GOING TO<br />
BE A BIG<br />
WEEK AND<br />
NOTHING<br />

4 | The Wanderer
The Wanderer | 5<br />
We didn’t get the result we wanted against<br />
Portsmouth on Saturday, but I honestly believe<br />
we couldn’t have given any more.<br />
Their manager, John Mousinho, was honest<br />
enough to admits afterwards that he thought we<br />
deserved to win the game.<br />
That comes from the side that is set to win the<br />
league and has been consistently the best in the<br />
division, so it shows the levels we reached.<br />
We didn’t manage to get the second goal and get<br />
the win the performance merited but we have to<br />
keep believing that playing at that standard for the<br />
remainder of the season – however long that is –<br />
will deliver us the prize we all want.<br />
And we also have to believe – and firmly do –<br />
that nothing is decided in terms of the automatic<br />
promotion places.<br />
Football constantly shows – at every level – that<br />
unexpected results occur and when any team<br />
needs to win a game, it’s never guaranteed. All we<br />
can do is try to take a maximum points from our<br />
remaining three games and hope Derby have one<br />
more slip-up.<br />
If not, then we have to back ourselves to win<br />
however many games are needed to go up via<br />
another route.<br />
That’s for another day, though, with our total focus<br />
on tonight and making sure we beat <strong>Shrewsbury</strong><br />
<strong>Town</strong>. They need points for themselves, of course,<br />
and I welcome manager Paul Hurst, his staff,<br />
players and all the travelling fans tonight for what<br />
we know will be a competitive game.<br />
But we know what we have to do and if we can<br />
win tonight to get back to within a point of Derby,<br />
anything can happen over the final two fixtures.<br />
We were, naturally, a bit flat after the game on<br />
Saturday, having given so much to win a game that<br />
would have kept our fate in our own hands.<br />
But my job is to lift everyone and get us going<br />
again and, rest assured, we will be ready tonight.<br />
My faith in these players has never wavered and I<br />
back them once more to get the result which will<br />
keep us very much in the hunt.<br />
It’s taken a huge collective effort to get us to this<br />
stage – baring in mind all the injury problems and<br />
other set-backs that we have had to deal with this<br />
season – but on an individual note, I would just<br />
like to add my congratulations to Josh Sheehan<br />
and Josh Dacres-Cogley for being named in the<br />
EFL League One Team of the Year.<br />
Both have been incredibly consistent and key<br />
players for us this season and thoroughly deserve<br />
their place in that line-up.<br />
Last, but certainly not least, I would like to<br />
thank you for your magnificent support against<br />
Portsmouth. To see the biggest crowd ever for this<br />
level at this stadium was an incredible sight and<br />
one not lost on any of us.<br />
Your backing was outstanding and certainly played<br />
a huge part in allowing us to recover from an early<br />
goal, take the fight to Pompey and at least get a<br />
point that could yet be important.<br />
We need you again tonight, to continue to lift,<br />
inspire and encourage us all. We’re still in this and<br />
still in it together.<br />
Thanks again.<br />

Currently on loan at <strong>Wanderers</strong> from Swansea<br />
City with a spell at Peterborough United inbetween,<br />
the flying wing-back is impressing<br />
down <strong>Wanderers</strong>’ left after arriving at the club<br />
in January.<br />
But it was in Shropshire where Nat had his first<br />
taste of professional football when signing for the<br />
Shrews in January 2021 from Manchester City.<br />
Making 58 appearances for Salop, and scooping<br />
the Young Player of the Year award in his first<br />
season with the club, it’s fair to say that Nat made a<br />
big impact at the Croud Meadow Stadium.<br />
Looking back on his spell at tonight’s opponents,<br />
Ogbeta makes it clear of the impact that his time at<br />
<strong>Shrewsbury</strong> had on his career.<br />
“It was really key for me as it was my first<br />
experience in professional football,” he said.<br />
“It was during lockdown, so it was slightly strange<br />
