Well done to the scumbags on motorbikes who have done this to the Top pitch meaning 3 youth games have had to be called off today. The club tries so hard with no budget to help in the local community & this is what we get in return.

Everyone at Sholing sends all our love to Kevin Brewster as he recovers in hospital.
Brewy's partner, Gemma, has contacted us, saying that given the circumstances, he is recovering well, but has many months of treatment & rehabilitation ahead to make a full recovery.

Such a shame the

no longer covers any non league. Very baffling & disappointing, considering other smaller local papers still support their clubs. Yet, the dozens of clubs in & around Southampton get no coverage 🤷♂️
All the very best to Sholing legend, Barry Mason

who today announced he's hung up the boots to focus on his son's football development. Baz was the original Mason, making 556 appearances & scoring 132 goals for the Boatmen. Thanks for the memories Barry

Day started at 8am helping get the ground ready & finishes 16 hours later, going through hundreds of notifications after a mad, brilliant game. It's why we do this.
It's not all glory, but more football fans should get involved in their local grassroots clubs.
Desperately sad news that Ray Tyrrell has passed away. Ray (2nd left in the pic) was such a lovely bloke who did so much at Sholing. Running the bar for years, providing refreshments for soccer schools & so much more. All our love & thoughts to the Tyrrell family xx RIP Ray 🖤

@alton_fc
for joining in the guard of honour 👏
Lads gave their all & despite playing 77 mins with 10 men were the better team but the deflected goal was a killer.
We can be very proud of our run in the Vase & the way the team played. Gutting to go out but we hold our heads up high.

A typical MOTM display from Robin Nicholls yesterday on probably his last appearance for Sholing.
We are very sad to see Rob go, but wish him all the best on taking up the role of Sunderland's Academy manager.
