Manager's Notes Our game against Worthing United just didn't go how we wanted it to. We certainly create enough chances but we have to be better defensively and stay switched on for longer periods of the game. We need to put a performance together to kickstart our season again and give me team the lift they need so we can continue with our push to be in the top half of the table come end of the season. Seaford have strengthened since last year and has proved to always be a fixture we have struggled in since I took charge.
After having conversations with various players in the squad to clear the air we have found a solution for the group that should.help give them the confidence to go out there and really give Seaford a problem. The league is competitive this year and teams will drop more points but we need to start picking some up now to keep the pressure on the sides around us. Thank you all for your support this year and hope everyone enjoys their new year celebrations! DAVID BAKER MENS MANAGER

SEAFORD TOWN FC (HISTORY) Seaford Town FC joined the Sussex County League Division Two in 1952, and won promotion in 1963-64 after finishing as runners-up to Selsey. The next seven seasons were spent in the top division (finishing 4th in 1965-66) before being relegated back to Division Two in 1971. In 1978 the club dropped out of the County League, but returned as founder members of the new Third Division five years later. In 1985/86 they returned to senior football as champions, and in 1988-89 took the Division Two title. However, their return to Division One was to last just two seasons before they were relegated once more in 1990-91. Worse was to follow, and in 1992-93 Seaford found themselves back in intermediate football again. Things didn’t get any better, and Seaford dropped out of the County League altogether after being relegated in 1997. They spent two seasons in the East Sussex League before regaining their place in Division Three. Seaford FC dropped Town from its name in 1999, following a merger with Seaford Seagulls Youth FC. It was reinstated in 2005. Promotion back to Division Two was achieved in 2000-01, as runners-up to Rye & Iden United, with 6th place in 2004/05 their best finish since then. Prior to the 2005-06 season the Club’s name reverted back to Seaford Town, as did the colours from red and blue, to all red. The club finished in the top eight for the next three seasons, and their 6th place finish in 2006-07 bettered a similar finish in 2004/05 by one point. In April 2015 Seaford Town FC merged with Seaford WASPS Junior FC to create a strong footballing identity for the youth of Seaford. With younger players breaking into the senior teams Seaford is indeed a Community Club for the town. So moving forward. Whilst recognising the clubs 100 years plus history it is important to look ahead. Since 2015 and following several years of stability the club has moved forward both on and off the pitch. STFC is a club that has never been in a position to waste money but one that will improve the facilities at The Crouch as and when possible for the benefit of the club and community. Recent improvements have been the refurbishment of the clubhouse and the pitch side barriers. But it is behind the scenes where important changes have happened also. The club has tried to create an environment where everyone is welcome whether playing or watching. We have a strong senior playing squad including a first team, under 23 and under 18 sides. The youth section is running teams from age under 6 to 16 and we now have a Men’s Vets side, 2 Ladies teams and an all-inclusive team. These are all good things for the club. Behind all these things the clubs committee have tried to ensure that most importantly all involved enjoy their time at STFC. The club will continue to move forward and with the help of the local community, Seaford Town Council and our many sponsors the future looks exciting.
