From the Directors’ Box
G
ood afternoon and welcome to our
visitors today, Bishops Cleeve.
We welcome the players, directors
and supporters to our newly named
W+S Stadium and extend our hospitality to all. Enjoy your day on the south
coast in what is set to be glorious
weather.
we'd hoped but like many things we
have relied on a great deal of goodwill
with this project and many of you will
know that a good website comes at a
high cost. We are there now and I'd
like to thank Paul Barlow for the effort
he has put in to ensure we have a
website to be proud of.
So, here it is! The first game in the
2016/17 campaign and following a fantastic pre season I cannot wait to see
the boys in action again today. I'd firstly like to acknowledge all the hard work
by Matty and the coaching staff, the
new brand of football is very evident
and an absolute pleasure to watch.
The players have worked particularly
hard too and the level of motivation is
high, this has been demonstrated in
every pre season game, a real determination to entertain and of course the
desire to win. So now down to business, 3 points to play for today and
Bishops Cleeve will come here and try
to spoil the party naturally. We cannot
afford to underestimate any opposition
so we know we will have to play at the
top of our game today. The lads are
ready, let's get behind them on the terraces, make some noise for the boys!
Director wise I won't lie, it's a struggle.
Again with clubs at our level the board
consists of people who have full time
jobs as well as the director responsibilities at the club. We've had a couple of
directors resign because they simply
couldn't afford the time to the club. I
want to reiterate again that WTFC is a
business and running a business takes
a lot of time and hard work which many
don't see. Some people think a Director should be measured on match day
attendance but whilst I agree it is important to have director presence, it is
what's going on at a business level
which ensures 11 men go out on the
pitch on a match day and it's important
the team know they are backed by a
healthy and sustainable business.
Many people including directors are
involved 7 days a week not just on
match day and I'd like people to understand this.
Behind the scenes we continue to promote the club in every possible way
and have secured some nice sponsorship deals but there's room for more.
The economic climate I don't need to
tell you is difficult so companies are
being careful with spend but there is a
huge willingness to help and a definite
curiosity about the season ahead so on
that basis we should see some new
faces this season. Our website is now
up and running. It's taken longer than
Back to the matter in hand. Let's get
out there and start the season as we
mean to go on. My prediction is for a
successful season. I think we will
achieve well in the league and make
good progress in the cup competitions. One thing I know we will do is
entertain, bring it on!
Up the magpies!
Paula
From the Dugout
G
ood afternoon everyone and
welcome to our season opener
at the W&S Stadium, I would
like to welcome the players, staff and
officials from Bishops Cleeve to Wimborne.
With 6 games played over pre season
the work load on the players has been
a lot and it’s a credit to them as well as
all the staff involved on how we have
coped. Performances have been
pleasing and the players certainly look
focused for the new season ahead.
In my very short managerial career the
toughest job so far is to choose a starting line up for today’s game, with so
many of the players all in form over pre
season it will be a difficult decision to
make as a manager.
We have managed to stay relatively
injury free which is always a concern
over pre season with so many games
and training sessions, Dan Cann is
looking towards the end of August to
be back in with us, Jamie I am hoping
will be fit for today’s game.
The league this season looks very
competitive, every game will be hard
fought and there are some cracking
fixtures for the players to look forward
to, August will also see us play 7
games in 25 days, a tall order for a
squad of our size, over this period the
whole squad will need to be utilized
and with the players in form I have no
major concerns over this.
I am pleased to start with a home
game but we then have 2 away games
before returning here again to play
Taunton. Looking at the fixtures I feel
we have a tough start to our league
campaign, but I have a lot of belief in
these players who have already shown
me that they have the desire and ability to compete.
I hope you all enjoy the game today

Wimborne Town 2 Dorchester Town 2 - 26 July 2016 - Graham Dunn reports
In an entertaining, and, at times, competitive pre-season friendly, Wimborne
twice came from a goal behind to draw
2-2 with their fellow Dorset Magpies.
The game started at a high tempo, with
both sides keeping possession well
and probing for an opening. It was the
home side who had the first attempt on
goal when O'Sullivan played in Luke
Holmes, but his well-hit shot went just
over. At the other end the visitors took
a quick free-kick but a weak shot was
comfortably saved by O'Flaherty.
