WELCOME TO FROM THE CHAIRMAN... FROM THE CHAIRMAN...
THE SETT
As Chairman of Bugbrooke St Michaels Football Club, I would like to offer you a warm welcome to The Sett and I hope that you have an enjoyable visit.
Here at Bugbrooke St Michaels we are working hard to develop a club with a strong inclusive ethos, offering opportunities for players of all ages and abilities.
We are extremely proud of our youth development programme, supporting players from seven all the way up to eighteen. Many of our young players go on to have success with one of our adult teams, with some players going on to even bigger and better things!
There is a great wealth of local support for the club, everyone that helps does so on a voluntary basis and through everyone’s hard work and dedication we have been able to achieve and maintain FA Accredited status.
Whilst some clubs choose to reinvest their revenue into players and wages, here at Bugbrooke we hold a different set of values. All of our profits go into upgrading our equipment and facilities, building a solid future-proof foundation that will be here for future generations to enjoy.
Whilst this can sometimes hold us back from gaining huge success on the pitch, we feel our excellent facilities, youth development programme and ethos on community sets us apart from other clubs.
Success and progression starts from the beginnings.
Thank you for your support today, we hope that you enjoy the game, and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
Kev
Kevin Gardner, Chairman
Bugbroooke St Michaels Football Club would like to place on record our thanks to our team of volunteers, our advertisers and sponsors.

##HERGAMETOO HERGAMETOO @ THE SETT
Bugbrooke U18 Girls were formed last year and were successful in their first season competing in Div 1 of the Bedfordshire FA Girls Football League. They finished 3rd and were the only team to beat Real Bedford – in their final league game of the season – as well as reaching the League Cup Final – losing to Real Bedford!
Despite losing 15 players at the end of last season, mostly due to players becoming too old, the squad is still 18 strong and has started the season impressively They have won all four of their matches so far, and currently sit top of Div 1 of the newly formed Northants Women’s & Girls Football League.
Coaches James Geddes and Bob Lane work closely with Ladies team coaches (Stuart White and Alex DeBoer) to ensure that the team also provides a pathway into Women’s football A number of players have made the step up over the last 12 months and the aim is to have more players joining the Ladies squad during the current season. The team is supported by Physio Kayleigh Brocklehurst who also plays for the Ladies team
New sponsors Halo Security and GA Photography have generously agreed to provide new kit, training tops and hoodies so the girls will soon look as impressive off the pitch as they do on it!
New players are always welcome regardless of their experience or ability especially as the team will lose another 9 players at the end of this season. For now though, the aim is to keep improving, stay top of the league and hopefully go one step further in one of the 3 Cup Competitions that the team are involved in!

NEWS! ##BADGER BADGER @ THE SETT
Huge shoutout to our U16 goalkeeper Patrick who this week has been sponsored for goalkeeper gloves by a company called Just 4 Keepers (J4K)
In exchange for wearing their gloves, Patrick has agreed to post on social media and show them in action!
Patrick also now has access to different resources to help improve his game and an online forum where he can watch videos on the different aspects of goalkeeping, gain the opinions and input from other keepers and get individual help and support from the business owner, Ray Newland.
Ray was a professional goalkeeper who played for, amongst other teams, Everton.
This is fantastic for Patrick, who at just 15 years old, has already made his debut for our U18’s this season which includes a debut in the FA Youth Cup! He is a valued part of the squad and the future is looking bright for our young Badger!
As part of the U16’s squad he is a well respected and an invaluable part of the team! Where would we be without our number 1!
Best of luck to Patrick and both the U16’s and U18’s squads this season!

CALVIN GREEN NOTES MANAGERS MANAGERS
Good evening and welcome back to The Sett for tonight's fixture!
A warm welcome to everyone involved at Daventry town.
Tonight feels like a really big game for both clubs, where both groups will be desperate not to lose. We still have 19 games left after this so no need to panic if the result doesn't go our way.
I have many friends in Daventry camp, including Former Bugbrooke manager Jamie Forrest, lads I've played a lot of games alongside, including former Bugbrooke players Jason Lee and Carter Price and George Mitchell-Gears, welcome back lads.
