NEXT HOME GAME
Saturday Nov 22nd KO 15:00 Hellenic Division 1
Mr Chairman
WELCOME
A very warm welcome back to Stratford Road for what promises to be an exciting few days of football for Alcester Town.
Today, we return to Hellenic League Division One action as we take on Brimscombe & Thrupp, and then on Tuesday evening, we’re back here under the lights for our Birmingham County Cup clash against Sutton United.
A special welcome as always to both sets of visitors, their players, management, and supporters we hope you enjoy your time with us and the hospitality that Alcester Town is proud to offer.
Last weekend saw us share a hard-fought 1–1 draw with Newent Town. It was a match full of intensity and commitment, with both sides giving everything for a point. Will Skelton continued his remarkable run of form, netting his eighth goal in as many games to secure the equaliser for the Romans. Sam Hart, Ash Bunn, and the defensive unit also produced a stand-out performance, showing the resilience and spirit we’ve come to expect from this group.
While some might see it as two points dropped, there were plenty of positives to take: energy, determination, and the ability to fight back when it mattered most. These are the qualities that will be key once again — both this afternoon against Brimscombe & Thrupp and on Tuesday night against Sutton United as we look to keep our momentum going in both league and cup competitions.
Our squad has shown real character this season, and with the continued backing of our fantastic supporters and volunteers, I’m confident we can keep building on that progress. Every cheer, clap, and word of encouragement from the sidelines makes a real difference — it’s brilliant to see Stratford Road buzzing and full of energy on matchdays.
Off the pitch, the club continues to grow and develop, and the progress we’re making at Stratford Road is something everyone connected with Alcester Town should be proud of. From volunteers and committee members to sponsors and supporters, your contribution is invaluable. Together, we’re building something special a club that represents our town with pride both on and off the field.
Let’s get behind the lads for both fixtures, enjoy the football, and hopefully celebrate two positive results together.

THE GAFFER
Good Afternoon all and welcome to Stratford Road
A very warm welcome back to Stratford Road as we look forward to an important few days of football, beginning with today’s Hellenic League Division One fixture against Brimscombe & Thrupp FC, and then turning our attention to Tuesday evening’s Birmingham County Cup tie at home to Sutton United – a special welcome to both sets of visitors, their management, players, and supporters.
Last weekend saw Alcester Town in action against Newent Town in what turned out to be a hard-fought 1–1 draw. It was a game full of intensity, near misses, and strong defensive work from both sides. Will Skelton continued his incredible form with a brilliant equaliser, keeping his scoring run going, while our backline, led by Ash Bunn, Drew Ricketts, and Aaron Xavier, demonstrated the grit and determination that have become hallmarks of this team. The lads showed plenty of character, and while we would have liked to take all three points, there were plenty of positives to build on as we move forward.
This weekend presents another exciting challenge against Brimscombe & Thrupp a competitive side with quality across the pitch. We’ll need to be at our best to secure a result. We’ve spoken a lot in training about consistency, concentration, and working for each other in both attack and defence qualities that will again be crucial, not only today but also as we head into Tuesday night’s cup fixture against Sutton United, where we’ll be looking to continue our progress in the competition.
I’m really encouraged by the belief growing within the squad at the moment. The team spirit, work ethic, and commitment on the training ground are translating into performances on matchdays, and the support from those at games continues to be outstanding.
Let’s keep that momentum going, support the lads throughout both fixtures, and aim for strong performances across the board. With focus, energy, and the backing of our fantastic supporters, I’m confident we can make these next two home games ones to remember.
Enjoy the game, and as always – up The Romans!
CLUB HISTORY
The History of Alcester Town Football Club has its roots in the Town's History and its Schools. Alcester Old Boys Football Club was formed after the First World War by pupils of Alcester Grammar School.
Shortly after this, in 1927, the Club became Alcester Juniors and joined the Stratford League becoming Champions of the first Division in their first season. The team played on a pitch by the Spittle Brook and later at the bottom of Bleachfield Street by the river, on what was known locally as the 'Soccer Beds.'
Sometime later in the 1950's the Club became Alcester Town Football Club, sharing their Stratford Road Ground with a Sunday side - 'The Black Horse'. They won a number of Cups, with their finest result being the 1-0 defeat of Alvechurch in the Birmingham Cup.