On 14 minutes Wimborne thought they
had opened the scoring. Clever play
set-up Hester on the left, and his cross
was steered into the net by Toby Holmes, but the lineo flagged for off-side.
Jamie Davidson played Toby Holmes
through, but an alert defender cleared.
At the other end a fierce low cross-shot
was well-saved by O'Flaherty.
The opening goal came after 23 minutes. A couple of defensive mistakes
by Wimborne were punished by the
alert Mateus who coolly finished.
The game flowed from end-to-end as
Wimborne sought an equaliser. Jamie
Davidson's through ball nearly put Leonard in on goal, shortly before Wimborne's best effort of the game so far.
Stokoe and Toby Holmes fought hard
for possession inside the Dorchester
half, Holmes came away with the ball
and under great pressure fashioned a
half-chance, but his shot hit the post
and rolled away to safety.
But only a minute later, Wimborne
scored the equaliser they deserved.
Hester's inch-perfect free-kick was met
with a soaring header by Stokoe which
gave 'keeper Murphy little chance.
Two minutes later Dorchester's Oldring
and Smeeton clashed heads in going
for the same ball, and after extensive
treatment both left the field with cuts.
Almost immediately after the re-start,
Dorchester caught Wimborne napping,
and the dangerous Sayers toe-poked
the ball home. Then Wimborne suffered an injury blow when Jamie Davidson rolled his ankle.
Luke Holmes' passes set-up opportunities for Toby Holmes and Leonard, but
the visitors held on to their lead.
The good football continued in the second half. Good combinations down the
right ended with Luke Holmes cross
being headed goalwards by Toby Holmes. Wimborne's defence managed to
scramble the ball away from a fluent
Dorchester attack down the left. Toby
then set-up Stokoe for a well-hit shot.
Josh Hartley came on as sub, and with
almost his first pass played Leonard in
for a shot. Hartley himself then struck a
volley just wide.
Then on 75 minutes came the goal of
the game. Maybury strode forward
from central defence, eluded the tackles of the Dorchester mid-field before
unleashing a belter of a shot inside
Murphy's right-hand post.
Shortly after, Stokoe lost possession
deep in his own half but was saved
firstly by keeper O'Flaherty and then
Sam Davidson.
The good football continued until the
end, although there were some surprisingly tough challenges for a "friendly". The game finished 2-2, and both
teams came away with great credit.
Man of the Match - Billy Maybury.
From the Dressing Room
H
i, and welcome to our first
league game of the new season. And after a good pre-season under the new management team,
the boys are absolutely buzzing and
can't wait to get started.
But first I want to talk about our final 2
pre-season games against Dorchester,
on the Tuesday night, when we twice
came from behind to draw 2-2, and
then last Saturday against Gosport
Borough, when we lost 3-2 after being
ahead 2-0 on the half hour.
The boss wanted to rest players during
the pre-season games, so it was my
turn to sit out the game against
Dorchester, who play in the Southern
Premier Division. That meant I got to
watch the game, although it was from
a crowded dug-out, and the way the
boys play is certainly easy on the eye,
compared to last season. We're encouraged to play, and I'm sure you
supporters can see that.
We went 1-0 down, in my opinion
against the run of play. Toby put the
ball in the net, but it was disallowed for
off-side. and then Stokes and Toby
won the ball in mid-field, and Toby created a terrific chance for himself out of
nothing, and was unlucky to only hit
the post. But we didn't have to wait too
long before Stokes scored with a great
header from Paddy's superb free-kick
to equalise.
We conceded a second before Billy
equalised with a great individual goal.
It seems that we're creating and scoring really good goals, but giving away
quite soft ones. But with the way we
play now, there are bound to be some
mistakes, and sometimes you get punished from them. If we do lose the ball
in defensive positions we've got to
work together to get it back and prevent scoring opportunities.
The Gosport game last Saturday was
another tough test for us, as they play
in the league that Poole were promoted to. We had quite a different backline with Stefan on the right, and Declan partnering me in the middle. Both
lads did really well, and will have given
the boss lots to think about as he decided on his starting line-up for today.
You can always rely on Dec.
