Norfolk Park FC

End of Year Standings 🔴⚫️
We sit 6th as the year wraps up, 10 games played, 6 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, +19 GD, 20 points.

Deck is leading the line as our top goal scorer, and we’re still in the League Cup. Plenty to play for in 2026!

We’ve come a long way in just one and a half seasons. The team is gelling, playing for each other, keeping a great attitude… and most importantly, having a laugh along the way.

Big thanks to our training top sponsors:
Front: (our very own )
Back: 2B Cars

These tops are temporarily doubling as our match kit while we wait on the new kit for the year

Here’s to finishing strong in the league and the cup - Happy New Year!

Much better performance this week and another well-deserved 3 points.

We started a little slow in the first half but still looked comfortable, playing some good football and taking an early 2–0 lead. Once we settled, we added another four goals before half-time to go in 6–0 up.

The second half was more of the same, dominating all over the pitch and adding another four goals to finish with a 10–0 win.

A great effort from all the lads today and a fully deserved result.

MOTM was Dale, with four assists and constant problems caused down the right-hand side—topped off with a goal of his own. Brilliant performance all round.

Decent performance from the lads today, though it definitely could have been better.

The first half was slow and sluggish, we struggled to get the ball down and play the football we wanted. Despite that, we managed to go into half-time 2–1 up.

In the second half we came alive, playing our football, controlling the game, and adding another four goals to seal a 6–1 win against AFC Sheffield. We face them again next week away from home, so hopefully another three points will follow.

A strong second-half display won us the game today.

MOTM was Brendan, who put in a fantastic shift at right-back, battled hard all game and let nothing get past him.

A tough one to take, but ultimately a deserved loss.

The first half was a very slow start from the lads, we couldn’t get out of first gear and didn’t look like we wanted it. After a positive 15-minute spell, we managed to score two quick goals, but Seven Hills responded with two of their own, taking us into half-time at 2–2.

The second half was much the same as the first. We never really got going, and Seven Hills added another two goals. We pulled one back late on, but it wasn’t enough.

FT: 4–3 Norfolk Park
A deserved win for them in the end.

Aside from that 15-minute spell, we didn’t deserve anything from this game. We need to be better. With a week off now, we can reset, reflect, and bounce back as we face AFC Sheffield next.

Wow, just wow. What a way to progress in the cup!
We’ve knocked out last year’s winners and current Premier Division leaders, in an absolute thriller.

We started strong, full of confidence, creating chance after chance, and two deflected crosses saw us go 2–0 up at half-time.

The second half began just as brightly, but Birley hit back with one before we quickly restored control with two more goals to make it 4–1. Credit to them though, they showed why they’re champions, fighting back to lead 5–4.

But we didn’t give up. With the last kick of the game, Shuk managed to squeeze one past the keeper to level it at 5–5 and send us to penalties.

After an incredible 90 minutes of football, we held our nerve, winning 3–0 on pens, with our number 1 Adam making a vital save and the other two Birley efforts going over the bar.

Absolutely speechless after that one, a well-deserved and hard-fought win for the lads.

MOTM: 🏆 nonstop running, constant threat, and created chance after chance. A nightmare for the Birley defence all game.

Great game from the lads today, bringing home another three points as we climb up the table.

In the first half, we started on the front foot, creating plenty of chances. We took the lead early with left-footed strike, putting us 1-0 up. However, just before halftime, an accidental handball in the box gave the opposition a chance to equalize, and we went into the break 1-1.

We didn’t let the equalizer affect us in the second half. We came out even stronger, creating more chances, and scored four more goals: one from , a rocket from from 30 yards, and two from Deck, seeing us win 5-1.

Overall, a fantastic performance from the lads. We were too dangerous in the second half for Alumni.

MOTM goes to our LB, Lawal who never let anyone past him today and was like a rock in the backline.

Next up for the lads is Sheffield Alumni and the lads are looking to bring home another 3 points

Squad Announcement for tomorrows league match against top of the league

Norfolk started brightly, playing some sharp football and threatening in behind the Ecclesfield back line. Slick interplay between , Harrison, and saw Dale break through before his cross-come-shot found Deck, who tapped in from close range.

Norfolk doubled their lead soon after with a well-worked free kick from , which cleverly flicked into an empty net. They continued to press until half-time, and a fantastic reflex save from ensured Norfolk went in 2–0 up.

The second half began with Norfolk again on the front foot, threatening down both flanks, but they were caught on the counter — a dangerous cross deflected in off Brendan for an own goal. Despite the setback, Norfolk stayed composed, and when Ade was brought down in the box, Deck stepped up to convert calmly from the spot and make it 3–1 with half an hour to play.

Norfolk kept pushing, with missing a sitter from a yard out and a clear penalty appeal waved away. Ecclesfield grabbed a late goal from a free kick after some poor defending, but Norfolk remained solid to see out the win.

A strong performance overall, with a few tactical tweaks in the second half helping Norfolk secure the victory and progress to the next round of the cup.

We started off strong, dominating the ball for the first 20 minutes and not giving them a sniff. We went 1-0 up, but then they pulled one back and, for some reason, all heads dropped. They added a second before was sent off, but we dug in and managed to pull it back with an equaliser.

It wasn’t our best game, but certainly not our worst. grabbed both goals, and while it’s too early to say if it was a point gained or two dropped, coming back from a goal down with 10 men — we’ll take it.
