The Green Army achieved their highest-ever finish, securing 5th place in the United Counties League Premier Division North, alongside record points and wins totals, taking their promotion hopes into the final week of the season but ultimately falling just short of a play-off position.

Under his leadership, the club achieved remarkable success, including Lincolnshire League championships in 1980/81 and 2003/04, along with numerous cup triumphs that solidified its place in local football history.

This historic season, driven by a largely local squad, demonstrated the club’s ability to combine ambition with effective governance to achieve success.

Following another successive season where Sleaford Town narrowly missed out on the playoff places in 2023/24, the decision of then Chairman Dean Williams to step down at the end of the campaign instigated a period of change.

Sleaford Town Reserves Manager Graham Watkins stepped in to steady the ship during this challenging time, overseeing the team while a long-term solution was put in place.

Now, with a focus on rebuilding, the Green Army are navigating this transitional period with determination, aiming to lay the groundwork for a positive and sustainable future.
