Westfields Football Club celebrated their 50 anniversary year in 2015 / 2016. This was
coupled with an amazing giant killing run in the FA Cup. This saw the club go through

celebratory dinner at the Three Counties Hotel, Hereford. Andy Morris was also a guest
at the Non-League Paper luncheon at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Football Club’s
ground. It was here he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award for 50 years’ service
as Secretary of Westfields Football Club.

Other accolades were received during this season as presentations were made by the
Herefordshire Football Association, the Midland Football League, Ladbrokes and the
Emirates FA Cup Committee to celebrate the tremendous season that Westfields had
enjoyed in their FA Cup run which gave them wins over Stourport Swifts, Tividale, St.
Ives Town, Highgate United, Walton Casuals and Leiston before they drew Conference
North side Curzon Ashton at home then lost in the replay 3-1.

Westfields have enjoyed tremendous support financially by being sponsored by their
ground sponsors allpay Ltd who for the first 15 years were also given the shirt sponsors
at the club and have given financial help to the club for which Westfields are indebted
to Tony Killeen from allpay and his group of Directors for their financial support over
many years. Westfields have also received tremendous support from Metclad of
Nottingham and the Hereford Times, Hereford along with Life Member Ron Marshall
who continues to support the club as he did from the early days in 1966.

Westfields are a club geared up for success with a very strong committee which has
been well established over many years and with a ground with an E-certificate for
higher graded football. The Hellenic League will certainly be a new challenge for
Westfields but the team from Hereford are ready and waiting for the challenge ahead.
