Another eventful start to the season!
A quick summary of achievements so far: –
36 teams all up and running!
The Club won the Regional Norwich Union ‘Join Our Team’ Vote for the West Midlands Region, receiving £13,500 towards the Long Lane Development Fund. We received much PR on the back of this including local Radio Stations and Express and Star.
We have referred 5 players to Walsall FC
We had over 40 players attend exProfessional footballer coaching at Great Wyrley High School. We are looking to repeat this at Whitsun Half term.
This website has been revamped – my personal thanks to Gareth Hardy who has spent much of his unpaid time in updating it. I think you will all agree that the quality of the site puts us ahead of our peers. The Last Sentinel divx
We have 5 teams top of their league with 7 in the top 3 – but the clear success is having 550 playing football in the black and white of Wyrley!
The Mens First Team have reached the semi Final of the Staffs Cup. The semi will be played on February 14, 2009

The Clubs 12th Annual Tournament will take place over the weekend of June 20th and 21st. We will keep to the 3rd weekend in June as we’ve done in previous years – application forms to follow.
