Wake Green Juniors AFC

Today is a sad day for Wake Green as we say goodbye to one of our own, moving on to new pastures.

Sam joined us three years ago and hit the ground running from day one. In his first season, he helped the team win the league title. In his second season, he played a big part in helping us consolidate in the division above, and in his third season, he helped the side gain yet another promotion.

Sam has always played a year up against bigger, stronger boys, but has consistently shown his quality, determination, and ability.

We want to thank Sam for everything he has given to the team over the last three years. We wish him all the very best for the future and hope he continues to develop into the player we all know he can become.

Good luck, Sam — you’ll always be welcome back at Wake Green.

Today is a sad day for all of us at Wake Green as one of the original members of our team moves on to a new chapter.

We want to wish Eli all the very best for the future and thank him for everything he has contributed to the team throughout his time with us. You’ve been a big part of our journey from the very beginning, and that will always be appreciated.

Good luck with whatever comes next, Eli. You’ll always be welcome back to visit and see how the team is getting on. Once Wake Green, always Wake Green 💙⚽

All the highlight from last night 3 all draw against Redditch Borough

Redditch Borough 3-3 Wake Green

Tonight’s fixture had it all — the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Wake Green travelled to Redditch for the final game of the season and got off to the worst possible start, finding themselves 3-0 down inside the opening 12 minutes after a lightning-fast start from the hosts.

Wakes gradually settled into the game and began to find their rhythm. The momentum could have shifted even sooner after a Redditch player was fortunate to remain on the pitch despite two separate incidents of serious foul play, with the referee deciding no further action was needed. Emotions were running high all over the pitch — exactly as said, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

At half-time, Wakes suffered a major blow as Riley was forced to leave and be taken to hospital due to injury. The lads rallied around him and came out for the second half determined not to let his efforts go to waste.

Wake Green came out firing with real grit and determination. The comeback started with Jess finishing from a Leighton cross. Soon after, Jess turned provider with a dangerous delivery that was met by a header from Will to make it 3-2. With 10 minutes remaining, Jack reacted quickest after a pinball moment in the box to poke home the equaliser and complete an incredible comeback.

Unfortunately, Wakes were dealt another cruel blow late on when the same player who was fortunate to still be on the pitch caught Will, leaving him with a severe concussion.

There was almost a dramatic winner at the death as Jess delivered another dangerous cross, Archie controlled well but saw his effort drift just wide.

A point earned the hard way after showing huge character to fight back from 3-0 down.

Now we look ahead to next season. 💙⚽️

Tomorrow, Wake Green take on Redditch Borough in the final game of the season. Both sides have already secured promotion alongside Hillfield, but this one is all about the title. Winner takes all in a huge showdown to decide who finishes top.

One final push. One big performance needed. Let’s go Wakes 💙⚽️
