Everyone at WRFC would like to wish all our supporters, sponsors and friends a very Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous and Covid-free New Year.
Remember, we have two big events coming up to entertain you over the festive period: on Monday 27 December we have a home local derby match against our friends from Plymouth Parkway, with kick off at 1pm; and on 31 December at 8pm we will be holding our New Year’s Eve Party with live band K2.
Please support these events if you can.
Please support one of our main sponsors, Corey Webber of Hyland Car Sales Ltd on 11 December. Corey is running a charity car wash at his showroom in Willand with all proceeds going to the Alzheimer’s Society. Go on, give your car an early Christmas present … get it washed!
WRFC is please to present Electric Mayhem performing “live” at the club on 16 October 2021, with music starting at 7.30pm.
As this event is to support the “Kindness for Kirk” charity appeal admission is by donation only, with a suggested donation of £5/person. All donations will go to “Kindness for Kirk”.
Electric Mayhem are a local band who play covers of the great hits from the 70s, 80s 90s and 00s, so you wont be disappointed and we’re sure you’ll have a fun time and be able to dance the night away!
Please come and support us in helping Kirk!

Official Statement by Willand Rovers FC:
We are aware of rumours circulating that WRFC has Covid-19 cases within the club.
This is not the case and as far as we are aware no member of the club or regular user of the club has returned a positive Covid-19 test in the past few days.
We are however aware of two people that attended the club over the weekend of 10 & 11 July that have been “pinged” by NHS Test & Trace as having been proximate to a person or persons that subsequently tested positive for Covid-19. We do not know whether these contacts were made at the club or elsewhere, remote from the club.
As a precautionary measure, and to minimise risk to our members and visitors, WRFC has decided not to open the clubhouse bar on Friday 16 & Saturday 17 July and to postpone our Bingo night, planned for 20 July, until Tuesday 3 August.
Our scheduled pre-season friendly match at Silver Street on Saturday afternoon had already been cancelled by our visitors as they have recently returned a number of positive test results within their club.
At all times WRFC deems the safety and best interests of people attending our premise to be of utmost importance when considering operation of the club. We trust you understand our position of caution in this instance and would apologise for any inconvenience that our restricted opening this weekend may cause.
Bingo Restart further postponed until Tuesday 3 August
Unfortunately, due to two people in the club being “pinged” by the NHS Test & Trace app this week, it has been regretfully decided that as a precautionary measure, and to minimise risk to our members and visitors, the Bingo session planned for 20 July has been postponed.
We now plan to hold our first post-lockdown Bingo on Tuesday 3 August.
Hope to see you all then.
The club is looking for some assistance in the kitchen.
The task involves serving at the hatchery, selling hot food and drink and providing players and officials with their post-match meal.
The hours involved will be Saturday afternoon and Wednesday evenings when there is a home fixture and there’s a guaranteed 19 shifts over an eight-month period.
The position(s) is paid, but if anyone is prepared to undertake the role as an unpaid volunteer, then the club would be extremely grateful.
