Good evening everyone, Tonight, we offer a warm welcome to the players, officials & supporters of visitors Tytherington Rocks Football Club as well as our match officials too. We hope that they all enjoy their brief stay in the village and have a safe journey home too!

Well, our season couldn’t have kicked off any better on Saturday with a resounding 5-0 victory at Gillingham Town. Four different scorers and a clean sheet is a great start but nothing’s won in August. Tonight, Rocks will be up for this having almost taken something from their tough trip to Boco on Saturday so we should have a decent game to watch.

Don’t forget that we are home again this Saturday to Hengrove Athletic, kick off at 3pm.

Thanks for your support & enjoy the game!

Bishop Sutton Club History

The club was re-formed in 1977 with just an U15 team playing in the Weston-superMare Sunday League and then progressing in successive seasons to the Bristol and Avon League U16s and the second and first divisions before being admitted into the Somerset Senior League for the 1981-82 season.

The next ten years were spent climbing through the four divisions before being voted into the Western League for season 1991-92. The First Division was won in 1997-98 and then followed seventeen successive seasons in the Premier Division, the highlight being winning the Premier title in 2012-13.

Unfortunately our ground grading did not permit progression to the Southern League and all the team management and players then left the club. Relegation from the Premier followed at the end of season 2014-15 and we have experienced mixed fortunes in the First Division since then.

For the season 2020-21 Jon Toy came in as manager but unfortunately we were only able to play 10 games before the season was curtailed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Having retained a lot of last season’s squad and added a couple of new players, we finished in mid table in season 2021/22.

A big thank you....

... to all our sponsors....

... from Bishop Sutton F.C.

TYTHERINGTON ROCKS

Tytherington Football Club was formed in 1896 by local Headmaster, Mr Emanuel & others including the Rev John Bingley. Rev. Bingley stipulated that, to gain his support, the club should play in amber and black, his old college colours at Brasenose, in Oxford.

The club played in the Wotton-Under-Edge League and travelled to away matches by waggonette, a four-wheeled horse drawn cart, with seats along both sides. The club played at many different grounds in the early days, including Mill-Leaze Fields behind the village shop. They eventually found a permanent home at the Hardwicke Playing Fields. The club used the Swan Inn as their changing rooms until a new pavilion was erected by the Parish Council, on the playing fields in 1938.

In the 1920s the club was suspended by the Gloucestershire Football Association for non-payment of a fine. The fine followed a referee being jostled into an adjoining brook after what the home side felt were some dubious decisions! No pay - no play, so Tytherington disbanded until 1932 when Tytherington Rocks FC was formed, joining the Bristol & Suburban League. War disrupted the local leagues and Rocks re-joined Division 1 in 1947. The same year a youth team called the Pebbles was formed and played in the Gloucestershire Junior Boys' League.

The 1960s were spent between Division 3 and Division 5. Facilities were upgraded in 1979-80, with new showers and toilet block together with electricity! The Reserves reformed in Division 7 and the first team reached Division 1 for the 1987-88 season. 1987-88 saw the formation of the third team joining Division 7 and at the same time Streamside Juniors were adopted as Tytherington Rocks Juniors. A floodlit training pitch was opened in 1988. Rocks entered Premier Division 2 and by 1993 arrived in Premier Division 1.

Ground improvements continued with dugouts and perimeter fencing. As Champions of the Bristol & Suburban Premier League in 1997, it was shock and disappointment when an application to the Gloucestershire County League was rejected. Following rejection, a new bar, separate changing facilities, referees room and a spectator stand raised the profile of the club and, in 1998, the County League application was successful.

The team survived a difficult first season but, during the next four years, enjoyed top half finishes and were GFA Challenge Trophy Finalists, League Cup Finalists and, in 2004, were County League Runners-up. Hellenic League football and Hellenic League status Division 1 [West] arrived in 200405. Season 2011-12 was to prove to be the first of three outstanding years for Tytherington Rocks.

Focus on....

TYTHERINGTON ROCKS

The 1st team finished 18 points clear to win the Uhlsport Hellenic League Division 1 [West] title, followed by a 3rd place and then champions again in 2014, this time by 5 points. Following this success, a transfer request to move to the Toolstation Western League was rejected by the FA. This refusal had a devastating effect on the club with players and team management of both 1st team and Reserve teams leaving in their numbers.

History will record that several managers and committee members worked tirelessly to ensure the survival of the club during the following four seasons. The 2018/2019 season ended with all three teams (U18, Reserves and 1st team) all completing their programmes, although they all finished in the penultimate positions in their respective League divisions. Between August 2019 and now, Rocks have experienced major changes both on and off the fields.

Reserve sides have folded mid-season, an U18 team had run its course and a Ladies team arrived and left. Numerous committee, management, and playing staff departures and arrivals took place during the two seasons destroyed by the Coronavirus. One welcome achievement did however materialise. Rocks won the Beaufort Cup, an end of season competition run by the Bristol Premier Sunday League.

Last year saw the club admitted into the Toolstation Western League, a new team management, led by Jake Edwards prepared the team thoroughly resulting in a credible 13th place finish.

A big thank you to the sponsors of our reserve & under 18 teams...

With the reserves....
