Heacham Village Monthly News Letter 29 of 36

29. April's Edition 2022


Hello, we hope you enjoy the latest update from The Magpies

First Team Feedback

The Magpies bowed out of the Senior Cup, giving a great account of themselves and pushed Thurlow Nunn Premier Big Boys Mulbarton all the way on their own turf, Fletcher Toll put the Magpies in front, it was a close game and the Magies eventually bowed out 3-1.

Mulbarton seemed impressed by the large travelling contingent, our support home & away continues to be our "12th player" Your support is greatly appreciated and acknowledged by the team and management.

The Final Countdown - League Focus

At the point of composing this update (14.03.22) The Magpies still occupy top spot, and 4 more wins will secure the Anglian Combination Premier title and promotion to the Thurlow Nunn Div 1 North Division, another piece of history in the making, as no team from West Norfolk have ever won this league.

Card Payments

We have listened to your valued feedback regarding no card payments at the canteen , or club shop on match days, we launched card payment (credit, debit, google and apple pay) on Saturday, and seemed to go hitch free, please note admission and matchday programme remain cash only.

Volunteers

With attendances constantly hitting treble figures, we are looking for matchday volunteers to help out at Magpies home games, if you have a couple of hours to spare on a matchday please get in touch.

Thank You - Ukraine Collection

On behalf of both Heacham Minors & Heacham FC, we were truly overwhelmed with the level of local support.
