WIMBORNE AND BRISTOL-2 MILLION VIEWERS! GOING GREEN?



The Southern League club, Wimborne Town, The Magpies, reckon their league game played on November 26th, was eventually watched by TWO MILLION viewers, who were entertained by a live film of this thrilling league game played at the New Cuthbury Ground.  
You can enjoy last month's highlights of Wimborne Town FC (Dorset) v Bristol Manor Farm in the Southern League Division One South. OR buy The latest edition of The Non-League Paper.
Portus Abonae was a Roman "subscribed"  port at the mouth of the River Trym, which provided an embarkation point. In the 18th century there were short lived attempts at creating a permanent port and a whale fishery there. The name Trym appears to have Anglo-Saxon roots. Some Latin for you:The River Trym is a short river, some 4.5 miles (7.2 km) in length, which rises in Filton, South Gloucestershire. It flows through a nature reserve and city parks before joining the tidal River Avon at Sea Mills. 18th-century water mills near the mouth gave the area its name.

 Plenty of fun here.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uxtuei-r1cE   The commentary is a bit special!! Attendance 475....stick with it to 92 mins at least (or scroll through).
OR If all else fails look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFZcbDhnv_U with a local lad's 14 minute film. Stick with it! Look out for the dodgey corner and some cracking goals and errors! 

The Magpies were established in 1878 and originally catered for football and rugby. In 1884, Wimborne Town were one of the founder members of the South Hampshire and Dorset Football Association. In 1887 the club became a founder member of the Dorset County FA. They reached the First Round Proper of the FA Cup in the 1982–83 season for the first time.
Wimborne Town won the FA Vase 1992. 
Going Green? 
The clubhouse is pleased to announce that on Matchday’s they are introducing re-usable glasses to minimise our consumption of single-use plastics across the club.
