Westfield is proud to be home to four local teams who use the pitches at the recreation grounds at Westhill Road and on the Fosse Way. All four teams are well established and have enjoyed many successes over the years with Meadow Rangers and Westhill Sports both in the First Division and Westfield FC under 16s winning their league this year!
Westfield FC was established in 1976 and is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. The under 16 group which plays at Norton Hill Recreation Ground has been with the club for the last ten years from under seven up to under sixteen. The club is run by a team of hard working volunteers and aims to provide a continual route into Adult football. In fact, Steve Phillips (Ex Bristol City, Bristol Rovers and Crewe) started his playing days as a Westfield Youth player. The club, which comprises three adult teams as well as the youth teams, has over 180 members and last season saw the Under-16 team winning the Mid Wilts Youth League.
The team is always looking for new players in all age groups and the Adult teams. If parents or players are interested they can email the club at: [email protected]
The Westfield pitches are owned by two Miners’ Trusts set up many years ago to provide recreational space for the people of Westfield. Maintained by Westfield Parish Council, who are the sole trustees, the pitches are marked out to FA standards and have parking and changing facilities.
There is still some availability for the pitches for the 2016-17 season, so if you are a new team starting up, or even an established team looking for a new home, please do not hesitate to contact the Parish Council to discuss hire: 01761 410669.
