Growing Local Spirit with Every Match
Although Pegswood FC was only formed in 2024, it has been part of our community for generations, with proof as some of our parents and committee members used to play at Pegswood when they were younger. Built on passion, teamwork, and a shared love of the game, what started as a local grassroots team has grown into a thriving club that welcomes players of all ages and abilities and we only want to build that for years to come.
We’re proud of our village roots and the spirit that runs through everything we do, from Saturday morning kick abouts to full match days, community events and youth development. Football is at the heart of Pegswood, but for us, it’s about much more than the game. It’s about belonging, supporting one another, and giving everyone the chance to play, grow and be part of something special.

Chairman, Coach
