2010-11 SEASON REVIEW
Membership has continued to thrive during the season with 235 registered players - 17 teams playing in the Crowborough & District Junior Football League, 1 team in the Sussex Sunday League and almost 40 x u5/u6s. The Club has continued to invest in training and equipment, with several new Level 1 coaches this season and five of our Saturday helpers attending a Referees Course.
The two MAIN achievements this season were the accreditation of CLUB CHARTER STANDARD STATUS, putting the club on a level with most other clubs in the area and the PITCH PROJECT which has seen the club fundraise £42,000 to create and invest in a large, level pitch on the back field at Sparrows. This was a major achievement for the club, both in fundraising terms and ensuring we are able to support current and future 11-a-side teams. We would like to express our thanks to Wadhurst Parish Council for both their support and financial contribution of this project.
As a ‘community’ club we have again hosted four schools tournaments and provided Duke of Edinburgh practical placements for 3 students.
The timely provision of a second trophy cabinet at Sparrows provided space for a ‘Sportsmanship Trophy’ awarded at the Club’s second succesful Tour, this year to Selsey, West Sussex.
On the field, achievements this season included:
The U15s team reached the Cup Final and finished 3rd in the A Division.
The 13’s in a transitional season finished mid table in the B Division.
The U12 team finished 4th in the A Division & reached the final at the Broadoak tournament. Also for having 2 boys being choosen for next season's U13 East Sussex Team.
The U11’s first year of 11aside was a great success finishing 3rd in their league. They also have 2 boys representing East Susssex.
The U10 team won the A Division and got the Division C Fair Play award, they also won the Langton Tournament and were runners up at Eastbourne, Ridgewaye, Broadoak & Rusthall. They have also managed to have 9 boys choosen for next seasons U11 East Sussex Team and 3 for next seasons U11 West Kent Team a tremendous achievement.
The U9’s performed strongly in both the league and in tournaments.
The U7’s & U8’s both played their first full season of football and have developed well.
The U6’s continue to attract large number of players.
I would like to say a huge ‘thank you’ to Louise Jones, Jo White, Keith Curtis, Dave Kersse and all those who have supported or contributed in any way this season. A big thank you also to all the coaches and squaddies, club committee and sponsors for their dedication and commitment which makes Wadhurst such a great club to be part of.
Here’s to another exiciting season in 2011-12 Trudi O’Neill (Acting Chairman)
