In 2017 -18 The club had an excellent run in the FA Trophy and produced some excellent results in the league interspersed with some heavy defeats but this was only to be expected with a very young side – but throughout the year they strived to play football the Shortwood way. After Christmas Shortwood faced a difficult dilemma.

New College Academy • Club History New College opened in 1984 with a football team playing friendly football fixtures on Wednesday afternoons. Football developed into an Academy in 1996 and between then and 2002, when it became a Senior Club in its own right, New College explored joint ventures with Swindon Town FC, Forest Green Rovers and Swindon Supermarine. New College finished mid-table in their one season in the Hellenic League in 2002-03 before ground issues moved the club into the Football League.

The academy is managed and coaching directed on a day to day basis by Ian Howell who is part of the Chelsea u21s assistant manager. He is assisted by Matt Cosnett, a former college player and of Swindon Supermarine. Also by ex players Harvey Scholes and Ryan Elliott

Students join New College to follow an educational program for one, two or occasionally three years, together with their football coaching and competition. It is not an Old Boys club, although in any season one or two ‘leavers’ may continue before making the step up to what we hope is a higher level of football.

The academy currently runs three representative sides. The under 17's play in the Wiltshire Youth Floodlit league on Thursday nights. This side is managed by Mick Burke. The under 18’s play in the South West Counties Youth league versus academy sides from all of the major non league sides in the South West. This side is managed/ coached by Mick Burke and Adi Wilkinson.

The open age squad now plays in the Uhlsport Hellenic Football League, step 6 of the non league pyramid. This side is managed by Mark Teasdale. Mark is assisted by his coach Matt Cosnett.

Ian Howell, Matt Cosnett and Eric Stott work behind the scenes. Ian works as the club treasurer, Matt fulfils the role of club secretary and Eric works fulfilling the role of Match day Secretary for the Hellenic League side.

The Charter Standard Scheme is best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League. As a benchmark for quality, it will improve the playing experience for all. New College Academy achieved this prestigious award in 2009.

The FA Charter Standard Clubs program, supported by FA Community Partner McDonald's, was launched in February 2001 and is a core component of The FA Football Development program. The project is aimed at all clubs outside the Football League and Premier League, players, children and parents find a club in their local area that meets FA standards.
