Page 13 - Longwell Green Sports v Radstock Town 231121

The 1914-18 war and the lack of a pitch meant that Radstock Town
didn’t appear again as senior club until the 1920-21 season.

In 1930 club supporters joined to gether to create a supporter’s social
club which remains in existence to this day.

On the pitch:

The club’s first silver ware came when they won the in augural
Somerset Senior Cup at the end of the 1895/96 season beating Wells
City 4-0 in a replay at Midsomer Norton following a 1-1 draw. The club
i
has won the cup twelve times subsequently and fin shed runners up
on a further twelve occasions! Success in league competitions has
been harder to come but club has won the Somerset Senior League
six times and the Wiltshire League on four occasions. Despite many
sea sons in the Western League the best position achieved was way
back in the 1920/21 season when the reformed side finished runners
up. The 1960’s & 70’s were the most successful in the club’s long
history when they won a remarka ble 12 leagues and cups!

Today:

The club had been on the brink of promotion for the last two seasons
but the pandemic saw them miss out by the smallest of margins
based on the FA’s points per game system.

Two ex-players,
Ryan Child & Tom Pawley, manage the 1stX1 and they are confident
the squad is ca pable of doing well and bringing the good times back
to Southfield.
