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 match against Dunston is another big challenge for us, but one we are ready to take on with confidence. Over the past three games, we’ve seen some really positive performances from the lads, with strong displays against Liversedge and Consett, followed by a battling effort against Emley. While we didn’t get the result we wanted in that last match, the performance showed the character and determination within this group. We pushed Emley all the way and were unfortunate not to come away with at least a point. That kind of resilience will be crucial as we head into the final stretch of the season.

Despite the disappointment of the Emley result, there’s a real belief in this squad that we can finish the season strong. The attitude in training has been spot on, and the lads know what’s required to keep pushing forward. Every game from here on out is a fight, and we’ve shown in recent weeks that we are up for the battle. The togetherness and commitment in this group give me confidence that we’ll keep competing at a high level.

We know tonight won’t be easy, as Dunston have always been one of the toughest teams to come up against. They’re a side that consistently performs well, and there’s a reason they are always fighting towards the top end of the table. They have quality all over the pitch, and we will need to be at our best to match them. That said, we’ve already shown we can compete with the top teams, and if we play with the same intensity and spirit we’ve seen in recent weeks, we’ll give ourselves every chance of getting a result.

Finally, I want to take a moment to thank the fans for their incredible support. Whether home or away, you’ve backed the team brilliantly, and that makes a massive difference to the players. Your energy in the stands drives us on, and we’ll need that again tonight. Let’s stick together, keep pushing, and hopefully, we can put in a performance that makes you proud.

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.

Dunston History

Dunston FC was founded in 1975 as the football section of a Print Works Sports & Social Club. The team was formed by John Thompson and his colleagues at Her Majesty’s Stationery Office Gateshead, initially competing in the Newcastle City Amateur League. Early success led to a move to The Bay Horse public house in Whickham and a name change to Whickham Sports FC. Playing on public pitches in Dunston, the club joined the Northern Amateur League, achieving multiple league and cup victories. Continued success saw them progress to the Northern Combination League in 1980, prompting another relocation—this time to Dunston Mechanics Social Club—where they became known as Dunston Mechanics FC. The acquisition of land from Gateshead MBC allowed for further development, setting the foundation for the club’s long-term growth.

A major turning point came when Federation Brewery became the club’s main sponsor, leading to another

name change to Dunston Federation Brewery FC. The club thrived in the Wearside League, winning two league titles and a League Cup before earning promotion to the prestigious Northern Football League. They made an immediate impact, securing the Second Division title in their second season and reaching the FA Vase quarterfinals. Success continued through the late 1990s and early 2000s, with three consecutive League Challenge Cup wins from 1998 to 2000, as well as J.R. Cleator Cup victories in 1999/2000 and 2000/01. The club’s crowning achievement during this period was winning their first Northern League Championship in 2003/04 while also lifting the League Challenge Cup, showcasing their dominance in nonleague football.

Dunston continued to build on this momentum, repeating the league and cup double in 2004/05. In 2009, after three seasons without a primary sponsor, UTS Engineering stepped in, renaming the club

Dunston UTS FC and changing the ground’s name to The UTS Stadium. The club’s most historic achievement came in 2011/12 when, under the management of Billy Irwin and Tony Harrison, they finished third in the Northern League and embarked on a thrilling FA Vase run. That journey culminated in a triumphant 2-0 victory over West Auckland Town at Wembley Stadium—an unforgettable moment that remains the pinnacle of Dunston’s success.

Following a period of transition, the club experienced a resurgence in 2017-18, reaching the Durham Challenge Cup final and winning the Brooks Mileson Memorial League Cup. The following season, they enjoyed an impressive FA Cup run and secured the Northern League First Division title, earning promotion to the Northern Premier League. However, FA regulations required the removal of "UTS" from the club’s official name. Despite initial challenges in the NPL, Dunston steadily

improved, with strong performances in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons, narrowly missing out on the playoffs both years. Infrastructure improvements at The UTS Stadium further solidified the club’s ambitions.

The 2023/24 season was another step forward, despite an unusually harsh winter causing multiple postponements. Dunston battled through adversity, reaching the playoffs, only to suffer a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat at Stockton Town after leading until the final seconds of extra time. While the disappointment was immense, the experience has only strengthened the club’s resolve. Now, under the leadership of manager Jon McDonald, Dunston is more determined than ever to take that final step toward promotion in 2025. With continued dedication from the players, staff, and loyal supporters, the dream remains within reach.

