Congratulations Jack on your fantastic achievement, with plenty more still to come we all hope 👏👏👏
We’re overwhelmed by the generosity shown by
@afcdunstable
to those walking to the game on Saturday.
Not only are they providing half price entry and a hot meal when they arrive, the takings from the game’s 50:50 draw will go to

too.
Top class from a top club 👏👏

Congratulations to captain Jack Wood, who played every minute of every game for the Ducks this season 💪
He's the first Ducks player to do this in a complete season since...
He did it himself in 2015-16 (when he played all 49 games 🤯)

TY DEACON UPDATE: Some good news that initial results show no broken bones, 'just' tears and stretched muscles. One more further x-ray to confirm.
Our best wishes to
@ty_dxx
for a speedy recovery, and hope to see you back soon!

The club is delighted to confirm that our management team of
@BenWilliams07
,
@MikeHogg70
and
@paul_batch_
has agreed to continue to lead the Ducks in the 2022-23 season 🦆🦆🦆
It’s with a heavy heart we share Ollie Hogg has decided to hang up his boots 😢
Ollie made 185 appearances scoring 23 goals in eight seasons as a Duck.
We'd like to thank Ollie for his loyalty and commitment, and he'll always be welcome at the club 💚🦆
Terribly sad news that we have to report that
@johercules
- wife of Cliff and mum to Max - has passed away. Our thoughts are with them both, as well as Frankie, Mia and the whole family at this time, she will be much missed. RIP 💕
The records just keep on coming for Jack Wood.
Yesterday's game was his 500th start, becoming the second Duck to reach that milestone.
And following yesterday's match, he moves above Greg Williams into second place on the list of all-time appearances.
What an achievement 👏🙌
Congratulations to
@BenWilliams07
who took charge of his 150th game for the Ducks on Wednesday evening.
We think (records are incomplete) this makes Ben the club's third longest-serving manager in terms of games 👏👏

LEST WE FORGET OUR OWN
As the country marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, lest we forget our own.
The pictured memorial stone was previously displayed at our Buckingham Rd ground in memory of those from the club who gave their lives in the 2 world wars.
Welwyn manager Nick Irontonhas been sent off for swearing at the linesman. He then continues to abuse the ref by swearing, and calling him ‘Judge Rinder’
