Frome Town make history with league and cup double

Town celebrate after being presented with the league trophy at their final home game of the season

Frome Town Football Club have made history by securing the first league and cup double in the club’s history, completing a remarkable season for the Robins.

The team won the Southern League Division One South title before lifting the Somerset Premier Cup, capping a record-breaking campaign that also saw a 31-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

The achievement follows a summer of uncertainty for the club, with manager Danny Greaves rebuilding the squad after relegation. The side went on to lose just four league games all season and only once after October, amassing more than 100 points and winning 14 consecutive home matches.

Manager Danny Greaves praised his players and staff, saying, “I want to thank every player who has pulled on the Frome shirt this season. Their commitment, resilience, and winning mentality have been second to none, and they have earned their rewards.

“To deliver a league championship at Step 4 with over 100 points, breaking many club records along the way, capped off with a league and cup double for the first time in this club’s long history is incredible. The players should be very proud.

“I must also thank the management team. Simmo (assistant manager Neil Simons) and I cannot do what we do without them.”

The cup triumph marks Frome’s fifth Somerset Premier Cup success, following previous wins in 1967, 1969, 1983 and 2009, and comes after final defeats in 2014 and 2025.

It is also only the fourth league title in the club’s history, adding to championships in 1963, 1979 and 2002.

The Robins sealed the league title on Easter Monday before winning the county cup final 3–2 last month after twice coming from behind. Supporters packed Badgers Hill for the final home game of the season to celebrate the Southern League Division One South championship presentation.

  • Female-led theatre company brings new comedy to Frome

A new comedy play about four women who decide to buy a house together is coming to Frome in July.

‘Your Move’ will be staged at Frome Town Hall from 3rd to 5th July during the Frome Festival by Really Truly Theatre Co.

In ‘Your Move’, four very different women decide to buy a house together. However, one of them is hiding something from the others, a secret that could bring the walls crashing down around them.

Writer Polly Lamb said, “I like to write about issues in society that affect everyone, while shining a spotlight on how they are experienced from a woman’s perspective. But the comedy element always creeps in because it wouldn’t be realistic if we weren’t falling about laughing at some point.”

  • Frome storage firm offers local charities a free container

A storage company with a yard in Frome is offering a local charity a free 20ft container for 12 months, along with a free van-and-man removal service to help move items into storage.

Giant Storage, a family-run business, says the offer is open to charities in Frome, where the company has recently expanded its site. The company also says the arrangement will be reviewed after a year, with the possibility of continuing it.

“Frome has a strong tradition of community-minded organisations, and we are keen to support that spirit,” said Henry Langdon who founded the company in Salisbury before expanding into Frome and Yeovil. “If your charity has a storage challenge - seasonal equipment, donated goods, archive materials for instance - this could be the answer.

  • Spotlight on: Frome Widows and Widowers

Every week, a group of people who have been bereaved meet in an upstairs room at the Cheese and Grain for social connection.

The Widows and Widowers group meets every Wednesday, enabling people who have lost their partners to meet others with shared experiences.

Group leader Marilyn said, “It can be really difficult for people who have lost their partners. It gives them a chance to come out and do things alone.”

Marilyn, who was widowed 16 years ago, said, “There are people in my group who lost their husbands 20 years ago.”

  • Local man to drive emergency aid to Ukraine

A local volunteer is driving to Ukraine in July to deliver an emergency vehicle and medical supplies to the war-torn country.

Martyn Starnes, chief executive of Frome Town Football Club, will travel to the western side of the country with volunteers from Medical Life Lines Ukraine, covering 1,200 miles over three and a half days.

“The situation in Ukraine is very dangerous and very volatile, particularly near the front line,” said Martyn, who also completed the journey in 2024.

“They’re in constant need of emergency vehicles to take not only the military but civilians to hospital and there is a never-ending demand for these vehicles.

“When we arrive, we hand them over to the locals to be positioned wherever they need to go throughout the country.

  • Frome Park Men maintain their good form

Frome Park Men A team beat Weston, Bath B at home in the County League, winning on two rinks, both by the same score of 26-10 to claim 10 points to the visitors picking up just 2 points. The A team are still unbeaten and remain in top spot in East 1. 

The B team had a disappointing defeat away to Wells and left empty handed but are hoping to bounce back next time when they are at home against Purnells B.

In the midweek MSL, Frome Park men have had mixed fortunes. There was an excellent win at home against Shepton Mallet, picking up 11 points for two winning rinks; the overall score was 63-40. 

A trip to Wells ended with two winning rinks but missing out on the overall win by five shots, going down to an 8 - 4 defeat.

  • Frome Birth Talk chosen for funding boost

A Frome charity has been selected for a match-funding opportunity to further its work in supporting people through pregnancy, birth, parenthood and baby loss.

As part of this year’s Small Charity Week from 22nd to 29th June, all donations made to Frome Birth Talk via the Big Give website up to £2,500 will be matched, meaning supporters can help the charity reach twice as many families.

  • Health information events at Frome Medical Practice

Two health information events are being held at Frome Medical Practice this month, aimed at supporting patients on key health topics.

The first event, a Pelvic Health Talk, is offered as part of the Women’s Health Hub at the practice and takes place on Tuesday 23rd June from 6pm to 7pm.

Organisers say, “Many women experience symptoms of poor pelvic health in silence but it doesn’t have to be that way. Patients are invited to come to the talk to learn more about common pelvic health issues, as well as ways to improve symptoms and support wellbeing. The session will be led by a pelvic health physiotherapist and aims to empower women to take control of their health.”
