ABOUT US |
|
Sovereign Saints FC was formed in June 2003 by Paul Garnell. The aim of the club was to offer football to all and not just the gifted players. The club was started with just 6 players, 4 bibs and a few footballs. An Under 9 team was put together for the start of the 2003/04 season and although this team took time to settle, it was clear that Saints had created a very special club. The following season an Under 8 team was added, and well the rest is a story of continued growth and success. Now into its third decade the Club is bigger and stronger than ever before, and the 2025/26 season promises to be another great one. Not only will Saints continue to provide football to over 250 children in teams at virtually all age groups from U7 to U18, but we also continue to see growing numbers in our two trainee groups for younger players (aged 4 to 6). At the senior end of Club we run a Men’s 1st Team that compete at intermediate level in the Mid Sussex Football League, and a Reserve Team that has just moved over to the same league in Division 3 South. Both teams have new Management Teams in place for this season and I am very excited about what we can achieve this season. It also continues to please me to see so many youth team players progressing to play for both of these teams. With so many teams in the Club it is so pleasing that each and every one of them has been able to secure sponsorship to fund their playing kit and to all of the Club’s sponsors a huge THANK YOU. Our 2025 Tournament, held at St Catherine’s College at the end of July, was by far our biggest and most successful yet, and the feedback we have received from teams that attended has been incredible. We are already planning for our 2026 event which we hope will be just as good - The Club’s motto is: Paul Garnell Chairman |
“Oh when the Saints...Oh when the Saints... Oh when the Saints go marching in... I want to be there with Garnell, When the Saints go marching in!” |