We started well, and built from the
back. We've got ability all over the
park, and dictated the game in the first
half. Billy's penalty, made by a cracking cross-field pass from one of our
defenders (I'm too modest to mention
who that was), and Luke's super strike
gave us a 2-0 lead. We’ve scored a
few from distance in these games, it’s
about time I got another. Again we
conceded a rather soft goal to go in
2-1 ahead.
We knew they'd come at us in the second half, and that's what happened.
After they'd equalised we got a bit ragged, and shipped a third. But the boys
showed great character and finished
strongly.
Overall we're pleased with our pre
season. Personally, even at 31, I'm
like a coiled spring waiting for the season proper to start.
Bring it on!
Scott Arnold
Wimborne Town 2 Gosport Borough 3 - 30 July 2016 - Graham Dunn reports
Although Wimborne's final pre-season
game resulted in a first defeat, their
impressive performance against
Vanarama National South opponents
deserved at least a draw.
Manager Matty Holmes changed the
starting line-up to rest some players
and give others the opportunity to impress. Pat O'Flaherty was in goal; the
back-line was Stefan Penny, Scott Arnold, Declan Randall and Paddy Hester; the midfield was Dan O'Sullivan,
Louis Kellaway, James Stokoe, Luke
Holmes and Sam Bayston; with Billy
Maybury up front.
It was the home side who quickly settled into their passing game, and created the first chance. Penny and
Kellaway, who covered every blade of
grass on the pitch, combined down the
right to set up Maybury for a cross.
Then Holmes' cross was met by Bayston, but his volley was too high.
It was 10 minutes before Gosport had
a sight of the Wimborne goal as exWinchester City's Warren Bentley's
cross was cleared.
On 14 minutes the Magpies went
ahead. An inch-perfect cross-field ball
from skipper Arnold found Bayston,
and his jinking run was stopped by a
foul inside the box. Maybury coolly
finished from the spot.
Wimborne continued to play the better
football. They built from the back,
playing intelligently through mid-field,
and caused their higher league opponents lots of problems. Although Gosport had threatened O'Flaherty's goal
a couple of times, it was no surprise
when Wimborne deservedly extended
their lead on the half-hour. Holmes
picked up the ball in the inside-left
channel, and picked his spot form 25
yards with a majestic strike.
The visiting 'keeper, Martin Rice, had
to be substituted shortly after, and with
no 'keeper on the bench, Chris Flood
took his place. Disappointingly, Wimborne only tested him on a couple of
occasions during the rest of the game.
Having been almost coasting, Wimborne gave away a soft goal after 40
minutes. From wide on the left, Wilde
was allowed to play the ball into the
middle for Dawson to deceive
O'Flaherty with a mis-hit shot. The
goal clearly gave Gosport hope.
Five minutes into the second period,
and Gosport equalised. Wimborne lost
possession on the edge of the box,
and the experienced Wright took full
advantage. Fifteen minutes later another defensive mistake allowed Bentley an opportunity, and he made no
mistake from the left of the goal area.
There was a flurry of substitutions on
both sides - for Wimborne Taylor Leonard, Ryan Johnson, and Jack
Kinge-Phillips came on.
There was a danger that having gone
behind, the Magpies would capitulate,
but they dug deep, and came back
strongly. O'Flaherty making an instinctive save to keep the deficit to a single
goal. At the other end, Maybury's free
kick was well held by the substitute
keeper, and Holmes' mazy dribble
ended with a shot just over.
As much as Wimborne pressed, the
Gosport defence held firm, and the
game ended with no further score.

Congratulations to all our winners.
Dave and Hayley Moore presented a
new award this season in memory of
their son Steve. We asked them to tell
us about the
award, and why
Scott Arnold was
the winner this
year.
We decided this
was an appropriate award as Steve was always
dedicated to his
club on and off the
field. Whether
training with the
youngsters or
playing,he would
always play to the
max.
This year’s winner, Scott Arnold,
was a good friend
of Steve's and shows the same attributes. Scott showed his loyalty
when the club ran into financial diffi-
culties and didn't do like many by
jumping ship. Scott has a great attitude and was a very good choice to
take this award in its
first year.
The award is open to
all not just first teamers, but development
and u 18 players as
well as any of the other people who contribute and work at
the club and am sure
there will be many in
contention this season.
We wish Matty Holmes the very best of
luck in his first managerial roll and know
he will try and get
WTFC to play all the
right way.
