The motion
That this House congratulates Phoenix Sports Club on its 90th anniversary; notes that it was originally formed in 1935 as St John’s Welling and then Lakeside, and later changed its name to Phoenix following the Second World War as it was seen to rise from the ashes of the previous two clubs amidst the destruction caused by the Blitz; highlights that they have played at their current home in Mayplace Road East, Bexleyheath, since 1950; recognises that the club is a FA Charter Standard community club; further notes that the club has competed in cricket as well as its main focus of football; and pays tribute to all the staff, players and volunteers and wishes them the best of luck in the South Counties East Football League Premier Division for the 2025/26 football season.
