City Looking To The Future
A new development team is being launched by Southwell City FC. And it is hoped that this will lead to a stream of young talent progressing into the club’s senior teams.
The new team is designed to keep the best Under 21 players at the club, whilst attracting local talent that may be playing elsewhere. They will begin next season by playing in the Notts Senior League Development Division, a new competition that has been designed to provide a vital link between junior and senior football.
The club has been running a number of trial matches for players that would like to play for the new development team. There has been a lot of interest and the quality of those players attending has been very high, which will make the choosing of a final squad a difficult but enjoyable experience for the new manager.
John Cunningham, chairman of Southwell City, said: “Our newly formed Under 21s team offers a fantastic opportunity for City players to compete in a highly competitive development league. It’s so important that we bring through young talent at City as we currently lose many great prospects at the age of 18. This new team provides the next step in our youth pathway and these players will provide the future talent for our senior teams, so it is a very exciting project to be involved in.”
It’s not too late for new players to be considered for next season’s squad. Anyone who is interested in becoming involved with the new team, and is aged between 16 and 20 years old, should initially contact the club using the enquiry form.

Defibrillator in Memory of Peter Moyses
A campaign to raise money for a public access defibrillator has been started by Richard Moyses & Julie Pitchford, in memory of their late father Peter, a former member of Southwell City FC. The defibrillator will be situated outside of the football clubhouse in the Memorial Ground.
Richard said “my father spent many years volunteering for the club in many different roles, I have strong links with scouts and the family has always supported heart charities. We as a family hope that this will benefit the football, tennis and bowls clubs, as well as the scouts and all users of the park and playground”
Having a public access defibrillator available in an emergency can be lifesaving, especially in rural areas where ambulance response times may be longer. By using a defibrillator on someone within three minutes of them going into cardiac arrest, their chance of survival is increased to around 75 per cent.
Richard & Julie have raised over half of the money needed so far to fund the cost of the defibrillator. Donations were collected by D J Hall Funeral Directors, on behalf of the family. The football, bowls and tennis clubs have also contributed towards the fund.
To make a small pledge towards this worthy cause, please visit the Just Giving page that has now been set up by Richard & Julie.

Ged Law
The club has been devastated by the recent passing of Ged Law. Ged was not only our 1st team secretary, he was the father of Calum, and a person who was highly regarded throughout the club. An absolute gentleman who’ll be thoroughly missed.
The statement below, made by Jonny Upton, our first team manager, reflects how we all feel at the club.