Our photo shows Hayley and Dave with
Scott and the trophy. Thanks guys.

WTFC Development Squad - Lee Purton
The Development Squad is a brand
new set up for the 2016-2017 season
and replaces the old Reserve Team
from previous seasons .
This comes on the back of some very
successful trials which took place in
May and were attended by over 70
players . The ages ranged from 16-25 ,
we feel that if a player is over 25 and
still playing Reserve team football or
Development football then they may
well have missed the oppurtunity to
play at a higher level so decided to focus on the younger age groups to get
them in and then try and develop the
players within the football club while
they are with us .
The aim is to get the players from the
Development Squad into the 1st team
Squad and then eventually into the 1st
team's starting 11 .
The Development Squad is set up to
monitor players and when we feel the
time is right to try and push them further we work closely with Matty to inte-
Wyvern Combination League
Midweek Division
AFC Portchester
Bashley
Basingstoke Town
Dorchester Town
Eastleigh
Gosport Borough
Moneyfields
Salisbury
Wimborne Town
Winchester City
grate them into the first team squad. If
the player isn't ready then we have him
back in the Development Squad and
monitor his progress further . This progression has already worked successfully for Josh Hartley who has signed
on for the first team squad from the
development squad.
The Development Squad is run by Lee
Purton who is assisted by Steve Webber. They will be playing in The Wyvern Midweek League with the first
game away to AFC Porchester on the
24th August ko 7.45 .
The Development Squad's ultimate
goal is to provide Matty and the 1st
team with players pushing for places
not only in the 1st team squad but in
the 1st team’s starting 11 on a regular
basis. With the new infrastructure within the club from the 1st team downwards it looks like the first season for
the Development Squad will hopefully
be a successful one .

The Big Interview - Matty Holmes
What’s your football history?
My youth football was played for Limbury Boys Club in Luton and I also
trained with the Luton Town juniors.
Luton released me at 15 and I signed
for AFC Bournemouth as an apprentice. Working through the AFCB ranks,
I made my 1st Team debut v Derby in
the Simod Cup in 1988 and my first
league appearance v Barnsley in April
1989. While at Bournemouth I was
loaned to Weymouth and Cardiff City.
After 124 league and cup appearances
I moved to West Ham in a £100,000
deal, played in the Premiership making
86 league and cup games before a
£1.2 m move to Blackburn Rovers,
where I appeared in the Champions
League and Premiership, making 12
appearances before a £250,000 move
to Charlton.
A broken leg limited appearances to
only 19 league and cup games before
retiring from professional football in
2000. I played for Dorchester, making
170 appearances over 4 seasons in
the Southern League before retiring in
2004 to pursue a coaching career with
my own private soccer school.
I joined the AFC Bournemouth Academy in 2006 to run the 7-11 age groups
and after 10 years I left to be appointed Manager of Wimborne Town FC.
What prompted you to move into management now?
Felt it was the time after so long coaching youth players.
How are you coping with the media
attention?
I have some excellent assistants and
we share the duties
Have there been any surprises, good
or not, since you became Manager?
None so far… but I’m sure there will be
What are your first thoughts of WTFC?
I have known the club for a long time,
and been to games over the past few
years. All positives in most parts so far.
You've assembled a great management team. What are their roles?
Danny is the assistant manager and
coach, Shane is the coach, John Mace
assists me in team duties and helps
with the keepers, Jason and Matt head
the goalkeepers, Jeff is kit as well as
many other duties, John is Physio
Who are the players who are new to
WTFC this season?
Toby from Dorchester, Luke has returned for the ? not sure how many
times, Jamie has also returned, Dan
also had a spell here a while ago,
Paddy and Steff from Hamworthy,
How has pre-season been?
Very pleased with pre-season, the
players have worked extremely hard
Are there likely to be any additions to
the squad?
It is a small squad - injuries and suspensions will give opportunities to the
development squad players in time…
What would be a successful season?
Progress in a cup and win games..
Which teams in our division do you
think will be the ones to beat?
I suppose the obvious ones that people have talked about, if you don’t treat
any team with respect then any team
will be difficult.
Thanks for your time, Matty
On behalf of all the Magpies supporters,
welcome to the Club.
Non-League Paper - July 24 2016 - “Red Peril!”
