After years of planning, we’re delighted to share that floodlights have now been successfully installed!
Huge thanks to everyone who helped us get here.
Our home 🖤🤍💡
𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒆, 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒔𝒆𝒂𝒕
With a seated stand installed yesterday, we’re delighted that our last step to major step-6 ground development is now complete.
It’s taken so much effort & £000’s to get here over a 2-year journey, but we’re really proud of 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. 🖤🤍
The club are devastated with the recent passing of Ged Law. Ged was not only our 1st team secretary, he was the father of Calum & a person who was highly regarded throughout the club. An absolute gentleman who’ll be thoroughly missed 🖤🤍
Jonny’s statement on behalf of the club:
Thanks for all the messages for Munno. He’s had his leg straightened back last night before an operation this afternoon. He’s in good spirits* & we’ll support him in his recovery 🖤🤍

The game has been abandoned after 20mins due to a broken leg suffered by Munton 😔
Thanks to the assistant Paul, who’s also a fireman and he’s been great.
Munno is now with the emergency medics before the ambulance arrives.
🥁 Introducing our 2023/24 away shirt 😍
With claret reportedly being the first colour we ever played in back in the 1800’s, we revert back to our roots and we 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 it!
It’s an all-claret kit with gold trim & numbers. Created again by Hope & Glory - it’s a beauty👌
It’s with great sadness to announce that Mick Gregory, a stalwart of the football club for decades, has passed away this morning following a short battle with illness. Mick travelled home & away, absolutely loved the club & his willingness to help was always appreciated. 😔🖤🤍
We had hoped to present
@Dunkirk_FC
with a floral wreath in memory of their former captain Kial, after this weeks tragic news.
We’ll find a way to get it over to his family.
From everyone at City, we share our heartfelt condolences to all of Kial’s family and friends 🖤🤍
Clubs at step 6/7 announcing signings with a pen, paper & squad number... we’ll stick to finding some grass to train on and the lads helping take the gear in after 😂🤷🏻♂️
NEWS - We’re delighted to announce that we’re now in a position to proceed with our major ground improvements, which will see our Senior Teams move to a refurbished & upgraded Centenary Ground at Brinkley, whilst creating a junior hub at the Memorial Ground.
Statement attached.
Since the news of our junior pitches being destroyed, the support has been incredible. Thank you to all the clubs who’ve offered their facilities free of charge, teams reversing fixtures, media outlets for sharing & local groundsmen offering their services. Hugely appreciated 🙌
He’s had two ops but there’ll be more to come. We’ve now created a funding page for Munno. He’ll be off work for a while & we want to support him during that period.
Please spread the word & we appreciate all the support for him. 🖤🤍
Thanks for all the messages for Munno. He’s had his leg straightened back last night before an operation this afternoon. He’s in good spirits* & we’ll support him in his recovery 🖤🤍

Season 22/23 finished, and our first go at step 6 can be considered a great effort. Considering the landscape we’re up against, the lads & management should be delighted with 14th.
On the long way home… 🚎🍻
Thank you for all your support 🖤🤍
A reminder that over the next 6 weeks, there’s a great opportunity to get out and support your local football team!
Go & watch a game, spend only a few quid & enjoy some proper non-league footy.
It’ll make a big difference to that club, too 🙌
Lots of work being done on our home pitch this summer. The vulnerable bottom-corner has been raised, sanded & drainage. The rest has been verti-drained, drilled & re-seeded. Progress!
Just need the goalmouths to come through in the next 6 weeks 💪🌱
Shaun’s commitment is 💯👌
September 2021 - April 2022
We’ve put so much into the development of the club & the transformation in such a short space of time is unbelievable.
𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗬𝗼𝘂 to everyone who’s been involved & days like yday with record crowds make you realise how far we’ve come.
🖤🤍
As we reflect a little on that last few weeks, 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪 to all of those who’ve come down to support us. We’ve had almost 𝟳𝟬𝟬 attend across our last 3 home games which is amazing for Step 7 👏
Proud of our club 🖤🤍
Good luck to Liam Moran, who has taken the opportunity to play at a higher step next season with Newark & Sherwood.
He’s such a great lad & he leaves with all of our best wishes 🦓🦓🦓
Off the mark with all 3 points!
Law, Peace-McDonald & Bowles give us the win whilst we keep the clean sheet. Not at our best but the main thing is the win. Law MOM, who worked his socks off.
Thank you to the 𝟰𝟳𝟳 who came to watch. Incredible 🖤🤍
FT! City 6 vs
@STFCseniors
1. What a win & a great way to sign off a strong season. Nussey (3), Caudwell (2) & Law. Stapleford finish with 9-men.
NSL SENIOR CUP WINNERS!!
Our first trophy since 2002! Super stripes ⚫️⚪️🏆
Thanks for all the messages for Munno. He’s had his leg straightened back last night before an operation this afternoon. He’s in good spirits* & we’ll support him in his recovery 🖤🤍

