RUSSELLERS FC ARE IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR NEW PLAYERS/TEAMS WHO'D LIKE TO JOIN US AND PLAY UNDER THE RUSSELLERS UMBRELLA. PLEASE LOOK UNDER CLUB NEWS FOR DETAILS....
JUST A SMALL JOKE TO START OFF (no player was hurt in the writing of this):
'I understand you're a member of the Russellers football team,' said a visiting uncle to ten-year-old Johnny. 'What position do you play?' 'I'm not sure,' answered the boy, 'but I think I heard our manager say that I was the team's main drawback.'
(this joke does not reflect on Russellers FC's managerial ethos!)
Russellers FC are located at The Chislehurst Sports & Country club in Elmstead lane near to Elmstead woods, this home ground replaced their previous grounds at Hextable.
Russellers FC teams range from Seniors all the way down to Under 7's, we run a friendly club with all managers holding a Level 1 and a CPW/CRB certificate.
I (Steve) have only been involved as a committee member for the club for about a year now and I am still astounded by the 'commitment' the committee put into the day to day-week to week-month to month-year to year running of such a large organisation as this. Just as every other club all members and managers etc are purely volunteers but this isn't reflected in their passion which is priceless, just a few examples:
Our Chairman-Dave Pitman is a proud sponser of Russellers who has a son who plays for us too, Dave's time is spent goalside keeping an eye on play most weekends.
Dave Fone is the clubs Vice chairman and club secretary, I challenge you to find another man who knows more about the running of a club as he does-his knowledge is second to none and everyone in the game both from Russellers and beyond has deep respect for him.
Simon Perrot is the clubs treasurer, Simon has been involved with Russellers for years and keeps tabs on the clubs finances-a huge juggling act-a job he gives 100% to! his and Dave Fone's combined club knowledge gives Russellers an enviable edge, both also have sons who play within the club.
The Home Grounds Clubhouse has fantastic facilities with a fully stocked bar and an upstairs hall for hire (this isn't bookable via the team but via Patrick-the most accomodating chap I know) social events are booked throughout the year by the lovely Denise O'Shea-the clubs Social Secretary all of which are very well attended and always a great success.
