Change at the helm
	All the vets would like to thank Tom and Deano for all the excellent work and fun they have brought to Mulbarton vets. They have both decided to move on due to work and family commitments and leave a well trained, organised team who are determined to win something for them this season. Mark and Shane have taken over the reigns and have the full support of Mulbarton vets. Bad boys forever !
Vets in County action
	Bungay football club hosted a veterans football match last Sunday between Norfolk and Suffolk county-both teams were well represented by the top veterans from their respective counties, including some ex professionals. Suffolk played against the wind first half and scored 3 goals from Michael Earrye (Bungay), Mark Grafflin (BAR 129) & Rob Wall (Bury). Then a clever substitution from Norfolk at half time saw Mike Lane enter the fray (mulbarton) He partnered well with Carl Cooper (Mulbarton) and they outpaced and outclassed suffolk. A clever back heel from Mike Lane let Jeff Meggesson in to score and then some fine team combinations left Suffolk standing and Richard Nicholls (Griffin) & Mick Sanders (Cringleford) scored leaving Jeff to finish suffolk off. All exciting stuff.
Wanderers 3 – 0 Wymondham College Res’
	The Wanderers finished off their first season together in fine style with a comprehensive 3 nil win over Wymondham College Reserves. With the slimmest of squads (numbers not weight!) Mulbarton went into the game knowing a point would guarantee promotion. And this looked even more likely after 16 minutes. A penalty smashed home by Matty Metcalf to take his tally to 13 for the season. 1 – 0 The Wanderers doubled their lead after 32 minutes. A superb cross by Andy Shannon was met by the shiny head of Carl Cooper The home team almost set up camp in the Wymondham half but had to wait until the 70th minute for their 3rd. A low and “hard” free kick by Richard Churchyard deceived the keeper to find the back of the net A great way to finish a successful season which see’s the Wanderers promoted A big thank you from the management to each and every player who has given their all in training and the games since getting together in early August We look forward to continuing the success in 09/10 !!
