A historic night for this little Club yesterday.
A little Club full of massive heart, huge characters and a wonderful community of volunteers & fans who have supported us not just in recent years but in some of our most difficult years of the past. This is a win for you all 💚
Milestone boys tonight for the old guard. Justin Millican hits 450 appearances while Kyle Reardon makes it 400 on a great Wednesday night for The Greens/Purples 💚💜
So much to debrief from a sensational night for this Club tonight. Might make sense of it all tomorrow, but for now, we are Benevolent Bowl winners for a 3rd time and we’re not finished yet, not by a long way 💚
Final day win. 3️⃣rd Place confirmed which is our highest finish since back in the Northern Alliance Premier Division.
Not bad for a bunch of farmers 🚜 💚
Last night was the first time we have (reluctantly) charged entry to the ground. It was incredibly humbling & gratifying to have endorsement of this decision by both home and away supporters. We are extremely grateful & appreciate everybody’s understanding.💚

Congratulations to Jordan Nellis who sealed our 3-1 victory tonight with his 32 league strike of the season which sees him claim the league Golden Boot 🏅🥾
Jordan finished the campaign with a total of 45 strikes in 37 games 😮💨💚
In the midst of a fantastic performance, 120 minutes and the pouring rain on Monday night captain
@Krisswillis8
became the latest entrant to the 💯 Club. This makes Kris the 11th player in the current squad to have reached this number.

Despite not getting the result we were after today at Whitley Bay, it was
@Kyler88
’s 350th appearance in a Green shirt this afternoon, 15 years on from his first away at Chopwell in January 2007 (which we also didn’t win 🤦🏽♂️) 💚
DOUBLE CENTURION
It was a captains performance today from our very own Jordan Nellis who scored an outstanding goal and led the line in what was his 200th game for the Club. Nella’s strike today was his 172nd in Green (but his first in Purple)
Before any bus tours around Scots’ Gap, which to be fair will take about 10 minutes (and that’s with 4 laps) on behalf of all 1,402 teams that started this, an enormous thanks to Chris
@CPriday
for organising all of this & keeping us all entertained during the past few months 💚
How about this for some Tuesday news.
449 days after an awful leg break
@bradrichardson_
finally got the pin out of his leg yesterday and has been given the go ahead to start some light training in a few weeks. We can’t wait to see his little face back with the lads 💚
Everyone at the club is absolutely thrilled with the the arrival of
@trevbwfc1
first daughter, born today at 11.57am! All of our love to all of the Bastons! Its been an incredible year and this news has us ending the season on the highest of highs!
#family
With yesterdays win we have secured 5th place and our highest ever points total in the Premier Division with two games to spare. This feat is all the more impressive after our difficult start in August while navigating two excellent cup runs in-between 💚
Everyone at Wallington Football Club is devastated to learn of the passing of Club Legend Mark Bruce.
Our thoughts are with Steph, Jordan, Tessa, Iain and the rest of the family at this tragic time.
Rest in Peace Brucey 💚
Not only did Jordan Nellis open the scoring last night but his 8th minute strike took us to 💯 goals for a 3rd consecutive season in his 250th appearance. Jordan has scored 224 in that period and his brace last night contributed to another memorable night for this Club 💚
Today marked John Paxton’s 350th game for the Club. An absolutely invaluable player for the Club over the years and still today. Even marked the occasion with a trademark backheel. Congratulations our

Absolutely delighted that our Secretary extraordinaire
@hmitchell1990
has been shortlisted for an
@FA
Grassroots Award for Volunteer of the year! Recognition for all of the work she has put into keeping our club going! Congratulations Hayley!!!

@nfalliance1890
History Makers!
This seasons title win has seen the team emulate what only one other Wallington side has done in its entire 147 year history - win the Northern Alliance Premier Division.
Frank O’Brien, part of that winning side 47 years ago has not missed a game this season 💚
Wrapped up another season at Scots’ Gap with another win and another clean sheet, which is our 5th in a row.
Only the league champions have beaten us at home this season with two draws and 12 wins.
Tremendous effort from everyone on and off the field.
One more to go 💚
What a win today and what a day for John Paxton. His 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣th game as a Green which has seen him score over 100 goals, win a league title, 3 county cups, 1 divisional cup and endless banter. A true Club legend 💚
@__pacca
Worldie incoming from last Thursday nights Benevolent Bowl final 🌎
It may have come in his 84th game for the Club, but as
@lewisrobson08
will tell you,
……Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
That’s a wrap for pre-season. Took a while to get going this afternoon but in the end we finished in style with all eyes on next weekend. Most importantly today though was celebrating Brucey! Thanks as always to
@FCRothbury
for hosting and we’ll see you again next year 💚
We know it’s a bit of fun but thank you for everyone who has voted for everyteam during this journey and boosted the profile of non-league football which is an absolute bedrock of this country and should be celebrated
Six years after joining from his hometown Newbiggin, Micky Angus today made his 150th appearance for The Greens, fittingly vs the side that he joined from. Lord of the Megs has been an integral part of the teams success in recent years and skippered the side to 3 points today 💚
On Saturday we learned tragic news of the passing of former player Peter Southern. Affectionately known as Stinky Pete. A massive character a great friend an extremely talented footballer. We are absolutely heartbroken and send our deepest condolences to Peters Family
#RIP

