St Ives Town FC was born in 1887 in a packed room at the Unicorn Hotel, where forty locals agreed to create a team that would carry their town’s pride.

From the start, the black‑and‑white‑star shirts became a symbol of ambition. The early decades delivered trophy after trophy—Senior Cups, Junior Cups, league titles—establishing the Saints as a force across Cambridgeshire and beyond. Even through league changes, setbacks, and wartime interruptions, the club’s identity hardened: resilient, restless, always pushing for more.

Everything changed in the early 2000s. Neville Nania’s arrival as chairman sparked a revolution, pairing club legend Warren Everdell with Jez Hall and Errol McGammon to unleash a fearless new era built on youth, hunger, and belief. Promotions followed, cup finals became routine, and historic FA Vase runs drew record crowds to Westwood Road.

The momentum carried into the Ricky Marheineke era, where a rebuilt squad delivered the unthinkable—promotion to Step 3 via a play‑off epic against Rushden & Diamonds. The Saints were no longer just competing; they were rewriting their ceiling.

finish, smashing in 87 goals and watching Jonny Edwards claim the Golden Boot. With a strong core retained and new experience added, the Saints stand on the brink of their next chapter. The ambition is clear, the belief is real, and the target is unmistakable—break into the top six and keep 3 climbing.

MANAGERS NOTES ‌NOTES Good afternoon everyone, and a warm welcome back to Quattro Tech Westwood Road. A special welcome to our visitors Moulton we hope you enjoy your afternoon with us and have a safe trip home afterwards.

Todays game promises to be a proper test between two evenly matched sides. Yes, we came away with a 5 0 win on the opening day, but nobody inside our dressing room is expecting anything like that this time around.

Moulton are a good outfit, they have grown into the season, and we know we will need to be at our best to get a result.

Last weekends performance against Hemingfords United was exactly the standard we have been pushing for. It was, without question, our best display of the season a 4-1 win built on energy, discipline, and a real collective desire to do things properly. It was also a rare sight to see Alfie Baker scoring, which gave the lads a lift and added a bit of humour to the afternoon. More importantly, every player showed commitment from the first whistle to the last, and that is the level we want to carry into today.

Finally, a huge thank you to our supporters. Your backing this season has meant a lot to the group. Keep spreading the word bring a mate, bring a neighbour, bring someone who has never been before. The more people we get behind the lads at home, the stronger the St Ives family becomes.

FROM THE BOARDROOM ‌BOARDROOM Welcome back to the Quattro-Tech Westwood Road as the reserve team continue their league programme with the visit of Moulton.

On behalf of everyone at the club may I congratulate the reserves on a superb result last weekend as they progressed through to the final of the Hunts Intermediate Cup with a comfortable 4-1 win over Hemingfords here at the Quattro-Tech Westwood Road. The game was made better with an above average crowd including those such as myself who cut short their trip to the first team fixture at Stamford to return and give the reserves a cheer. The first team match was called off late, and those who did choose the reserves as their Saturday football fix were certainly treated to an excellent watch. Well done to everyone involved and it brightened up a rather damp and cold January afternoon.

Moulton arrive this afternoon currently occupying eighth place in the table, four points behind the Ives who are fourth. A win today could potentially see us climb up to third depending on the outcome of the Goddy match at home to Bugbrooke St Michaels.

The first team are scheduled to be in action today at Banbury, although at the time of writing the forecast is for more rain and with Banbury having had flooding issues at their ground already this season, then it’s a case of fingers crossed that the first team will see some action this afternoon.

Regarding the first team, may I take this opportunity to thank everyone who made the journey to Stamford only to be let down by the late decision to call the game off by the match referee. Clearly when this happens, it is out of our hands, but it is immensely frustrating. At the time of writing, we are still waiting for the game to be rearranged.

Continuing with first team matters, and they have back-to-back home fixtures to finish this month. Next week, we host Halesowen and the following Saturday (31st), we are at home to Bury Town. These are two fixtures where we are scheduled to get a decent number of travelling fans and it will be equally good to get two home wins on the bounce, so make sure you are here to give the boys a cheer. We are looking for match and matchball sponsorship for both of these games, and if you are interested then please contact Mark Taylor for further information Mark.Taylor@stivestownfc.co.uk.

But back to today, and I hope you have a fantastic afternoon with us. The reverse fixture back in August ended in a 5-0 win for the Ives, and it would be great if that was repeated once again today. Enjoy the game.

Andy Dunn

1ST TEAM UPDATE ‌UPDATE This weekend the First Team make the trip to Banbury in the Pitching In Premier Division Central. With Banbury sitting just one place above St Ives on goal difference, it’s a perfect opportunity for Ricky and the lads to leapfrog the hosts and keep momentum building.

Wishing the boys all the best on the road, safe travels, strong performance, and here’s to bringing the points back to Westwood Road.

HEMINGFORDS UNITED

St Ives Town reserves March Into Hunts FA Intermediate Cup Final With Commanding 4–1 Win St Ives Town booked their place in the Hunts FA Intermediate Cup final with a confident 4–1 win over Hemingfords United, built almost entirely on a blistering first‑half performance.

The game sparked into life right from the off, with St Ives settling quickest and moving the ball with real purpose. Their early pressure paid off when Rueben Huggins out jumped the Hemingfords defence to open the scoring, setting the tone for what followed. Not long after, Dylan Parry‑Jones doubled the lead with a tidy finish after a great through ball from Jacob Dickson that left the Hemingfords back line scrambling to recover.

Casey Fitzgerald extended the lead after Sam Parker was brought down in the box, and the referee pointed straight to the spot. Fitzgerald stepped up with confidence and calmly rolled the penalty into the corner, giving Ives an even firmer grip on the game.

Hemingfords did manage to pull one back, briefly threatening to drag themselves back into the contest, but St Ives responded soon after with the moment of the match. A great free kick swung into the box and rising above everyone, Alfie Baker powered in a majestic header that flew into the net and sent Ives into half‑time with a commanding 4–1 advantage.

The second half was a different story less frantic, more controlled. With the job largely done, St Ives managed the game sensibly, keeping their shape, slowing the tempo, and refusing to give Hemingfords any real encouragement. The scoreline stayed as it was, but the professionalism on display ensured the result never looked in doubt.

At the final whistle, St Ives could fully enjoy a well earned victory and turn their attention to the final, where Eynesbury United await in what promises to be a great 10 showdown.

TODAYS OPPONENTS ‌OPPONENTS Founded on the proud traditions of Moulton Football Club, the Moulton Magpies represent more than just a youth section — they are the heartbeat of a thriving village football community. While Moulton FC dates back to 1896, the modern Magpies identity took shape in 1994 with the creation of a single U11 boys’ team. From that modest beginning, the club has grown into one of Northamptonshire’s most vibrant grassroots football hubs.

Today, the Magpies run over 25 teams, ranging from U6 mini‑soccer to youth, adult, and walking‑football pathways. More than 500 players wear the famous black and white each season, supported by a dedicated network of coaches, volunteers, and families who keep the club’s community spirit alive.

The Magpies’ growth mirrors the rise of the senior side, who have climbed from the Northamptonshire Combination to the national league system, now competing in the United Counties League Premier Division South.

This progress has strengthened the club’s commitment to providing a clear and inspiring pathway for young players to develop and, for many, progress into adult football.

In December 2022, the club was recognised as the England Football Accredited Club of the Month, celebrating its inclusive culture, strong safeguarding standards, and commitment to player development.

Whether it’s a first kick in mini‑soccer or a final step into senior football, the Magpies continue to embody everything grassroots football should be: welcoming, ambitious, and proudly rooted in the community.