Last week's result against Newport was bitterly disappointing and that shows how far we've come in a short space of time. Newport are a very good side and I'm sure will be in and around the play offs again this season.
Special Mention to John Meadows, who moves onto title chasing Aylestone Park. Johns been brilliant on and off the pitch since I've been the manager, he will be a big loss but one I've expected for a while. Good luck mate.
Also moving on this week is player/coach Joel Powell Like John, Joel will be a big loss to the changing room, as he's a great lad, all the best mate.
Enjoy the game and get behind the lads! Up the badgers!
Formed in 1929, Bugbrooke St Michaels Football Club took over from Bugbrooke United who folded in 1928 after being in existence since 1910.
The club, which is named after the local St Michael’s and All Angels Church, initially took its place in the Northants Central Village League and had immense success, winning the league title from 1931 to 1937.
The club closed for the Second World War before reforming in 1947 and were once again successful, winning the CVL title from 1947 to 1950, and were Northants Lower Junior Cup runners-up in 1949, a feat repeated in 1954.
We finally won the N.F.A Lower Junior Cup in 1956 and followed this in 1957 by winning the prestigious Daventry Charity Cup.
The club had its most successful years from 1966 to 1972 when we won the Northants Central Combination Premier title and again from 1976 to 1979 with 1977 also seeing us win the N.F.A Lower Junior Cup again.
The club continued to succeed in the Northants Combination until 1987 when we took the decision to join the United Counties League.
At this time, we decided to run two teams in the U C L and two teams in the C N C We also began our youth section and have continued this ever since Today we run 4 adult sides, including a recently formed Ladies team as well as 15 youth teams.
The club has continued to enjoy success across all age groups over those 30 years, the most notable being N.F.A Junior Cup winners in 1992, N.F.A Lower Junior Cup in 1993, and U C L Division One winners in 2001
The reputation for producing successful youth teams has increased over those years and 4 of our youth players (under 16) have been signed by professional league clubs
The achievements of the club on the field have always been supported by a hardworking committee whose chief officers are recorded on a roll in the clubhouse flyer They, along with the supporters of the club, have built up the excellent changing room sand clubhouse since 1980.
We hope that you enjoy the facilities that they have provided over those years, and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
DAVENTRY TOWN FC TODAY’S VISITORS
Since forming in 1886 Daventry Town Football Club has had a chequered history over its 132 years, from a devastating fire in 2005 which threatened the club’s existence to an incredible cup run which saw over 700 fans travel to League 2 Chesterfield in 2014
Switching to the Northants Combination in 1987, under the guidance of Manager Willie Barrett, the clubs fortunes began to flourish, Barrett leading the club to successive championships in the Northants Combination First and Premier Divisions &in 1989/90 they secured promotion to the United Counties League Division One
Leaving the “Hollow” in the centre of the town in 1990 when the club moved to its current home at the Elderstubbs, the club’s fortunes suffered a devastating blow in 2005–06, when the Elderstubbs clubhouse and changing rooms were destroyed during an arson attack
With the club on the brink of going out of business, Iain Humphrey took the helm and work began to revitalise the club with the introduction of new floodlights, walkways and other infrastructure to support the clubs promotion ambitions
2007–08 was a very successful season for the Town. They won UCL Division One, losing just once, and defeated three Premier division teams en route to the League Knockout Cup final, where they lost to Desborough Town 3–2.
In the season 2009–10, Daventry won promotion to the Southern League Division One Central, by becoming champions of the United Counties League under the guidance of manager Ady Fuller. Daventry Town reached the last 16 of the FA vase, the final of the NFA Senior Cup, beaten by Corby Town by 3 – 2 and the semi – finals of the UCL KO cup before Captain Paul Saunders lifted the UCL championship to secure Daventry Town a coveted place in the Southern League for 2010/11
Under the guidance of Ady Fuller and assistant Paul Lamb, their first season in the Southern League almost ended with another promotion however they lost in the playoff final to Hitchin Town.
Former Aston Villa, Charlton and Republic of Ireland international Mark Kinsella became manager in the summer 2011 however his season long spell was unsuccessful and former Daventry United/Ford Sports Manager Darran Foster was appointed with Neil Champelovier as his assistant in 2012.
