Oo are yer?
We
are a football club based in Hitchin in North Hertfordshire. We have
teams for players from seven years of age upwards.
Most of our teams play in the Royston Crow League. They also
compete in the Hertfordshire FA County Cup and in summer tournaments. Our managers and
administrators are all volunteers, many of them parents of players and
former players. Some of them played for Wymondley Park teams themselves. Our
home ground is at Lucas Lane in Hitchin. It's not that easy to
find if you are a visiting team so click on the link for a map (Here we are).
The club has been going since the early 1980s. It was established because there was insufficient opportunity for local youngsters to play football in the area. The name comes not from the nearby villages of Great and Little Wymondley (although early matches were played there) but because some of the club's founders lived on Wymondley Park estate in Hitchin. You can find out more about the history of the club by clicking here. We would like to hear from former players and supporters who can help us build up fuller picture of our past.
This site provides information for current players and parents and carers and those who wish to get involved. Teams are often looking for new players, particularly over the summer, so watch out for news or contact us and we will put you in touch with right manager.

Jets seek cadets - Under-13s players wanted (New)
The
team that played as Wymondley Wanderers Under-12s last season is being
re-engineered for the coming season as the Wymondley Park Jets
Under-13s. Mahesh, the manager (see Meet the Managers
pages), tells us that, like Arsene Wenger, he is looking for a maximum
of two new players. Interested players can call Mahesh directly on
07767 770811 or contact the club by email. The Jets will have a team
website you can visit by clicking here. Best of luck to the Jets in the new season.
NShefford Tournament - No silverware but a great performance
WPFC
teams left the Shefford Tournament without any winners cups this year
but once again the club put in a great performance. Both the Under-11s
and the Under-13s were narrowly beaten having fought their way to the
finals. The Under-9s only failed to get to the semi finals on goal
difference and the Under-15s also were unlucky not to progress beyond
the group stage. The teams drew praise and admiration from supporters
of other clubs and, be sure, we'll be back next year!
More end of season festivities

Blast from the past
We
are delighted to have been contacted by two members of the very first
WPFC teams from the early 1980s. Matt and Brett Washington say how
pleased they are to hear their old club is thriving - one of them even found himself pictured in a shot on the photo archive page. Then
even more than now Wymondley was a family club - youngsters playing,
one parent as treasurer and the other coaching. Their message includes
some information on the very early days of the club, which has been
included on the history page on this site. For example, the name
Wymondley Park along with a club logo were chosen by a vote by the
players. If you haven't looked at the history page yet, click on it and
have a read. And if you or anyone else can add to it, get in touch.
Your big break?
Sven
got snapped up at the last minute. Mourinho hasn't got the mental
toughness. Ferguson is past it and Arsene lacks a sense of humour. All
of which means it's your big chance.
Wymondley Park's promising team of next-season's Under-10s players need a manager-coach. This will be an important season for the boys as it will decide their starting position in the 11-a-side league so the manager will have to keep them playing quality seven-a-side football while preparing them for the big step up next year.
If you have the commitment and enthusiasm, please get in touch with the club through a manager, committee member or the email address (see left). If you are not FA qualified, we will sponsor your training if you are the right person for the post.

CHAMPIONS!!!!
Under-11s complete a great season for Wymondley Park
T
The Under-11s put the icing on the WPFC cake this season winning their championship playoff against Fairlands on neutral turf at Royston. The vile weather on Sunday (May 25th) contrasted with the skill and determination of both teams. One early goal and a penalty kick late on sealed the 2-0 win (see Match Report page). The Under-11s end the season with a trophy just as they started the pre-season when they won their age group's cup at the Shefford tournament. Many, many congratulations to the boys and to Mick and John for their hard work and belief.
This victory completes a highly successful season for Wymondley Park FC. The Under-11s and Under-15s are promoted as champions, the Under-12s as runners up and both Under-10s teams topped their groups so they will start eleven-a-side matches high up in the pecking order. Well done to all our teams and coaches.

Under-10s do the business
WPFC
proved again this season what a great training ground it provides for
young footballers and what a fantastic pipeline of players it has. Both
Under-10s teams topped their groups. Whether they combine or go on to
form two 11-a-side squads next season, they are likely to start off in
the top division of the Royston Crow League.The 'A' team finished 13 points clear of their group and the 'B' team 12 points clear. Well done to the players, managers and supporters.
Under-15s and Under-12s going up!
The Under-15s, managed by Winston Moulton, are promoted as champions of division three in their first season playing together. A win at Pin Green on April 27 put them above Stotfold to take the crown. The success is all the greater because the team only came together pre-season, comprising two players from the previous season's Under-14s team that disbanded, some players from WPFC Wanderers and a host of players new to the club.
In the League Cup it took Stevenage Town, the top team in division one to knock them out.
The WPFC Under-12s, one of three under-12s teams playing for the club in the season, move to the top division after coming in second, a placing confirmed when they beat third placed Bishop's Stortford 4-3 on April 27. The team, managed by Steve Dawson, Peter Dean and David Mee was promoted last year too.
The team had a good run in the league cup as well, only being knocked out in the semi-final by first division Knebworth.
