2013-2014 Managers - Paul "Wally" Hubbard, Andy Atkins, Paul Smith, Russell Snowling, Allan Harris

I guess you have probably missed my notes for the last few weeks as there has not been too much to report on but the football wheel keeps turning and as we move towards training starting the movement and discussions with players gathers pace. With no Thurlow Nunn signing on forms out till the AGM on the 21^st of June it is difficult to report on who is committed to your club unless they have signed an F A contract. Many players train at different clubs to get a feel of what the place is like and to see who else appears at training. Two departures that we can report on are the movement of Jack Brame and Nathan Clarke to Bury Town, a jump of two levels for the two lads. It is always disappointing to see players leave but we must take satisfaction that they have seen fit to try their hand at Ryman Premier League level and not moved sideways in the same league. We thank them for their efforts over the previous seasons and wish them all the success at their new club. The hard part is for our management team to replace players of that calibre but they are working hard to fill the places and it gives other players the opportunity to cement their place in the team. A development for the club next season is the formation of a Womens football team and we have open training sessions on Thursday the 26^th June 7 to 9 and Sunday 29^th June and 6^th July 10.00 to 12.00. Enthusiastic coach Luke Worley who has 8 years’ experience of Women’s football in the United States and at Loughborough University will be happy to see players of all calibres at the sessions. The club has entered a team in the Suffolk Girls & Women’s Football League so watch this space. Like can be contacted on 07983 990185 or coach.lworley@gmail.com The clubs AGM is on Tuesday the 10^th of June so hopefully, depending on when you read these notes we will have either a plan to get rid of that awful Chairman or he will have been replaced by someone proper. With fingers crossed and if everything falls into place the youth and senior football section should hit their target of 20 teams at Walsham le Willows for next season. Right that’s it fans as I am off to get ready for the World Cup. Rattle, scarf and rosette somewhere in the cupboard, who remembers the good old days !!
