Hey Stourbridge Fans. Remember that character who made us smile every week for 3 years? She raising some money for a great cause! Let's all get behind Hannah Fishwick and make a donation to help her and her footballing friends reach their goal. Please share too!

☆ Girls Under 9's Raise a Whopping £2000! | October 2023. Saturday, 14th October saw Rob Winnall, Stu Mcfarlane and Tom Shaw take their Under 9's girls team on a sponsored walk raising the fantastic amount of £1700+ on their GoFund me page, with between an extra £250-£300 raised in a bucket on the day. The U9's routinely play their matches on a Saturday morning, however, on their week off they decided to put their time to good use. They set off from the Fig & Favour cafe and walked to Stourbridge FC's main stadium (The War Memorial ground) which is approximately 4 miles away. Rob explained, ”We will use the money towards game expenses, new kits, new equipment, winter jackets, Christmas presents, team bonding days out for players, and siblings as its a family team after all”. This season, the team are six league games in with results not publicised, but having watched two of those games personally it is fair to say fans have been in for a great watch. • Building The Foundations. Personal highlights of the U9’s match days for myself are the post game talks from manager to players/parents. Player management is essential at all age groups for different reasons and the way Rob can inspire his audience after a game, whether it be after a win or a loss, is hugely commendable and heart warming to be a part of. Giving out awards and celebrating success is a weekly tradition along with the players applauding the spectators after the final whistle. The team certainly play with a smile on their faces and their heart of their sleeve. The squad also walked out onto the pitch alongside the Women's first team earlier this month when the Glassgirls beat local rivals WBA 7-2 in the Northern Premier Division league game.

Second best moment of my @StourbridgeWFC fan career. Hannah Fishwick goal vs Leeds in the @FAWNL is my favourite but ghee, what a moment today! You don't always get what you deserve, but today we did. #ProudToBeStour