The Club is devastated to hear of the passing of ex player Sam Lough. Sammy came back in 2011 as a coach and was the catalyst for changing the mentality of the Club which started by ensuing that we committed to regular and structured training and instilling a mindset that…
It’s been a long fortnight after our last game but what a response from all 16 in Purple this afternoon away to top of the league. Still a long way to go but a massive 3 points 💜💚
Yesterday marked 💯 games in Green for
@_benturnbull
which he capped with an excellent first time finish in our 5-2 win. Ben made his debut at 16 in 2013 in our first ever game in the Premier and after a few years away is now one of the most valued players in the squad 💚
Sorry we have no photos of players holding shirts but we do have 5 cracking signings for the new campaign.
We’re delighted to welcome Jack Cooper, Ethan Page, Danny Roberts, Sheldon White & Curtis Williamson to the party. Can’t wait to see you in them shirts lads.

Disappointing result today in the League Cup but the most important thing was seeing
@bradrichardson_
back on the pitch in a Green shirt after almost 20 months out 💚
#bradtohaveyouback
First midweek action at Oakford Park since August tonight and oh what a night.
Desire in abundance from everyone in a Green shirt on a difficult pitch and the one piece of quality all evening brought about our winning goal from Andy Bell just before half time 💚
Oh what a difference 48 hours makes!
This team have been asked so many different questions this season and after a difficult couple of results they have once again shown their character and unrivalled team-spirit to bounceback with a brilliant 0-4 win on the road tonight💚
In the last week Ben Middleton is the latest player to join the 💯 Club for The Greens. A great teammate and character in the dressing room, Middla will play a vital role in the run in.
💚
@benmiddletonn_
Our heartfelt thanks to The Cowan family who have generously donated proceeds collected at Geordies funeral to the club.
Like George, the Cowan family will always be at the heart of Wallington FC 💚
Tell me the perfect way to cap 150 games as a Green?
Score two that’s how!
Congratulations
@t_truscott
, one of the best finishers and definitely the most stylish the Gap has ever seen 💚
Started in 1877 by local estate workers. Although we can’t welcome the local community in to watch us tonight we will don the Green shirts and proudly represent over 140 years worth of history/support.
Howay the Greens 💚

Fitting end to a good season at The Gap this afternoon. Clinical finishing in the first half and resolute defending in the 2nd with a man less means that its back to back 4th placed finishes in the Northern Alliance Premier, which isn’t bad for a bunch of farmers
Another entry to the 💯 Club - our midfield dynamo
@joshwillis16
. Josh is in his 6th season with The Greens and is an integral player in our side and a one who leads by example on the field. Only a scorer of great goals 💚
HE’S BACK!
Dressing room (and crowd!) favourite
@Andyybell
has returned to the club after a short spell at Bedlington Terriers. The midfielder has been a massive part of our success in recent seasons and comes straight back into the fold.
Welcome back, Andy! 💚
Another new arrival! The Club are delighted to announce the safe arrival of Isaac Willis into the world. We offer massive congratulations to captain
@Krisswillis8
& Jasmine on the birth of their beautiful baby boy 💚
It is with regret the team captain
@joshlaverick
has decided to move on from the Club. Josh has been an outstanding servant for over 6 seasons at Scots’ Gap racking up well over 100 appearances and 16 goals in the process. Everyone wishes Lav all the best 💚
Another cup tie successfully negotiated this afternoon sees The Greens march into The Benevolent Bowl semi-final for the 3rd time in 3 years. Terrific display in windy conditions and 4 outstanding goals from stalwarts Jordan and Benji 💚
Still one huge performance to go but absolutely outstanding effort and desire from everyone in green today, epitomising everything this Club is about. We’re back to Blue Flames for a County Cup Final date in April 💚
HUGE NEWS 📢as if yesterdays result wasn’t enough cause for celebration,we are delighted to learn of the safe arrival of beautiful baby boy Rafe Reardon who instantly becomes the most competent footballer in the Reardon family! Huge congratulations to
@amy_star
&
@Kyler88
💚🍼
Points shared in the end tonight which is 10 points in 4 games in 8 days. Tremendous effort from the lads who were skippered tonight by Lewis Robson in his 50th game for The Greens 💚
Another double centurion today as
@Miceyy_
made it 200 games for The Club. He marked the occasion with his first ever header and almost marked it with his first ever headed goal, only to see it hit the bar.
A vital player who must have megged every full back in the Alliance 💚
