FC Phoenix Under 11’s have thrills at Shrewsbury FC F.C. Phoenix are a local football club based at Gorsty Lane, Tupsley. Last April I joined the club as a coach to set up a team for U11’s as the club didn’t have a team at this age group and I knew that the area had plenty of lads that played football as my son goes to St Paul’s School and all his friends play. I managed to gain sponsorship for the team from The Dentist @ Tupsley who’s logo we have on our shirts. The real story starts last September when we entered a tournament held in Ludlow, organised by Shrewsbury Town FC in the community. The tournament had teams entered from the Shropshire, Herefordshire and Mid Wales. After some tough competitive games F.C. Phoenix got to the final against Toros F.C another
Herefordshire grassroots team and we managed to win the tournament. Due to our success we were invited to take a lap of honour around Shrewsbury Town’s ground at half time in their Sky Bet League 1 home game against A.F.C. Wimbledon in March. After playing in the Hereford Junior Football League in the morning the team made the 50 mile trip to watch Shrewsbury. As the first half came to a close the team nervously made their way down to the side of the pitch. The lap of honour started and the boys were clapped and cheered by all 6,500 supports in the stadium all the way around proudly showing off the trophy they had won. As you can see from the picture the team loved every minute of the day something not many
local grassroots teams from Hereford, let alone Tupsley, would get to do. A big thank you to all our sponsors, The Dentist @ Tupsley, CR2 Electrics and E.C. Joseph and Sons Ltd. For a local grassroots team from Tupsley to have the opportunity to do this doesn’t come round too often and it highlights how much local talent we have in Tupsley Phoenix run boys teams from U7’s U13’s and have a Saturday morning club for boys aged 5 and above.
