About Us
Sands United Bristol FC were founded in 2019. We are part of the network of Sands United football clubs around the country. We are a team that provides a unique avenue of support for men affected by the death of a baby before, during or shortly after birth. Many men have reached out to Sands United Bristol FC for support because they didn’t feel the traditional avenues of support were for them.
Each member of the team wears a shirt that carries meaning for them. We all chose a squad number that is important to us and we play with our babies names on the shirt near our hearts. We are all part of a club that nobody wants to be a part of but one that has the highest cost of membership.
We play for the best worst team in football.
We are Sands United Bristol ??

Home Colours: Black & White Stripes
Away Colours: Black & White Stripes
Ground: Stoke Lane Playing Fields, Stoke Lane. Little Stoke, Bristol. BS34 6HR
Background:
Larry Steventon founded Lion Vets in 2014. Larry retired from regular Saturday football in May 2014 after playing for 37 consecutive seasons. Instantly regretting his decision he decided to form a veterans team the very next day! Lion Veterans were born. Many old war horses have returned to the fray and dusted their boots off to make a return to action. Rich Burge and his brother Lee, Dave Bennett, Russell Lee, Pete Castles, Kris Soni and Nick (Killer) Blackman to name but a few, all enjoying the Bristol Corinthians League. The Vets maintain close links with its parent club Lion FC so hopefully as players progress in years there will be a steady flow to ensure the club will be around for a few years to come.

Ground: Saltford FC, 3 Wedmore Rd, Saltford, Bristol BS31 3BY
Background
Formed in 2010, Red Star Redland was an amalgam of two and half 5-a-side teams made-up of players who mainly worked in the media, none of whom lived in Redland. The team took on new impetus when Andrew “Cobbsy” Robinson retired from playing and took-over as manager. He helped shape the club into a proper 11-a-side outfit which went on to have some pretty decent cup runs in the BCL and some excellent summer excursions at summer tournaments in Belgium accompanied by many litres of Jupiler. In 2019 with the average age of the squad creeping up and numbers starting to dwindle, the club merged with Red Star Bedminster which allowed a 45s team to be created alongside the 35s. With a 50s team added in 2021 there is now a Red Star team to take everyone involved up to retirement, and each side is built on the league’s excellent Corinthian principles and a love of playing football.

Background:
AR launched in the late 90’s, a motley crew of Local Government Workers (hence the Avon bit of the name) Retreads referencing our Michelin Man girths.
We began in Division 1 (there were only two divisions then) and secured one victory against the cup holders PSST. A two division demotion followed. There have been occasional triumphs like winning Div 3 in 2014/15, but the ethos is always that if you turn up you get a fair run on the pitch and no one is too good not to have time on the bench to accommodate others
