Manager’s season round-up:
I would like to congratulate and thank every one of you for your valued contribution and participation playing for the 70s Yellows this season. I think you will all agree that team and individual performances have greatly improved as we progressed through the season.
The final matchday was remarkable. Losing to Southend was a blow. However beating Romford 1-0 was very satisfying and was without doubt our best performance this season. Every player played their part and we played as a team. Losing narrowly 1-0 to a very strong Grays team showed the level of commitment and bodes well for next season.
As always I want to make a special mention and thanks to our two subs Steve and Roger. It is not easy being a sub and they can never know how much game time they will get. The team cannot function without subs and I am sure you will all give these guys a round of thanks. Phil Isles has fitted well into the team and again his contribution has made a difference to the team.
The Final Standings were
Wakering - 41 pts
Grays - 27 pts
Romford - 25 pts
EFWFC - 14 pts (GD -6)
Southend - 14 pts (GD -12)
Billericay - 3 pts
This proves the importance of the last day’s results against both Grays and Romford.
Goalscorers:
Rob Wood 6
John Smith 4
George Fleetwood 2
Dave Holborn, Ray Darnell and Dave Higgs 1 each.
I would also again like to wish Mario’s a continued recovery and look forward to to his participation next season. Gentlemen it has been a pleasure being your manager this season and I now look forward to greater things next season .
Regards Dave.👍⚽️🍺
