SERP2000 News - June 2026

As we come towards the end of another football season we would like to say a massive congratulations to Sherfield FC on their fantastic win in the final of the Junior League Cup Final! Within 3 seasons they have earned 2 promotions and 2 cup final wins. That’s some achievement!. They have also gained promotion to the Southampton prem. The next step is Hampshire, and that is a HUGE step for a young team playing on a little field in Sherfield! A superb effort by players, coaches and management. All the teams - men’s 1st, reserves and the women’s team have played so well and we thank them for their patience with the drainage works. We can look forward to the coming season without the water-logging issues and a more reliable home pitch.

News from the Pavilion. After a few last minute scheduling hitches were resolved cricket will start at the beginning of June on the SERP field for the first time in many years. We’re very much looking forward to the return of a quintessential part of English village life and we see this as a very welcome addition to the netball, bowls and football we already host. Why not pop along on Saturday afternoons in the summer and enjoy the sound of leather on willow. Remember the date - 15th August for SherFest! The band line up is looking better than ever and we’re checking out a few options for the remaining few slots. If you’re part of a group or know of one who may be interested then now could be your last chance to get on the line up! Get in touch quickly or you’ll have to wait for ‘27! We’ve also got some super new ideas for food and drink and can’t wait to see you all there for fantastic day of music, feasting and fun for all the family.

*** STOP PRESS*** Some of the SERP Committee and friends are proposing to run the first Sherfield English popup pub very soon! 12th June is proposed as the date, keep an eye on Facebook for further details but we’d love to see you there and it’s important for the community to show that Sherfield still needs a pub! See you soon at the Sports ground. Jerome Chair SERP2000
