Wickwar Wanderers Firsts Team play in Stroud + District League Division Four on Saturdays.
First references to organised Association Football in Wickwar (Gloucestershire) are in the early 1890s. There have been teams in this small "town" ever since with some decades bringing more honors than others. Early on in the 1900s, the team was called Wickwar Athletic. But fashions change and so did the name, Wickwar Athletic became Wickwar Rovers then Wickwar United until 1990 when it became Wickwar Wanderers.With a number of breweries in Wickwar, it is not surprising that Wickwar teams were locally referred to as "The Brewers" in the first decades of the century. |
