Forever in our hearts, Ben.

A huge thank you to Jamie and everyone at Shield Scaffolding for sponsoring our Southmead FC Presentation Weekend.

The stage they provided wasn’t just somewhere to hand out trophies - it became the centrepiece of the weekend. Having a professional, high-quality stage made such a difference, giving all of our players, coach and volunteers their moment in the spotlight and helping create an occasion our community can be proud of.

Community football is about so much more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about creating memories, celebrating achievements and bringing people together, and support from local businesses like Shield makes that possible.

And while football might not have come home this summer… 🏆🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿… it certainly came to Southmead! We had an incredible weekend celebrating our players, families and volunteers, with smiles, trophies and champions everywhere you looked.

Thank you again to everyone at Shield Services Group for your continued support of our club and our community. We couldn’t do it without partners like you.

Southmead Ladies FC begin preparations for an exciting new season, and we’d love to welcome some new faces into the squad.

Whether you’ve played at a high level for years, are getting back into football after some time away, or you’ve never kicked a ball before but want to give it a go, there’s a place for you at Southmead.

We’re looking for:
⚽ Experienced players looking for a competitive and ambitious environment.
⚽ New players wanting to learn the game in a welcoming, supportive team.
⚽ Players of all positions.

Our focus is on developing players, enjoying our football and continuing to build a fantastic team spirit both on and off the pitch.

Bring your boots, bring a friend, and come and see what Southmead Ladies FC is all about.

We’re looking to arrange a few pre-season friendlies on the following dates:

📅 12th, 13th, 19th, 26th, 27th or 30th August

We’re ideally looking to play away, although we can host towards the end of August if needed.

We’re particularly looking to play Somerset County Women’s League sides or Gloucestershire County Women’s League Division 2 or Division 3 teams to provide the right level of opposition ahead of the new season.

If your team has availability on any of these dates, drop us a message and let’s get something arranged.

Please feel free to share with any clubs that might be interested. 💚🤍

⚽️ First Team Manager Opportunity ⚽️

Southmead Ladies FC is looking for a leader who believes in more than just results.

We’re searching for someone who can help drive the club forward, build a positive culture, and create an environment where players can develop and succeed. With a strong foundation already in place, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of the team.

Looking ahead, strengthening the pathway between our youth and senior sections will become increasingly important over the next few years. We’re keen to find someone who recognises the value of this progression and can help ensure the club continues to grow sustainably for the future.

As we prepare for the new season, we’re also looking for an injection of new players into the squad. The successful candidate will be enthusiastic about recruitment, player development, and building a competitive team spirit both on and off the pitch.

If you’re an ambitious coach or manager who enjoys developing players, building culture, and being part of a community-focused club, we’d love to hear from you.

📩 Get in touch to find out more and discuss how you could help lead the next chapter of Southmead FC.

A little late, but one worth celebrating… 🏆💚

Bournemouth 7’s Champions! After a brilliant weekend of football back in May, we held our nerve to win the final on penalties.

A huge effort from every player from start to finish. What a way to end the tournament! 💪⚽️

🏆 PRESENTATION WEEKEND IS FINALLY HERE! 🏆

After a long season of hard work, commitment, ups, downs and countless unforgettable moments, it’s finally time for the whole Southmead FC family to come together and celebrate everything we’ve achieved.

This weekend is about far more than collecting trophies. It’s about recognising every player, coach, volunteer, parent, sponsor and supporter who has played their part in another fantastic season for our club.

Across the last year we’ve celebrated league titles, promotions, cup success, player development, memorable performances and, most importantly, continued to strengthen the culture that makes Southmead FC such a special club. From our youngest Mini Ballers taking their first steps into football, right through to our adult teams competing week in, week out, every single team has contributed to another brilliant chapter in our club’s story.

A huge thank you goes to shieldservicesgroupuk for once again sponsoring this year’s Presentation Weekend.

Let’s come together to celebrate another memorable season and everything that makes Southmead FC so special.

💚🤍 One Club. Stronger Together. 💚🤍