Non-League chiefs have welcomed a
crackdown on bad behaviour - and
warned clubs to expect a barrage of
red and yellow cards if they don’t get
their house in order.
Two weeks ago, the Premier League,
Football League and FA introduced
new rules to combat ‘intolerable behaviour’ by players and managers that
had reached ‘unacceptable levels’.
They have ordered referees throughout the game to take decisive action.
Rede cards will now be automatically
issued to players who confront match
officials, use offensive language, or
make objectionable gestures towards
them.
Managers and coaches will also come
under scrutiny when the season kicks
off with technical areas to be more rigorously monitored. While the measures have been taken up by the top
echelons of the game, Non-League will
also be impacted.
Evo-Stik NPL chairman Mark Harris
said: “Anything to improve conduct,
especially involving referees, is to be
encouraged, but there is no question
this will take a while to bed in. From us
it’s a cautious welcome. Clubs will
need to ensure players are fully briefed
on this. The last thing anyone wants is
to see a barrage of red cards brandished. We’re likely to see some fall
foul of this, especially early on.”
New Evo-Stik Southern League chairman Terry Barratt agreed, adding: “Irt’s
an important step and stronger action
is something I have been championing
for a while. But now clubs have to ensure they carry this message forward we don’t want to see nobody left on
the pitch and for it to spoil matches.”

Evo-Stik League Southern News
Bideford Shake Off Tax Worries - Non-League Paper 24 July 2016
Bideford AFC have confirmed that they are debt-free for the first time since the
club was reformed almost 30 years ago.
The Robins, who had suffered financial problems, were reborn as Bideford AFC
1987 but their future was under threat again after a winding-up petition was
brought against them by HM Revenue & Customs.
The petition, lodged on June 23 over unpaid tax, has now ben cleared after the
club settled the outstanding amount last week. It means Bideford have avoided
a scheduled High Court appearance and can now look ahead to the new season
with aspirations of returning to the Southern Premier at the first time of asking.
Director Ian Knight said that the debt carried over from a similar petition last
summer. “We were told we hadn’t paid everything the tax man thought we
should pay from last year. We thought we had, but HMRC did some more digging and said they wanted more money from us. The club has now paid off all its
debt to HMRC. In 1987 the club went under and we formed under the new banner. It is the first time since then that this club has been debt-free.”

Wimborne Town F.C. - short history
Wimborne Town was formed in 1878 and became a founder member of the
Dorset County FA in 1887.
In the 1930’s the Club won the Dorset Division Two title three times, the Dorset
Junior Challenge Cup twice and the Dorset Junior Amateur Cup four times.
Wimborne’s first senior honour came in 1937 with the Dorset Senior Amateur
Cup, a feat not repeated until 1964. In 1981, Wimborne won the Dorset League
Division One championship without losing a match. The same year, Wimborne
joined the Western League.
Wimborne Town joined the Wessex League in 1987 and so began a glittering
chapter in the Club’s history. Over the following 22 years they won the Wessex
League three times (1991/2, 1993/93 & 1999/00) and the Magpies also lifted the
Wessex League Cup in 1993/94 to become the first team to achieve the League
and Cup double. They repeated that feat in 1999/00 and also won the Dorset
Senior Challenge Cup in 1991/92 and 1996/97.
Wimborne Town also have a history of achievement in FA competitions. In
1982/83, they reached the FA Cup First Round where they played Aldershot, then
a league side. The dream ended there, however, with a 4-0 defeat.
And in 1992, the Club reached the FA Vase final, thus becoming the first ever
Dorset club to play at Wembley. On a memorable day, under manager Alex Pike,
the Magpies lifted the trophy with a 5-3 win over holders Guiseley. That same
season, Wimborne also won the Dorset Senior Challenge Cup and Wessex
League championship to complete an historic treble triumph.
2009/10 was another milestone for the Magpies as they gained promotion to the
Southern League for the first time in the Club’s history. After a difficult first two
seasons Wimborne have become established in the league.
In 2014/15, after a run of 4 victories, the Magpies reached the FA Trophy first
round proper for the first time in the Club's history. A 3-0 home defeat by Oxford
City of the Conference North ended the excitement.
A disappointing start to the 2015/16 season led to Steve Cuss resigning as
Manager in November. Club stalwart Paul Roast took over as caretaker boss
before Simon Browne was appointed as Manager. During this time new Directors
came on board, but “due diligence” of the finances uncovered a large deficit.
