A message from Club Captain Oli Goddard and Club Chair James Bray.

It takes a lot of teamwork to make the club run and we would like thank everyone that helps out. Whether it be a little or a lot. Whether in the kitchen, behind the bar, sponsors, committee members, officials, etc. Too many to list. Thank you. But two colleagues deserve a special mention. Club Secretary James Whitmarsh and Youth Secretary Vince Baldwin. Without these two gentlemen's sustained efforts the club would almost come to a stand still. A Massive Thank you to both.

Oli Goddard continued,
Big thanks to all the captains for their tireless work and well done to all award winners - thoroughly deserved all round. It’s primarily been a season of near misses for Dorkinian this year, but the club spirit remains as strong as it’s ever been. We’re all supporting the 6s to get the point they need to win the title! With an influx of talented young players this season, the future is bright and trophies will follow!

James Bray added,
Another successful season draws to a close for Dorkinian FC. Success isn’t solely defined by winning league titles and, whilst a number of teams across the club have achieved this (and others have come close), it’s important to remember the wider benefits of being part of a club like Dorkinian FC. With an expanding youth section and thriving numbers at senior level the future looks bright for the ‘OD’s’ as we enter their 95th year. It really is an exciting time to be a part of this fantastic club.

Enjoy the rest of the season.

It's the name on the badge. DORKINIAN, One Club.
