The following have significant interests in the shareholdings of the company: Richard Tims (7.91%), James Healey (6.13%) and Jeremy Levine (50.7%).

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation is a charity set up in memory of Daniel Wilkinson who died in 2016 aged 24, while playing the game he loved, from an underlying heart condition called Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

Dan played football from an early age and joined Hull City AFC when he was 10, earning a professional contract aged 18. Loughborough University followed where he completed a degree in Accounting and Financial Management while playing non-league football. He was an athlete who enjoyed the gym and took his health and nutrition very seriously. He lived life to the full and had so much ahead of him.

Other than feeling light-headed on a few occasions in the month before he died, he had no symptoms!

SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH IN THE YOUNG (SCD)

SCD is the leading cause of death in young athletes during sport and the majority of deaths occur with NO SYMPTOMS or family history.

ARVC can be found in one in every 1,000 to 5,000 young adults - IF IT IS LOOKED FOR.

Warning signs may include light-headedness, fainting, palpitations, swollen legs, breathlessness.

Every week in the UK, 12 apparently fit and healthy young people (aged 35 and under) die from previously undiagnosed heart conditions.

In Italy, where screening is mandatory for all young people engaged in organised sport, they have reduced the incidence of young sudden cardiac death by 89%.

OUR MISSION

The Daniel Wilkinson Foundation has been set up to raise awareness of SCD and to provide funding towards heart screening, defibrillators and CPR/defibrillator training primarily for grass-roots sporting teams.

Tragedies can be prevented through cardiac screening. It is vital that young people are identified and treated.

Words from the Gaffer

Tonight’s game against Bradford Park Avenue is going to be a tough challenge, and we are fully aware of the quality they bring to the pitch. They’ve been in excellent form recently and are pushing for a spot in the playoffs, so we know we’ll have to be at our best. Bradford has some strong players and a solid defensive unit, so we’ll need to be patient and take our chances when they come. It’s always a difficult place to go, but we’ve prepared well and we’re ready to put on a good performance.

I’m delighted with our 2-0 win against Bishop Auckland last Saturday. It was a crucial result for us, and the team showed great character to secure the three points. We were clinical in front of goal, and defensively, we looked solid, which is exactly what we need heading into tonight’s game. It’s important that we build on that performance and carry that momentum forward. Consistency is key at this stage of the season, and we know we need to keep this run going if we’re to stay in the mix at the top.

We’ve got a good squad, and everyone is fully focused on continuing to improve. It’s vital we build momentum now and push forward into the latter stages of the season. Every point counts, and we can’t afford to let up. Bradford Park Avenue will be a real test, but if we maintain the standards we’ve set in recent weeks, I’m confident we can come away with a positive result.

I’d also like to take a moment to thank our incredible fans. Your support has been unwavering, and it’s been a real boost to the players and the staff. We are all in this together, and we know how much the fans mean to this club. The atmosphere you create is something special, and we’ll continue to give everything for you.

History of The World’s First

Early Football.

Versions of football evolved in many early civilisations, example of these can be found in ancient China, Greece and Rome. In England the original games were played between villages in fields and streets. This ‘Mob Football’ involved hundreds of players and was little more than prolonged and violent street battles.

In the 19th century a more refined version of the game grew in popularity within the public schools and universities, each playing to their own sets of rules.

The Birth of Sheffield Foot Ball Club.

During the 1850s the enthusiasm and influence of ex-public school and university students spread the popularity of the game around Sheffield. In the summer of 1857 William Prest and Nathaniel Creswick agreed that the game would be a splendid candidate for organised sport during the winter months. The pair wrote

to the Public Schools for information, regarding their varying rules, with the aim of drawing up a set of laws embodying the best points from each. On October 24th, 1857, the world’s first football club was born in a greenhouse. Among the first rules drawn up were laws asserting that “no hacking or tripping up is fair under any circumstances”, “no player may be held or pulled over” and “it is not lawful to take the ball off the ground [using hands]”. Upon the formation of the Football Association in 1863, Sheffield Club’s insistence on these laws helped lead the evolution of the game we recognise globally today. Heading, crossbars, corner kicks, free-kicks for fouls, throw-ins, a half-time change of ends and floodlit matches can all be traced to the innovators of Sheffield F.C.