Despite the playing budget being slashed, and most of the squad leaving, relegation was avoided. Off the field, a great effort led to the financial position being
resolved.
For the 2016/17 season there is renewed optimism at WTFC. A new Board is in
place, Matty Holmes has taken over as Manager, and a strong squad assembled.

A brief history of Bishops Cleeve F.C.
Founded
1905
County Members
Gloucestershire Football Association
Southern League History 2006 – present day
Hellenic League History 1983 – 2006
In their long history Bishops Cleeve have led a much more nomadic existence
than many clubs. The enforced move to Kayte Lane in 1997 came about due to
the old ground being sold by the landlord.
The club enjoyed a brief period of success in the late 60s – gaining promotion
from the Cheltenham League and winning four Championships in their six seasons in the Glos. Northern Senior League.
After dropping back to the Cheltenham League, Cleeve gained promotion into the
Hellenic League in 1983. They won the Div One Championship and promotion to
the Premier Division at the fourth attempt.
The five seasons in the Premier Division proved to be a struggle for the Club,
although the team won the Premier Cup at the first attempt. The return to Division
One proved the catalyst for a period of rebuilding, on and off the pitch.
The Club needed to enter into a number of ground share agreements to preserve
their League status – Forest Green Rovers, Moreton Town, Wollen Sports and
Highworth all allowed us to use their grounds. This difficult period galvanised our
club members, and the club was kept running by the efforts of a few stalwarts
In 2001 the team won promotion back to the Hellenic Premier Division, and had
to enter into another ground share at Evesham United!
2003 & 2004 proved to be a landmark period for the club – returning to ‘The Lane’
after the new Stand and floodlights were approved, achieving FA Charter Standard for Football in the Community, and the completion of the building and facilities.
In 2006 the team gained promotion to the Southern League, joining the Midland
Division before being moved to the South & West Division a few seasons later.
The club has enjoyed mixed fortunes in their Southern League time, generally
enjoying mid-table security. In 2011/12 the club finished 11th with their best ever
points haul and reached the Gloucestershire Senior Cup final.
2013/14 saw local lad Stephen Cleal take charge with Derek Lightstone, as his
assistant, both had a long history with the club and they forged a close link with
our Second and Third teams – as well a community tie to Bishops Cleeve Colts
Youth section – the future of the club seems much more secure on and off the
field of play. After surviving relegation in their first season they put together a
competitive team finishing 12th in the league and losing 1-0 to Forest Green
Rovers in the County FA Senior Cup.
From the Daily Echo Archives
Wimborne Town 4 Bishops Cleeve 1 - FA Vase 3rd Round - 10 Dec 2005
DOUBLES from Paul Rideout and
Scott Arnold saw Wimborne storm
into the last 32 of the FA Vase with a
4-1 battering of Bishops Cleeve.
The Magpies' duo turned up the heat
against the highly-fancied Hellenic
Premier Division outfit, although the
visitors had the audacity to take the
lead after just 10 minutes.
Jubilant Wimborne boss Paul Arnold
said: "We have slipped into a pattern
of conceding early goals of late, but
we turned it around and it was a brilliant performance.
"I was very proud of the way they
played and now we're looking for a
kind draw in the next round."
Despite the early setback, the home
side hit back midway through the first
half with a terrific strike from the manager's son as he timed his run to
spring the offside trap and curled
home an exquisite finish from 30
yards.
Rideout, who had earlier spurned two
glorious chances, had the perfect
chance to make amends from the
penalty spot just before the interval as
Mark Kenway was wrestled to the
ground. He tucked home from 12
yards with minimal fuss and did the
honours again on the hour mark when
he rattled home another penalty.
This time it was Stuart Cooper's cross
for Rideout whose header was handled by a Bishops defender inside the
box.
With Wimborne well in control, they
put a satisfying gloss on the final
score 10 minutes from time as Ben
Griffiths burst forward to square for
Arnold who tapped home his second
of the game.
Arnold senior said: "It was a great day
for the club. There were 287 spectators who created a great atmosphere
and the bar was buzzing afterwards."
