FOOTBALL CLUB
Ipswich Wanderers was first established as an Under 14’s boys team
in 1980 before entering the lowest division of the Ipswich Sunday
League two years later. Since then the club has gone on to put together
a history of which they have every right to be proud.
In 1987 they became founder members of Division One of the
Eastern Counties League. They currently play their home games
at the SHE Sports Ground on Humber Doucy Lane in Suffolk and
their first team competes in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division.
They are a fantastic example of the important role that a club can
play in its local community.
The club put together a solid league campaign last season,
compiling a record of seventeen wins, four draws and nineteen
defeats from their forty matches. This saw them finish in a safe
mid-table position with fifty five points on the board.
This should provide them with a perfect platform from which
to build as they look ahead to their 2017-18 campaign. As long
as they are able to retain their current group of players and can
perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be in
with a good chance of pushing on up the table. It will certainly be
exciting to see how the team gets along.
Ipswich Wanderers is not a club to focus solely upon their
senior section and this is reflected by the fact that they also have
a number of youth sides in place. These teams look to provide
young players from the local area with an opportunity to play the
game in a safe and enjoyable environment in which to play the
game whilst helping them to reach their full potential.
It is important for any club looking to be successful over a
sustained period of time to be able to produce their own talent
and this is an area they appear to have covered. It will certainly
be exciting to see how their youngsters are able to progress over
the coming years.
There is much to admire about the fine set up that Ipswich
Wanderers currently has in place and this is thanks to all of
the hard work that has gone into making the club a success.
Hopefully they will be able to continue in the same manner for
many years to come and everyone at Football Focus Magazine
wishes them the best of luck.
