Ancaster Athletic Football Club

08/06/2026

What a season for our 20th anniversary! Saturday closed off, what was a memorable year.

The season started off with major work on the pitches with the summer droughts killing off grass, meaning we had to delay home fixtures until after we had seeded the pitches again.

Due to our successful FA pitch care application over 6 years! 🥳 we could afford to buy the seed and fert to help our pitches that we share with our cricket club. We were patient, the weather came and we saw recovery - thank god!

We managed to get 2 teams out for the Boxing Day match, which didn’t disappoint. I’ve only just recovered from being in goal for 20 minutes and Harrison stopped walking like John Wayne in early April 🤣.

Kirsty Dowling single handedly got our cafe back up and running, opening most Saturdays and Sundays so we could feed and water very hungry and thirsty match day parents! 😀 Thank you x.

Becca Rushby stepped up to become club welfare officer. A role that holds so much importance for an impartial and fairly ran football club, working on the committee to support all of the players, coaches and parents. Thank you x.

Abi Cullum continued the great work as club secretary, working tirelessly to make sure that we are well versed and prepped to carry out our responsibilities as club officials, working across all 4 leagues that we represent - YEL, Mid Lincs, SGFYL and Boston. Thank you x.

Dan Brister, stepping up as club vice chairman as well as helping to guide the u13’s girls team to an amazing first season; becoming runners up in the Lincs Girls league as well as an amazing success in the Lincs Girls u13’s Trophy at Grimsby Borough FC. Thank you.

Andy Cullum & Colin Blankley had an amazing season in the Boston Premiership followed up by a Lincs Cup Final win to bring back an historical cup for the first time in our history, beating Wyberton 3-1. Thank you.

I cannot also not thank enough our coaches at every age grLouise Nicholls-AllenmKirstie Nicholls-AllengSam WalkerKieran RushbyMichael HintonJake KyberdGaron HarrisonNathan FlowerNeil JamesonFiona Elizabeth Greenon HarrisonNathan FlowerNeil JamesonFiona Elizabeth Green Miles Mason Dave Ainsworth Kai Brownhill. Sorry if I can’t find you to add - you are very much appreciated. Thank you x.

Thank you all!! Without you and your players, parents and helpers, we have no club. We are lucky, special and proud to be “little old Ancaster” - punching well above our weight in football terms!

And long may it continue. . . 💙⚽️💙⚽️

One of the proudest days ever. Our under 13’s girls team (our first ever female group) winning the u13 Lincolnshire cup. A side that only started competing last year and the first league appearance this season. Just wow.

These girls are a bunch of heroes. Played like they’ve been together for years! Well done girls - super proud and on the girls football map forever ⚽️💙⚽️💙
