Pathway
in Action

Tuesday’s Somerset FA Premier Cup tie against Larkhall Athletic ended in a 3–0 defeat, but the scoreline certainly doesn’t tell the whole story.

The game provided an opportunity for a number of the younger members of our squad to get some valuable minutes against Step 4 opposition, and they performed exceptionally well. For me, one of the most pleasing aspects of the evening was seeing the pathway we’ve worked hard to establish really playing out in front of us.

Our relationship with Brislington Juniors, together with our U18s and Reserves, is about providing a genuine route into First Team football. Seeing young players coming through that pathway and looking comfortable when given their opportunity is something we should all be incredibly proud of. Results matter, of course, but building something sustainable for the future matters too.

League Cup
Next Up

There’s very little time to wait until we’re back at Ironmould Lane. This Tuesday, 7:45pm, we welcome Bristol Telephones, from the First Division, in the Les Phillips League Cup.

There’s an added incentive in the competition this season, with the Western League announcing that the Les Phillips Cup Final will be staged at Yeovil Town’s Huish Park. It’s a fantastic venue for the showpiece final and gives every club entering the competition something special to aim for.

Match Sponsorship for Tuesday’s fixture is still available, so if you or your business would like to support the club and join us for the evening, please get in touch.

Before then, there are three league points to play for today. Thank you, as always, to our sponsors, volunteers and supporters for your continued backing.

Enjoy the game. Up the Foxes!
