Welton Rovers are currently playing their 103rd consecutive season in the @_WesternLeague_, a run dating back to 1924/25.
With Welton bottom of the Div 1 table and likely to be relegated to County Football for the first time, over a century of proud history is in jeopardy.
Very sad to see club captain Will Ford depart.
His breakthrough was a rare positive in a difficult 3 years. Other than being a top player, Will’s a MSN lad from a family of Welton supporters, and it’s a real shame (though understandable) that he’s moved on.
Good luck Fordy!

Good luck to Matt, and welcome back to West Clewes!
Matt played for Welton in the 2004/05 season, under both our managers during that campaign: Bob Williams and Stuart Minall. He scored twice, including a goal in a 3-2 away win at Melksham Town.
Welton Rovers is delighted to announce the appointment of Matt Williamson as First Team Manager.
Matt brings extensive knowledge and experience to the role, and would like to wish Matt the very best of luck in his new role and ask all supporters to join us in welcoming him:

In the 21 matches between Wayne Thorne becoming WRFC manager and the registration deadline, 19 of said matches featured debutant players for Rovers.
In total, 27 players made Welton debuts during the period.
Fair play to club secretary Lee Curtis for that admin!

Poor from the @western_league to ask club photographers to share their photos with them yet for the League Cup Final they will only allow their own photographer and not any from either club. @swsportsnews @Love_non_league @NonLeagueHQ1
Happy to take our cake and scoff the lot 📸
Great to see Sevs back scoring at West Clewes, his 42nd goal for the club across 4 spells.
One more would lift Aaron to 4th place in Rovers’ list of 21st century goalscorers 🙌

Today’s defeat confirms that the 24/25 season will be the worst in the club’s 128 year history.
In the 1989/90 season Rovers earned their previous lowest PPG of 0.35.
If Welton were to win their remaining 3 fixtures they would secure a PPG of only 0.32.

An official attendance of 30 spectators at West Clewes this afternoon.
That’s Welton’s lowest home attendance since 1 May 2007 (28 supporters v Willand Rovers on a Tuesday night).

Very sad to hear of the passing of Keith Simmons.
Welton’s 3rd Highest All-Time Goalscorer, and a member of our 1959/60 2nd Division winning side.
Keith (bottom right) netted 130 goals from 59-64 (including the club’s first under an official ‘team manager’!)
A club great! 🇳🇬

Confirmation that since the appointment of Total Pro Soccer as management of the club, Welton are sadly little more than Corsham Town Reserves.
No game for Corsham today so the team is flooded with 4+ of their players.
