Ground: Nailsea school Mizzymead Road Nailsea BS48 2HN

Background:

Formed in 2016. Forming a second Nailsea Vets Club team seemed like a good idea for a few of the more senior players who were starting to feel the pace playing the relatively young 35 brigade!

Teams should be aware we play on an artificial pitch so training shoes or moulded boots. Usually have a post match pint in Sawyers Arms (3 High Street, BS48 1BT)

Background:

Established in 1992 out the back of an IT centre in Bristol. A couple of years languishing in the informal Avon Civils League were followed by half a dozen in the Bristol Sunday League until it was time to make the step up to the Bristol Casuals League in 2005. Several glory years at the top followed before a slow decline started. But that’s history…this year could be our year…

In 2021 Henleaze Corinthians 50’s were also formed to take care of the ageing limbs of the club.