Early Years

Initially early matches, such as Married men v Unmarried, were played between club members. Records also show games against local army sides. Following victory over the 58th

Army Regiment in 1860 a local report stated that, “most of the officers were adepts at the game, having, in their younger days, played in the public school matches, and the victory of the civilians was quite unexpected.” Following the birth of Hallam F.C., the world’s first inter-club game took place on Boxing Day in 1860. The match “was conducted with good temper and in a friendly spirit”, concluding in a 2-0 win for Sheffield. For several years all matches were played locally, against a rising number of new sides, before the first ‘out of town’ match was played in Nottinghamshire in 1865. In 1866 Sheffield became the first non- London side to play under FA Laws when they met London at Battersea Park. The FA Cup was founded in 1871 and in its third season Sheffield became the first northern side to take part and the first nonLondon side to win a tie. They succeeded in reaching the quarter finals in this and two further seasons also, 1876 and 1878, the club’s support helping the FA Cup nearly treble in size

and become a nationwide competition. 1872 saw the first international game, between England and Scotland in Glasgow, with Sheffield’s Charles Clegg playing for the England side. Clegg would later go on to be Chairman, and President, of the FA and receive a knighthood for his services to the game. From the 1880s onwards the rise of professionalism and Sheffield Club’s firm insistence on retaining their amateur status saw them overtaken and overshadowed by other sides in the area. During these years the very survival of the club owed much to the leadership of former players Harry Chambers and Harry Broughton Willey. It wasn’t all doom and gloom though! In fact Sheffield enjoyed possibly their greatest hour in 1904 when they won the Amateur Cup, beating Ealing 3-1 at Valley Parade, Bradford.

YORKSHIRE LEAGUE

1949 brought admission to the Yorkshire League and a resurgence, which saw the side promoted to Division 1 in their third season and reach the League Cup final in 1953. In 1957 they celebrated their Centenary year and reached their first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup final in 1962. After a period of yo-yoing between divisions the 1977 side were crowned Division

2 Champions and reached that season’s FA Vase final at Wembley. They established themselves as a top division side in the Yorkshire League, lifting the League Cup in 1978, before joining the newly founded Northern Counties East League in 1982.

NORTHERN COUNTIES LEAGUE

The Division 1 title was won in both 1989 and 1991 and a first Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup win came in 1994. In 2001 the club acquired a permanent ground, for the first time, when moving to its current home. After the turn of the century the side began to consistently challenge for promotion, also winning the League Cup and Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup twice apiece. The 2006/07 season ended with a 2nd place finish and promotion to the Northern Premier League.

NORTHERN PREMIER LEAGUE

Club made an instant impact in reaching the 2008 play-off final, narrowly losing only on penalties. That first season also saw games against Inter Milan and Ajax at Bramall Lane, as part of the 150th birthday celebrations. The side have reached the NPL play-offs a further 3 times in addition to lifting the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA Cup in 2008 and 2010.

Bradford PA History

Bradford Park Avenue FC is a football club based in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. The club was founded in 1907 after the dissolution of an earlier club with the same name, which was active from 1863 to 1907. Initially, the club played in regional leagues and was not immediately successful on the national stage. However, in the early years, the team made a name for itself by reaching the FA Cup first round several times, a sign of ambition in an era when football clubs were expanding in both stature and scope. The club's early history laid the foundation for what would become a rollercoaster journey through the English football pyramid.

In the 1920s, Bradford Park Avenue gained more prominence as they joined the Football League, securing a place in the Third Division North. This period marked a golden era for the club, as they steadily established themselves as a competitive force within English football. The team found success during this time, with Bradford Park Avenue

enjoying mid-table finishes and occasional cup runs. The club's most significant achievement during the early part of the 20th century came in the 1928–29 season when they finished as high as 8th in the Third Division North, showing promise that they could eventually rise to higher divisions.

However, despite their early success, the club began to struggle during the postWorld War II years. The financial difficulties and the changing landscape of football in the 1950s and 1960s saw Bradford Park Avenue relegated from the Football League in 1970. Their descent continued, and by the mid-1970s, the club was playing in the Northern Premier League, the top tier of non-league football at the time. The club's decline was a stark contrast to its earlier years, and the loss of Football League status represented a blow to the club's ambitions.

In the 1980s, Bradford Park Avenue faced additional challenges, both on and off the pitch. Financial issues plagued the club, and they

struggled to remain competitive in the non-league system. Despite these setbacks, the team showed resilience and managed to maintain its status in the Northern Premier League. The club's fortunes took another downturn in the early 1990s, as they were relegated further down the football pyramid. The difficulties facing Bradford Park Avenue were compounded by issues such as low attendances and a lack of significant investment, but the club continued to survive, clinging to its place in English football.

The club's fortunes began to improve in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Bradford Park Avenue found a degree of stability. This was due in part to local community support and the club's efforts to modernize its infrastructure. They experienced some success on the field, earning promotion back to the Conference North after several years in the lower non-league divisions. However, it was clear that the club was still far from its peak in the early 20th century. Despite efforts to improve,

Bradford Park Avenue struggled to achieve consistent success in the higher echelons of nonleague football.

In recent years, Bradford Park Avenue has continued to operate in the National League North, fighting for promotion and rebuilding its identity. While the club has yet to return to its former glory days, it remains an important part of Bradford's football history. The club continues to nurture talent, relying heavily on local players and supporters to maintain its competitive edge. Although Bradford Park Avenue’s time in the Football League is long past, the club remains a cherished institution in the heart of Bradford, with a loyal fanbase that hopes for a brighter future as they continue to strive for success in the nonleague ranks.

