Bearwood Wanderers has made a positive start to the new
campaign and are looking forward to the rest of the campaign.
Football Focus Magazine recently caught up with their Manager
Andy White to find out more about the club.
The Beginning
He told us, “Bearwood Wanderers
was formed in 2015 by Andy White,
Chris Marriott and Nick Brown; they
set out their vision of establishing a side
capable of challenging for league titles
and cups. The three founders brought
with them valuable experience having
played and managed a number of
clubs prior to the creation of Bearwood
Wanderers aka Wanderers.
The club were accepted into the BT &
DSL for the 2015/16 season and started
off in the old Division 3. Wanderers
found it difficult with an inexperienced

team with many of the side coming
from a 5 aside background, that said,
Wanderers managed to adapt and
produced some fine performances to
steady a tough first season.”

the role has to be organisation! As any
Sunday League manager will know, no
matter how many texts you send during
the week there’s always the fear come

dreaded “I can’t make it gaffer” text!
Nick Brown, Club Treasurer, is
provided the constant headache of
chasing the subs money with “it’s in the
car” or “I’ll pay down the pub”. On the
most part the introduction of fines this
season for late payments has helped buck
these habits! The team all contribute and
it promotes a rewarding atmosphere off
the pitch with social events and an end
of season BBQ with awards.”
Present
“This season has started superbly,
some new additions to the side coupled
with three wins from three have created
