Formers Tigers' Alex Sykes and Darren Mullings are involved with both teams; Syko is assistant at Evesham whilst Daz is Manager at Yate Town. Both will be welcome back at Meadow Park. We will also face Uxbridge for the first time in 18 years since Alex Allard broke their hearts with a late winner in an FA Trophy tie at The New Lawn during our first season of exile. Weymouth are also in our league for the first time since 2000, we've had some classic matches against them down the years and will expect a yo-yo club like the Terras to be challengers.

This was literally a game of two halves as City completed their unbeaten campaign at home to Stockwood Wanderers with a 9-2 victory. The Bristol side took the lead within the first few minutes and despite City looking the more dangerous team held on to their advantage until the interval. However. Two Luca Davis goals from the off were followed by a Sachi Kaneko-Grun hat trick plus others from Emine Akkurt and makeshift striker Kamissa Stichter. Unsung player of the season Daniela Soave scored twice late doors to make it nine. City : Linteo, Peck, Karbownik, Neall, M.Smith, Hudson-Clements, Todd, Lasmarias, Stichter, Grey, Soave. Subs - Davis, Kaneko-Grun, Gomez, Akkurt, Scheafer. Photos Looking forward to seeing more Sachi Kaneko-Grun goals next season Friday May 9th 2025   Daffyd Williams new Manager Daffyd Williams has been named as City's new Manager following the decision not to renew Mike Cook's contract. Daf was previously at the club as assistant to Lee Mansell for a year from September 2021 to September 2022. Since then he has had experience at Barry Town United and more recently as interim Manager at Newport County. He first job was to re-engage the players from last seasons squad whilst releasing those that he didn't want; Ty Duffus, Dan Ball, Dayle Grubb, Brandon Smalley and Spencer Hamilton have been shown the door. Monday May 5th 2025   Harry Pinchard City's best chance Shit, Bollocks, Fuck, Wank. Another season in this shit league. They scored, we didn't. A goal midway through the second half by Ethan Taylor was enough to send AFC Totton into the NL South while we have to stay here playing Wammering Dell and Rendcomb seconds. Sometimes I hate football. City : Thomspon, Leadbitter, Duffus (Jemmett-Hutson 85), Richards-Everton, Ball, Dawson, Williams (Phillips 90+3), Pinchard, Grubb (Emmett 78), Hanks (Smalley 69), Watts. Subs not used - Newbery, Phillps. AFC Totton : Gosney, Oastler, Magri, Seymour (Austin 88), Rendell, Taylor (Hallett 90+4), Tanner, Collins, Bennett, Lee (Tomasso 82), McIntyre. Subs not used - Jefford, Blair. Wednesday April 30th 2025   Ed Williams winning penalty Never in doubt. After a disastrous start which saw City ship two early goals from Rogalski and Taylor at Walton & Hersham in tonight's playoff semi-final Joe Hanks got Mike Cook's men back into the game when he glanced home an Elis Watts cross. Apparently the build up came from a throw in that should've been awarded to the London side, but it wasn't a Dagenham throw that day either so we know their pain. Walton's keeper dropped an absolute bollock for Ed Williams' equaliser but kept his side in the game with save after save with City dominating the game. It went to penalties where Brandon Smalley, Elis Watts, Liam Cross and Harry Pinchard all found the net whilst Wayne Ridgley arrowed one wide for the hosts leaving super Ed to slam home the winning spot kick. The final is at AFC Totton on Monday. City : Thomspon, Leadbitter (Jemmett-Hutson 17), Duffus, Richards-Everton, Ball (Emmett 109), Dawson, Williams, Pinchard, Grubb (Cross 54), Hanks (Smalley 70), Watts. Sub not used - Newbery Walton & Hersham : Barker, Bolton, Bolger (Horan 87), Eccleston, Kuaho, Jones, Jennings (Nuur 87), Vigrass (Obeng 80), Powell (Ridgley 108), Taylor (Body 106), Rogalski. Sunday April 27th 2025   On a day when the Reserves could've won the Championship again instead they fell to a bitterly disappointing 0-4 defeat at Southmead in Bristol. On a hard pitch City were never able to get their passing game going and even though the home side had a player sin-binned and another sent off they fell behind. City weren't ever able to take advantage of the extra player as Southmead managed their loss incredibly well and never stopped pressuring their opponents and went on to score three more goals in the second half. If Southmead beat City of Gloucester Ladies 20-0 next week they will win the league ahead of our Reserves. City Women Reserves : Hancock, Mansell, Lewis, C.Gabb, Sterry, Feighery, Day, Kantorowicz, Rankin, McAusland, Baldwin. Subs - Ambrey, Ireland, Knibbs, Le Sueur, Clarke. Photos Saturday