While he would like nothing more than
to emulate the famous Wimborne
class of '92 who lifted the FA Vase at
Wembley, Arnold remains cautious
about his side's prospects.
He said: "We'd love to go as far as we
can in the competition. We know
there are some quality sides left in it
and the games get harder the further
you go.
"But we'll be keeping a close eye on
the draw today and you never know
what might happen."

Where are they now? - Franklyn Clarke
In the first of our new occasional feature, we catch up with Franklyn Clarke who
made 36 appearances for us between 2014 and 2016, scoring 4 goals. Franklyn
has recently signed a professional contract with York City who will play in the
National League after being relegated from League Two last season.
Who did you play for after leaving
Wimborne, and how did you get on
there?
Afer Wimborne was Dorchester - I got
on well there. I hit the ground running
with a goal against Weymouth on my
debut on Boxing Day - it doesn't get
much better really.
What led you to York? Did you have
trials elsewhere?
I signed my first pro deal just over a
week ago now, and I couldn't be happier.
An agent, who is now my agent, got in
touch with me after I was recommended to him. He was doing some work
with York at the time and recommended me to the club who said they where
happy to have a look at me.
I didn't trial anywhere else.
I had a couple of offers down south,
one was Havant and Waterloovile but
York was too good of an opportunity to
turn down.
Are you still doing your Bournemouth
University course?
No. I dropped out of university after my
first year as I realised what I wanted to
do I could without a degree. I wanted
to be a coach, and still have ambitions
Thanks for taking the time to answer our
questions, Franklyn.
We wish you every success in your professional career, and look forward to
following your progress.
The photo shows Franklyn playing for
York City
to do so once I stop playing so I'm going to climb the coaching ladder.
What is now your ambition in football?
My football ambition now is to work
harder than I ever have before and
who knows what could happen. Going
in to train everyday is the dream and
I'm sure doing that I will develop even
more.
What’s your advice to a youngster
hoping for a career in football?
My advice for young players is to practise, practise, practise and maintain a
good attitude even if your other players don't do things right.
Try and keep how you go about your
business as professional as you can.
Believe in yourself.
Most of all work hard and have the
right attitude.
I want to just say a special thank you
to Steve Cuss for giving me the opportunity in the first place. Top man.
All the best to everyone at Wimborne
for the coming season and future, and
thank you to everyone involved with
the club.
Non-League Paper Programme Column - Steve Coney
NON-LEAGUE fans across the country,
rejoice! No longer must you spend your
Saturday afternoons traipsing around
shopping centres - proper football’s
back!
Of course we’ve had pre-season for the
last month but with nothing riding on
the results, it’s not quite the same as
the real thing.
In the National League, we waved
goodbye to Cheltenham Town and
Grimsby Town and welcomed back Dagenham & Redbridge and York City.
Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham have
proven in the past two seasons that
relegated sides can bounce back at the
first attempt but it’s far from easy.
Luckily for the Daggers, they have one
of the shrewdest managers in the business at this level and you’d be a fool
for backing against John Still.
The man who masterminded Luton
Town’s return to the Football League
knows Non-League inside out and it
would be no surprise to see the Daggers at the top.
York boss Jackie McNamara certainly
has an impressive footballing CV - over
250 appearances for Celtic and 33
caps for Scotland - but as we all know,
that doesn’t mean much in the National
League.
Plenty of big names have come… and
plenty have failed. Credit must go to
McNamara for sticking with the Minstermen and wanting a crack at taking
them back into the Football League.
And while he may not have known too
much about this level of football, he
has certainly made some shrewd signings which should stand them in good
stead for the long campaign ahead.
Forest Green Rovers, defeated in the
promotion final at Wembley last season, are the bookies’ favourites and
you can see why.
With ex-Peterborough and Swindon
boss Mark Cooper now at the helm,
you would expect them to be a bit
tougher than in recent years.
They’ve brought in some youth at the
back and despite losing the imposing
Jon Parkin, signing Matt Tubbs could
be a masterstroke.
If Cooper can get him back to anywhere near his best, he’ll be in with a
shot of the golden boot and will provide
a massive boost to Rovers.
Much like Forest Green, Eastleigh will
be tipped again due to their generous
budget and with the hungry Chris Todd
in charge, they have a chance.
In the South, it’s also extremely even
although Ebbsfleet United will once
again start the campaign as favourites.
