The reward for our great win at Yate Town on Saturday is an away tie at Southern League Premier South side Hartley Witney on Saturday 13 November in the 1st Round proper of the Buildbase FA Trophy.
Our scheduled home fixture for that day with Highworth Town will now be rearranged.
As usual we will be running a coach to Hartley Witney. If you would like to join us on the “fun bus” please let us know by calling, or emailing Dom Clark on domclarkwillandrovers@gmail.com.
OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT – ALFIE MOULDEN
Willand Rovers are pleased to announce that, tonight, talented young forward Alfie Moulden has left the club to sign an 18-month contract with Weston-super-Mare AFC. Whilst we are saddened to see Alfie go, the Club acknowledges that he is a player of real promise who has been given an opportunity to play at a higher level, an advancement that we are pleased to endorse. His development is testament to the hard work that our management team of Russell Jee and David Steele puts into developing the young players in their squad.
As part of the transfer agreement Willand Rovers have secured the services of striker Ben Griffith and winger Bailey Kempster on extended loan agreements until the end of the season. We have also recently transferred in another exciting prospect from Weston-super-Mare, Travis Yule-Turner, for the remainder of the season.
We would like to thank Scott Bartlett and Weston-super-Mare AFC for their professional approach during negotiations ad would wish them well for the rest of the season.
Everyone at Willand Rovers FC would also wish Alfie every success in his new venture.
Our home league match against AFC Totton, originally scheduled for Sat 30 October, has been rearranged for Weds 1 Dec ko 7.30pm. The rearrangement was necessary due to both clubs being involved in the FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round on 30 October.
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.
