@AvonmouthFC @ashleybennett83 @_WesternLeague_ @swsportsnews @BBCBristol @BristolSports 👏👏

WOW! What a record. We are both proud and pleased to have him on board. We hope this form and stewardship continues for a long time to come.

@wise1chris @swsportsnews @WincantontownFC You’ve done a cracking job mate 👏👏

All amazing things must come to an end..... After a great deal of thought and deliberation I've made the decision that this season will be my last as manager of @WincantontownFC I informed the club pre Christmas, but we decided to keep it to ourselves until the end of the season. Anybody who knows anything about this club will know that my role has far exceeded running a side on a Saturday. I've been heavily involved in the day to day operational running, organisation, and development of the club, largely at times doing this alone, but always to my absolute maximum for the benefit of Wincanton. I care deeply about Wincanton and what it represents, which is why this decision has been so unbelievably difficult. However, as the club has progressed and risen, the demands of sustaining that progress, particularly in an ever growing challenging financial environment, have grown significantly and have become unsustainable. The time now feels right to step aside at the end of the campaign and allow the club the opportunity to plan properly for the future, with an honest and realistic view of where it is, the challenges it faces, and what is required to build something sustainable going forward. For the club to continue to grow, it will need people around the manager who can share the load and help build the foundations for long term success. Wincanton town has been a huge part of my life for more than a decade. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built, both on and off the pitch, and of the journey the club has been on during that time. I'm grateful to everyone who has supported me throughout the years , my management team(s), committee members, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters. I want to make a special mention to my family. My dad stepped into the chairman's role when nobody else would, and my mum has done countless hours of work in the kitchen on matchdays, sorting the kit week in, week out as well as many other adhoc roles. Thank you both for the incredible support you've given me and the club. To my brother Dan, who has been club captain since 2015 , you and I both know the commitment and sacrifices you've made, always for the good of the club. You've been an incredible captain and I can't thank you enough. And finally, to my players, past and present, and far too many to name. Thank you for your effort, commitment, and loyalty over the years. We all know you were certainly never at Wincanton for the money. You are what made this club what it has been for me, and I cannot thank you enough. My memories from Wincanton will last a lifetime, and each of you played your part. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey. 🖤💛 Up the Wasps. 🐝

50 Club Goals ⚽️⚽️ Sonny Passco netted his 50th goal for the club last night with a wonderful curled shot from 20 yards out. A great achievement at only 20 years of age, many more to come! 😍 #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

The Prince of Longwell Green 😍 Ozzy brought up his 300th Western League appearance in last nights game. What a bloke, becoming a true legend at Longwell! #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

FT at Avonmouth 1-1 on the night. Well done both teams, entertaining game for the neutral! 😐 yellow card goal chances but lacked a cutting edge.

Best of luck to our U18s in their cup final on Thursday! Bring it home lads! #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

Today’s MOM Scott Saunders- 43/43 headers won today and back to back MOM for Sauce 🙌 Sonny Passco- lively from minute one today, opened the scoring and created multiple chances. #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

@wooder85 Great assist and goal 👏

Nice to see him playing with a smile.

FULLTIME Another big win! #UpTheGreen 🔵⚪️ | LWGvBIT @BittonAFC @_WesternLeague_ @swsportsnews

⏱️7’ | GOOAAALLLL First Chance from Brown, forces a good save. It recycles back to Alway who whips in a lovely cross and it’s converted by Passco. 🔵⚪️ 1-0 🟠⚫️ #UpTheGreen 🔵⚪️ | @AEKBocoFC @_WesternLeague_ @swsportsnews

Big shout out to our U10s girl and boys for being our mascots for today’s game! #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

@Odd_DownAFC @swsportsnews @_WesternLeague_ Top lad

You can't beat that winning feeling. Thanks to a 87th minute winner from James Book. @swsportsnews @_WesternLeague_

Today’s MOM Chris Alway - range of passing was immense today, battled hard in midfield getting us on the front foot. Sam Bainbridge - Mr Consistent at the moment, didn’t lose a header all game and lead the back line well. #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️

3 of our current @wcfyl u18’s team in the starting line up and 2 prev u18’s on the bench💪🏻 Go well lads. #nextgen #pathway @swsportsnews @AS_FootyReview @_WesternLeague_ @NonLeagueCrowd

Today’s MOM Sam Bainbridge - dominant display, keeping a clean sheet and taking control of the back line a real mature performance. Matt ‘CR7’ Brown - another 2 well taken goals to add to the tally for the season, like a fine wine. Clinical display. #UpTheGreen🔵⚪️
