History lesson on Ipswich Wanderers

The club was established as an under-14 boys team based in Bramford in 1980. In 1982 they joined the bottom division of the Ipswich Sunday League. Sponsorship resulted in a name change during 1988 to Loadwell Ipswich. In the same year they became founder members of Division One of the Eastern Counties League. The club was renamed Ipswich Wanderers in 1989. In 1997–98 they were Division One champions, earning promotion to the Premier Division. Their first season in the Premier Division was a struggle and they were saved from relegation only by the merger of Sudbury Town and Sudbury Wanderers. However, they won the East Anglian Cup, defeating St Neots Town in the final. However, the club were relegated back to Division One at the end of the 2002–03 season.

Ipswich Wanderers were Division One champions in 2004–05, earning promotion to the Premier Division. They were relegated to Division One again after finishing bottom of the Premier Division in 2007–08. In 2012–13 the club won the Suffolk Senior Cup for the first time, beating local rivals Whitton United on penalties in the final at Portman Road. They were promoted back to the Premier Division after finishing third in Division One in 2013–14. The 2017–18 season saw the club finish in the second-from-bottom of the Premier Division, resulting in relegation to Division One North. At the end of the 2020–21 season they were transferred to Division One South, winning nine and drawing one of the ten matches that were played before the season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the 2021–22 season the club won 23 consecutive league matches, going on to win the Division One title and earn promotion to the Premier Division. They also won the Suffolk Senior Cup, defeating Leiston reserves 1–0 in the final. The following season saw them win the Premier Division, earning promotion to the North Division of the Isthmian League. Earlier in the season Dereham played Ipswich Wanderers and it was Dereham who came away with the victory, Dereham will be hoping to do the league double on Saturday.

Not the result we were hoping for, we battled to the end but couldn’t quite convert our chances, a promising performance against a team the Division above nonetheless! Onwards and upwards for our next game🖤🤍

Dereham 2 Stowmarket 2

If I was to sum up yesterdays game overall then the word I would use is poor. You could tell there was nothing to play for apart from pride between two sides who wont get drawn into the relegation battle but otherwise are set for mid table positions in the table. First half there was not a lot of quality on show although both teams did try their hardest, second half was better and I wasnt even in the covered area when Stowmarket went ahead. Our response was excellent and we drew level thanks to a briliant strike from Ricky Bevis for his first goal for us what a moment for him. We fell behind again but we then got some luck as we were awarded a penalty for a foul on Jesse Fenn, up stepped Brad Spooner and he converted from the spot to make sure that we got something from the game. We remain 10th and move on to 29 points. Next up for us is a home game against Ipswich Wanderers and a chance to grab three points.
