CLUB HISTORY Sholing Youth
Sholing FC, known as "The Boatmen", traces its roots to 1884, originally as Thornycrofts (Woolston). They famously held First Division Burnley to a draw in the 1920 FA Cup First Round. After several reformations, the club re-emerged in 1960 as Vosper Thornycroft FC, enjoying league promotions and cup successes. Rebranded VTFC in 2003, they became dominant in the Southampton Senior Cup and reached the Southern League. In 2010, following the closure of the VT Group, the club adopted the Sholing name.
The pinnacle came in 2014, winning the FA Vase at Wembley. After fluctuating league fortunes, they earned promotion to Step 3 for the first time in 2022/23. In 2023/24, Dave Diaper ended a 25-year tenure, with Paul Doswell taking charge. Infrastructure improvements followed, including a new stand and clubhouse upgrades. From humble beginnings to national silverware, Sholing FC continues to grow both on and off the pitch.
