Marston Green
FOOTBALL CLUB
Marston Green FC has enjoyed a fine season and will be working hard during
the off-season to make sure they can continue to progress. Football Focus
Magazine recently caught up with Club Representative Kim Clarke to find out
more about how they have been getting along lately.
Involvement
Kim told us, “I have been at the club for five years
now firstly as a player/parent and then more recently as
club secretary. The club is local to where I live and has
always had a reputation of being a club that has a family
feel and is all about the kids.”
The Role
“The most challenging part of the role is ensuring
that players, parents and coaches abide by FA rules and
regulations. Not everyone always agrees with these
so it’s about balancing expectation and reality. The
most rewarding part is when players approach you at
presentation evening excitedly wanting to share with
you what awards they have received. To see those smiles
makes it all worth it.”
Atmosphere
“The general mood is really good right now; it has
been a successful season with a couple of teams winning
cup competitions and our U15s team winning Division
1. There is a real push in the club now to move forward,
improve facilities and make Marston Green the local
team of choice. We have a great bunch of people on our
committee who are all committed to moving forward.”
This Season
Loaded with tech, with exclusive
design accents.
Official Sponsor: Marston Green F.C.
“This season has been a great season for the club, with
three teams winning cup competitions and our U15 team
winning the Division 1 Championship. We have some
great teams coming through at U7s also who regularly
tell you they are going to score 100 goals a game. There
is a real positive vibe around.”
2019
“We have just held our presentation evenings where
we celebrated the successes of the 18/19 season and
rewarded a number of players for loyalty to the club,
with a number achieving 5 and 10 year awards.
Focus now is on the new 19/20 season, building
new teams and strengthening our existing teams with
new players coming in all the time. We are applying
for a number of grants to develop and upgrade existing
facilities, so there is a lot of hard work ahead.”

“Youth football is the most important thing to
Marston Green as this is what we are all about. Providing
football opportunities to the youth in the local area in
an environment that encourages, develops and support
them inside and outside of football.”
