
has put to paper for this season. Aaron will add some much needed experience to the back line as well as being a compose leader! ⚽️⚡️

Tom is Bishops Waltham answer to James Milner. He can operate in any position to a high standard. You’ll often see Tom flying down the right hand side whipping balls in the box

Able to play in CM or in more advanced roles Louie’s quick feet and ability to split defences with his passing will make him a big part of our attacking force this season
