It was a night to rub shoulders with the leading lights of football content when members of Mousehole AFC’s media team attended the Football Content Awards at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on November 21st. The event recognizes contributions to football media across various categories including YouTube, social media and podcasting. Content Producer Kevin Bishop, Social Media producer Jasmyn Richardson and Match Reporter Ed Varcoe travelled to London for the event, in which Mousehole was shortlisted for the Best Club – Non-League category. It’s the second year running that Mousehiole has made the final – last year the ceremony was held at Anfield.
While we didn’t come away with a win, being shortlisted was an encouraging milestone and an opportunity to represent Mousehole AFC on a larger stage. The evening provided a chance to meet other content creators, network with professionals, and see the work being done across the industry. You can read all the award winners here.
During the reception held in the hospitality area at Spurs, Ed Varcoe chatted and swapped contacts with members of the Football Park podcast team.
Jasmyn Richardson who is currently completing her internship at the club said: “Attending the awards at the Spurs stadium was an incredible experience, especially since it coincided with my 18th birthday, making the night extra special.
The whole experience left me feeling deeply grateful to everyone who encouraged and helped me pursue this internship and live in England. It has truly been a life-changing opportunity.
The day after the awards, I had an amazing time sightseeing in London, making the trip even more memorable.”
The ceremony, hosted by Joel Beya, featured over 100 winners in 34 categories, including prominent names such as The Athletic, Sky Sports, and Fabrizio Romano. The competition was strong, and it was inspiring to see the standard of content being produced in football media.
In addition to the awards ceremony, the team got a look inside the stadium where the SGL grow lighting system was being used on the pitch.
Mousehole content producer Kevin Bishop feels this was an invaluable experience for the young media team at the club. “Just being in that room, in such a prestigious location, with more than 500 of the country’s top football content creators, shows how much potential there is in the industry. The people there that evening are just the tip of an iceberg of many thousands of people creating high-level content across all platforms in football. It’s a great area to get into and a fantastic career option for anybody interested in football and media.”