It’s always funny watching step 6/7 clubs announcing new signings when it’s literally impossible to do so until June.
As per every summer, we won’t be announcing new signings or giving match updates during friendlies.
We will however, update on stuff some might care about 😂👍
Good luck to our keeper

Mon 25/9 v Nigeria (16:30)
Weds 27/9 v Gabon (20:30)
Malaysia is 7hrs AHEAD of UK time
Live stream will be shown on YouTube!
We had 3 league objectives for our senior teams this season:
1sts: retain step 6 status
Reserves: promotion to step 7*
Development: promotion to step 9
To (*hopefully) achieve all 3 is an incredible effort by all players & management teams.
The club has never been better 🖤🤍
FT!!
@birstall_united
1 vs City 2! What a win away from home as we dug in & worked so hard. Not many chances for either side throughout, but Moran scores both our goals. Huge 3 points. Bowles MOM, back to his best. 🖤🤍
A fair point yesterday on the road & we should keep the perspective:
✨ 𝟵 of the 𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗨𝟮𝟭, & 𝟱 of the 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟭𝟭 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗨𝟭𝟬𝘀. At step 6. 👏📈
Proud 🖤🤍
Todays team:
2 changes from Newark as Graham debuts in goal & Cariata returns. Smith & Bailey away. Peace-Mcdonald, Higgins & Selby injured.
9 of the 16 are U21 including 2 x 17year olds; a stat that we’ve probably consistently overlooked this season. Incredible!
👏🖤🤍
The game has been abandoned after 20mins due to a broken leg suffered by Munton 😔
Thanks to the assistant Paul, who’s also a fireman and he’s been great.
Munno is now with the emergency medics before the ambulance arrives.
It’s with great sadness to report that Billy Taylor, a player, club stalwart & part of our backroom staff across a decade, has died. We will have a minutes silence tonight in memory of him, and our thoughts are with all of his friends and family. 🖤🤍
𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩!
With pre-season complete, we play our 1st ever game at Step 6 this Saturday as we host Kirby Muxloe. There will be ups & downs but we’re going to enjoy every minute of this season!
£3 entry, includes a free programme.

Good luck, Ginger Prince!

@NewarkTownFC
0 vs City 2. A proper derby with 2 teams who battled throughout. Law & Moran scoring the goals early in the 2nd half & we saw it out brilliantly, with Fletcher rarely tested. Good luck to Town & see you Boxing Day. MOM Munno or Moran!
Thanks to all those who came today. We’re a community club & days like this mean a lot! Junior mascots, volunteers prepping all weekend, 00’s in attendance & a win to boot.
Hopefully we made your visit enjoyable 🖤🤍

As part of our transition from the Memorial Ground to Brinkley for the seniors, we also wanted to provide better facilities for our Juniors. After months of pitchwork, we’re delighted to have now converted our old senior pitch to 3 x great junior pitches at the MG.
#TheFutureZeb
First things first, we have another 𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗘 𝗖𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗜𝗢𝗡 for 1st team appearances.
A huge part of the club, no one more committed and a big reason why we’re at step 6.
Congrats, Stocksy 🤝🦓

