WORDS FROM THE MANAGERGOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE ATTENDING TONIGHTS GAME. HERE WE GO AGAIN FACING AFC SUDBURY PAUL MUSGROVE
SUDBURY
Here we again facing AFC Sudbury it seems we like the two clubs cannot avoid each other in the FA Cup. The next round is drawn and whoever is lucky enough to get the result will face Bury TheTown.last week has been interesting. Losing 2-1 to Lowestoft. The first 20 mins we lost our battles and gave away two poor goals. We started playing our passing game and started to win our battles and guess what I thought we dominated the rest of the game. Loses are never easy to take and it does hut. But as I’ve said second season in this league and everyone wants to beat Saturdayus.
against Sudbury the first half wasn’t acceptable performance simply as that. The second half we improved and could have won it. We stick together and try and put the first half right. These boys work hard and are an honest so please get behind them. AFC

Several former Stowmarket players and staff lined up against their former side in this Suffolk derby, which saw a strong first half performance from the Yellows, with number nine Nnamdi Nwachuku providing a huge goal threat going forward.
Of these former players was striker Josh Mayhew, who closed the first half nabbing a deserved goal for Sudbury. But after a troublesome start the match truly became a game of two halves as Stowmarket ran the show in the latter 45, causing huge problems down the left side for Sudbury. Nathan Stewart again showed his attacking flare, securing a penalty for Stowmarket with some deft dribbling, slammed into the net by an obliging Reggie Lambe. Goalkeeper James Bradbrook stood tall throughout the match, managing to command his box against the countering Sudbury trying to reclaim their lead before the final whistle. Stowmarket almost clutched a goal through substitute Craig Parker at the last, but it was not to be, with the teams headed for a replay at Greens Meadow.

The club now plays at King’s Marsh, Brundon Lane, Sudbury, which Wanderers purchased in 1972 and were previously water meadows, from which two pitches and a training area were created. The clubhouse was opened in 1985 and the dressing rooms in 1991. Floodlights were added in 1992 and the following year a 200-seat stand was built in addition to the two areas behind the goals being covered. In 2000 a new stand, ‘The Shed’, was opened and caters for 300 standing fans.

In addition, Sudbury Town reached the semi-finals twice and also one quarter-final. Sudbury Town played for seven seasons in the Southern League, three of these being in the Premier Division. They won the League Cup and were runners-up on another occasion. They also appeared in 22 finals of the Suffolk Premier Cup, winning it 13 times. Wanderers won the same competition in 1997-98 after a replay.
WANDERERSSUDBURY progressed through the Halstead League, the Essex and Suffolk Border League and then the First and Premier Divisions of the Eastern Counties League. On the way they were three times finalists in the Suffolk Senior Cup at Portman Road, winning the trophy in 199192. In the F.A. Vase the club twice reached the last eight and once the last sixteen. The Jewson League Cup was won in 1999, defeating Felixstowe Port And Town 7-2 at Woodbridge. In their first season 1999-2000, A.F.C. Sudbury managed by ex-Wanderers manager Keith Martin, finished third in the Jewson Premier League and the Reserve side won the Premier League title in the Essex and Suffolk Border League. In the summer of 2000 the club won the first St. Nicholas’ Hospice Charity Cup tournament at Bury Town’s Ram Meadow ground, defeating Mildenhall Town 5-0. finals of the F.A. Vase before losing 2-0 on aggregate to Tiptree United. They also defeated Felixstowe and Walton 3-1 in the final of the Suffolk Premier Cup at Hadleigh.