Alcester Town's most successful years came at the tail end of the 80's and the start of the 90's. In 1989/90 Alcester finished runner-up in the Midland Combination Division Two, this meant promotion to Midland Combination Division One.
The following season, 1990/91, Alcester went on to finish champions of the Midland Combination Division One and secured a place in the Midland Combination Premier for the very first time in Alcester Town's history. Alcester managed two seasons in the Midlands Leagues top division, in the first year finishing a respectable 13th from 21 sides competing. Second season Alcester finished rock bottom of a league hosting twenty sides.
Unfortunately the success of Alcester Town led to its downfall. Despite attempts to move to a new ground the Club were not able to improve their Stratford Road facilities. They needed to build a new covered stand to house 200 people to remain in the Midland Combination and so in 1993, due to lack of funds for the improvements the Club folded. However, one bright moment for Alcester Town was the success of Paul West who was transferred to Port Vale Football Club for £8,000 in January 1991. As part of the deal, Alcester Town hosted Port Vale Football Club in a friendly ahead of the 1991/92 season. Alcester were captained by Colin Saunders, whilst Port Vale had Neil Aspin, Martin Foyle and Trevor Wood in their squad to name just a few.
Was it just a coincidence that at the same time that Alcester Town was disbanded, Alcester Athletic competed successfully in the Mid Warwickshire, Central Warwickshire, Evesham Ambassador and Mercian Junior Festival Leagues and created sides form Under 6's to Under 16's. In September 2007, Alcester Town formed a new adult side playing in the Stratford Alliance - Cutler Division. In their 1st season they finished 4th in the league and got to their 1st Cup Final. So Football is well and truly back on the map in Alcester. In June 2008, Alcester Town merged with Alcester 2000 to create one of the largest youth organisations in the area. With twenty teams from under 6's to Adults and Veterans and girls and boys teams and over 200 members. The club have won several trophies over the last twelve years, including league championships, many Cup successes together with league sportsmanship awards.
The 2012/13 season saw Alcester Town once again join the Midland Combination Leagues, finishing 5th in the Midland Combination Division Two. The 2014/15 season saw a restructure of the Midlands League's and the then Midland Combination Division Two changed to Division Three. Despite leading the race for the title for much of the season, a late collapse saw Alcester finish 3rd.
Promotion to the Midland Football League Division to 2 was finally secured in 2019 and the team remained in the MFL until 2024-25 season where a sideways move to the Hereford Premier League was made. The team went unbeaten in the league throughout the 24-25 season earning promotion to Step 6.
Club History
Brimscombe FC
THE VISITORS
Brimscombe Football Club was established in 1886.
They were founding members of the Mid-Gloucestershire League in 1894 and played their first ever game on the 29th September but switched to the Stroud & District League in 1902 and were the inaugural Champions.
They were yet to win another title until 1906/07 finishing 2nd in 1903/04, 1904/05 and 1905/06 but won the League again in the 1907/08 season.
It was a while before Brimscombe were to see another title but won their fourth in 1912/13.
World War 1 was a paramount moment in History and Brimscombe FC took their place in the North Gloucestershire League after the Great War was over.
They finished as runners-up in the 1919/20 season. Brimscombe were founding members of yet another League, the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League in 1922, and were the first club to win the title.
Thing’s didn’t quite go to plan when they finished second from bottom in the 1929/30 season but improved the season after resulting in yet another League title.
Football took a hiatus during the Second World War for Brimscombe but came back as runners-up in 1946/47 but were Champions yet again in 47/48. The club switched Leagues in 1968 joining the Gloucestershire County League but finished bottom in their first season.
The side dropped out of the League shortly after the 1972-73 season after finishing bottom yet again.
Brimscombe and Thrupp FC
Shortly after dropping out of the Gloucestershire
County League, Brimscombe FC merged with another local side Thrupp to form Brimscombe & Thrupp FC.
The newly formed side joined the County League again but dropped out once again in 1988-89 after finishing bottom.
