U18s Match Report With U18’s Management Team Arlesey 2 Saints 3 What an away day this was!! We did not help ourselves in the 1st minute with some sloppy play which resulted in a corner, then 10 minutes in we conceded after a number of errors - to summarise we hadn’t switch our brains on yet. Then the boys got down to business, the defence turned into monsters, the midfield found their men and we grew into the game. I started to see the patterns of our football develop and then a strong run from fullback into the final 3rd won us a free kick with 1 minute left of the first half. A great bit of game knowledge from the coach realised they put a man on the post so we crowded the box and it paid off with the knock down dropping to Yosty who made no mistake and tucked it away nicely. Game on!! 2nd half started and this was a real battle from both sides, we looked comfortable with the back 4 being front footed and meeting everything as soon as it landed, the midfield found their shape much quicker then all of sudden a great cross found them 2 v 1 and we was behind again. Now this is where it could have gone one way or the other but the lads put their chest out, stood tall and stepped in to another level. Some tenacious play through midfield with a touch of beauty about our passing allowed Tristan to whip a great ball in, Yosti knocked it back to Agey who buried it 2-2! We battled on, not giving them any time to breathe, then a great ball into the channel by William allowed Agey to do what he does, chase it down and through sheer determination he won the ball and squared to Yosti 2-3!! From here the boys really dug deep with Arlesey throwing everything at us but every single lad out there stood tall and we saw the game out and travelled home with all 3 points! We turned up with only 12 players but each one of them rose to the occasion and had each other’s backs. We as coaches could not be prouder!! The u16s - Pierce and Harry, you know how I loved your game today, you gave it all for us and are two very good players.

Club History St Neots Town Football Club, nicknamed ‘The Saints’ - St Neots Town was formed in 1879, simply as ‘St Neots’. Operating as an amateur side in its early years, the club tasted its first major success by becoming the inaugural winners of the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup in the 1888-89 season. They dominated local cup competitions around the turn of the century while playing in the Biggleswade & District League.
The club went through a couple of early name changes, becoming St Neots & District in 1924, and joining the Bedfordshire & District League (later the South Midlands League), which they won in 1932- 33. They made their first foray into the United Counties League (UCL) in 1936 before the outbreak of World War II disrupted regional football. Post-War Eras and Name Changes (1950-1988) In 1949, the club became founder members of the Metropolitan League, winning a league and cup double in their very first season. They officially settled on the name St Neots Town F.C. in 1951. The late 1960s marked one of the most successful eras for the club:
•
FA Cup Run (1966-67): The Saints enjoyed their best-ever run in the FA Cup, reaching the First Round Proper, where they put up a valiant effort before falling 2-0 away to Walsall.
•
The Record Streak: By 1969, the club won the Huntingdonshire Senior Cup for a staggering 12th consecutive season, setting a historic record for senior cup wins in England.
•
League Double (1967-68): They rejoined the UCL and quickly claimed the Premier Division title and League Knockout Cup double.
However, the late 1980s brought severe hardship. In 1987, the owner of their long-term Shortsands Yard home sold the ground to developers. Forced to play on a borrowed works pitch and drowning in outstanding debt, the club was forced to completely disband in 1988. Reformation and Modern Era (1990-Present) The club’s absence from football lasted only two seasons. In 1990, local investors stepped in to reform St Neots Town FC. Starting from scratch in the Huntingdonshire Junior League and playing on communal council pitches at Priory Park, the team won four consecutive titles to earn readmission into the UCL senior divisions by 1994. The club climbed back up the non-league ladder, moving into their modern Rowley Park stadium in 2008. To signal their high ambitions, they even appointed former Northern Ireland internationals Steve Lomas and Michael Hughes to their management team in 2009, alongside former Fulham midfielder Sylvain Legwinski. This ambition paid off with a dominant 2010- 11 season, breaking multiple league records en-route to winning the UCL Premier Division and initiating a rise through the Southern League systems. Following their championship campaign in the United Counties League Premier Division South, The Saints continue their journey up the English football pyramid. Cameron Mawer was appointed First Team manager in May 2023 in first season suffered heartache in league play-off in UCL North Premier, to achieve promotion following season as champions, the progression back to step 4 & the Northern Premier League, Saints stay was short and were relegated back to UCL Premier South for upcoming season.
Club Kit Supplier
Story behind New kit The journey behind this season’s NEW kit started back early October when the club reached out to Sean Pankhurst Founder / Owner / Designer of Teamex Sportwear. From initial discussions Sean presented a number of kit concepts which showed strong links to our history and to the town which really impressed us. Hopefully you’ve seen the kit release on social media and massive thanks need to go to our First Team Sponsor Amplified—if you’ve seen it I hope you agree its brilliant.
The Home Kit is celebrating the 60 years on from the clubs best FA Cup run when the 1966 team reached the 1st round proper against Walsall FC –losing 2-0. A great achievement and it was fantastic to have Terry Reedman come down & support the filming of kit release and listen to his stories of that season and his time with St Neots Town FC. Also included in shirt design is map of TOWN.
The Away Kit a return to tradition away shirt colours & is celebrating St Neots Town unique connection between the CLUB and the TOWN—the shirt design includes a plan view of the 4 lanterns in St Neots market square. Also included in ALL the shirt designs is the ribbon from the St Neots sign.
The WARM UP shirt we hope will be a fan favourite, again link reference in the club crest to River Ouse Limited Number of shirt & sizes available via club shop hut & orders can be place via Teamex Sportswear use this link.

