An amazing 300 plus supporters came to The Wong last for a pre season friendly. Thank you everyone for your support and thank you to
@bostonunited
for providing the opposition. The youthful visitors came out 3-2 winners in what was a very entertaining game.
Our first team manager
@B_R_O_1
has been bravely speaking out about the abhorrent situation he found himself in whilst simply watching a game of football.
Racism cannot be tolerated. We shall not be silenced.

In these difficult times we would like to thank the continued support of our sponsors. Starting with ex player and manager Andrew Shinn of Shinn Developments Limited who this season kindly sponsored all match day and training kit for our first team management team.
Continuing to smarten up our home. Sad to see the old style dug outs depart but out with the old and in with the new! Huge thanks to Shinn Developments for laying the bases and everyone who helped renovate them. 🔴⚪️
A little over two weeks from the inception of an idea to delivery. Storage tank sunk to negate visual impact, electric pump to negate noise levels.
100’s of volunteer hours in a fortnight to improve the facility that impacts 100’s of local youngsters and adults. Amazing effort!
Congratulations to new club captain
@stevebrown8899

@cj_135
who is now enjoying retirement. Lets hope he doesn't have to wait as long as CJ did to lift some silverware.