The club returned to the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League and finished as Division 1 runners-up in the 2008/09 season and moved back up to the County League. They had better luck this time and won the Division in the 2010/11 season where they were promoted to the Hellenic League Division 1 West.
It took 2 seasons for the club to earn promotion to the Premier Division of the Hellenic. In the season of 2013/14 they won both the Floodlit Cup and the Supplementary Cup.
Their most recent part of Silverware came in 2018 when the Lilywhites beat Bitton 3-1 to win the Gloucestershire Challenge Trophy.
The club has remained in the Hellenic league since 2010, now playing in Division One.

JUNIOR ROUNDUP
Alcester Town FC – Junior Team Update
As the colder months set in, the weather has certainly tested the commitment of our junior players, coaches, and parents.
Training nights have been challenging with rain, wind, and darker evenings, but the enthusiasm and dedication across all age groups at Alcester Town FC remain as strong as ever.
Despite the conditions, our teams continue to perform brilliantly each weekend, showing great teamwork, effort, and improvement.
Some of our junior sides are also involved in plate games this weekend, providing another fantastic opportunity to put their training into practice and compete with pride.
It’s also been fantastic to see our U6 and U7 development sessions continuing to grow, with more young players joining every week. The energy, enthusiasm, and early talent on display promise a bright future for Alcester Town FC, with some fantastic young footballers clearly coming through the ranks.
Last weekend, all our teams observed a minute’s silence with great respect and composure - a proud moment for the club that reflected the values we promote both on and off the pitch.
This weekend also marks the FA Silent Weekend, encouraging everyone to focus on positive support and allow our young players to find their own voices during matches. It’s another reminder of what makes grassroots football so special.
A huge thank you goes to all our volunteer coaches and supportive parents who make it possible for every session and match to go ahead, whatever the weather. The commitment and positivity across our junior section are a real credit to the club.

IN FOCUS
Under-11 Juniors
It’s been a remarkable year for our Under-11 Juniors - a season full of hard work, steady growth, and performances that have genuinely turned heads.
Their efforts have been rewarded with a well-deserved place in the Cup Semi-Final on 17 January 2026, building perfectly on last season’s achievement when they proudly lifted the Plate Competition trophy. This group clearly isn’t interested in standing still.
Stepping up to 9v9 football for the first time can be a big leap, but you wouldn’t know it from watching them. The boys have adjusted with real maturity, showing strong teamwork, improving their understanding of the game, and embracing the challenge with enthusiasm. Week after week, they’ve shown resilience, discipline, and that unmistakable love for football that keeps a squad moving in the right direction. Every player has taken noticeable strides - not just in technical ability, but in confidence, attitude, and their approach to supporting one another on and off the pitch.
A special highlight this season has been seeing five players progress into the Elite Training Programme (ETP). It’s a fantastic achievement and a testament to the quality within this group.
Training alongside first-team players and club coaches is giving them invaluable experiencesharpening their technique, boosting their game awareness, and giving them a glimpse of the standards required as they climb the youth pathway.
They’re thriving, and the lessons they’re learning will ripple positively through the whole squad.
This season has offered no shortage of memorable moments: well-worked goals, brave defending, last-ditch tackles, and plenty of smiles from players and parents alike. But perhaps most importantly, it’s the team spiritthat togetherness in every training session and every matchday - that’s made the biggest impression. They win as a group, they learn as a group, and they continue to grow as a group.
With this attitude, talent, and hunger to improve, the future looks incredibly bright for our Under-11 Juniors.
Well done, boys - keep pushing on and enjoying every minute of the journey!

Despite a flurry of action and a few near-misses, both sides had to settle for a point, finishing 1-1.
From the first whistle, Newent Town looked eager to make an early impact. A corner in the opening minute was cleared off the line by Alcester’s defence, and the visitors continued to test the home side with a series of early attacks. Alcester responded with composure, with George Davis delivering a dangerous cross in the fifth minute that just sailed over the bar.
The first half was a tense affair, with both sides committed to stopping any clear-cut chances. Alcester captain Jake Wicketts marshalled the midfield effectively, while Sam Hart in goal kept the Romans in the game with a series of important saves. Newent’s Dylan Hart came close on multiple occasions, including a fierce shot from 30 yards that Hart comfortably gathered, and a low strike from Reece Wagstaff that was well blocked by the alert Ash Bunn.
