Anglian Combination Division One
at The Footpath, Poringland, Norfolk
Poringland Wanderers (3)5 Caister United (0)2
Admission: N/A Programme: £1 Attendance: 28
Sandwiched between my two big pre-Christmas Euro hops (last week Spain, next week Czech Republic), this short trip up the B1332 was still one I was very much looking forward to. Poringland have come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years; following years in the wilderness after Norwich United effectively left the village without a club back in the late 80's, taking over the Gothic club in Norwich where Poringland had relocated from their village playing field (where they are back at now), Wanderers have languished for much of that time in the lower divisions of the Anglian Combination. When they were promoted back into senior football last season, the club were merely looking to avoid dropping back down this season. Eight games in however and they sit at the top of the table and if today's performance is anything to go by, they'll be in the Premier next season. Big and talented and playing some football which belies their relatively lowly status in the Combination, Wanderers brushed Caister aside with ease on a rain-sodden afternoon at the Rec this afternoon. Speaking to chairman John Overton at half-time, the club are making strides to relocate to a ground of their own just behind the new community centre which John himself, after years of fundraising, helped build. Giant fetes, some top sponsorship arrangements and public fundraising are all being arranged by the club to help finance their plans which if they can pull of will give the club and village a springboard into realising their dream of Eastern League football. Poringland, a large and rapidly expanding village on the outskirts of Norwich, would certainly benefit from a higher level of football - a few weeks ago with Norwich away and on a sunny day, 200 turned up for a game. Good signs indeed - watch this space.
