WELCOME TO THE SETT FROM THE CHAIRMAN...

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.

MANAGERS NOTES Good evening and a warm welcome to The Sett.

Welcome to everyone involved with Rothwell Corinthians.

CALVIN GREEN

We're all looking forward to the first home game and with it being a tuesday under lights it feels even more special.

It's been a pre season of change, we've changed leagues, changes in our management group and alot of changes to playing squad. Ryan Seaman has stepped up to assistant manager alongside Dale Walton, and Phil Dale has joined as first team coach.

Ryan and Phil are fantastic coaches and have put on fantastic sessions for the lads during pre season.

We lost alot of players from last season, so it was important to replace them with not only good players but more importantly good people, I feel we have a fantastic group of lads.

We had arguably the hardest start we could have got playing Eaton socon away first league game, they've lost in the play off final two seasons in a row and look set for another season at the top of the table. We wasn't our best first half but 2nd half we was fantastic, we could have easily won towards the end but a draw was the fair result.

Thanks for your support as always: Up The Badgers!

OUR HISTORY

BUGBROOKE ST MICHAELS FC 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.

League

Spartan South Midlands Division 1

Rothwell Corinthians began to play competitive football in 1934 when they joined the Kettering and District Amateur League. The idea of the team was first put forward in a terrace house in Littlewood Street. At that time the league had three divisions and the Corinthians were placed in the Second Division. When football resumed after the second World War, the Corinthians were playing at the old recreation ground. This venue was their headquarters for the majority of the next twenty years. The Corinthians introduced their first reserve team into the league in 1950 and, nine years later, they brought the first senior league honours to the club when they became Champions of Division Three. The following season the first team won the First Division Championship and they repeated this feat in 1964. However, the following season they were relegated and by the end of the decade they found themselves in the Third Division. It was not until 1979 that they began to get themselves noticed again as they were promoted to the First Division and also managed to reach the N.F.A. Area Cup Final. The 1980-81 season marked the beginning of the emergence of the club as we know it today. With the move to Rothwell Town’s Cricket Ground came a more professional approach to the organisation of the club. Coinciding with this the League had re-styled itself as the East Midlands Alliance and lifted its standards, a move much appreciated by the Corinthians. In 1984 the Corinthians gained promotion to the Premier Division. Meanwhile, behind the scenes the club had purchased the land on which the present facilities are located. These facilities were officially opened by Northampton Town in 1986.Season 1989-90 saw the Corinthians lift their first Premier Division Championship. The season 1994-95 saw them secure their second Premier Championship, and after consultation with the United Counties league Management Committee, promotion was secured. Recent seasons has seen three appearances in the Northamptonshire Junior Cup Final with a win registered in 2008 Promotion to the United Counties Premier Division was achieved the same season under the management of Frank Ielapi assisted by Paul Smith. With Ielapi and Smith standing down after one season at the higher level Corinthians changed managers each of the following two seasons but struggled in their time at level 5. They still managed however to win the Youth League Cup and Reserve Supplementary Cup in 2009/10 but the First team dropped back down into Ucl Div1.Shaun Sparrow joined as manager rejuvenating the club with promotion back to the Premier Division in 2015 and more recently with Jim Scott as joint manager saw three mid table finishes. The Reserves have also had recent success with two UCL knockout Cup Finals in 2016 and 2017 , winning the first, and were losing finalists in the NFA lower Junior Cup in 2014. Our under 18’s losing finalists in the 2018 NSYFL league cup final. Mitch Austin took the reigns for the 2019/20 season and led the team to the 1st Qualifying round of the FA Cup and the UCL Knockout Cup Final before its curtailment. Upon the leagues resumption after the Covid-19 lockdown and under the stewardship of Wayne Abbott, the club finally played the delayed UCL knockout League Cup final and claimed the trophy for the first time in the clubs history with a 1-0 win over Holbeach United in November 2020. In 22/23 we dropped to step 6 and the Spartan South Midlands League Division One after our relegation from the United Counties League.