A change of plan…
Due to the torrential rain, our pitch is unplayable. Both teams want to play the game, so we’ve agreed to move the game to Newark YMCA.
Best bit? It’s an 𝟭𝟭:𝟭𝟱 𝗞𝗢..! (It’s not an early April Fool)
That’ll catch some groundhoppers! Share away 😅👍🦓
Congrats to our reserves who finish their season in style, with a 4-0 win away at Borrowash!
It’s a fitting way for Brett to finish as he takes a break. He’s done a top job & passes the baton on to new management in a great position.
Thanks for your efforts,

@lborodynamofc
. Ven has been a great asset to the 1st team in the last 2 years, helping us win our first trophy in decades & we wish him all the best for the future.
FT City 6 vs Clifton 0. The visitors were lively for large parts but we were ruthless & controlled the 2nd half. Moran 3, Law 2 & Selby. Could’ve had more in front of a great attendance of 228!! Amazing. 🖤🤍
A minutes silence impeccably observed after the sad death of Peter Moyses. Pete was associated with our club for decades & we pass our condolences on to his family. 🖤
Just a 17-year keeper who’s come all the way through our youth ranks, making big saves against the best.
That’s JJ’s 4th start and he’s been brilliant in every game 👏
Conveyor belt 💫
Less than 4 years ago, this was our new home…
So much work, sustainable investment & effort has gone into the transformation, with more to follow…
🖤🤍
#tbt
The worst thing about this is not the actual repair work, it’s the fact that loads of kids who love football will be unable to play here for a while until it’s all sorted. Hopefully they get caught 🙌
Thank you for the huge amount of messages & support, it’s hugely appreciated.

FT City 3 vs
@GedlingMWFC
1. Even first half but much more controlled in the 2nd. Ferenc scored first before Tempest equalised with a deflected free kick. Moran scored twice in 2nd half. Shout out to young Rayson in goal, superb. 3 wins on the spin. Good luck to Gedling 👍🦓
FT
@HucknallTownFc
1 vs City 1. Such a good disciplined display & whilst we score late, we should’ve come away with all 3; Kinnerley making an unreal save late on! Kabongo getting his first goal for the club. A battling point on the board 💪. Good luck to Hucknall. MOM Bryant
We’re launching a special shirt this season & let people nominate a local charity to go on the front, free of charge.

Brilliant & deserved win, as youngsters Hlabangana & Gangotra score our goals. Clean sheet, too! Bryant & Akand both immense.

It’s a young group who’ve mainly come through our ranks, lost a couple of players to the reserves & its a great effort from all.

Regardless of what happens this season, we’ve had a great 2018; our highest finish in 12 years & go into 2019 top. The squads ave age is 22, mainly local lads, all outfield players come from our ranks & as importantly it’s a great, close group.
Here’s to a successful 2019 👍🏼⚫️⚪️

What a sad indictment of where these owners think the game is at. Meanwhile hard working football people have been furloughed and clubs lower down the pyramid have gone under.

Thankfully he’ll be back fit ready for 2022/23 which will be a big boost 💪🦓
FT City 4 vs
@RainworthMWFC
1! Awful first half where Walton made a crucial save at 1-1, but absolutely dominated the 2nd half & run out deserved winners. Moran (2), Munton & a Bowles penalty. Munno MOM but Bowles & McCourt also great. 3 points in front of 159 🦓
🥁 Introducing our new home shirt 😍
We’re delighted to continue our partnership with both Ridgeway Electrical and Hope & Glory, with the latter producing this seasons bespoke shirt.
🖤🤍
FT: Get in! Shevlin & a late Munton goal give us a thoroughly deserved win. In truth it should’ve been more but we get through to the next round. Kirby have a man sent off after the whistle. MOM Munno, superb for his first mins since the summer. 🦓🦓🦓