in empty stadiums, but it allowed me to become<br />
comfortable as to what League One was like.<br />
“Playing in front of no fans, weirdly, was a good<br />
way for me to start my career, as I knew I could<br />
play at that level. Then, when the fans did return, I<br />
had a lot of confidence.<br />
“<strong>Shrewsbury</strong> was really good for me and gave<br />
me the opportunity to show what I could do. I<br />
was playing academy football at Manchester<br />
City before that loan and it was more about the<br />
process, but <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> was all about results,<br />
results, results.<br />
“I really enjoyed it there, and the coaching team<br />
in Steve Cotterill and Aaron Wilbraham were<br />
good with me. The way Aaron believed in me was<br />
12 | The Wanderer
The Wanderer | 13<br />
special. It’s helped me to feel a lot more confident<br />
now as I continue my journey in professional<br />
football.”<br />
It didn’t take long for Ogbeta to endear himself to<br />
the <strong>Wanderers</strong>’ support when making an instant<br />
impact with a goal just minutes into his debut away<br />
at Carlisle.<br />
Now with a run of games under his belt in the last<br />
few weeks with six consecutive starts in Ian Evatt’s<br />
side, Nat spoke of the need to wait for his chance<br />
as he settled into life at the club.<br />
THE BELIEF IN THE BOYS<br />
IS REALLY STRONG AT<br />
THE MOMENT, AND I<br />
FEEL LIKE THAT IS KEY<br />
FOR US<br />
“When I arrived, the Gaffer told me to be patient as<br />
he had a plan for me because I had arrived here on<br />
the back of a long injury,” he said.<br />
“He wanted to make sure that when I played, I<br />
didn’t break down instantly. On the back of that, I<br />
now feel fit, I feel strong and I feel like I’m getting<br />
into the rhythm of it.<br />
“I’m used to the team now and the way we want to<br />
play, I’m comfortable in our system and I’m really<br />
enjoying my football right now.
The Wanderer | 15<br />
“I’ve played in teams under people such as Russell<br />
Martin, Luke Williams and Darren Ferguson as well<br />
as coming through at Manchester City, who all like<br />
to play football, so our style suits me.<br />
“The way wing-backs are in our system, and the<br />
way the Gaffer wants us to play, is a big ask. It is a<br />
difficult role but it really has an effect on our games<br />
when you do it right and do it as the Gaffer wants<br />
us to do.<br />
“If you get into the right positions and do the work,<br />
you see the rewards in terms of goals and assists,<br />
and hopefully I can keep adding to that.”<br />
With the end of the season edging closer,<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> are starting to find form just at the right<br />
stage of the season. With wins over Reading and<br />
Bristol Rovers, as well as a draw with Portsmouth<br />
in a superb performance at the weekend, the<br />
wing-back believes the recent run of form can only<br />
benefit the squad as the season comes to a climax.<br />
“The belief in the boys is really strong at the<br />
moment, and I feel like that is key for us,” he said.<br />
“We have a great opportunity ahead of us.<br />
We’ve worked so hard throughout the<br />
season to get to this point and everyone is<br />
motivated to finish strong.<br />
“We know we’ve had a couple of moments<br />
where we haven’t taken potential opportunities,<br />
but now it’s all about seizing every moment.<br />
“We are motivated and in a good place. We have<br />
people coming back from injuries and competition<br />
for places is high, and you can see the desire and<br />
determination in training. We just have to focus on<br />
ourselves and keep believing.”<br />

5<br />
WAYS TO REDUCE<br />
YOUR ENERGY BILLS<br />
1. Seal drafts and insulate your home<br />
Seal gaps and cracks around doors, windows, and other openings will prevent heat loss during the<br />
winter and keep cool air inside during the summer and insulating your property will improve efficiency.<br />
2. Adjust your thermostat settings<br />
The University of Central London, for example, estimates that every degree you lower your<br />
thermostat between 22°C and 18°C can save you £130 per year.<br />
3. Upgrade your appliances<br />
