Smithton A.F.C

This past weekend we had our end of season awards, where we celebrated the positives of the past season, and especially the people who make it all possible, our players

Awards and winners on the night were:

Denon Jackman - Top Goal Scorer
Oliver Harris - Goal of the Season
Jonathan Martin - Unsung Hero
Imran Ali - Coaches player of the season
Matt Donald - Players player of the season

Well done to all our winners and the squad in general for sticking by the team during a difficult campaign

We also announced the new name and badge to the team to a great reception.

Huge thanks to Taran and the team at Playback Inverness for hosting us and keeping us feed and watered, the food was great

Up the Smithton

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who has liked, shared and engaged with the rebranding, the support and feedback has been incredible and really shows us we are on the right path to creating an engaging community football team,

Some background on the choices in the badge, as some of you have asked,

We decided to use the Shackleton bomber for our logo to honour the RAF Shackleton which crash landed in the centre of Smithton in 1964, thankfully nobody was hurt and the rumour is the RAF soldiers were taken back to the Green hall and given that warm Smithton Welcome.

The ruins of the Shackleton are rumoured to be buried beneath the ground and is now celebrated with the Shackleton Memorial Plaque .

🔵🟡 A NEW CHAPTER BEGINS… 🔵🟡

We’re delighted to officially announce that G16 United A.F.C. will now be known as Smithton A.F.C

A new name, a new identity, but the same ambition, togetherness and passion for the game.

Over the new few weeks and months we will share more on our Story, our mission and those who have helped get us here.

Welcome to Smithton A.F.C. 💙💛

One Club. One Community. One Goal.

We just wanted to take a moment to say, Thank You, to all our Sponsors! 🙌⚽

While its been a difficult season on the pitch, your love and support have been incredible in helping the club function and allows us to get the guys on the pitch playing football! 💙

Your generosity helps us provide the vital equipment and resources our players need, from matchday essentials and footballs to training equipment and everything in between.

Grassroots football simply wouldn’t be possible without the support of local businesses and organisations like you.

We’re incredibly grateful to have you on board and proud to have your support.

We've already began work on next season, and have our awards night planned for a couple weeks time, keep an eye out for pictures and your award winners,

Once again, thank you to the Sponsors for all you do for Grassroots football,

We are also on the look out for sponsors for the next season and are considering a name change should anyone be interested in coming forward with ideas,

That concludes our 2026 Season,

Its definitely been a season of disappointment but a turn up of performances in the 2nd half showed real fight and character going into next season, hopefully this time with less injuries we can push up the table and show what we are capable off,

Thanks once again to all our incredible sponsors who made 2026 a real possibility

We will hopefully be participating in a new Winter League over the coming months as a chance to refresh in the mean time the coaching staff wanted to thank all our players, and fans for sticking with us and showing real pride despite the results, thank you all

If anyone is interested in joining G16 United, fire the group a DM or any of the coaches, we have a kickabout every Monday and plans for plenty of friendlies,

Thanks
