Manager - John Farrow

Formerly knows as "Wilsie's Whingers", WW5 have consistently provided the Crofters with probably their most demanding matches over the years. With their physical presence and ability to retain possession they remain the hardest opponents to break down, despite the fact they are all approaching their twilight years.

Their game-plan is based upon keeping the ball wherever possible, restricting space behind their defence and furiously contesting even the most obvious of decisions! In "Wilsie", they have a striker who is extremely strong on the ball, so they can play the ball to him from defence and let him hold it up allowing the other team members to advance and provide support. It is fair to say that Wilsie and Steve Dodge have enjoyed many a tussle in the past, each of them relishing the physical challenge as much as the other.

Most of the meetings between the Crofters and WW5 have ended with very little between the two teams in terms of scoreline, but the few times the Crofters have given them a hammering means they have edged it slightly overall.
