Sheldwich F.C. was delighted to take part in the Sheldwich School Summer Fair this June, setting up an inflatable assault course stall that brought hours of laughter and excitement for the children and parents.

Our squad, families, and volunteers ran non-stop throughout the day, and together we raised over £250 for the PTA - a wonderful boost to help equip the school and support upcoming projects.

A big shout-out to everyone who joined in the fun, took on the challenge, and supported our efforts! We’re proud to stand alongside the school community – showing what happens when footballers give back both on and off the pitch.

Several of the S.F.C. squad got a chance to show that they could perform off the pitch as well as they perform on it, with the PTA hosted quiz night at Sheldwich Village Hall. With an impressive range of general knowledge between them, the quiz squad blitzed the movie and music rounds and also showed some great lateral thinking to score very highly on the rebus puzzles.

A well played wildcard on the sports round really pushed the S.F.C. brains to the top of the scoreboard and Sheldwich Football Club came away winners on the night!

Needless to say, the quiz trophy (unavailable on the night unfortunately for our winners photo), will be taking pride of place in our trophy cabinet. Fun all round, and money raised for the PTA as a bonus.

March saw Sheldwich F.C. host a lively internal friendly under bright skies at our home ground, Aquatherm Stadium. With players split across two sides, the match was packed with competitive spirit, cracking goals, and plenty of sideline banter — a great chance to test fitness, try out new formations, and just enjoy the game together.

We were also pleased to be joined on the day by Rob from Howdens Faversham, one of our valued club sponsors. It was brilliant to show him the energy of the squad in action and to chat through some of the club’s goals and future ambitions.

A big thank you to Rob and Howdens for their ongoing support — it means a great deal to the team and community alike.

We’ll be looking to host more of these internal fixtures throughout the year, helping to keep sharpness high and spirits even higher.

In February, we were thrilled to welcome talented local photographer Molly from @wildmeadowphoto to one of our fixtures — and the results speak for themselves. From flying tackles to goal celebrations, Molly captured the energy, grit, and character of Sheldwich F.C. in full flow.

Her action shots from the day have been a massive hit with the squad (and their families), and it’s safe to say a few profile pictures have had a serious upgrade!

We’re incredibly grateful for her time and creativity, and we can’t wait to have her back at a future match or club event.

In late January, the Sheldwich F.C. squad gathered for a much-needed team night at our sponsor’s fantastic venue, Papa Bianco in Faversham. With the wood-fired ovens blazing and the smell of legendary pizza in the air, the evening offered the perfect backdrop to catch up, plan ahead, and celebrate how far we’ve come.

Between slices, we held an informal club meeting where players and committee members discussed our progress so far, future plans for growth, and exciting ideas for strengthening our community presence both on and off the pitch.

The evening was a great mix of focus and fun — reflecting the spirit of what Sheldwich F.C. is all about: a shared passion for football, community, and the people who make it special.

A huge thank you to Papa Bianco for the warm hospitality (and the truly outstanding pizza). We’re proud to have such an incredible local business backing us, and we’re already looking forward to the next visit!

After a well-earned festive break, Sheldwich F.C. returned to the pitch in January with renewed focus and frozen fingertips. Pre-season-style drills, some warming practice matches, and a few muddy boots have marked a strong start to 2025… 

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new two-year sponsorship agreement with Papa Bianco, who will proudly serve as our primary shirt sponsor.

Papa Bianco has been a steadfast supporter of Sheldwich F.C. since our very inception, and this partnership marks another milestone in our growing relationship. Their commitment has been instrumental in helping us thrive both on and off the pitch.

Looking ahead, we are eager to celebrate club events with the Papa Bianco team in the new year, fostering stronger ties and sharing in the community spirit that makes Sheldwich F.C. special.

Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to visit Papa Bianco to show your support for the local business helping to power our club!

Up the Sheldwich!

This week, representatives of Sheldwich F.C. were honoured to attend a "Thank You Coffee Morning" hosted by Sheldwich Primary School. The event was a heartwarming celebration, where the headteacher expressed gratitude for the club's fundraising contributions, which continue to make a positive impact on the school community.

In a festive atmosphere, attendees—including parent helpers, the PTA, and members of the school board—were treated to a series of delightful Christmas performances. The pupils showcased their talents, with highlights including an enchanting performance by the school choir.

We’re proud to be part of such a vibrant and supportive local community. A big thank you to the school for such a memorable morning!

We are delighted to announce that Howdens Faversham has joined the Sheldwich F.C. family as our new secondary shirt sponsor. Their logo will take pride of place on our away kit, adding a touch of class as we take to the field this season.

Howdens Faversham’s support extends beyond the pitch. They have generously donated wonderful items as raffle prizes for the Sheldwich Primary School PTA, further showcasing their commitment to our community.

We’re excited to have Howdens Faversham on board and look forward to building a strong partnership that benefits both our club and the wider Sheldwich community.

Thank you, Howdens Faversham, for backing Sheldwich F.C. in style!

Up the Sheldwich!
