The President’s Bit the club, I did sponsor a young lad called Mark Atkins who lives in It’s Saturday morning, November 21st, it’s raining, windy & cold. Mark Wymondham. Mark was an Schoolboy Champion & reached Brown & Joffy Garwood are gettting the pitch ready, putting the the final of the ABAs in London & was the Eastern Area Champion for advertising boards out for our Reserve game against Feltwell. Both many years, now Mark is a boxing coach at Attleborough Boxing Club teams are warming up but another set-back is that the referee had & he is the best in local boxing because when you have done it not turned up, and we did not have a linesman. My mate Ryan Brown yourself, others will respect you. Any lads that want to take up boxing, who was in our team to play, but when asked to run the line he kindly Mark Atkins is the man to see. Over the years Mark has been a great agreed and put his top on. help to Wymondham Town Football Club. The game started late & finished in the dark but helping to take the boards in & clean up & sort the kit out was our treasurer Emma Chambers. I have been involved in local football for over 60 years now & Emma has to be the hardest working lady who I have met & she is one of the best players in our Ladies team. Not forgetting Mark Brown, who, with his lad Ryan, over the years have been a great help to our club. Mark’s best game had to be when his team beat Spixworth in a great game to keep our first team in the Premier League. Next morning it is still wet, cold & windy. I drive to , park at the golf club to watch the Half-Marathon, about 3,000 runners took part in the bad weather, they all deserve credit for taking part. I did get a surprise as a lad I had seen play in our reserve team that I thought was rather slow, but was quick enough to get to the bar at the club house to enjoy a few pints. In the race he went passed me so fast I thought he was a greyhound, he L-R: Mark Atkin, Les King, Nigel Benn & Sean King at a charity football was in the front bunch and even in front of my mate, former boxing match at Wroxham champion Jon Thaxton.

Champions & Cup Winners, Attleborough have become Norfolk Yes Craig Wright is our club’s legend marathon runner, he is so quick Boxing Champions. I think he doesn’t know which way he is going, look out boy for a left hook. One man many will thank is Ted Reynolds. I did play with Ted at I was pleased to see the photo in the local press of over 50 members , we were both up front, what a pair. We were so slow a of Attleborough Boxing Club. John Dennis & his hard-working team, hedgehog would overtake us. For many years Ted has worked so with the support of sponsor Donna Kissinger, have now, in my hard for local football and many will thank him at Wymondham Town opinion, become the boxing club in this area. Over 60 years ago I did Football Club for his hard work. box for his club, years later I became Chairman of Norwich Lads Best wishes Club, sponsored many boxers & many became champions & my Les King mate Herbie Hide became World Champion.

10. 11. Message from the Director of Football now coming through to play in the under 19s the team is looking promising for the future. I’d like to welcome Poringland to WTFC & hope they enjoy their day here in Wymondham. The ladies are at home to Bungay in the league tomorrow after getting back on track with a 4-2 win against North Walsham in the I’d like to thank everyone that has welcomed me into my new role league cup last Sunday, hopefully this will be the start of a successful as Director of Football, taking over from Brownie who has put in a cup run & they can defend last season’s title. lot of hard work to keep the club going & hopefully I can continue building from here & moving the club in the right direction. Enough from me, enjoy the game. For me the key to the club succeeding is to spend less time talking Wymondham ‘til I die. in meetings & more time putting those ideas into action, the biggest challenge may turn out to be getting certain members of Craig Wright-Legend the board to stop talking so much & to cut out those 3 hour Director of Football meetings! We are in a great position to push forward with 4 fantastic teams at WTFC the club, the work that all the managers do off the pitch as well as on the pitch, all the board are very grateful for all that you do and long may this continue. Les King is ever present at the club and being a slightly bigger “legend” then me around the town, I’m sure you will all agree he is a fantastic ambassador to have at the club.

Instead of that Town found themselves level after a defensive mistake let Foulsham score a equaliser. This as normal woke Town up who started to play some of the best football of the season with Danny Pennell and Lee Metcalfe controlling the game from midfield and Town quickly found themselves 2.1 up when Charlie Blake beat his marker and put in a lovely cross for Jody Peacher to score his second.
