The Nash Cup 2025 – Southill Shines!
We were greeted with glorious sunshine and blue skies at Redlands as both our boys’ and girls’ football teams proudly represented Southill in The Nash Cup — a prestigious tournament dating back to the 1970s. The last time Southill brought home silverware from this event was in 2001… until today!
Girls’ Competition
Results:
Southill 0 – 3 St Nicholas and St Lawrence
Southill 1 – 1 St Andrews
Scorer: Nancy (penalty)
Southill 2 – 0 St Johns

Despite a tough group, the girls gave everything they had. After a challenging start, they earned a hard-fought draw thanks to a last-minute penalty from Nancy, and finished on a high with a confident win featuring two excellent team goals, both finished by Nancy. Unfortunately, they narrowly missed out on a semi-final place on goal difference.
The eventual champions, St Nicholas and St Lawrence, were in their group — a testament to the level of competition they faced. In scorching conditions, the team showed immense resilience and teamwork. Well done, girls – you made Southill proud!
