Who would be in your ultimate Newhaven Ladies 5-a-side team, using current squad or coaches?

Marks [Charlotte Markham], Faye [Hannaford], Summer [Dutton], Ellie [Coade], Chloe [Evans].

Which teammate is most likely to become a manager or coach after they finish playing?

Lucy [Collinson].

Someone offers you £100 for one of your teammates to hit the crossbar, who are you choosing?

Myself 😂

Which teammate is likely to incur the most fines this season? What fine will be their undoing?

Faye for her big mouth 😂

Who would you not want on the opposing team at training and why ?

Lauren [Smith]. She is too fast and her kicks are too powerful

As part of a training session there's a keepy-uppy competition. Who comes out on top and who fails tragically?

Mel [Orme] smashes it and Faye fails.

Finally, this one’s not actually about teammates, but what is your favourite biscuit and which one would be banned from the biscuit tin?

Dark chocolate digestive 👌🏼 ginger nut 🤢.

Nine in nine has us dreaming

Newhaven 3 Roffey 1, SCFL Premier Division match #36 Football. It’s a funny old game! Had you told anyone following our Boxing Day defeat against local rivals Peacehaven that there would be anything riding on the return fixture, then you would almost certainly have found yourself certified. Yet, here we are, just under four months on, with a match as potentially important as any Haven Derby in recent history. The winners will go into the last day of the season with at least a mathematical chance of still reaching the play-offs. For the losers, though, any such dreams can probably be extinguished. That the Dockers find themselves in such a position is thanks solely to a frankly astonishing run of nine-straight victories. A run that continued on Saturday with victory over another play-off chasing side, Roffey. At one point, Roffey had looked odds-on for a play-off spot. However, a downturn in form which had brought just one win in seven games prior to Saturday has seen their ...

Late show ends Lingfield’s unbeaten start to 2025

Newhaven 4 Lingfield 1, SCFL Premier Division match #29 After an enforced lay-off last week due to Little Common’s waterlogged pitch, Newhaven were back in action yesterday, as Lingfield visited Fort Road for the second time this season. The previous meeting back in November was classed as Lingfield’s home game, and resulted in a single-goal victory for the Dockers. Back then, the Lingers were looking like a side destined for a relegation battle. However, they arrived at Fort Road yesterday as one of the division’s form teams; unbeaten since Boxing Day and having beaten play-off chasing Haywards Heath in their last outing. Yet it was Newhaven, whose last match was a 3-0 victory at Horsham YMCA, who started the game in the ascendancy. Two early chances came and went for Newhaven before Alfie Rogers was pulled down for what appeared to be a stonewall penalty, only for the referee to rather surprisingly wave the appeal away. The Dockers kept pouring forward, though, and when the...

Defeat but promising signs for young Dockers

South Park Reigate 2 Newhaven 1, FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round, Saturday 2 nd August 2025 What a difference 12-months makes. This time last year, the Dockers went into the new season among the favourites for promotion having brought in a string of high-profile (for the level) names. Alas, for one reason or another, it was an experiment that went wrong quite quickly, and one that has prompted a complete rethink on how best to approach the new campaign. Fast forward a year, and we enter the 2025/26 season with rather less of an idea of quite what to expect. To describe the current squad as youthful is probably understating things. Aside from Lee Robinson and (the currently injured) Bailie Rogers, the next most senior member of the team in terms of experience is Ryan Blunt, at the age of just 20! Unusually, this season’s curtain raiser was an FA Cup match rather than the traditional league encounter, with the Dockers travelling to Surrey to take on higher division South Park R...
