Toolsta on Western League Review
Cribbs FC - Squad
last season, were along with Portishead and Bradford-on-Avon
promoted to the Western “Toolstation” League, we believe we may
well have created a little county history by being the only club on
record that have achieved promotion after only one season in the
County League.

The club have always had an ambition to play at the highest level and
this was rewarded when Matt Hale rejoined the club he first played
for as a 15 year old before becoming a professional footballer with
Bristol City, he has also played for Yeovil and Weymouth.
Matt returned in late 2003, to assist John Gibbs as 1 team player/
st
coach, the team finished runners up to Sea Mills and were promoted
to the County League. During the summer Matt Hale was appointed
Club Coach and 1 Team Manager. Now

The club has over years produced many young players who have
gone on to play for Conference and Western League clubs or have
remained with the club, a number are now in our First Team squad.

In addition to the 1 Team we run a Reserves, 3 & 4 Team, also an
rd
th
st
U18’s who will play in the Gloucestershire County Youth League.
At the beginning of 2003 the club changed its name from Longwell
Green Sports FC to Longwell Green Sports, joining forces with the
Longwell Green Juniors and forming a Senior & Junior Netball team
to form a broader community sports club.

Longwell Green has always had a commitment to developing young
players and benefit from a tremendous spirit amongst its teams and
club members.

At Present we are in Toolstation Division 1 . Our Manager is Chris
Alway, assisted by Mark Summers, Geraint Bater and Tony Hill.
