𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜… 𝗣𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝗖 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁𝘀’ 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 💜

Leading the First Team for a 4th season is Poundbury FC founder and Manager, James Driver. The club is his pride and joy, and his passion and commitment have been the driving force behind Poundbury FC’s growth year after year. The togetherness he’s built within the squad is a huge part of what makes the club so special.

Alongside him once again is Assistant Manager, Callum Hayes, also entering his 4th season with the club. Reliable, logical and always making smart decisions, Callum has become a huge part of the management setup and someone the team can always count on.

And finally, we’re excited to welcome Charlie Moore to the management team as First Team Coach for his debut season with Poundbury FC. Joining with a wealth of experience from coaching Dorchester Sports in the DPL, Charlie brings plenty of fresh ideas and knowledge to the club - another big step forward for Poundbury FC.

With this management team leading the way, we’re excited to see what the 2026/27 season has in store for the Firsts.

𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜… 𝗣𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗬 𝗙𝗖 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘𝗦’ 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠 💜

Following last season’s success as First Team Coach, there was never any doubt about Kit’s appointment as Reserves Manager. His loyalty and dedication to the club are second to none, and we’re lucky to have him leading the side.

And then there’s Mr Nash himself — the glue that held the First Team together last season. With him set to spend some time out of action on the pitch next season due to injury, we’re buzzing to still have him involved with the club, and what better way than alongside Kit every week.

We can’t wait to see what the 2026/27 season brings for Poundbury FC, and with these two at the helm, the future of the Ressies is looking bright.

𝗣𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗬 𝗙𝗖 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗠:
𝘾𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙢, thankfully, has stayed firmly in the Wenger coat on the sideline this season and managed to avoid wearing a purple shirt. And judging by the fact we moved up a place in the table compared to last season… it was probably the right decision.
But in all seriousness, Callum’s been a massive part of keeping standards high this season and someone James trusts massively. And despite Southampton somehow ending up at Wembley twice this year - which shocked everyone - he’s still managed to keep his focus firmly on Poundbury too.

And 𝙆𝙞𝙩… well, usually you hear Kit before you see him. I’m pretty sure James originally hired him purely as his personal megaphone to shout at players from the sideline, but it turns out he’s actually pretty handy with warm-ups, game prep and everything in between. And in true Poundbury fashion, Kit stepped up in a time of need and even put a shirt on for the last game of the season - which honestly made us all question why we ever needed Moggy in the first place.

And finally… 𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧. Anyone who knows James knows he has huge aspirations for this club since way before it even formed as a club 3 season ago. The Reserves side next season is only the start. It’s really easy for everyone to turn up every week, and watch 22 men kick a football around and assume everything just magically fell into place. But what goes on behind the scenes is a huge amount of stress, time, dedication and financial contribution as well. James is always working behind the scenes with secret calls and meetings with the goal to become a full-scale football club one day with youth sides, female squads, its own pitches… and most importantly, a fully kitted out clubhouse.

So although the awards evening is about all the players and everyone who’s contributed this season, without them, there genuinely is no Poundbury FC.
So thank you Callum, thank you Kit, and thank you Driver. 🫡

𝙀𝙉𝘿 𝙊𝙁 𝙎𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙊𝙉 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱/𝟮𝟲 𝘼𝙒𝘼𝙍𝘿𝙎 🏆
A successful evening celebrating our players achievements and our club. A huge well done to the winners:

𝗧𝗢𝗣 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦𝗖𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥
A hat-trick again, winning Top Goalscorer for the third season running with 19 goals — two more than last season — as well as back-to-back hat-tricks this year too. 🎶 𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘺 🎶

𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗕𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘰𝘵 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘯
Els is always putting the club before himself, guaranteed to make you laugh (at him and with him), and the best lino you could ask for. Derek Richard on the back of the shirt next season.

𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘓𝘶𝘪𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘴𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩
From often being on the bench at the start of the season to becoming a regular in the starting 11. You can always count on Bos for headers, hungover or not.

𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗥’𝗦 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘉𝘦𝘯 𝘋𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳
Our supporters follow us home and away and know the players well. Dunster was a clear winner in the votes thanks to his commitment travelling from Exeter every week and being the voice of the team.

𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘚𝘢𝘮 𝘔𝘰𝘨𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘨𝘦
If Moggy’s in the squad, we’re pretty much guaranteed a win, and that’s why we love him (and desperate for him to stay next season 🙏🏼). Despite moving to Southampton mid-season, he still makes the effort every week.

𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥’𝗦 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘋𝘢𝘯 𝘕𝘢𝘴𝘩
Dan’s had a massive influence on the club this season, bringing a positive attitude every week and helping attract several players to the club after he signed. This is the gaffa’s way of recognising his contribution on and off the pitch.

𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥’𝗦 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗥𝗗: 𝘞𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥
Arguably the best award of them all, as it comes from the players themselves. This award has gone to the man who’s carried us through multiple games this season, and the votes showed exactly that.

Thank you to everyone who came along, and to The Poet Laureate for hosting and providing the food. We’re looking forward to what the 2026/27 season will bring ⚽️

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲: 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘣𝘺 𝘗𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘺 𝘍𝘊 𝘔𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳, 𝘑𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳 🔈

We conclude the 2025/26 season with a mid-table finish in a strong Division 2 league. We knew this season would be tough, with the number of Reserve sides in the division and never quite knowing what we’d be facing each week. However, the lads have done themselves and the club proud with the way they’ve handled every game and the successes they’ve achieved — notably our cup run, where we beat two teams from the league above.

The club now moves forward with our Reserves side being founded and ready to begin in the 2026/27 season, giving more local lads the opportunity to join what we believe is a great club.

We look forward to returning stronger next season with two teams representing Poundbury FC.

Thank you to our players, sponsors, and fellow clubs in the league for a fantastic 2025/26 season — and here’s to 2026/27 for both our teams ⚽️

We’re excited to announce that Poundbury FC will be entering a Reserves side for the 2026/27 season ⚽️

There’s plenty more in the pipeline too… and we’re excited to share more in due course 👀

𝗦𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗙𝗖 𝟱 – 𝟭 𝗣𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗬 𝗙𝗖

Poundbury’s season came to a close with a 5–1 defeat away at Sturminster Marshall.

With little left to play for and low numbers, Poundbury faced a side still battling to avoid relegation - and it showed, with Sturminster Marshall fully deserving all three points.

Shoutout to 𝘏𝘢𝘺𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘰𝘯, who made his debut in goal - certainly one to remember!

That result brings the 2025/26 season to an end A we now look forward to the End of Season presentation evening on 15th May, followed by some well-earned R&R before pre-season begins again in July.
