So Close… 🐍⚽️❤️

Another brilliant day for the Vipers at the Arley Cup.

The team topped their opening group with maximum points and three clean sheets, earning a place in the Champions Group against some very strong opposition.

The players rose to the challenge once again, finishing 2nd in the Champions Group to book another place in the final. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be this time, despite creating plenty of chances.

Goals today came from:
⚽️ Captain Hayton
⚽️ Hambridge
⚽️ Harris
⚽️ Norman
⚽️ Roux
⚽️ Khan

Another final, another fantastic team performance, and plenty to be proud of. Thank you to all the parents and supporters for your amazing encouragement.

Up the Vipers! 🐍 ⚽️ ❤️🔥

🐍 MATCHDAY TOMORROW! ⚽️

Tomorrow morning the AFC Barwell Vipers head to the Welford Victoria Cup, where we’ll be taking on some strong opposition.

We had a fantastic day at this tournament last year as an Under 6s team, so we’re delighted to be back this year competing as Under 7s.

Fingers crossed the temperatures cool down overnight so the team can get out there, work hard and show the Vipers spirit! 💪❤️

If you’re free, come along and support the team. Our first match kicks off at 10:00am.

There’s plenty going on for the whole family too, including a bouncy castle obstacle course, football darts, a BBQ and refreshments throughout the day.

Come along, cheer the team on and enjoy a great day of grassroots football!

Let’s go… UP THE VIPERS! 🐍⚽️❤️🔥

The AFC Barwell Vipers have some serious new drip for the 2026/27 season! 🐍⚽️

Custom designed and looking absolutely 🔥, we couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out.

We’ve worn it over the last couple of weeks and the comments from spectators have been amazing. It’s certainly caught a few eyes!

A huge thank you to FCD Sportswear for manufacturing such a fantastic kit. The quality and finish are top class.

We’d also like to say a massive thank you to our amazing sponsors for supporting the team this season:

Without your support, opportunities like this wouldn’t be possible for our players.

Here’s to another exciting season in the new colours!
