Team Details

More about the team

Potted History: Sheldon FC have been around for the past ten years or so having been a part of the Youth Alive League for a few seasons. The team during that time, was quite successful, winning the league and cup competitions during the time the league was in existence. The team then ceased to exist following the collapse of the YAC league. The Atkins brothers, who have been a part of the Sheldon team for all these years, then moved to Calvary in WMCFL for about five years and enjoyed some successful years in the team. But as the Sheldon Christian Fellowship continued to grow in number, the time came again for Sheldon FC to come into being once more joining the WMCFL in 2005/6 season. The team is a blend of youth and experience and have done extremely well to accomplish second position in their inaugural season in Division Two under the guidance of Lyndon Fisher. The team is well supported as I'm sure many others will know and experience during the coming season in which the team aim to maintain first division status.