Season 2003-2004 saw Harvey led his team to the club’s fourth Ridgeons League title and also won the Suffolk Premier Cup again defeating Bury Town 4-0 at Portman Road Ipswich. The club also reached the final of the F.A. Vase but lost 2-0 to Winchester City at the home of Birmingham City, St Andrews. The Reserves lost in the final of the Essex and Suffolk Border League Cup. Improvements were made to the Brundon Lane ground with it becoming fully enclosed, new turnstiles and a fully automated sprinkler system installed. The pitch was also revitalised with a professional groundsman being employed. In 2004-2005 the club were again successful, they won their fifth consecutive Ridgeons Premier League title (a record for the Eastern Counties League), and again reached the final of the F.A. Vase. This was the third year in succession another record at the time, unfortunately they again lost. Didcot Town won 3-2 at White Hart Lane Tottenham in front of 8862 spectators. The semi-final of both the Suffolk Premier Cup and The new season 2005-2006 saw the club continued to play in the Ridgeons Premier League and finished third in the table after leading for the majority of it. The Ridgeons League Cup was won for the first time in the club’s history and the fifth round of the F.A. Vase was also reached. the Ridgeons League Cup were also reached.
Season 2001-2002 saw the club retained the Jewson League and reached the semi-
The Reserve side played in the newly formed Ridgeons Reserve League Southern Division and won that. In the play off between the North and South winners, they were runners up. The highlight of their season was winning the Suffolk Junior Cup at Portman Road Ipswich. For the 2006-2007 season the club decided to accept promotion up the non-league pyramid to Step 4, and a position in the new Ryman League Division One North. The club also changed managers with Mark Morsley taking over from Gary Harvey, to become the club’s third manager since their creation. Morsley joined the club after guiding Needham Market in the previous three seasons and he brought a good backroom staff to King’s Marsh with him. The season panned out to be a good one, reaching the play-off finals in the league and did well in other competitions. Pre-season was fairly ordinary but the start of the Ryman League saw the first four games won. In the F.A. Cup the club made it to the Fourth Qualifying Round going out to a last minute goal to Leatherhead. Success in that and the F.A. Trophy where the First Round was reached going out away at Newport County meant the league games fell behind. Further progression in the Ryman League Cup saw the club reached the Quarter Finals before being defeated at Staines Town also slowed league progress.
STOWMARKETTOWNFC.CO.UK
From the end of December 2006 AFC played only League games (28) something that had not been done in previous seasons due to the F.A. Vase. The league position improved from thirteenth to eventually on the last day of the league season finishing in fifth to clinch the last play-off place.
Results were mixed at the start of the season but AFC maintained a place in the top four for the majority of the season and third and fourth place was for only one week each as it was either top of second place they occupied. In the League Cup Premier Division sides Billericay Town and Chelmsford City were beaten and then Redbridge went the same way. After this the team went on a thirteen match unbeaten league run winning ten and drawing three to keep them in contention for the league title with eventual winners Dartford. Edgware Town were the next League Cup opponents and they were beaten to put the club away in the semi-final at Heybridge Swifts where they comprehensive defeated them 6-0. In this game leading scorer James Rowe took his seasons total to thirty. He was to only score four more in the next twelve games as an injury to him and the club’s other leading scorer Gareth Heath took its toll and they missed a number of important games, including the League Cup Final. The game held at Dartford’s Princes Park ground was against another Premier Division side, Ramsgate. The game was scoreless after 120 minutes and the Kent side won 5-4 on penalties to take the trophy.

A fine 4-2 away win in the play off semi-final against Enfield Town, saw AFC have to travel to Harlow Town. Again the team showed its resilience going two goals down before levelling in the final two minutes. Extra time could not separate the two sides but AFC failed in the penalty shoot out, to miss out on promotion at the first time of asking. The 2007-2008 season will go down as the nearly season. The club nearly won promotion and they nearly won the Ryman League Cup, but nearly was not good enough as they failed in both. The club were still under the guidance of manager Mark Morsley aided by his now assistant Nicky Smith and coach Paul Skingley as the season started, and said an early goodbye in the F.A. Cup with neighbours Bury Town winning at King’s Marsh. In the F.A Trophy AFC also made an early exit losing in the First Qualifying Round at Southern Premier side King’s Lynn in a replay. This combined with a defeat at Mildenhall Town in the Suffolk Premier Cup left only the League and League Cup to battle for.