Consider upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, which are designed to use less<br />
energy while performing the same tasks.<br />
4. Unplug dormant electronics<br />
Many electronics and appliances consume energy even<br />
when they’re turned off but still plugged in<br />
5. Switch your lighting<br />
Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with<br />
energy-efficient LED or CFL bulbs.<br />

FROM THE ARCHIVES<br />
SEASON 2020/21<br />
Lying 19th in League Two at the end of<br />
January, <strong>Wanderers</strong> went on a run of<br />
just three defeats in 22 games to secure<br />
promotion back to League One after just<br />
one season in the basement division, in<br />
which all but two games were played in<br />
front of empty stadiums.<br />
One of those defeats came in the final<br />
home game against Exeter which left<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> needing to win on the final<br />
day of the season at Crawley to secure a<br />
promotion place.<br />
The result was never in doubt when first<br />
half goals from Antoni Sarcevic and Dapo<br />
Afolayan gave <strong>Bolton</strong> an early boost.<br />
Further goals from Eoin Doyle and Lloyd<br />
Isgrove confirmed victory, with Crawley<br />
getting a late consolation from Davide<br />
Rodari.<br />

OPPOSITION<br />
SHREWSBURY<br />
TOWN<br />
RETURNING FAN-FAVOURITE PAUL<br />
HURST WILL BE HOPING TO AVOID ANY<br />
UNNECESSARY END OF SEASON DRAMA<br />
AS SALOP LOOK TO SECURE THEIR SKY BET<br />
LEAGUE ONE STATUS FOR ANOTHER SEASON.<br />
At the time of writing, <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> realistically<br />
just need to register one more win to ensure<br />
a ninth consecutive campaign in the third<br />
tier, which they could achieve before visiting<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> with a home game against<br />
Wycombe prior to their visit to the Toughsheet<br />
Community Stadium.<br />
Salop had originally appointed former <strong>Wanderers</strong><br />
midfielder Matt Taylor as their Head Coach in<br />
the summer. <strong>Town</strong>’s start to the season could be<br />
described as hit-and-miss with three wins and<br />
three defeats in their opening six league games.<br />
That trend continued throughout Taylor’s time<br />
at the Croud Meadow Stadium with his team<br />
performing in erratic peaks and troughs, going<br />
on both winning and losing runs during his<br />
tenure without manging to find any real<br />
consistency or middle ground.<br />
<strong>Town</strong> were winless in seven throughout September<br />
and into the start of October before winning six<br />
out of nine in November and pushing Salop<br />
further up the table, which, in the bigger picture<br />
and with the use of hindsight, has made the<br />
difference of not finishing in or closer to the drop<br />
zone.<br />
Unfortunately for Taylor, that form wasn’t sustained<br />
as <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> recorded seven defeats in eight<br />
heading into the New Year and he was relieved of<br />
his duties with <strong>Town</strong> hovering above the relegation<br />
zone in 19th place.<br />
Just three days later, much to the delight of the<br />
Salop faithful, Paul Hurst returned to the club with<br />
the job of easing any relegation fears and driving<br />
<strong>Town</strong> up the table.<br />
20 | The Wanderer
The Wanderer | 21<br />
Hurst initially got the reaction he wanted<br />
from his group of players with an<br />
impressive 2-0 win away at Northampton<br />
<strong>Town</strong> and regaining that feel-good factor<br />
around Shropshire.<br />
At first glance, <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> haven’t hit the heights<br />
of what they had produced previously in the<br />
season in terms of a winning run of form but<br />
on the other hand, they haven’t suffered any<br />
damaging losing streaks either since Hurst’s<br />
appointment.<br />
Wins against Reading, Port Vale and Carlisle<br />
look to have been enough to keep them<br />
clear of danger but just as importantly,<br />
draws against the likes of promotion<br />
contenders Derby, Barnsley and Oxford<br />
will have no doubt been as vital and a<br />
sign that they will be no pushovers as<br />
visitors tonight.