OPPONENTS SPOTLIGHT With John Walker Club President
KEMPSTON ROVERS RESERVES (the rovers) Year founded: 1884 Chairman: Steve Brookes Club Website: www.kempstonrovers.org
GOOD EVENING AND A WARM WELCOME TO KEMPSTON ROVERS FOR THIS RESERVE TEAMS MEETING We would first like to thank our opponents for agreeing to transfer this fixture to midweek with many of our players involved on Saturday in the Youth team County Cup fixture. As far as I can tell this is the first meeting of our two Reserve teams in recent years. In the past 16 seasons our Reserves have competed in no less than six different divisions or leagues as well as having no team for the past six seasons, so it is easy to see why our two teams have missed each other! Kempston Reserves first featured in the UCL in the 2020/21 – a season that was not completed because of COVID but in the last five seasons they have a pretty good record having finished in the top nine each season. Three seasons ago they were Reserve Division champions and runners-up the following season, so they have done well but last season they recorded their lowest finish at ninth of the fifteen member clubs.
This season they had mixed results winning one and drawing one of their four league matches as well as bowing out of the league cup at home – beaten by a single goal by Coalville Reserves. Last weekend they were at Moulton Reserves where they were beaten 7-3 in a very entertaining match. Their senior side for so long in the UCL now compete in the Premier Division of the Spartan South Midlands League.

Club Welfare With Club Welfare Officer Gemma Keech My name is Gemma Keech, and I am proud to be the Club Welfare Officer (CWO) at St Neots Town Football Club.
My role is to help create and maintain a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for everyone at the club. This includes overseeing safeguarding procedures, responding to any welfare concerns, and ensuring that all coaches and volunteers have current FA Criminal Record Checks (DBS) and up-to-date safeguarding training. The welfare of every child, young person, and adult at risk involved with the club is my priority. This covers players within our Development Teams, as well as Under-18 players who represent the First Team, Reserve Team, and Under-23s. I am the main point of contact for players, parents, carers, volunteers, and club members who have any safeguarding or welfare concerns relating to these groups. I was appointed to this voluntary position by St Neots Town Football Club due to my professional background in Education and Children’s Social Care, where I developed extensive knowledge and experience in safeguarding and child protection. I believe it is important to be approachable, supportive, and available to anyone who may need advice, guidance, or someone to talk to about a concern. If you have any worries or would simply like to discuss an issue—no matter how big or small— please don’t hesitate to contact me at sntfcwelfareofficer@gmail.com. Alternatively, you can contact the Hunts FA Safeguarding Team on 01480 447484 or by email at Safeguarding@HuntsFA.com.

Rowley Club Mascot— Follow on Last season was my very first as the official mascot of St Neots Town FC... and what a debut it was! I've been busy spreading smiles, cheering on the Saints and making plenty of memories. If you see me around the ground this season, don't be shy – come over and say hello!
Selfies? Absolutely! I'm always happy to pose for photos, hand out high-fives and celebrate with supporters of all ages. If you spot me around the ground, come and say hello—I promise I don't bite!
Leading Out the Future Stars One of my favourite jobs is leading our young matchday mascots onto the pitch alongside the first team. Seeing those huge smiles as they walk out in front of the crowd is something special. Get your youth team signed up this season for this great experience.
Racing for a Great Cause One of the biggest adventures of last season was competing in the Mascot Gold Cup at Wetherby Racecourse. I may not have brought home the trophy, but together we raised money for two fantastic children's charities—and that's a win in my book!
Out and About in the Community Football is about more than 90 minutes on a Saturday. I'm always looking for opportunities to visit local schools, community groups, charities and businesses to help spread the word about St Neots Town FC. If you'd like Rowley to pay you a visit, we'd love to hear from you! team signed up this season for this great experience. So, keep your eyes peeled for me around the ground this season! Come over for a high-five, a selfie or a chat - and if you're really lucky... I might even invite you onto the pitch at half-time to take a penalty against yours truly. Just don't expect me to make it easy!
