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
DALE WALTON
Good evening and welcome to the Sett Tonight we welcome Wellingboro Whitworths who have made a decent start to the season and I’m sure we face a tough fixture I have to admit I’ve been impressed with the standard of the league so far in the games we have faced already I’m also pleased the game has come round quickly after the defeat at the weekend where we lost 1-0 away at Pitstone and Ivanhoe in the cup. I’m at a loss to why we were so poor on Saturday and the lads know that it simply unacceptable in the manner they performed so tonight is a chance to right some wrongs I am looking forward to pitches softening up soon too which I feel will help us,this dry spell and temperature is crazy considering it’s almost October Thanks for your continued support,apologies those that travelled Saturday too Hope they can send you home smiling tonight Best wishes Dale
FEMALE @THE SETT FOOTBALL We would like to welcome a few new faces to The Sett this season within our ladies squad and the return of some familiar faces too. Firstly we’d like to give a big welcome to Martyn Cain, Cainy who is our new manager this season. Cainy takes over from Stu White who is taking a well earned break from coaching having been manager of our ladies team for the last 6 seasons, although his dedication goes beyond this. Cainy comes to The Sett with a wealth of knowledge and is excited to get this season underway. Alex DeBoer, assistant coach last season is also taking a well earned break from coaching and has not long ago become Dad! Stepping in to Alex’s shoes is Bob Lane who spent the last few seasons with our extremely successful U18’s girls team, his knowledge will be extremely valuable this season. We would like to place on record our thanks to both Stu and Alex and are looking forward to catching them at a game soon, once a badger, always a badger! The girls started their campaign a couple of weeks ago where they headed to Yaxley FC to play Stanground Cardea Ladies in the preliminary round of the women’s fa cup. After 90 minutes the score was level at 1-1, unfortunately we were narrowly beaten in the dreaded penalty shoot out. It was a great game with the ladies almost scoring the winner just before the fulltime whistle was blown. We Would like to wish Stanground Cardea all the best for the rest of the season and thank them for their kind hospitalityafter the game. 13/9 saw the ladies league campaign start where they made the trip to Kingsthorpe Jets. 1-0 down at the break the ladies managed to pull it back to a 4-2 win with goals coming from Tara, Elle x2 and a special mention to Liv who scored her very first goal for the club! On to next weekend when we welcome NN United to The Sett. The game is due to be a 2pm KO, please come on down and cheer our ladies on. With thanks to our kit sponsor Castle Vehicle Servicing. Watch this space for exciting things to come for our female pathway.

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.
TODAY’S VISITORS WELLINGBOROUGH WHITWORTHS History The club was established in 1973 after London Ideal Clothiers folded.[1] At the time most Clothiers players were also playing for the Sunday league team Victoria Millers, and after discussing the idea with Dave Woodley, Whitworth FC was established.[1] The new club started in Division One of the Rushden and District League. After winning the Division in 1975–76 and 1976–77, they moved up to the East Midlands Alliance.[1] The club won the league's Munton Cup twice. On the second occasion, both the first team and the reserve teams reached the final, with the reserve team winning 6–2.[1] The following season reserve teams were banned from entering the cup.[1] After making several improvements to their ground,[1] the club moved up to Division One of the United Counties League in 1985.[2] Since then the club have remained in Division One, twice finishing as runners-up,[2] and winning the division without losing a match in 2006–07. In the summer of 2013, managers Steve Sargent and Matty Freeman were sacked and replaced by former Flourmen striker James Daldy and his assistant and former professional Tommy Jaszczun.[1] In the summer of 2013, Whitworth experienced a large turnover of players and eventually finished 17th in Division One in Daldy's first season. During the 2013–14 season Whitworth recorded their record high win, defeating Woodford United 16– 0 on 17 March 2014.[3] The goalscorers were Ross Patrick (2), Dan Bendon, Jonny Full Name Wellingborough Hazell, Matt Hibberd (3), Taylor Orosz (3), Mark Pryor (2) and Jamie White (3). A Whitworths FC UCL record that still stands. The Flourmen finished a respectable seventh in the 2014–15 season after Nickname(s) The Flour Men threatening promotion for a number of early months. In January 2014, Whitworth signed 46-year-old former England defender Neil Founded 1973 Ruddock.[4]Daldy departed early into the 2015–16 season and was replaced by his Ground The Victoria Mill Ground assistant, Tommy Jaszczun for the remainder of the season. In 2016 James Mallows was appointed manager replacing Jaszczun and The Flourmen were promoted from the United Counties League Division One in the 2016–17 season in Mallows' debut season. Capacity 2140 The club competed in the United Counties League Premier Division in the 2017–18 season for the first time in their existence and in their first-ever game beat Manager James Mallows Peterborough Northern Star F.C. 5–0 away from home.[5] The Flourmen survived their first season in the UCL Premier on goal difference League Spartan South Midlands after beating local rivals Wellingborough Town 3–1 on the final day of the season. Division 1 The 2018–19 season was tougher for them though as they slipped back into UCL Division One. In the summer of 2019, Simon Anderson was appointed the First Team Manager, during the season James Mallows returned to the club as First Team Manager. At the end of the 2020–21 season the club were transferred to Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League.