SHEFFIELD FC VS BISHOP AUCKLAND MATCH REPORT

Bottom-of-the-table Sheffield FC secured a crucial three points with a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Bishop Auckland at the Home of Football on Saturday. The win provides a significant boost to Sheffield's survival hopes as they look to climb away from the foot of the standings.

The early stages of the match saw few clear-cut chances, with Sheffield enjoying more of the possession. Despite their control, the home side struggled to break down a resilient Bishop Auckland defense, with Rory Coleman coming closest to an opener when his close-range effort was denied.

As the first half progressed, the visitors grew into the contest and started to pose problems of their own. Jack Blackford had a golden opportunity to put Bishop Auckland ahead but blazed his shot over the bar following a dangerous cross from Gary Martin. Moments

later, Louis Johnson tested Sheffield goalkeeper Mikey Roxburgh at the near post, forcing him into a sharp save to keep the scores level heading into the break.

Roxburgh continued to play a vital role in the second half, standing firm as Bishop Auckland pushed for a breakthrough. He produced a pair of excellent stops to deny Joe Bartliff before pulling off a top-class save to keep out a powerful effort from Johnson, preserving Sheffield's clean sheet.

With 69 minutes on the clock, Sheffield found the breakthrough. A well-delivered cross from Stephen Brogan was met by Brad Beatson, who smartly headed the ball back across goal. Luke Mangham reacted quickest in the crowded box, scrambling the ball over the line from close range to give the hosts a crucial lead.

As the game entered its final moments,

Sheffield pressed to put the result beyond doubt. Nathan Modest nearly doubled the advantage, forcing a superb fingertip save from Bishop Auckland goalkeeper Jack Norton. Soon after, Jonny Haase came to the visitors' rescue, clearing off the line after Mangham had rounded the keeper and looked certain to score.

The hosts finally sealed the victory deep into injury time. Archie White burst down the left flank with pace before squaring the ball into the path of Modest, who kept his composure to slot home a cool finish, making it 2-0 in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

It was a much-needed victory for Sheffield FC, who will hope to build momentum as they battle to climb the table, while Bishop Auckland will be left to rue their missed opportunities.

MATCH REPORT:

BASFORD 0 SHEFFIELD FC WOMEN 5

Sheffield FC enhanced their lead at the top of the East Midlands Premier League, with a comfortable 5-0 win away at struggling Basford United.

Club took just 18 minutes to open the scoring, Stacey Buxton’s shot was saved by keeper Paige Johnson, however Halima Essa was on hand to loop a header back over the top to make it 1-0.

Four minutes later the lead was doubled, this time Moriah McIntosh the provider with some good work on the right, giving Tilly Hallas-Potts the opportunity to slam in from close range.

The third goal came on 48 minutes, a great ball through from defence by debutant Katie McLoughlin found Halima Essa on the right flank, with the winger’s cross finding Jacey Haynes at the back post to power the ball home.

Club made certain of the points on 63 minutes, midfielder Charlie Griffin marking her debut with an assist, feeding leading scorer Stacey Buxton who took the ball on and lofted it over the keeper with the outside of her wrong foot.

Whilst Sheffield dominated play, Basford had their moments as well, with their best effort coming from their captain Laura Porritt who forced an acrobatic fingertip save from Leah Kellogg.

The scoring was wrapped up in injury time, the two substitutes linking up on the break, Amy Nelson giving Lucy Cook an easy tap-in for 5-0.

MATCH REPORT: WORSBROUGH BRIDGE 3 SHEFFIELD FC U21 3

For the third week on the trot Sheffield FC’s Development side saw themselves end with one point on the road, thanks to yet another last-minute equaliser, this time however it was the young Clubbies that were the beneficiaries as they drew 3-3 in an entertaining game at Handsworth. Club started lively, and on 11 minutes they took the lead, as Danny Fisher was put through on goal to tuck a shot wide of keeper Freddie Harrison.

The Ambers equalised three minutes before the break, with Callum Petch beating his defender on the right flank, before cutting in and curling the ball in the far corner.

It was 2-1 to the hosts on the hour mark, as big Harley Battison muscled himself clear at a corner, powering home a fantastic header.

That lead lasted three minutes, with Freddie Jones finishing past some uncertain goalkeeping, following a scramble from a Sonny Bennett Corner.

Handsworth were awarded a penalty on 68 minutes, following a foul by Harrison Barker on Jay-Jay Taylor, only to see Taylor’s effort excellently saved by Pat Warrington.

With five minutes remaining it looked like the home side had snatched it, as substitute Cole Fisher nipped in to make it 3-2, however with the last kick of the game it was OJ Pyke to the rescue to score the goal that gave Club an unlikely but deserved point.
