As they rely heavily on the incredible passion and fundraising of their volunteers and supporters, they are delighted to have already won £759 with 1000GBP.com.
Former player Jay Wiltshire is the first-team manager and, as his family have lived in Litlington for more than 50 years, he is especially passionate about the club.
“We are a genuine community team and love our local connections and support,”said Jay. “The money we’ve already been awarded from 1000GBP.com is such a big thing for a little village club like us as £759 makes a real difference to our bank balance and we’ve told all our players and committee about the football quiz.”
Chairman and head of football, Sturge Mazzocchi, was previously an academy football coach with Luton Town, Arsenal and Stevenage. During the pandemic, he was introduced to Litlington AFC by a friend and was impressed by their potential. After helping out with some coaching he became chairman in June 2022 and is very ambitious for the club.
“One of the things that immediately appealed to me was the superb quality of our pitches which are way better than most we ever come across at this level,” Sturge said. “This is thanks to Stewart Bullard and his company who have looked after them for many years.
“That’s a real bonus, as our big objective is to get into the Spartan South Midlands League Division One. It’s five promotions away but would give us access to the FA Cup. If the Premier League is division one then we are in division 15, but we take real inspiration from Marc White who won 12 promotions in 23 years with Dorking Wanderers, so we know it can be done.”
