Today, on World Down Syndrome Day, it would be remiss of us not to make a fuss of the main man in Dudley and our biggest fan Ali Phillips.
Ali brings great joy both to our club and to the wider Dudley community.
#WorldDownSyndromeDay2024
We are delighted to announce Andy Waugh as our new manager. Andy has a wealth of experience and will be a huge asset to the club as we look to move forward in our new chapter!

As many people will now know we recently lost a great friend and an incredible bloke in our Scott Brown. We will be holding a minutes silence on Sunday before our first friendly of the season and we would love for people to come along and show their respects.
We have this morning heard of the loss of a Sunday morning legend and a man vital to the running of Dudley and Weetslade for over 40 years.
RIP Tommy Brewis.
We didn’t quite manage to get the result we wanted on Sunday but what a bunch of lads man! Fingers crossed we bring the next one home and go even madder
