Wimborne Town Football Club

"The Magpies"

Wimborne Town Football Club was formed in 1878 and originally catered for both football and rugby. In 1884 the South Hampshire and Dorset Football Association was formed with Wimborne as one of the founder members. Three years later the Club became a founder member of the Dorset County Football Association.

The Club’s first success came in 1913 when they won the Dorset Minor Cup for the only time. A year later they were runners-up in the Dorset Junior Challenge Cup.

The Thirties were a triumphant period in Wimborne Town’s history as they carried off the Dorset League Division Two title three times and finished runners-up on a further occasion. The Magpies were also runners-up in Dorset League Division One in 1939. This period also proved successful for Wimborne in cup competitions. The Dorset Junior Challenge Cup was won twice in three final appearances and the Magpies also enjoyed four Dorset Junior Amateur Cup victories in five seasons between 1935 and 1939.

WTFC Youth's

Philosophy

Inclusivity. Respect. Enjoyment. Development.

Grassroots football always encourages new players to improve their football skills whilst having fun. It helps to develop the local talent and confidence of players, regardless of where each player is from. It also helps to promote diversity and reduces the likelihood of discrimination, sexism, and racism. Along with technical skills, grassroots football can teach players - young and old - about the importance of friendship, camaraderie, and teamwork. Even adults leading the grassroots football program get a chance to develop their coaching, fundraising, and researching skills.
