All football training at the 3G pitches in Wellesbourne and Stratford-upon-Avon is cancelled for this Thursday, Friday and for Saturday Minis due to the adverse weather conditions.

This Sunday we were the visitors to Khalsa at the Newbold Common fields in Leamington. Refreshingly the pitches were cut, white lines looking sharp and a surface unlike I have ever seen before at this venue. So all to play for and conditions that should suit our normal passing game.

Khalsa are a different proposition altogether this season and good to see Pal, Khalsa’s manager with a group of lads that will test every team in the league this season.

In a 1st half dominated by WWFC we take a 2 nil lead through goals from Rowan and Joel, only to be pegged back just before half time after the boys failed to carry out one of the basic rules in football – play to the refs whistle. After the ball had clearly crossed the touch line (according to most) the boys stopped playing and the only one who didn’t was the Khalsa striker who turned back into the pitch and slotted home coolly. With both linesman and referee unsighted the goal stood and a lesson to be learned for the future. Fortunately we went straight down the other end and were incredibly lucky to regain our 2 goal advantage when a deep cross into the box was headed into his own net by the luckless Khalsa defender. HT 3-1

A quick start to the 2nd half saw us take a 4-1 lead with Joel’s 2nd clinical finish of the game and from here on we should have seen the game out comfortably. However Khalsa were not on the same page and showed what a hugely improved team they are by fighting their way back into the game and probably controlling a large part of the final 1/3 of the game. They created several chances of their own and scored arguably the best goal of the game to bring the score back to 4-2.

The game eventually finished 4-2 which was overall a fair reflection of the game, however had we have been more clinical in the 1st half the game would have been out of site by half time. Credit must go to Khalsa who were determined to push us all the way and that they did amicably.

Lots of things to work on from a performance perspective, but another 3 points in the bag and that takes us to 7 games played and maximum points to date.

What a scene at the HRI on Saturday! A packed house with home games for the U9’s, U10’s Falcons and U11

Great to see so many boys, girls, parents and families enjoying a glorious morning at the new home of Wellesbourne Wanderers FC.

We welcomed Lillington Juniors U9’s, Warwick Juniors Rovers U10’s & Snitterfield U11’s as our opponents for the day and enjoyed some fabulous football all round.

Here are just a few photos from a great morning

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but finally we have re-launched our website with a completely new look and feel and it even works on mobile!

The site has far more depth and information than ever before and we hope it’ll be a great resource for parents and visiting teams.

A big thank you to Milk Bar Studios, one of our club sponsors, who have been working hard over the summer getting this ready for us. They were also behind the new parent packs that Under 8’s – Under 16’s received earlier in the summer and that all Minis will receive in the next week or so.
