Disappointing defeat for Woodmen as Highgate triumph
Tuesday evening (11th August 2015) saw Walsall Wood travel to Solihull’s Highgate United at their The Barn Lane ground, where sadly, the Woodmen lost. It’s fair to say Bill Shaw was not amused.

Bill Shaw’s 2015 Walsall Wood FC presentation dinner report
Crossed wires last weekend when a collection of photos from Walsall Wood Football Club’s Presentation Dinner arrived from David Evans and I published them, not realising a writeup was due from Bill Shaw, which arrived later in the week – sorry chaps, hopefully this should rectify things.

Pride of the Wood – good luck, lads!
Walsall Wood Football Club today play Guernsey FC away, in a re-run of the match last week at Oak Park that ended in a gripping stalemate 0-0 draw. Walsall Wood have generally been on a bit of a winning streak lately, and beating the boys in green is not an impossibility.

Good luck to Walsall Wood FC
Andy Roper from Walsall Wood Football Club has been online drumming up support for the club’s upcoming match against Guernsey FC.