Alcester also had opportunities to take the lead before the break. A slick move involving Aaron Xavier and Will Skelton allowed Davis to fire over from a promising position, and a long ball to Jack Cole saw him denied one-on-one by Newent keeper Leyton Joyce. Despite the flurry of activity, the teams went into the break level.
Half Time: Alcester
Alcester came close when Skelton struck the post following a knockdown from Roberts, and a header from Skelton following a Cole cross just lacked the precision to hit the target. Newent’s Taylor finally broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute, firing home a rebound after an initial save from Sam Hart.
Alcester responded determinedly, and their persistence paid off in the 70th minute. Skelton, in sensational form, drove into the box, shifted onto his left foot, and slotted the ball into the bottom corner to equalise, his eighth goal in as many games, much to the delight of the home supporters.
The remainder of the match saw both teams battling hard for a winner, with heroics from Ash Bunn and key interventions from the Alcester backline ensuring the game ended 1-1.
It was a scrappy second half, but both sides can take positives from a point gained and a display of grit and determination. Alcester Town will look to build on this as they continue their Hellenic League campaign.
Full Time: Alcester Town 1-1 Newent Town
Club History
THE VISITORS
Sutton United Football Club was founded in 1947 by three young men recently demobbed from the RAF. Frank White, Ken Smith and Bill Walker. After returning home at the end of the conflict of World War II they asked Squadron 495 to form an amateur football club, this was agreed and Sutton United was born – using a small monetary gift from the ATC- with Frank as Chairman, Ken as Treasurer and Bill as Secretary. The team started out playing in a field on Cows Lane, Wylde Green, using the trees to change under and a nearby stream to wash in. Green shirts became the team’s colours after they were donated by the ATC along with a blue goalkeepers jersey. After a couple of years, with the help of cash from subscriptions and popular social events, the club purchased a wooden shed to use as a changing room. The only kit supplied was the shirt that players kept and washed themselves. This resulted in teams having players in various shades of green depending on how long they had been with the club. Socks and shorts had to be purchased by the individual player and teams invariably sported a mixture of styles of green and white.
Eventually a pitch was found on land belonging to James Booth in Penns Lane which had changing rooms in an old railway truck, but still no running water. This was used for 2-3 years until Sutton Town Council provided the club with a pitch at Rectory Park. By this time Frank White was the only one of the original three founders left – but Sutton United now had two teams and was growing stronger.Initially games at Rectory Park involved changing in a scout hut in nearby Broomie Close, but then the Council built a very small and basic changing room block for the four pitches in the park; but still without showers or washing facilities – just one metal sink to be shared by everyone with only cold water.Sutton United A team was in Division 2, the B team in combined Division 3 and the C team,formed in 1964, played at Walmley. In 1964 the Annual Membership was 5 shillings (25p) and match subs 2 shillings (10p). There was a steep rise in 1966 when Annual Membership actually doubled.
During the late 1960’s club members installed a single electric shower in the dressing rooms. This was part of an effort to secure promotion to Division 1. Perhaps one of the abiding memories of this period is the socialising after the game on Saturday. This often involved players catching a bus home (often unwashed and mud covered). Meeting their girlfriends or wives and rushing to the cinema to try and get in before it closed.The 1970’s was a decade of change for Sutton United. The teams had been strengthened by excellent players joining from rivals Sutton British Legion FC. But it was not until 1974 that the club finally achieved promotion to the Premier Division – having missed out previously because of inadequate facilities in Rectory Park.The first major success came with the Senior Cup in 1974/75 when Sutton beat the mighty Old Wulfs 4-3 after extra time. The second team were promoted to Division 2 in 1976/77 after winning Division 3 (scoring 105 goals in 24 games). In 1976 a fourth team was found to play in Division 6 and the first Veterans team was formed to play friendly games.Due to inadequate facilities in Rectory Park, a determined effort was made to find new grounds.
