MANGER’S & CAPTAIN’S WORDS AFC Burton Richard “Dicky” Davis R Team Manager

I am very proud to manage this group of lads to yet another cup final following an already successful league title campaign this season! Since the Bournemouth Saturday League’s sad demise 3 years ago, we have enjoyed the spirit and togetherness of playing in the R SWCFL and are very grateful to the committee for allowing us to join the league. This has been our most successful season to date, and we have the potential of winning an unprecedented 4 trophies, or as I like to call it “The Godruple”!

Dan Stone

Team Captain

R

What a great set of lads we have at this club all pulling together in the same direction under the direction of our gaffer Dicky! It’s been a fantastic season for the team and for me personally which I hope can be topped off by lifting the Faith Cup in our first attempt. On behalf of R the team, I would like to thank everyone involved with the club from our sponsors Straight Line Sales Group and Avon Electrical, to our loyal “Burton Ultras” who show up every week in all weather conditions to cheers us on.

CLUB HISTORY Riverside Family Church

Founded in 2016 by Nathan Betteridge and now coached by Ben Mathews, Riverside represents Riverside Family Church in Northam Road, Southampton. Riverside began their football journey in the SCFL Division 3, which they won at the first attempt with Jamie Evans collecting the golden boot. In 2021 Riverside won division 2, going undefeated in the league after a massive overhaul of players that summer captained

by the return of Jordan Beckett, who’s last game for Riverside is today before he leaves us for down under! Since being promoted to division 1 Riverside have been consistent runners up. Riverside have had a solid season as of yet, build on a solid defense keeping 6 clean sheets, wrapping up the Division 1 title for the first time with one game to go. Riverside are the first team to win all three divisions in the SCFL!

CLUB HISTORY Riverside Family Church Alongside league success, Riverside won the SCFL cup at AFC Totton in the 2022-23 season, led by our club captain of today, Tom Andrews. Our very own founder Nathan Betteridge got us off the mark before Daniel Whittington poked home a David Barker cross with a John Hartson like finish to give Riverside the victory. This year marks our second ever appearance in the faith cup, a much more successful run from our first attempt in our first ever season as a club, losing 4-1 to Sunnyhill in the first round. It has been great to re-engage with our friends in the Bournemouth league progressing past AFC Winton where our goalkeeper Stu Dumbleton produced some worldclass saves in a 2-1 win, before beating Sunnyhill 5-2 in the semifinal, Tom French with the pick of the goals.

FIND US ONLINE

This season, Riverside added to our history further by entering the National Christian Cup for the first time, making the trip Bromley, unfortunately losing 2-1, but a great experience and something we will be doing again! Riverside have also worked closely with Hampshire Charity, where we provided kit and players for their first ever game in the National Affinity Cup back in 2022 at Fareham Town FC. Since then, players from Riverside have continued to support Hampshire Charity helping raise money for some amazing causes, most recently here at Stoneham in the summer of 2024 raising money for the Epilepsy society following the sad passing of young Hampshire referee and a stalwart of the SCFL, Elijah Khaira.

MANAGER’S WORD Riverside Family Church Ben Mathews R Head Coach

Reaching this stage of this competition is a real credit to our club and our players. This is an opportunity for us to cap off another great season, following our recent league title and a chance to win the clubs first ever double.

As a management team we couldn’t be prouder of the way our players have bought in to our way of playing and the vision we’ve had for the season.

Today’s game is a fantastic opportunity for us to showcase the high level of football we can play but also show what can be done with the right group of players who have been completely committed since R August.

What we do well at Riverside is create an environment where every player can enjoy playing football, but also be a part of a team always competing for titles every season.

We’re excited to come up against AFC Burton for the first time in what we know will be a tightly contested game.

Whatever the result, our players will play a great game and end our season on a high!

CAPTAIN’S WORD Riverside Family Church Tom Andrews R Team Captain

Firstly, it’s fantastic to have a final with representation from both the SWCFL and the SCFL! Secondly, I’m always honoured to captain this club. We have a variety of experience in the team with some playing in their ninth season for the club and others their first. Whilst we always try to be the very best we can be on the pitch, I’m most proud of what the club has become off the pitch as a group of friends. I’ve played in three men’s football teams in my time but the culture at Riverside is what separates us apart.