THE BOSS<br />
PAUL HURST IS THE<br />
MAN AT THE HELM IN<br />
SHROPSHIRE AND IS<br />
NOW IN HIS SECOND<br />
SPELL AT SALOP AFTER<br />
FIRST MANAGING<br />
THEM FROM 2016-<br />
18 IN A CASE OF ‘SO<br />
NEAR YET SO FAR’ IN A<br />
REMARKABLE COUPLE<br />
OF SEASONS FOR<br />
TOWN.<br />
As a player, Hurst was very much a one club<br />
man having played well over 400 times for<br />
Rotherham, with the only spell away being a<br />
short loan at Burton Albion.<br />
The earlier parts of his managerial career were<br />
spent as joint-manager with former teammate Rob<br />
Scott, firstly at Ilkeston <strong>Town</strong> where the pair guided<br />
them to a play-off winning season before making<br />
the move to Boston United where they repeated<br />
that feat with another promotion to the National<br />
League North.<br />
Grimsby <strong>Town</strong> came calling as they eyed up<br />
a return to the EFL and chose Hurst as their<br />
man. After four seasons and plenty of play-off<br />
heartbreak, the Mariners had their day in the sun at<br />
Wembley and Hurst was an EFL manager.<br />
In 2016, Hurst made the move to <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> in<br />
League One and it was in his second season in<br />
charge saw a campaign that nobody saw coming,<br />
despite the cruel ending.<br />
Salop’s season finished with two finals at Wembley<br />
in quick succession. Firstly, an EFL Cup final defeat<br />
against Lincoln City, before reaching the Play-Off<br />
final and suffering extra-time heartbreak against<br />
Rotherham United.<br />
Hurst’s biggest move of his career came on the<br />
back of that season with Ipswich <strong>Town</strong> in the<br />
Championship. After just five months, he was<br />
dismissed following an unsatisfactory start to the<br />
season.<br />
A return to Grimsby materialised after a brief stint<br />
at a Scunthorpe United in turmoil and although<br />
Hurst couldn’t prevent Grimsby dropping to the<br />
National League, he rallied the Mariners to go<br />
again and get back into the EFL at the first attempt.<br />
In January of 2024, Hurst received a hero’s<br />
welcome back to <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> <strong>Town</strong> with the<br />
memories of 2017-18 fuelling the hope that<br />
<strong>Shrewsbury</strong> can be fighting further up the table<br />
this time next season.<br />

FORGOTTEN<br />
CLUB HISTORIAN SIMON MARLAND<br />
LOOKS BACK AT GROUNDS NO LONGER<br />
IN EXISTENCE WHERE THE WANDERERS<br />
HAVE PLAYED IN THE PAST.<br />
GAY MEADOW<br />
(SHREWSBURY TOWN)<br />
Gay Meadow was known locally to host fairs,<br />
carnivals and circuses for hundreds of years<br />
before becoming home to <strong>Shrewsbury</strong> <strong>Town</strong><br />
in 1910. On the banks of the River Severn,<br />
<strong>Shrewsbury</strong> coracle maker Fred Davies, or a<br />
member of his family, would sit in a coracle<br />
during <strong>Town</strong>’s home matches to retrieve<br />
footballs kicked into the river until the ground<br />
closed in 2007.<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> made eight league visits to Gay<br />
Meadow, the first of which came in November 1971<br />
when <strong>Town</strong> won a Third Division fixture 1-0 thanks<br />
to an Alf Wood goal, with the striker netting 35<br />
league goals that season.<br />
April 1973 saw <strong>Wanderers</strong> register the first of four<br />
league wins at the ground. A Friday night fixture<br />
saw goals from John Byrom and Garry Jones<br />
(pictured) claim two vital points on the club’s<br />
march towards the championship.<br />
It wasn’t until October 1980 that <strong>Bolton</strong> again<br />
visited, this time at Second Division level, with a<br />
2-1 victory registering the first away victory since a<br />
trip to Manchester United in April 1979 and ending<br />
a 28-away game run without success. Mike Carter<br />
and Brian Kidd (pictured) netted for <strong>Bolton</strong> with<br />
player/manager Graham Turner scoring for <strong>Town</strong>.<br />
24 | The Wanderer
The Wanderer | 25<br />
Brian Kidd appeared for the last time for <strong>Bolton</strong><br />
on the visit to Gay Meadow in November 1981, the<br />
former European Cup winner missing a penalty<br />
as the home side won 2-0. The highest scoring<br />
game between the sides was in December 1989<br />
when a 3-3 draw resulted with both sides back<br />
in the third tier, <strong>Bolton</strong> having to settle for a point<br />
