Official Oldland Abbotonians Football Club Twitter - 3 seniors mens teams and a U18s with the First team playing in the Toolstation Western Premier Division.
1/3 It is with great sadness that I can inform the Football community the passing of our long serving clubs member Dale Dempsey after a long illness. Dale joined the club through the Longwell green Abbotonians connection signed by another past club legend Alan Bush as a player.
New signing alert!
Jacob Saunders makes the switch to the O’s! It’s fair to say he has the bit inbetween his teeth, proving in pre-season he has the capabilities to cause opponents a headache on the pitch! We look forward to seeing Jacob in blue & white!
Nuff said. Thank you to everyone who is helping out the staff, the wives, the girlfriends, the volunteers. We couldn’t do it without you xx

3/3 by all his Football friends.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Sarah, Josh, Jade and all the family.

Oldland Abbotonians are shocked and saddened to hear of this incident. This is totally unacceptable behaviour. We are going to investigate this incident so we can identify the individuals responsible. We will be contacting the referee & his Father directly.
Delighted to say, Stef Lee signs after a great pre-season with the O’s!
Another move from Keynsham to Oldland, Stef is confident that we have the right set up to push for promotion! He’s a winner & someone the team already look up to! We hope to see Stef hit the ground running!
“Read”er all about it!!
Jacob Reader retained! After a great finish to last season. “Reader” has unfinished business & is looking to hit the ground running to take the O’s to the next level.
We are delighted to announce the signing of former professional Matt Green. After playing for Birmingham, Grimsby, Oxford and Cardiff he has decided to return to local football and join our project. Welcome to The Os Matt!

2/3 Dale was very instrumental of the amalgamation between Abbots & Oldland FC. He has served the club as a Player, Manager, Committee member and took up the role as our groundsman. He was very well known in the Football world as a very competitive person and will be sadly missed
A warm welcome to Oldland Abbitonians to our new signing Sean Keet, a great addition to our strong squad for this season, had a solid debut on Wednesday!

Tomorrow 3.00 we host Willand Rovers a game that might have paid the bills. No spectators allowed but a public footpath from pay booth along front of stand and side of pitch that we are barred from closing off and a public open space the other side - view here. Nothing we can do?
Thank you to
@NandTFC
for respecting our minute silence in honour of Dale Dempsey who recently passed away.
Our boys also warmed up in ‘Mr Oldland’ tops in memory of him!
Not the result we wanted but we look to put it right Saturday.

Comments below from Callum and Josh ⬇️
Firstly we would like to thank Clayton Woodman and Paul Weeks for giving us the opportunity to be a part of this club.
We have confirmation!
After a lot of interest around his future, Harry Pruett has decided to stay with us for another season!
The craftsman has bags of talent & contributes massively across the pitch! It’s fair to say, we’re happy to get this deal done!
Great credit to the

patched up squad who went to high flying
@HelstonAFC

Another great addition to the squad with bags of experience in the toolstation prem! He knows what it takes to get promoted & has decided to make the move from Keynsham & help take Oldland to the next level!
Finally to complete the magnificent 7...
A big welcome to Jack Sheppard.
"Jack has quality & vision that compliments our style of play, I'm looking forward to seeing his positive play this season" Lee Lintern Joint 1st Team Manager

The ever consistent, experienced & highly rated goal keeper has committed once again to Castle Road. A rock in the team who everyone looks up to. We are delighted to keep Josh in between the sticks for another season.

1/2 We would like to announce the date of Dale Dempsey’s funeral which will take place at Westerliegh Crematorium on Monday 4th March at 10.15am.
There will be a wake at Oldland Abbotonians FC bar which will be open from 11am till late.
Today's man of the match, Mitch Dann, presented with his bubbly by today's sponsor Mike Shopland. Mitch throughly deserved the award following an impressive shift. It was a quality team performance in a dominant display for our 3 nil home win against Warminster.
Up the 'O's 🔵⚪️
New beginnings for David Ishi!
Making the move from Odd Down, Ishi is looking for a new challenge with a promotional push as the number 1 target!
A great reader & professional of the game with bags of composure on the ball, Ishi is the right fit for the club moving forward!

We are really saddened to hear that ex player Graham Day has sadly passed away.
Our thoughts are with all of Graham’s family and friends at this sad sad time.
1/2
• TOMORROW •
As you know tomorrow is Dale Dempsey’s funeral. At Oldland we have added an extra bar to create more room to hold more people in the club, this bar is cash only so please bring cash tomorrow.
Aaron Mansfield returns to Castle Road after a very successful first season with the O’s.
He made a big statement being last seasons top scorer after stepping up from county league. We’re excited to see what he can do this time around after a full season under his belt.
It’s now official from Bristol Prem and District Leagues. The rest of this season is cancelled although clubs may play friendlies once national restrictions are eased. A good sensible early decision - we back it 100%
Welcome Home! Jordan Greenwood, "Delighted Jordan has chosen Oldland for the coming season, Jordan brings experience of this level & above which will be invaluable this season" Darren Sealey Joint 1st Team Manager

"Goals win games, & this lad has bags of them, I can't wait to see him light up the Premier Division, building on his success last season" - Darren Sealey- 1st Team Manager
Another crowd pleaser!
We are pleased to announce the signing of 23 year old Jacob Reader from Bishop Sutton. Formerly with Roman Glass, Cribbs and Odd Down it is yet another exciting addition and he goes into tomorrow’s squad (can I go to bed now?)
Cash Vinall retained!
A player that leads by example. He wears his heart on his sleeve and will give every last ounce on the pitch week in, week out! We're delighted to have him back as an Oldland player this season.
They said "Get Carter" so we did... A very warm welcome to Danny.
"Danny brings us lots of options & a physical presence at both ends of the pitch, great to have him with us" Lee Lintern 1st Team Joint Manager

Ryan Dunn puts pen to paper!
Dunners comes in to the squad bringing added qualities and experience that would help get the O’s to where they want to be! Being able to play across the back line is a massive asset to the team.
A great first win today with some new ish faces including Danny Carter and Jordan Greenwood and without the suspended Casey Woodman and Ashley Kendall. We go again midweek at
@NandTFC
- love it. Football is back !!
Another important signing as vice captain Jack Mills stays with the o’s for another season!
The ever present, passionate & dedicated “millsy” is an asset to the club & we look forward to watching him take to the pitch in blue & white once again!
Disappointing afternoon result wise but very pleasant day in good company and a crowd of over 750.

3 a late winner. Thanks to the hosts and see you next year on grass at ours (well mud but you know what we mean)
“Ow stays with the O’s”
After a decent season causing opponents all sorts of problems, It was a no brainer that we had to get this one in the bag!
We’re sure we will be seeing another great season from Owen & confident he will be competing again for top scorer!
Another great signing!
Jai Macleod joins the O’s after showing in pre-season his contributions would be very valuable. With pace & talent & goals in his locker, we are pleased with the signing of jai!
⚽️ | Man Of The Match!
Today’s man of the match is awarded to Kris Miller whose stunning 25 yard free kick was the winner in our 1-0 win.

Ellis Clark gets the nod!
After stepping up from the reserves at the end of last season, Ellis is nudging his way into the first team squad! It’s great to be holding on to the youngsters as they are the future!
Not sure why this one isn’t on Boxing Day🙄🤔. It’s big, it’s massive it’s derby day.
