THE BEECHES FOOTBALL CLUB HAS NEW FAN 

Picture: Champion flat jockey Paul Hanagan is seen on board Wootton Bassett:

Wootton Bassett has recently been retired to stud in France while Paul is again leading the jockey title challenge, with only days to go.  

Club Secretary Mick Ricketts who has been a horse racing fan for most of his life,wrote to Paul a few months ago to ask if he would sign the above picture for him.

Mick was over the moon to receive not only Paul's autograph but also a donation of £100 to The Beeches Football Club. Paul was himself a very good footballer but decided a career in horse racing best suited his size, Paul who supports Liverpool Football Club says he will also be keeping an eye out on our results.  

All club members would like to wish Paul all the very best in his challenge to retain his Champion Jockey title.

Jody Lawrence : For Jody his miserable start to the season has begun all over again. They say lighting never strikes twice but for Jody it has already.The flying Beeches winger will now be sidelined for several weeks following another injury incident in the now famous Cirencester Town Dome.

Last season also saw Jody miss the start of the season with a broken wrist now it's his thumb. How- ever in order to keep fit some lower legs exercises will be  highly recommended by the coaching staff.
