Wizard Wanderers play in all blue and are currently sponsored by T Clarke.
They currently play their games at the Imperial Sports ground, Bristol.
HISTORY
Wizards were formed in 1993 and joined the Bristol Wessex league. The first season was enjoyable but a struggle, only winning three league games and conceding nearly a hundred goals! It could only get better.
The following seasons saw players coming and going and a gradual improvement in the teams results which resulted in two promotions up to division one.
In 1997, due to the lack of referees, Wizards decided to resign from the Wessex League and join the Bristol + District Sunday League.
Put straight into division 3, our warning to the league that we were not “that good” fell on deaf ears and subsequently we finished bottom and were relegated to division 4 with only two wins to our name.
Players were despondent and left so to survive we amalgamated with another team called Jellystone Park Rangers but kept the Wizard identity. Over the next few eventful years we have been promoted three times and relegated once and currently play in division 2.
Today and the Future
The current status is that Jeff is the only original member surviving (although he gave up playing 4 years ago after breaking his leg and ankle in three places (aka – David Boost, Alan Smith). He is currently Manager and Secretary, assisted by his other (good) half Helen who is treasurer, Chairman Rob Giles and Assistant manager Mike Pring. |