MATCH REPORT

EMLEY AFC VS SHEFFIELD FC

Two quickfire goals early in the second half proved decisive as Emley edged past a determined Sheffield FC side, securing a 2-1 victory in wet and blustery conditions at the Welfare Ground. The win keeps Emley’s championship aspirations on track, though they had to withstand a late fightback from the visitors.

The first half was a tightly contested affair, with both sides struggling to carve out clear-cut chances. Sheffield FC came closest when Sam Greenhouse tested the Emley defence with a dangerous effort, while the hosts found it difficult to penetrate a well-organized and disciplined backline.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 50th minute, just as the rain intensified. Luke Parkin produced a moment of magic, unleashing a stunning 25-yard strike that curled beyond goalkeeper Mikey Roxburgh and into the top corner, sending the home crowd into raptures.

Barely three minutes later, Emley doubled their advantage. A dangerous cross from Isaac Baldwin on the left flank was only partially cleared, falling kindly for former Sheffield FC player Josh Ayres. Making his debut for Emley, Ayres made no mistake, nodding the ball home to make it 2-0 and giving his new side some breathing room.

Sheffield refused to go down without a fight and pulled a goal back in the 84th minute. A well-placed delivery from the left found Michael Borja Sánchez, who smartly headed the ball back across goal, allowing Luke Mangham to bravely dive in and steer the ball past the keeper from close range.

Sensing an opportunity to snatch a late equaliser, the visitors pressed forward in the closing stages. Brandon Webster tried his luck from distance, but his speculative effort soared over the bar, much to the relief of the Emley supporters. Despite Sheffield’s late pressure, Emley held firm to see out the victory, securing three crucial points in their push for the title.

MATCH REPORT: SHEFFIELD FC WOMEN 3 STAMFORD 0

Sheffield FC took a massive step towards a return to National League football on Sunday, as they tamed the only team to have defeated them this season, beating Stamford AFC 3-0 at the Home of Football. In a frantic first half, it was the visitors that were on top early on, although it took until the 27th minute to get a shot on target, with Laura Dowdell firing straight at Leah Kellogg.

A few minutes later Kellogg came to the rescue once again, as she was able to block a fierce shot at point blank range, denying an Eva Fowler effort from 15 yards out.

Club eventually got into the game, and five minutes before the break they took the lead after Halima Essa’s clinical pass through the defence found Mo McIntosh, who was able to compose herself and tuck the ball under keeper Maisie Thompson.

The second half was a different proposition completely with Sheffield coming out all guns blazing, and the lead was doubled on 56 minutes after Tilly Hallas-Potts’ volley rebounded off the bar, with Nicola Cooper smashing home the rebound for her first goal of the season.

It became one-way traffic from then on, with skipper Nicole Kemp denied twice by keeper Thompson, firstly from a free-kick and secondly an excellent tip over the bar. The points were wrapped up in the 82nd minute, substitute Lucy Cook picking out top scorer Stacey Buxton in the area, with the striker cutting inside to bury the ball.

The game came to an abrupt and sickening finish however, as in the sixth minute of stoppage time a Sheffield corner saw the hosts’ Tilly Hallas-Potts and visitors’ substitute Milly Ramm clash heads with a very bloody outcome, with the referee immediately blowing for time to allow extensive treatment that saw both head to Calow Hospital.

DEVELOPMENT TEAM SEASON REVIEW

Sheffield FC’s Development side completed their first season back in the North Midlands Development League, and it proved to be a difficult learning experience, coming up against a higher standard of opposition than in previous seasons.

Club started the season with a couple of losses, a late defeat to Swallownest, whilst a week later a very good Athersley side put our youngsters to the sword with a heavy defeat.

Our cup involvement came to an abrupt half at the first hurdle, losing away at Buxton, followed by three disappointing home defeats in a row to leave us at the bottom of the table.

Three away games at the top three sides followed, and whilst a heavy defeat to potential champions Penistone Church was a hard pill to swallow due to injuries and lack of availability, close run defeats at Thorncliffe Villa and Dinnington Town gave hope that improvement was being made.

That came to fruition at the end of January when table toppers at that time Thorncliffe Villa came to the Home of Football, and were blown away as the form tables were turned upside down, with the young Clubbies running out 5-1 winners.

The season was brought to a close with three draws, and a defeat at home to Handsworth, all involving a late goal to decide the outcome of the game.

It was the late goals conceded during the season that has been the biggest issue for the side, with four games seeing them lose games in the dying seconds, with another three seeing them concede to deny a win.

Overall it has been a promising season, Joint Managers Damo Magee and Brad Elam have done well to pick up following the departure of Marc Newsham, and go into the next campaign with experience and drive to improve on their seventh placed finish.