Whitehawk, Chelmsford, Maidenhead
and Welling will all expecting to compete but there is room for one or two
surprise packages to make their mark.
At Step 3, the Northern Premier
League and Ryman Premier League
have another week to wait (sorry!) but
the Southern League also kick off today.
Full-time outfit Basingstoke, managed
by Non-League legend Terry Brown,
will be among the favourites but expect
the likes of Leamington, Weymouth,
Slough, Kettering and Hayes & Yeading to also be strong.
Regardless of the team you support, it
looks like another cracking season of
Non-League action is finally upon us!
Summer Soccer Schools
Matty Holmes will be running a series of soccer schools at WTFC for boys & girls
during the summer holidays. There are specific schools for:
6-12 year olds on Aug 15 & 16: 10am - 3pm (£15 per day or £25 for both days);
13-15 year olds on Aug 10 & 11: 10am - 3pm (£15 per day or £25 for both days);
16-19 year olds on Aug 8 & 17: 10am - 3pm (£15 per day).
Each school's programme has been tailored by Matty to deliver coaching and
development skills specific to that age group. These represent great opportunities for children & youth to learn from the best in the business.
Don't delay, book your spaces today; email Matty on:

A message from Toby Holmes
On the Saturday morning before
our first league game of the season (that’s today- Ed), I’m going
to shave my head for charity as a
very close friend of mine is going
through treatment for cancer at
the moment, and has lost all his
hair.
I have a donation page online,
and I have also put a donation
box behind the bar at the Club.
I’m doing it in aid of “Brave the
shave”, and my friend’s name is
Liam Bartlett.

WTFC Supporters Club
The Supporters Club was set-up last season with Chris Brown in the Chair.
Due to work commitments Chris has had to step down, and Chris Dale has taken
over the role. We caught up with Chris D and asked him to introduce himself,
and to tell us about the Supporters Club.
When did you start supporting the
Magpies?
My granddad took my brother and me
to my first game in 1990. I fell in love
with the Club, and have been supporting them ever since.
Who's your favourite all-time Wimborne player?
Scotty Arnold. He played for us then
left for a couple of seasons, but came
back. He's a great player and a proper
Club Captain.
What's the best Wimborne game
you've seen?
The most memorable was the home
Vase semi-final against Bamber
Bridge in 1992. I can still see skipper
Taffy Richardson sitting on the ball in
the corner near the end of the game.
Of course I then went to Wembley to
see the boys win 5-3 against Guiseley
- what a day that was!
Tell us about the Supporters Club
For me the main purposes of the Supporters Club are to get supporters onside with the Football Club, and to get
supporters to know each other better.
Which is the best ground to visit?
That's a difficult question. For me it
comes down to the home team's supporters. We've always had good banter with the fans at Yate.
But I'll go for Bridgwater. Like us you'll
get a good group of lads behind the
goal singing and chanting. There was
one game when both sets of supporters had to stand behind the same
goal. There was some great banter,
and at the end of the game we all
shook hands and had a drink together
in the clubhouse.
We all have one thing in common, and
that's a passion for this football club.
I've got involved because I want to
give something back to the Club.
To join, or renew your membership,
contact me or Bryan at one of the
games. I'll be helping to run the Club
Shop this season, and Bryan sells the
50-50 tickets.
I'd like to organise some events when
we can all get together, and we're hoping to sell supporters training tops.
Club members receive a £2 discount
on coach travel to away games.
And finally, I'd love to hear your ideas
on what we can do in the future.
Come on you Maggies!
Thanks for your time, Chris.
And all the best in your new role.

I was playing Football Manager on my
PC when I was offered the Scotland
job. I knew it was a poor squad with no
future, so I declined the offer. I then
put the phone down and got back to
Football Manager.
My girlfriend just split up with me because she thinks I’m obsessed with
football. Shame, really, because I was
going out with her for three seasons.
I met a fairy today who granted me
one wish.
“I want to live forever,” I said.
“Sorry,” said the fairy, “I’m not allowed
to grant wishes like that.”
“Fine,” I said, “I want to die when Liverpool win the Premier League.”
“You crafty old thing!” said the fairy.
Man United have rested Wayne Rooney, Juan mata and Mark Clattenburg
for next week’s game against Swansea.
