Wombwell Town 4-3 New Bohemians
Association Cup 3rd Round
Tuesday 13th November 2018
Historically the town has had a
number of football clubs. The first to represent the village in the FA Cup was
Wombwell Town in 1896, who won the inaugural Yorkshire League in 1899, before
folding in the 1900s. Wombwell Rising Star F.C. briefly played at the beginning
of the 20th century and Wombwell FC formed in 1920, playing in the Midland
League and dissolved in 1934.
The second Wombwell Town were
three times Yorkshire League champions before calling it a day in 2000.
Nowadays there are two teams in the town - Wombwell Main play in the Sheffield
& Hallamshire County Senior League and newcomers Wombwell Town, the third reincarnation of “Town” formed in
the summer, joining the same league in its 2nd Division.

The football pitch is surrounded

is roped off close to the pitch. There is four sets of floodlights on each
side.

The Wellers have won all eleven
games since their formation and they kept up that 100% record with a cup win
over New Bohemians.
They broke the deadlock on
26 minutes with two goals within a minute from Luke Exley and Luke Norbury
scoring straight from the restart. Ryan Smith smashed in the third on 33
minutes before the visitors replied, when a good run down the left set up
Wilker Sousa to make it 3-1. Just before half time a ring wing cross from
Powell was met with a lovely turn and volley by Norbury.
New Bohemians improved in the
second half and got back into it with a 25 yard effort from Callum Saunders.
Elijah Lewis tapped in a third on 83 minutes to make it a nervous finish for
the hosts, but Super Wombwell hung on to claim their place in the quarter-finals.

Refreshment stop off in Wetherby

Nice surprise to be welcomed

the club's formation. Alan produces the programme and does the media outlets,
if fact he does everything except play for or manage the team.
