“The Alex Way is more than just sporting results”

Last week at our Managers’ Meeting, we talked about “The Alex Way.”

Not as a slogan. Not as something to stick on a poster.

But as something we want people to recognise in the way our players, coaches and teams behave.

And sometimes, the best way to explain it is simply to show it.

This week, the welfare lead from one of our newest teams, the U12 Tigers, shared a few moments with their players.

A boy noticing an old teammate sitting alone and upset at school — and choosing to sit with him.

Another putting an arm around a friend who hadn’t been selected for the school team.

And during a cricket match, a player seeing his football teammate struggling after making a mistake — despite being on the opposing cricket team — and walking over to give him a hug.

Different schools. Different sports. Different friendship groups.

Same instinct. Look after each other.

And THAT is The Alex Way.

It doesn’t matter what sport you’re playing, what team you’re representing, how old you are, where you come from, what you believe or which friendship group you belong to.

Because The Alex Way isn’t really about football.

It’s about recognising that all of us have the ability to make somebody else feel supported, included and valued.

Of course we want to win football matches. We’re a football club. Winning matters.

But winning comes in different forms.

And if the young people who eventually leave Alexandra United do so understanding that sometimes the most important thing they can do is notice somebody struggling and put an arm around their shoulder…

I’ll take that over a 6–0 win any day of the week.

And twice on Sundays.

🔴⚫ The Alex Way.

Respect. Responsibility. Sportsmanship.

Sometimes the biggest victories don’t appear on the results page.

🔴⚫ THE ALEX WAY — IN LIVING COLOUR

They lost 10–2.

And yet this might be one of our favourite messages from the weekend.

Alexandra United Whites began their league season today with just nine players.

No excuses. No throwing in the towel. They pulled on the shirt, crossed the white line and gave everything they had.

The final score was 10–2 to the opposition.

And afterwards, completely unsolicited, this message arrived from the league:

“The League have received some heart warming comments regarding your new team Alexandra United Whites… despite their shortage of numbers [they] gave it their best shot. All credit to them in the spirit of grassroots football.”

After losing 10–2.

That matters.

Because we talk a lot at Alexandra United about The Alex Way — respect, responsibility and sportsmanship; representing the badge properly whether you’re winning, losing or somewhere in between.

But perhaps the best moment of the afternoon showed that those values don’t belong to one club.

Making his debut for the Whites was George Taylor, who marked the occasion by scoring an absolute worldie.

And when George celebrated, members of the opposition joined in and celebrated with him.

Two teams. One of them heavily beaten. Still competing. Still enjoying football. Still recognising a great moment when they saw one.

That’s grassroots football.

The scoreline will go into the record books as 10–2.

But we’d argue there were considerably more important things to take home from this one.

Nine players who refused to give up.

Opponents who understood that you can compete without losing sight of why we all play the game.

And a league that took the time to recognise it.

The Alex Way — in living colour. ❤️🖤

Very proud of the Whites.

And huge credit to their opponents for playing their part in a pretty special afternoon of grassroots football. 👏⚽

⚽️ SATURDAY RESULTS ARE IN…

Well… nobody can accuse us of only posting when we win. 😂

A selection of today’s scores from around the Alex teams:

🔴⚫ Walton Warriors 5–0 U13 Corals
🔴⚫ Twickenham Saints 14–1 U9 Lynxes
🔴⚫ U11 Lionesses 1–5 Redhill White Pandas
🔴⚫ Caterham U13s 5–0 U13 Hornets
🔴⚫ U14 Robins 3–0 Opposition
🔴⚫ Oxshott 4–1 U10 All Stars
🔴⚫ U13 Mambas 1–1
🔴⚫ Cobras 1–8
🔴⚫ U15 Warriors 0–5 Richmond & Kew

Now, we could quietly lose the results sheet and pretend today never happened…

But where’s the fun in that? 😂

The U9 Lynxes discovered that Twickenham Saints have a player called Zidane who was apparently, and we quote, “mustard.” 🌭😂

The U15 Warriors played their first ever 11v11 match, without a recognised goalkeeper, and got their first taste of what the bigger pitch has in store.

The Mambas picked up a point.

And across the club, hundreds of Alex players pulled on the shirt, got back on a football pitch and started another season together.

Some Saturdays you score five.

Some Saturdays you concede five.

Occasionally you meet Zidane and concede fourteen. 🤷‍♂️😂

Results happen.

We celebrate the wins, learn from the defeats, enjoy the football and come back again next week.

Because one Saturday in September doesn’t define a season.

🔴⚫ Up the Alex.

🚭⚽ WE’RE IN!

Alexandra United is proud to support Surrey FA’s Smokefree Sidelines campaign.

From this season, we’re asking everyone attending matches and training across our club to help keep our sidelines free from smoking and va**ng.

This isn’t about judging anyone. It’s about creating the healthiest possible environment for our players and setting the right example for the young people watching us.

If you need to smoke or v**e, please step well away from the pitches and playing areas.

Clear air. Positive example. Football first.

Thank you for helping us do things The Alex Way.
