Perhaps you're right, but I was never convinced they fully embraced the Diamonds presence in Wellingborough, despite the various upgrades that helped them meet Ground Grading. Quite what part they played in the Diamonds having to leave the Dog and Duck wasn't too clear either - but they still seem to be there!Adrian wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 3:39 pmThey deserve some good fortune, I think it was about 20 years ago when the Snooker player invested in them and there was big talk about the future but for whatever reason that didn't happen, I will always be grateful to them for playing a part in getting this club established.

Re: Former Players
More on Welly as Jack Bowen has left Daventry and joined them. That was someone we only saw the best from in those few games at the end of the St Ives playoff season, not sure what went wrong after that but unfortunately he never turned into the player that was threatened during those couple of months.

Re: Former Players
The following season sat almost exclusively on the bench at Brackley didn't do him any favours. By the time he reappeared with us I thought he'd lost his hunger for it. Considering Daventry's position this season he's done well to score as many goals as he has. I imagine he'll score a shedload for Wellingborough.Brownie wrote: ↑Fri Feb 24, 2023 11:31 am More on Welly as Jack Bowen has left Daventry and joined them.

Re: Former Players
The usual post-Christmas budget cut at Welly seems to have been delayed this season

Re: Former Players
Close to his home, whilst he revises and prepares for exams? If he were to return to Uni of Northampton I would be happy to see him back with us, probably Burgess's best signing.

Re: Former Players
Looks like he was involved in a cracking debut on Saturday as well, 4-3 down in the 90th minute and went onto win 6-4!

Must have felt he was still in a diamonds shirt letting so many goals in
