🍆 Dick of the Season – - slightly unfair on the lad as he's had some important performances, but my god does he love a howler.

Before we sign off on what has been an incredible season, we’d like to remember our skipper, Tom Johnson.

Tom was more than just a captain. He was one of the foundations of this club, a leader on and off the pitch, and a friend to so many of us. Losing him earlier this year was devastating, but throughout the season we carried his memory with us every step of the way.

The togetherness, determination and spirit shown by this group is everything Tom embodied. While we’re proud to have completed the double, the greatest achievement has been coming together as a team and a club during the toughest of times.

These trophies are for you, Skip. You’ll always be part of The Horns. 💚

We’d also like to thank everyone who has supported us throughout the season. From our supporters who followed us week in, week out, to our sponsors who backed us from day one, your support means everything.

And a very special thank you to Simon, Karen and everyone at The Horns Inn. Your continued support ever since our days at The Blewitt has been incredible, and we can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for the club.

We’ve brought home two trophies this season, but we’re already looking forward to the next challenge.

Here’s to making more memories and bringing more silverware back to The Horns.

A season to remember. 🏆🏆

League champions and cup winners. The double secured.

What started out 5 years ago as a group of mates wanting to build something, winning a cup in our first season to nearly folding at the end of the last, we have turned this season into a season we’ll never forget. Every player, supporter, sponsor and person behind the scenes has played a part in what this club has achieved this year.

From the cold Sunday mornings, the Tesco Arena classics, the questionable refereeing decisions, the last-minute winners, the cup run, the celebrations and everything in between — this season had it all.

A massive thank you as well to Simon, Karen and everyone at The Horns Inn, who have welcomed and looked after us every week ever since the Blewitt days. Your hospitality and support for the lads has been unbelievable and the club genuinely wouldn’t be what it is today without you all behind us. 💚💛

To everyone who’s supported us throughout the year, whether that’s coming to games, sharing posts, sponsoring the club, helping with events or simply backing the lads every week, thank you. It genuinely means everything to us.

This club keeps growing every season and that’s because of the people around it. We’ve created memories this year that will stick with us for a long time.

The Horns Inn FC 2025/26 season:
🏆 League Champions
🏆 Divisional Cup Winners

The Double.

Up the H***y Boys 🍻💚💛

Final game of the season and the lads signed off in the right way with a 3-1 win. ✅

With the league already wrapped up and the double secured, this was a chance to rotate the squad, give everyone minutes and enjoy one last run out together this season. Changes all over the pitch but the standards stayed the same, with the boys putting in another solid performance to end the campaign on a high.

League champions. Cup winners. Signed off with a win.

Up the H***y Boys 🍻🏆

Thursday saw us fall to defeat for only the second time this season. With the season already wrapped up and not much left to play for, the intensity maybe just wasn’t quite at the levels we’ve set ourselves throughout the year.

That being said, the lads still battled right until the final whistle in a game that probably summed up Sunday League football perfectly — questionable decisions, half chances, tired legs and plenty of moaning.

Credit to the Traf too who put up a good game.

One more game left to finish the season strong. Up the H***y Boys 🍻