Daventry Town made history in 2013-2014 by reaching the First Round of the FA Cup, a visit toChesterfield'sProact Stadium their reward. They were eventually beaten by 2 – 0 in front of over 700 of their own travelling supporters and a crowd of over 5269 Town also reached the first round proper of the FA Trophy losing 1 0 to Maidenhead United.
Town reached the final of the Northamptonshire Senior Cup - Hillier Cup beating Cogenhoe United, managed byAndy Marks,3 - 0, Scott Cross (2) and Luke Keen scoring the goals
Town had been season-long favourites for promotion from the Southern LeagueDivision One Central in 2013 -2014 but the back log of fixtures caused by the cup runs took effect. They lost the promotion play-offs at the semi-final stage at Kettering Town, narrowly beaten 1-0
Darran Foster resigned as manager on 30th October 2014 following budget cuts and was replaced by former Watford, Oldham and Preston star, Allan Smart. Former Manager Ady Fuller was appointed as his Assistant Manager with the bulk of the players supplied by Smart’s London based Academy In the Summer of 2015, the club were moved to the Northern Premier League Division One South and with Smart and the players based in the South, he resigned in July 2015
In April 2016, Steve Tubb took over as Chairman and on the 12thMay 2016, the club appointed Arron Parkinson and Andy Marks as joint managers With a zero budget for the season, the team management have worked wonders in turning the club around and winning the UCL Division 1 title, unbeaten at home
Andy Marks left the club at the end of the season due to family and work commitments. Ian King joined Parkinson as Joint Manager in May 2017
Town finished the 2017/18 season in 10th position, winning the Buckingham Charity Cup for the first time
2018/19 saw the return of the Reserves managed by Andy Emery. Ian King left to join Northampton Town Academy. Arron Parkinson took over as Manager with goalkeeper Matt Finlay as his Assistant Manager and Pete Harris coming in a Club Coach respectively
After an excellent start to the 2018/19 league season and two FA Cup wins scoring 16 goals in the process, the Town went on to win the UCL Premier Division with a 1 1 draw at Pinchbeck United. The club were presented with the trophy on Easter Monday after a 3 0 win over local rivals and pre-season favourites Rugby Town in front of a crowd of 393. They also won the UCL Knock Out Cup by beating Holbeach United 3 1 in the final
In 2019–20, the club returned to the Southern League Division One Central., however, the Covid 19 Pandemic meant that they would not complete this or the 2020–21 season.
Sadly during this time, the Town lost three members of the Hobbs family in quick session.
President, Frank Hobbs died just two weeks after his wife Sarah. Frank's younger brother, Malcolm Hobbs died just three months later. Between them, they had covered just about every position within the club and had given almost 200 years of combined service to the Town.
In 2021–22, the club moved to the Northern Premier League Midlands Division. After a difficult start to the season, Jim Scott joined the coaching team and along with a number of new signings, Town ended the season in 16th place but 15 points clear of the relegation spots.
The club also started a third male adult team playing in the Northants Combination League Division 3. This team was named Daventry Town Hobbs after the sadly missed Hobbs family.
Off the pitch, the club announced that it had cleared all inherited debts since taking over in 2016 and that the club was now debt free
The 2022-23 season was challenging for Daventry. A slow start in the tough Northern Premier League led to the budget being cut and manager Arron Parkinson left after 6 seasons. Almost all the players left leaving a scratch side of reserves and youth team to unsuccessfully avoid relegation from the Northern Premier League.
Prior to the 2023-24 season Daren Young was unveiled as First Team Manager Following an inconsistent season and with only 2 wins in 2024, the club and Young mutually agreed to part company.
Jamie Forrest was appointed as First Team Manger prior to the 2024-25 season where the club would compete again in the UCL Premier Division South. They reached the 5th round of the FA Vase for the first time in 15 years but were knocked out on penalties after a 2-2 draw at Erith & Belvedere. They finished a respectable 8th in the league
The Hobbs won the Northants Combination League Division 3 Cup, were Area Cup finalist and won won the Division 3 title. For 2025/26, Dan Porter was appointed as Joint First Manager alongside Jamie. Mark Linnell took over the Reserves in the UCL Josh Pyott remained in control the NSYL u18s side whilst Matt Porter continued managing with the Northants Combination Hobbs side.