after leading 2-0 at the interval. Steve Thompson<br />
grabbed a couple of goals with Tony Philliskirk<br />
scoring the other. Paul Gorman, David Moyes and<br />
future Wanderer John McGinlay scoring for the<br />
Shrews.<br />
The last two league visits to Gay Meadow by<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> ended in success. Stuart Storer<br />
scoring the only goal (pictured netting the winner)<br />
on the opening day of the 1990/91 season whilst<br />
in November 1991 a 3-1 win came courtesy of<br />
a Tony Philliskirk penalty along with goals from<br />
David Reeves and Tony Kelly, who was returning<br />
to his old stamping ground.<br />
In cup football <strong>Bolton</strong> made just one visit in<br />
a Second Round, first leg League Cup tie in<br />
September 1984. Goals from Jeff Chandler and<br />
George Oghani earning a 2-2 draw, with <strong>Bolton</strong><br />
going through by winning the second leg 2-1 at<br />
Burnden.<br />
Since moving to the New Meadow, <strong>Wanderers</strong><br />
have made four League visits, all at League One<br />
level, winning on three occasions - the first being<br />
in March 2017 when second half goals from<br />
Mark Beevers and Adam Le Fondre (pictured<br />
celebrating his goal) earned a 2-0 win.<br />
A last minute Dion Charles goal gave <strong>Bolton</strong> the<br />
points in January 2022 and earlier this season<br />
goals from Paris Maghoma (pictured scoring)<br />
and Aaron Morley secured the points. <strong>Bolton</strong>’s<br />
only league defeat at the New Meadow was in<br />
December 2022 when an injury time goal from<br />
Chey Dunkley gave the home side a 3-2 win.<br />
In cup football, <strong>Wanderers</strong> won a first round<br />
League Cup tie 3-1 in August 2013, Sanmi Odelusi<br />
scoring twice with his only goals for the club, the<br />
other coming from Rob Hall. In October 2020,<br />
Adam Senior scored his only goal for the club in a<br />
2-1 reverse in a Football League Trophy tie.

REFEREE: CARL BROOK | ATTENDANCE: 8,814 (1,342 AWAY)<br />
WANDERERS PRODUCED A PROFESSIONAL AND<br />
WORKMAN-LIKE PERFORMANCE, WITH GOALS FROM<br />
AARON COLLINS AND AARON MORLEY, TO SECURE A<br />
VITAL 2-0 VICTORY AT BRISTOL ROVERS.<br />
Ian Evatt made just one change to the starting side<br />
that took to the field at the Toughsheet against<br />
Reading, with Nathan Baxter returning to the team<br />
for the first time since the Barnsley home fixture in<br />
February.<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> took control of the game in the<br />
early moments and came close on a number of<br />
occasions to scoring the opening goal.<br />
Aaron Collins, returning to his former side after<br />
signing for <strong>Wanderers</strong> in January, was at the heart<br />
of the action in the opening half.<br />
The Welsh striker broke into space and it looked<br />
to be opening up for Aaron with Paris Maghoma<br />
looking for a pull back to apply the finish, but a<br />
vital block turned it behind for a corner.<br />
Despite being the dominant side in the first half,<br />
Matt Taylor’s men forced decent saves out of the<br />
returning Baxter either side of half-time.<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong>: Baxter (GK), Dacres-Cogley, Toal,<br />
Almeida Santos (Capt), Iredale, Ogbeta, Sheehan,<br />
Thomason, Maghoma, Collins, Böðvarsson<br />
Subs: Coleman (GK), Forrester, Taylor, Williams,<br />
Morley, Dempsey, Jerome<br />
First, Connor Taylor tried to beat the ‘keeper at<br />
his near post with a low effort before Baxter was<br />
forced into a wonderful save as Chris Martin’s<br />
effort looked to be finding the bottom corner, but<br />
he somehow got his hand to it at full stretch to<br />
claw the effort away.<br />
<strong>Wanderers</strong> had survived the early storm - and<br />
made it count through the returning man, Collins.<br />
George Thomason did brilliantly to thread a pass<br />
through to find Aaron, and the frontman produced<br />
a chipped finish over the keeper to send the<br />
travelling support wild.<br />
Matt Taylor’s men threw on substitutions as the<br />
game was drawing to a close, but it was <strong>Wanderers</strong><br />
who found a way to seal victory from the penalty<br />
spot.<br />
Cameron Jerome did brilliantly to win the spotkick,<br />
and Morley picked up the ball and cooly sent<br />
Ward the wrong way to secure the points.<br />

ONE FAMILY - REMEMBERING<br />
THOSE WE LOVE AND HAVE LOST.<br />
