Southwater Sports Club has been in existence for over 128 years and provides an essential facility for the whole Southwater community. It started as a Tin shed for Cricketers to get changed in, and in 1963 the shed was demolished and the Cricketers erected a new wooden structure with two changing rooms and a small Bar. In 1975 a further extension was added providing two more changing rooms. In the early 80's local Landlady May Brown became Head Barmaid and ran the Club for many years really moving it forward. In 1982 The Cricket Club amalgamated with Southwater Football Club and the name changed to Sothwater Sports Club. In 1985 the Club was once again demolished by it's members and a new bigger building was constructed with further extensions being added in the 80s and 90s.
This year we also have on site a Multi-use games area (MUGA) Pitch and a brand new Tennis section.
We also have 4 large TV screens showing sport from all terrestrial channels, Sky and BT Sport.
For membership information, please see the membership section of the website or visit the club, which is situated opposite the Holy Innocents Church in Church lane.

Football has been played here since 1958. Over the last 60 years the team has evolved and grown somewhat and moved with the changes that have happened within football. Both the Senior and Junior sections have enjoyed continued success and growth over this time.
We are a FA Chartered Standard club with a Junior section having teams from U8’s to U16’s and a Senior section with three Saturday teams and two Sunday teams one of which is a Veterans team.
We endeavour to give the opportunity for football to be played whatever your age. As much as we love our current squads, we are always looking to recruit additional players for all our junior age groups & senior teams.
We are also especially keen if you would be interested in sponsorship packages & volunteering to help with the running and administration of the club.