April 26th 2025   Harry Burns second minute goal In an end of season dead rubber City were held to a 2-2 draw by Gosport Borough. Harry Burns put City a goal to the good in the second minute firing home a loose ball after a shot had been saved by the Borough keeper. That meant that he'd scored in the first and last games of the season! A cross from Curtis Jemmett-Hutson was put through his own net in the tenth minute by a Gosport defender under pressure from Jadyn Crosbie. However the away side pulled one back with a cross to a player who was absolutely unmarked in the six yard box before they equalised late doors from the penalty spot after Harry Emmett had brought their man down who was through on goal. Emmett was red carded too. City : Thompson, Leadbitter (Richards-Everton 46), Ball, Pinchard (Grubb 63), Smalley (Phillips 70), Crosbie, Cross (Watts 74), Dawson (Hanks 45+1), Emmett (83), Jemmett-Hutson, Burns. Gosport Borough : Parkes, Payce (Stanley 62), Wassmer, Morison, Tarbuck (Williams 58), Yearwood, Wooden (Jones 73), Nwachuku, Lee, Hollands, Murray. Subs not used - Walsh-Smith, Sharp. Thursday April 24th 2025   Emine Akkurt opened scoring City Women celebrated a fantastic victory in the County Cup with a 2-0 win over Frampton Rangers at Bishops Cleeve tonight. Emine Akkurt gave City a first half lead before Lucabella Davis doubled the advantage midway through the second half with a penalty after Sachi Kaneko-Grun had been fouled. City : Linteo, Neall, Sheafer, M.Smith, Kaneko-Grun (Gomez), Akkurt (Lasmarias), Todd (Baldwin), Stichter, Grey, Soave, Davis. Subs not used - Clement-Hudson, Peck. Photos Champions! Monday April 21st 2025   Joe Hanks 25 goals City cemented their playoff place with a professional 3-1 win at Hunts Copse to send Swindon Supermarine into the bottom four with one game to go. The result sets up an away tie at Walton & Hersham on Wednesday 30th and as much as getting into the playoffs is a good thing it's massively disappointing that we aren't at home and aren't likely to be even if we beat W&H. A tie at Totton probably awaits. "striker" Joe Hanks scored twice today and had one ruled out for offside too, although the one that was probably wasn't and the one that wasn't probably was. Elis Watts scored the third goal whilst SS replied when a cross by Michael Fernandes may or may not have got a touch from Harry Williams. City : Thompson, Leadbitter (Jemmett-Hutson 57), Duffus, Ball, Williams, Pinchard (Burns 77), Grubb (Cross 67), Hanks (Smalley 65), Richards-Everton, Dawson, Watts. Sub not used - Emmett. Supermarine : Brabham, Turl, Campbell, Lee (Vine 61), Richards, Edge, Kotwica, Sims-Burgess, Fernandez, Spalding (Reivers 70), Dworzak (Williams 55). Subs not used - Mehew, Angel. Friday April 18th 2025   Dayle Grubb scored twice It can't be very often that you watch your team score seven goals and still come away feeling unsatisfied. Six goals to the good at the break should mean a double digit victory right? Sadly the second half lacked the goals that the first had given us seeing just the solitary strike from Dayle Grubb to add to the goal that he scored in the first half. City should've had a penalty in the first minute when Joe Hanks cocked his leg to shoot but was impeded by a defender but a minute or so later he'd beaten the offside trap and fired home off of the far post. Dan Ball quickly made it two when he angled a shot into the roof of the net before a goalless ten minute wait was ended when Elis Watts curled a left footed bended inside the far post. Harry Pinchard squeezed on in off of the upright from outside the box before Ed Williams prodded home a loose ball after a goalbound shot was delfected his way and a minute later Dayle Grubb got the first of his brace in injury time. Unfortunately the second half yielded just the one goal; a fine finish from Grubb as City rung the changes by bringing on all of their substitutes. City : Thompson, Duffus, Ball, Williams, Pinchard (Burns 69), Grubb, Hanks (Smalley 64), Richards-Everton (Emmett 81), Dawson (Cross 59), Jemmett-Hutson, Watts (Crosbie 69). Marlow : Rhone, Oladunjoye, Hoath, Salmon, Ovenden, Curtis (Kelsea 62), Jallow, Nawaf, Maudner, Agar (Jack 79), Brown (Obodo 59). Sunday April 13th 2025   Taite Scheafer scored winner City staged a great comeback today to win 3-2 away at St Vallier in Bristol. Lauren Peck equalised from the penalty spot after Taite Scheafer had been fouled. But her goal was bookmarked between two for the home team. Substitute Sachi Kaneko-Grun got the second equaliser before Scheafer bagged the winner with minutes to go. City Women : Linteo, Mansell, Peck, Neall, Scheafer, M.Smith, Todd, Stichter, Grey, Gomez, Lasmarias. Subs - McAusland, Baldwin, Akkurt, Kaneko-Grun, Davis. Unfortunately the reserves fell to a 0-4 defeat away at Whitchuch in their cup semi-final. Two goals in the two minutes before the break did for their hopes. City Women Reserves : Hancock, Lewis, Ambrey, C.Gabb, Sterry, Johnson, Kantorowicz, Feighery, Clarke, Handisides, O'Neil. Subs - K.Smith, Ireland, Le Sueur, Chloe Day. Saturday April 12th 2025   Ronnie Newbery re-signed Another away game, another defeat. Not much else to write really. Despite reports of City playing well in the first half they couldn't make their mark with a goal and were punished in the second when Chertsey Captain Luke Robertson scored for the home side. The goal came a good thirty second after Joe Hanks had gone down with a suspected head injury yet play continued. I'm sure any fans who went wished they gone to nearby Thorpe Park instead. City : Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Ball, Emmett, Dawson, Williams, Pinchard (Grubb 77), Watts (Jemmett-Hutson 74), Smalley (Cross 56), Hanks (Crosbie 86). Sub not used - Newbery. Chertsey Town : Strizovic, Collins, Fisher, Robertson, Duffy, Flanighan, Brown, Turner, Mazzone (Karczewski 86), McCoy, Lee. Subs not used - Little, Rogers, Birch, Young. Sunday April 6th 2025   Sachi Kaneko-Grun hat trick For the second time in two days Meadow Park saw an entertaining 3-3 draw. Royal Wootton Bassett Town Ladies took an early lead when City keeper Sam Linteo misjudged a corner and the ball was headed home. The Swindon team had had a chance to score prior to that when the referee awarded a free kick following a back pass, something you rarely see nowadys. However Sachi Kaneko-Grun levelled and then put City ahead but the away side turned the scoreline on it's head with a breakaway goal and then an unfortunate own goal by Linteo after a shot bobbled out of her hands. At that point City should've had two more Kaneko-Grun goals; one where she was wrongly ruled offside following up a Maggie Neall shot that had rattled the crossbar and then when her piledriver also hit the bar and bounced over the line and out but the referee rarely set foot outside the centre circle so was unable to away the goal. However Sachi finally got her hat trick with the equaliser three minutes from time. Three girls from the U16s were given debuts today; Naomi Baldwin, Neve McAusland and Immy Mansell. Immy's dad Richard played for City during the 2005/06 season and her uncle Lee was City Manager more recently. City : Linteo, Neall, Scheafer, Kaneko-Grun, Baldwin, McAusland, Todd, Stichter, Grey, Gomez, Davis. Subs - Randhawa, Lasmarias, Mansell, Peck, M.Smith. Photos Sachi is clearly onside (look at the shadows on the pitch) as Maggie Neall kicks the ball goalwards Saturday April 5th 2025   Joe Hanks saviour WOW! What an exciting finish to a game that was marred by a turgid City display in the first half. Joe Hanks came off of the bench to rescue a point and more importantly keep Dorchester equidistant from us in the table pretty much cementing our playoff place whilst a win for Havant & Waterlooville saw the Dorset fall out of them. Dorchester had taken a two goal lead into the break; a third minute goal tapped in after the returning Jared Thompson had saved a point blank effort however he could do nothing about a superb free kick that was their second. Despite City playing their own version of walking football Manager Mike Cook opted to keep the same eleven for the second half but when he finally did make a change Elis Watts pulled a goal back firing home the rebound after Harry Pinchard's shot was saved by the keeper. The away side restored their two goal lead before Liam Cross won a penalty which Hanks coolly finished to set up a thrilling climax as the same player equalised with a diving header after a bit of ping pong in the box. That felt like a win. City : Thompson, Leadbitter, Duffus, Ball (Emmett 72), Williams (Crosbie 90+3), Pinchard, Grubb (Cross 53), Richards-Everton, Dawson, Jemmett-Hutson (Smalley 53), Watts (Hanks 66). Sub not used - Burns. Dorchester : Lee, Dickson (Pardoe 83), Spetch (Turner 14), Haste, Buse, Moore, Ngalo, Roberts (Hutchinson 90+1), Fogden, Koszela (Daws 90+5), Gwengwe (Pitman 90+3). Friday April 4th 2025   Jaxson Hundt hat trick City's UDA Dev XI pulled off a stunning 10-1 win against their Newent Town counterparts at Meadow Park tonight. Caleb Thomas scored four goals whilst Jaxson Hundt got a hat trick. Captain Ty Lake finished the scoring. City : Reetz (Rodriguez 46), Alfred (Diaz 61), Caraftis (McDonald 62), Hundt, Jobe, Johnson, Lake, Moss (Marquez 19), Muir, Patterson (Worley 61), Thomas.