ANNUAL SERVICE OF REMEMBRANCE AND THANKSGIVING<br />
THURSDAY 23RD MAY 6.30PM<br />
As we approach the end of the season, we are<br />
once again preparing for the Annual Service<br />
of Remembrance which will take place at the<br />
Toughsheet Community Stadium on Thursday<br />
23rd May starting pitchside at 6.30pm.<br />
This year feels particularly poignant as one of<br />
those who we shall remember is Iain Purslow, who<br />
sadly collapsed and subsequently died the day<br />
we played Cheltenham at home on Saturday 13th<br />
January.<br />
It is here we shall pause for a few moments as we<br />
remember our loved ones and lay a wreath on the<br />
pitch, thinking of all those whose ashes have been<br />
scattered here over this season.<br />
The service will then continue in the 1877 Suite<br />
with reflective music and during the evening,<br />
names of loved ones that have been inscribed in<br />
the Memorial Book or engraved on a Memorial<br />
brick during the past twelve months will be read<br />
out.<br />
All the names of loved ones will also be<br />
remembered from previous years as they will be<br />
displayed on a big screen in the room.<br />
Within the service, people will be invited to come<br />
forward and light candles in memory of their loved<br />
ones.<br />
The game was rightly stopped and abandoned<br />
that day under such tragic circumstances. What<br />
followed was an incredible out-pouring of love and<br />
support for all the family from fans not only here at<br />
<strong>Bolton</strong>, but across the whole nation. Tributes were<br />
paid by the Cheltenham fans as the match was<br />
re-scheduled and wreaths laid at different grounds<br />
to remember him.<br />
We were all reminded that day of the important<br />
things in life and stood together as one family. With<br />
that in mind the theme of our service this year will<br />
be One Family.<br />
You are very welcome to join us for this special<br />
service as we stand together as the BWFC family.<br />
In the meantime, enjoy the game tonight.<br />
Light refreshments will be served following<br />
the service.<br />

GOLDEN GOAL WINNERS<br />
Golden Goal has again proved popular this<br />
season with us selling out almost every game,<br />
so we would like to thank you for your support -<br />
it really is appreciated by the <strong>Bolton</strong> <strong>Wanderers</strong><br />
Development Association.<br />
What makes our day though is when our Golden<br />
Goal winners agree to having their photo taken<br />
and we hear a bit about them.<br />
The winner for the game versus Reading FC for<br />
our Easter Monday game was Steven Murphy of<br />
Breightmet, <strong>Bolton</strong>.<br />
Steven bought his lucky ticket, showing 10 minutes<br />
and 38 seconds, from Jacky in <strong>Bolton</strong> Stadium<br />
Hotel pre-match - as he always does. He called in<br />
to receive his £500 prize with his brother Thomas<br />
and was delighted to receive them from Jacky.<br />
Steven said he will treat Thomas first with his<br />
winnings and then spend some in the Club Shop.<br />
Here they are!<br />
Our Oxford United winner was Tommy Gordon<br />
of Hindley. He was just 10 seconds away at<br />
the previous game against Barnsley and was<br />
gutted, but he bought his ticket again the<br />
following match from our seller Jason outside<br />
the Club Shop, and was astounded when he<br />
opened it and found out he had the winning<br />
ticket with 18 minutes and 02 secs.<br />
Tommy, who was at the game with his son Richard,<br />
told him the good news and didn’t believe him at<br />
first but took this photo in the stands!<br />
Tommy has been a keen<br />
supporter of the Lotteries<br />
for many years, he is in the<br />
Lifeline and remembers<br />
buying these Golden Goal<br />
tickets at Burnden Park - he<br />
loves the nostalgia of them.<br />
Tommy had his photo taken<br />
next to the first BWFC Shirt<br />
he wore. Congratulations<br />
Tommy!<br />
Don’t forget to bring your £1 coins with you to<br />
participate in our matchday fundraiser. £1 is all<br />
it takes to be a winner with us!<br />
Tickets are on sale throughout the concourse,<br />
hotel, outside the Club Shop, the Fanzone and<br />
throughout the corporate areas. Who knows, it<br />
could be you next!<br />
All monies raised after the prizes and expenses are<br />
paid are held by the BWDA for future projects at<br />
the Club. You must be over 18 to play the Golden<br />
Goal.<br />
