Come
and join the Wickhambrook First and Reserve Teams
We have two teams in the Wickhambrook Football Club.
The First Team and the Reserves.
First Team play in the first division 1A Cambridgeshire
League
Reserves play in the second division of the Halstead & District
Football League.
We have our own pitch in Wickhambrook which is on the recreation ground
and the MSC Pavilion
is used for the after match 'refreshments'. The First Team provide
sandwiches after their matches and the bar is open should anyone wish
to purchase drinks. They also have a draw where tickets are sold and
half of the proceeds go towards the sandwiches and the rest is prize
money.
Training is on a Wednesday evening between 8 - 9pm at Hundon Astroturf
pitch
The team would be pleased to welcome new members both with support
and help with the team generally but also for new players. There are
lots of jobs that no one even thinks about which are just as important
as winning the matches - washing the kit, marking up the pitch, etc.
We play every weekend and hope to be able to provide
a short update of the match results together with notification of
when and where the next match will be held and would be delighted
if you would like to come and support us.
First Team Captain - Jim Jolland
Reserve Team Captain - Paul Taylor
Our Club emphasis is "teamwork". There is
no manager, coach or boss. We have open and frank discussions on how
the game is going, what is going good or bad and we think that is
what has given us our success. Everyone is involved. The only hierarchy
we follow is in who does what to organise everything but once the
game is on, we all pitch in.
If you would like any more information or are interested in joining
our football club then please contact:

The Wickhambrook First Team initially played in the Halstead &
District League but last year moved up into the Cambridgeshire League
and were placed in the Second Division which they subsequently won.
They were promoted into the First Division this year and are hoping
to do well so that they can progress into the Premiership League.
