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.

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.

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
COVENTRY UNITED FC TODAY’S VISITORS
WHOARETHEY?
Coventry United Football Club was formed in 2013 by 4 local businessmen, following the takeover of Coventry Spartans. The dream? To play football without politics and live for the enjoyment of the game. Spartan’s manager, Edwin Greaves stayed on as Coventry United’s first manager, along with club secretary, Graham Wood. The Red and Green had story began.
Our debut league match took place on Saturday 13 August 2013 with a 2-1 victory at Kenilworth Town in the Midland Football League Division 3. Kenroy Dennisur and Brian Ndlovu scored the goals that day. The desire for success was evident from the very first whistle, and success was not far away. United finished runners-up to Kenilworth, securing promotion at the very first attempt. th
Our first league title followed the next season. United dominated MFL Division 2, finishing a mammoth 15 points ahead of our closest rivals. Progression to Step 6 of the Non-League Pyramid followed. Season 3 would bring a fierce battle for the Division 1 title with the likes of Bromsgrove Sporting, Lichfield and Nuneaton Griff. In March 2016, Edwin Greaves left the club and was replaced by Terry Anderson, along with assistants, Luke Morton and Craig Jones. Under Terry’s stewardship United began a sensational run to win their final 11 matches, conceding just 3 goals along the way. Consequently, they beat their impressive competition to the title.
Following this flurry of promotions, Coventry settled into the MFL Premier Division continuing to grow on and off the pitch. Following stints at The Cage (Alan Higgs Centre) and Sphinx Drive, the summer of 2017 saw United move into their new home, the Butts Park Arena. In 2020, the club was bought from the original owners by a Coventry based businessman, Joe Haggarty. Terry Anderson and Luke Morton subsequently left the club.
After 5 seasons in the MFL Premier Division and finishing as Coventry’s highest ranked non-league club for 5 years in a row, the restructuring of the non-league pyramid saw Coventry United placed in the United Counties League Premier Division South.
In 2022, following the departure of Joe Haggarty, it took the intervention of supporter Nigel Ward to ensure the club survived. Subsequently, local businessman, John Goodman also invested in the club, and he brought Michael Kavanagh on board. Michael then became the Chairman and John Vice Chairman. Carl Nolan, Gary Hardwick and Craig Jones took over as the management and coaching team preseason. United finished 8 in their first season in the UCL. th
In the summer of 2023 United entered an U21 team in the MFL, establishing a player pathway to the first team.
Michael Kavanagh stepped down as Chairman in early 2024 due to work commitments. John Goodman became Chairman briefly and two new owners joined the board; Ray Nowack, who subsequently took over as Chair, and Hamad Al Saleman. After a short period under the stewardship of Jamie Hood, Ellis Alleyne took over the reins as 1 team manager and coach in August 2024. st