R

For the first time in the club’s history, we have won the Division 1 league title but regardless of any silverware, I want to thank every player involved at the club for their effort and commitment this season. We are so lucky to have Dave, Nathan and Ben in our management team and to have such an able Vice Captain in Jordan Beckett who is playing his last game for the club toady. I wish AFC Burton the best of luck and hope more SCFL clubs are involved next season.

MANAGER’S WORD Basingstoke Town Andy Grainger R Team Manager

I am delighted that we have reached today’s Hampshire Cup Final.

Today marks the end of a fantastic season, finishing runners up in the league and JPL National Semi-finalists. The boys’ attitude, team spirit and application have been excellent all season and they truly deserve the success they’ve achieved so far.

Our performances in the cup have been very good, progressing through some tough early rounds and finishing with one of the seasons best performances in the Semi-final. Narrowly missing out on our first league title and JPL Nationals final were tough experiences for the boys; all part of their football and life education which will make them all stronger and more determined to go one step further in the future.

We go into today’s match with confidence but knowing that the final R will be a tough match against a very good RTB team. Best wishes to Luke and his team today.

Finally, I would like to thank all the parents for their support throughout the season; the parents who volunteer to run line; Karl for his support and dedication and lastly the players - it’s been a pleasure to coach you, witness your development and bond as a team. The memories and experiences from this season will stay with you.

Let’s give it one more push and bring the cup back to Basingstoke.

Up the Stoke!

CAPTAIN’S WORD Basingstoke Town Alfie S

Team Manager

R

What a Season! Our journey to the final has been unforgettable, with incredible team performances especially from the 4th round onwards.

No matter the challenge, I’ve always believed in this team’s ability to win.

Narrowly missing out on the JPL league title and Cup was tough, but the effort, determination, and spirit shown by everyone have set us up for this final.

This is my first Cup Final for Basingstoke. I can’t wait to step onto the pitch Saturday, shoulder to shoulder with my teammates, to fight for victory. Leading this team, representing the town I grew up in, and playing alongside such a brilliant group of lads has been an honour.

The banter, laughs, and camaraderie have been a huge part of our success.

R

Huge thanks to my teammates, to the parents and supporters (let’s hear you on matchday!), and to the club and coaches for their dedication in shaping us as players and a team.

We’ve earned this shot at the Hampshire Cup, let’s embrace it! If we give 100%, stay brave, and play our football with the same passion and teamwork we’ve shown all season, we’ll smash it.

Let’s bring home the cup!

Up the Stoke!

Another successful season for Locks Heath Vets reaching the final of the Hampshire Cup again, of which we are the current holders.

Reaching another three semi-finals of the Southampton cups, Supplementary cup and winning the Veterans A league.

R It’s been a great journey and season - I personally appreciate the efforts of all involved at Locks Heath FC, especially the players who have given me so much effort throughout the season to get to this point of success.

CLUB HISTORY Totton & Eling FC Vets

Totton & Eling Vets Football Club was founded by Leighton O’Hara, who previously managed Nursling Vets. Many players made the transition from Nursling to form the core of the new side. The club is fortunate to call Millers Park its home ground, thanks in large part to the support of Andy Tipp.

Off the pitch, the club is supported behind the scenes by Ryan Gomme, while on match days Leighton is ably assisted by Smitty, Shane, and George — the club’s number one fan. Special mention also goes to club legend David Tubbs for his enduring dedication.

Over the course of the season, the club has fielded more than 40 players, demonstrating both depth and commitment. The team concluded the league campaign in a commendable position and impressively reached three cup finals.

Totton & Elin Vets proudly acknowledges the support of their sponsor, Prime Plumbing and Heating. The club extends its heartfelt thanks to Lewis O’Hara, Director of Prime Plumbing and Heating, for his generous backing.
