Well after going 5 months of no football we are now seeing games coming thick and fast as we’ve been faced with constant Saturday and midweek games that ultimately puts pressure on the playing squad as well as the volunteers who look after the logistics of ensuring matches can go ahead with the added measures in place round Health and Safety. With this in mind I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those club members and volunteers who are stepping up to the plate as I’ve been impressed with the professionalism you are demonstrating in supporting the club and ensuring we are adhering to the guidelines provided to us by the FA. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you the supporters for getting behind the team so far this season as you have played a massive part in getting behind the team and creating a great atmosphere that was evident again last week in our exciting victory of higher league Wisbech Town that I’m sure provided you with some great entertainment. The FA cup is obviously massive for the club due to its financial rewards and it would be great to see you all getting behind the boys again this Tuesday evening when we entertain higher league Moulden and Tiptree in a repeat fixture of our 2018 cup run where we managed a victory so fingers crossed for history repeating itself. These cup games are fantastic for the club but it’s also very challenging for the playing squad as the extra big games are resulting in us having to run and rotate a large squad as we have to deal with a good number of injuries and general fatigue that have affected our away league form. Marc has to introduce constant change to the team in some of these games to compensate for wear and tear on the players and with a good number of new players in the squad, it will take time for them to adjust and learn the methods required to win games especially on the road. Today will be an exiting game to watch as Woodbridge have been a good side over the last few seasons and I’m sure with our boys wanting a good response from our midweek defeat, we should be in for a very competitive game today.

Town were duly accepted into Division One of the Jewson League and for the first season, 1989/90, home games were played at Kingston Field. During the three previous years negotiations had been taking place to secure a new ground and in March 1990 work began on the pitch, changing rooms and clubhouse facilities at Notcutts Park.
