AFC Coventry

AFC Coventry The Lions 🦁
Per Angusta ad Augusta - Through difficulties to Great Things What makes this club different from the rest, you may ask?

Formally known as Orchard Athletic F.C, the newly formed AFC Coventry are a Coventry & Warwickshire based Amateur Football Club looking to achieve success the right way, operating all year round as an outfit very much in the mix at the league level and hugely successful in such a short space of time at tournament level. The difference with 'our' club is we are a private and independent outfit curr

ently self-funded where all of the major decisions are made not by a committee or council of any kind but by YOU, the Players hence we call our self 'The Players Club'. In fact, the Club was founded in 2012 by Two of the original Players on the Books, Mr Padda and Mr Sandhu of Exhall and Coventry, respectively both Chairmen continue running the outfit with the above ethos in mind and with the ambition to take the outfit onto a bigger and better stage. The decision to allow players to vote for how they want the club to operate was made to limit the chance of any politics or any obligation to a committee or hierarchy, which often in many outfits don't see what is going on at grassroots level. The Club, in its initial season, started out in the Coventry & District Sunday League Division Senior 4. After several promotions over the years and the hunger for greater competition, and with the ambitions to enter the Midlands Football League, the Club now plays in The Coventry Saturday Alliance - Divison 1.

MATCHDAY 🦁

Second to last game of the season. Home. Under the lights of The Place. Everything still to play for.
Coventry Phoenix came to their ground earlier this season and got the better of us. Today is different. Today is our turf, our crowd, our moment.

The title race goes to the wire. The cup final is still to come. This group has unfinished business and every single one of us knows it.

Three points. Nothing else matters today.

Let’s go to work. 🔴⚫

NEXT MATCH | AFC COVENTRY vs COVENTRY PHOENIX FC

We’ve been quiet. We’ve been working. 🦁

Sorry for the silence on here - the focus has been on the pitch and that’s exactly where it needed to be. But we’re back, and we’ve got a big one to talk about.

Saturday. Home. Coventry Phoenix.

Phoenix earlier in the season beat us - that result has sat with us ever since. They are a well organised, dangerous side and they will come to The Place with nothing to lose. We respect that. But this is our home, and we have everything to play for.

Two league games left. The title race is going to the wire. Every minute, every tackle, every chance counts. We treat this exactly the same as we have treated every game this season - like a cup final.

And then there’s the actual cup final still to come. This group has a chance to make 2 trophies this season. Empty handed is not an option.

Come down Saturday and roar us on. The Lions need you. 🦁❤️

MAN OF THE MATCH | BADRU RAJAB 🏅

1 goals. 3 assists. In a 7-0 win.

On his day, there is nobody in this league that can live with him. And today was very much his day.

Badru joined this club as a teenager and week by week, month by month, he has grown into exactly the player we knew he could be. Hard working, relentless, never gives a defender a moment’s rest. 21 appearances this season. 12 goals. 12 assists. Numbers that speak for themselves - but anyone who watches him week in week out knows the stats only tell half the story.

Arguably his best performance in an AFC Coventry shirt. And the best part? He is only getting started.
One of the first names on the team sheet. One of our own. 🦁

FULL TIME | AFC COVENTRY 7-0 BRINKLOW FC
That’s how we do it. 🦁

Injuries in the camp, players carrying knocks and we still put seven past them without taking our foot off the gas for a single minute. That is the character of this squad. Whoever pulls on the shirt grafts, fights, and bleeds AFC Coventry. No excuses, no drop in intensity. Just football.
Spectacular goals, relentless pressing, and a performance that sent a message to everyone watching the table.

🏅 Man of the Match: Badru Rajab - what a player. 1 BANNGER and three assists. Everywhere on that pitch, and impossible to stop.

Three more points. Two games to go. The Lions are not done yet.

Top of the table. But we haven’t won a thing yet.

This group knows better than anyone what it feels like to be in this position and come away empty handed. Runners up. Lost finals. So close, so many times. That hurt lives with us - and it drives us every single week.
We have a free weekend while the rest of the league goes to work around us. We watch, we rest, and we come back sharper ready travel away to Coventry Copsewood FC on the 28th. Four games remain and every single one gets treated the same - like a cup final.

No celebrations. No looking ahead. Just the next three points.

The job isn’t done until it’s done. 🦁

The changing room. The warm-up. The battle. The goal. The huddle.

This is what Saturdays are made of. 🦁

FULL TIME | AFC COVENTRY 1-0 FOLLY LANE

Job done. Three more points in the bag.

A 1-0 scoreline that tells only half the story. The first half was a battle - we soaked the pressure, stayed organised, and kept our shape. Second half? All one direction. We were relentless, we were clinical, and they simply could not live with us. Their keeper was outstanding - pulling off save after save, denying us in one-on-ones, keeping them in it far longer than they deserved. On another day this is a very different scoreline. They even had a penalty to get back into it and couldn’t take it.

But that’s football. We take the clean sheet, we take the three points, and we move on.

Habib Balogun with the goal that mattered. Badru Rajab our Man of the Match. The whole squad should be proud - but we know it’s not job done. Four league games remain and we treat every single one the same way.

Head down. Stay hungry. Next one.
