Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we want to remind everyone in our Romans family that it’s okay not to be okay.

Football is about more than what happens on the field. It’s about community, friendship, support and having people in your corner.

You don’t have to face things alone. Whether you’re struggling yourself or worried about someone you care about, start the conversation. Check in. Listen. Be there.

Sometimes, a simple “Are you okay?” can mean more than you realise.

Talk. Listen. Support.

If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone you trust. Drop us a message or reach out to a professional service. There is always someone willing to listen.

MIND: 0300 102 1234 (9AM-6PM)
Samaritans: 116 123 (24hr)
CALM: 0800 58 58 58 (5pm - Midnight)

We are Romans. We look after our own.

The team behind the team.

The Chester Romans aren't just built on what happens on on the field.

Behind every game day, training session, new player, social post and season is a team of people working hard to make it all happen.

We're looking for new people to join the Chester Romans Committee and become part of the team behind the team.

Whether you've been around the Romans for years or you're completely new to the club, if you've got ideas, skills, enthusiasm or simply want to get involved, we'd love to hear from you.

Defence - This week there were two players worthy of the Defensive MVP honours.
Congratulations to Mike Henderson & Callum Johnston. Both players absolutely dominated the field on Sunday, with both recording INT's and CJ taking one back for a score.

Offensive MVP goes to Josh Richmond who had an outstanding day at QB, throwing for multiple TDs and helping the team score big in the final game.

Special Teams MVP award goes to Rory Mansfield who threw for his second TD pass of the season with another trick play. What a way to cap of his final game.
