In Ravenshead village, winter still,
Nottinghamshire nights grow dark and chill,
Yet lights shine bright at a familiar place,
The Leisure Centre — football’s home base.

Red shirts gather, young and old,
Stories fresh and stories told,
From Under 7s, small and brave,
To senior teams who’ve given years to the game.

Boys and girls, men and women too,
All pull on red, proud, and true,
Different ages, different names,
One shared love for the beautiful game.

At the heart of it all, through thick and thin,
Stands chairman Kev, with a welcoming grin,
A friendly word, a steady guide,
Keeping community and football side by side.

This is a club where all belong,
Where kindness matters just as strong,
Where win or lose, come rain or snow,
You’re welcomed in — and helped to grow.

So this Christmas, as carols play,
And boots rest up for Christmas Day,
We toast the Reds of Ravenshead,
A football family proudly led.

Merry Christmas to every Red,
From first young kick to seasoned tread,
Ravenshead Reds — together, bright,
A grassroots club with heart and light.
