With 2025 coming to a close, we wanted to share some stats about what has been our most successful year as a football club to date.  Across two seasons our first team played 50 matches in all competitions, with a record of 31 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses, picking up 78 points from a possible 117 in league games - a strong total when you consider the level of opposition we have come up against. In those 50 games, Stanway have scored 107 goals and conceded just 47, leaving our yearly goal difference at +60. With an average of over 2 goals a game and less than one conceded , the players and management staff continue to give themselves the best opportunity to win week after week, and full credit must go to everyone involved for the hard work shown on the training ground and pitch come matchday. Rovers have also picked up 18 clean sheets in that time, equalling to just over 1 in every 3 games or 36%.  In April, Stanway clinched the Essex Senior League title - gaining promotion to Step 4 of non league for the first time in the clubs long history. A goal in which manager Jamie Shaw had set out to achieve, since he was first appointed in October 2023. As the start of the 2025-26 season had come around, Stanway were seeing plenty of cup success, winning three tough games in the FA Cup to reach the Second Round Qualifying for the first time. Unfortunately we fell to a narrow 2-0 defeat to Maldon & Tiptree, but this was more records broken and definitely something to be proud of on reflection.  Alongside the FA Cup, a brilliant run in the FA Trophy saw Rovers reach the first round proper in our debut season! Another campaign where we had to win three games to get there, but this team knows no limits as they made history once again.  The back end of 2025 saw us begin our very first Isthmian Division One North league season, and with 23 games played so far - 11 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses - we sit in a very healthy 5th position. A fantastic second half of the season awaits… Of course, none of this could be done without the hard work, generosity and hard work of staff, volunteers, sponsors and supporters alike, and for that we are truly grateful to all of you.  Here is to more success in 2026! #WeAreStanway  Stanway Rovers Football Club, in proud partnership with: FND Group LTD: website here KMCO Group: website here Andreas Carter Sports: website here Also see here for all other sponsors of SRFC: link to all of our sponsors

Dick Degville Message from the chairman of Stanway Rovers Football Club. "It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Club President, Mr Richard (Dick) Degville. Dick left us early on the morning of Monday 20th October 2025, surrounded by his loving family.   Dick was the heartbeat of Stanway Rovers, a true legend who dedicated his life to our club. From humble beginnings in the Colchester and District League to our current standing, Dick was the driving force behind our progression. He wore many hats – team manager, club secretary, and ultimately, club president – but his passion and commitment remained unwavering.   His tireless efforts secured the lease for our cherished home, The Hawthorns, and he played a pivotal role in building our clubhouse, a hub of community and camaraderie. Dick's larger-than-life personality, infectious enthusiasm, and generosity of spirit touched us all.   Our thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with Dick's family during this incredibly difficult time. He will be profoundly missed, but his legacy will live on through the club he loved and served so devotedly."

Stanway are thrilled to confirm that George Okoye  has re-signed for the upcoming 2025/26 campaign, as we prepare for our debut season at Step 4 in the Isthmian League . After spending pre-season on trial with other clubs, George has made the decision to return to Stanway—where he played a vital role during the 2024/25 season. 🗣️ “This team is going places, and I’ll be here to help every bit that I can… job’s not finished,” George said after confirming his return. George was a key figure in last season’s squad, contributing an impressive 26 goals in all competitions  and being named Supporters’ Player of the Season . At just 22 years old, he has already shown maturity and consistency beyond his years, proving himself as one of the most dangerous attacking players in the side. His return is a major boost for the club as we prepare for the challenges of Step 4 football. George’s energy, directness, and eye for goal will be crucial as we look to compete and build on the momentum from last season’s success. Throughout the 2024/25 campaign, George led by example in the final third—whether making intelligent runs off the ball, pressing defenders, or producing big moments in front of goal. His presence on and off the pitch played a big part in helping the team reach new heights. Despite exploring options during the off-season, George’s decision to return shows his commitment to the club’s vision and belief in what’s being built at Stanway. We’re excited to see George continue his development with us and play a key role in what promises to be an historic season for the club. Welcome back, George! 👏💛 Stanway Rovers Football Club, in proud partnership with: FND Group LTD: website here KMCO Group: website here Andreas Carter Sports: website here Also see here for all other sponsors of SRFC: A link to all of our sponsors #SRFC #WeAreStanway   #IsthmianLeague # GeorgeOkoye #FND #KMCO #PES #AndreasCarterSports