Sutton Rugby Club were looking to improve their facilities and moved to Walmley Road, an agreement was reached in 1977 to sell United Hollyfield Rd for £5000. Quick renovations to make it habitable resulted in a comfortable clubhouse and bar. The majority of this work was carried out by members and friends.The start of the 1980’s saw all of the good work of the club come to fruition as Sutton United landed its first Premier League title in the 1982/83 season. Two more Premier League titles were to follow along with four more league championships and fourteen cup wins establishing Sutton United as the club to beat.At one memorable AFA dinner in the 1980’s, a total of 63 club members attended and carried off almost half the trophies on offer. In 1989 Frank White stepped down as chairman after 42 years of sterling service and Rob Mansell took the reins.
The nineties were a quiet decade with regard to the championships although the first team finished runners up on seven separate occasions – but it was a great cup-winning period. The trophy cabinet was kept busy as the club landed two Senior Cups, the Junior Cup, two Minor Cups,five Holder Cups, the Youth Cup and a Veterans Cup. Sutton United were also the first AFA team to reach the finals of the Birmingham County Junior Cup – but unfortunately lost 3-1 to Triumph Athletic in the final. Another momentous development for the club occurred in the mid 90’s when Sutton United Juniors were founded. In the five years to the end of the decade rapid growth saw the Juniors fielding ten teams. Off the field, money was raised to build changing room extensions, a garage and new showers. The club also managed to buy a 125 year lease for the Paddock.
In 1997 Rob Mansell stepped down as Chairman and Steve Hughes became the third individual to take the demanding role. The new century saw progress continue apace. The clubhouse benefited from a substantial renovation programme thanks to massive fundraising effort while the pitches saw improved drainage and surfaces. The car park was resurfaced and a new patio built. The club also introduced a new policy for all teams to wear the same kit design – so that everyone from the Under 6’s to the First Team played in the same strip.Following successful club tours in the 1990’s to Dusseldorf the new century saw trips to Holland and Germany where new friends were made. The First Team won the Premier League title in 2006/07 after a gap of 23 years and also landed the HS shield. The Second Team enjoyed a successful period winning four cups including the Bill Hill Cup three years in a row. The Third Team won the Minor Cup three times while the Fourth and Fifth teams won the Holder Cup four times in six years. The youth team won the AFA Youth Cup twice. The club’s Junior Teams also covered themselves in glory winning multiple league titles and cups.In 2007 Sutton United and Sutton United Juniors became one, while Steve Hughes retired as Chairman and Mike Long became the fourth man to hold the role. Sutton United sadly lost their founder and Life President Frank White in 2008.
John Potter, a long established and respected member, was given the honor of becoming our new Life President,as well as being bestowed the honor of becoming a Life Member. Another much respected and established club member Brian Dunn became a Life Member, having joined Sutton United in 1952. In
2009 Sutton Girls Football club, founded in 2002, merged with Sutton United. The four teams in the Central Warwickshire League boosted the club’s total number of sides to 24 as membership pushed past 350. In 2009 more than £120,000 was raised to finance the development of the clubhouse and changing rooms. The work was undertaken during the summer of 2010 with everything completed before the start of the season and the new clubhouse was named in memory of Frank White. Having been crowned Premier League champions for three consecutive years United decided to enter their First team into the Midland Football league in 2013. After five top 10 finishes, the end of seasons 2016/2017 saw a loss of several key players and the club took the decision to begin our rebuild back in the Birmingham AFA which had been re-named the Birmingham Football league. Mike Long stood down in 2017 and our current Chairman Pete Lugg became Sutton United’s fifth person to run which is now a very big ship.
In 2016, Sutton United acquired a playing facility at Coleshill Road, less than half a mile from the original Hollyfield Road facility. Having used it for 4 years, the plans for the 3G playing facility with stands & floodlights were submitted. In 2020, the council gave SUFC the green light. Current club chairman, Pete Lugg invested circa £1.1 million pounds into the club to fund the development. This was completed in October 2022 and is now the present and future of the club. With this state of the art facility, the possibilities are most definitely endless as club continues to grow.
We are currently a Charter standard club consisting of roughly 50 teams, with our home at Coleshill Road. The history of Sutton United is a story of commitment, endeavour, enterprise and above all hard work. New chapters will be written but these traditional values remain at the heart of a thriving club where members old and new continue to make vital contribution to its future.
