ichmond Town is a terrific example of a club that
plays an important role in their local community
with their first team currently competing in the
Wearside League. They are led by Chairman Stephen Andrews
who is supported by Secretary James Conway and the club is
looking to progress under their guidance.
Last season it would be fair to say that their first team did not
perhaps enjoy the campaign that they would have liked as they
put together a record of eleven wins, six draws and twenty one
defeats from their 38 matches. This saw them finish in the bottom
half of the table with 39 points on the board.
They are on target to improve this time around, having
compiled a record of six wins, three draws and seven defeats
from their fourteen matches. This sees them sitting in a mid-table
position with 21 points up to now.
This should provide the team with a solid platform upon
which to build as they look ahead to the second half of the
campaign. So long as they are able to keep the current group of
players together they will have a good chance of pushing on up
the table.
A major highlight of the team’s performances has been the
attacking brand of football that they have been producing. This
is reflected in the fact that they have already racked up 32 goals
in the league alone at a rate of 2 per game.
This will certainly have made sure that any supporters
attending their matches will have been well entertained and
should encourage more of the local community to get behind
them in the future. This in in turn has the potential to provide
the club with a valuable source of additional revenue which is
particularly important in the current financial climate.

One reason for the club to be optimistic about the future is
the superb youth section that they have in place. This part of
the club looks to provide youngsters from the local area with an
opportunity to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment
whilst helping them to reach their full potential.
Richmond Town is a club demonstrating what can be
achieved through a superb set up off the field. Hopefully they
will be able to continue in the same manner for many years to
come and Sport in Profile Magazine wishes them the best of luck.
