Press Photography: FA Trophy Final 2014

It has been a good season of football photography for Simon J. Newbury Photography. I have struggled to get to as many Nantwich Town games as I would have liked this season as I have been working for the national press at a number of games around the North West. I have mainly been commissioned by The Non League Paper and have visited a number of clubs for the paper.

Locally I have covered Winsford, Witton Albion and Leek. I have also headed off to Stafford Rangers and Wrexham. Wrexham are a former League club currently competing in the Skrill Premier. They won the FA Trophy last season, and paraded the Trophy at a recent fixture I was at to photograph prior to handing it back in time for this years final.

I was asked to be the official photographer to Nantwich Town FC at the start of the 2011-12 season by Chairman Jon Gold. It has been a great addition to my press photography! It’s been a great ride with The Dabbers – the historic FA Cup run which took the club to MK Dons. The same season Nantwich Town lifted the Cheshire Senior Cup.

Last season was somewhat disappointing by the same standards and a change was made at the top. Danny Johnson is now in the Dabbers hotseat. This season kicked off brightly with a 2-0 victory over Kings Lynn Town. It gives me great pleasure to announce that I’ll be with the Cheshire club again this season in the capacity of official photographer!

We got the season off to a good start with the squad photo before the Kings Lynn fixture. The team recorded a good win and I am pleased to say that several photos from the match were published the nationwide Non League Paper.

Up The Dabbers!
