Good News For the Vets

The Veterans will be playing in the Premier Division next season.

At the Leathes Prior Veterans League AGM it was decided to allow several new teams to enter the league, and to promote several of the existing teams up a division to accomodate them. As a result, Mulbarton Wanderers Veterans, who finished 3rd in the Championship last season, have been promoted to the Premier Division.

After a tough start to the campaign, Andy Shannon's Vets picked up a series of good results, and were challenging for a top 2 finish right to the end, only to fall at the final hurdle. A 3rd placed finish was a good result for a team in "transition", and it was hoped that they would be able to push on and challenge for promotion this season before the announcement was made.

The Premier Division is home to the treble winners Cringleford Vets, as well as quality sides Quebec and Tavern Old Boys. Wanderers are joined by Taverham and Attleborough Town, whom we had some cracking encounters with last season.

A big challenge lies ahead, but its one that the lads will be up for taking on.

If any player (aged over 35 on September 1st 2017) wishes to join, please get in touch.
