Wroxham v Norwich United postp[oned due to weather

Friday nights Norfolk Senior Cup semi-final between Wroxham and Norwich United was postponed less than an hour before kick-off due to a heavy snowstorm which hit Wroxham's Trafford Park ground early Friday evening.
The tie has been re-arranged for Tuesday 5 February, kick-off 7.45pm.

Assistant Manager Quits

Norwich United Assistant Manager Donny Pye has shocked the club by handing in his resignation. Pye, who has seen the Planters rise to be one of the leading clubs in local non-league football during his two spells at the club, stated "the club is in a very strong position, and I'm sure that Gary Butcher will continue to take the club forward, I just feel that the time is right for me to step down."

Butcher, who took over the managerial reigns at the start of the season, said "Donny's decision comes as a complete surprise, but I would like to express my thanks to Donny for all the hard work he has done for me and the club and wish him well for the future."

Pye first joined Norwich United in the late 1980's as Paul Chick's assistant and together they took the club into the Jewson League for the first time in 1989 and achieved an immediate promotion, which was denied by lack of facilities at the old Gothic ground. Promotion duly followed a season later with a move to their current Plantation Park ground at Blofield. In the first season in the Premier Division the Planters finished 4th and won the League Cup. When Chick and Pye left the club's fortunes plummeted and it was only when Pye joined manager Paul Franklin that the club regained it's Premier Division status in 2002, the club have remained in the Premier Division ever since and reached the Norfolk Senior Cup Final in 2006.

New Sponsorship Deal

Norwich United would like to welcome new sponsors Spenny G’s and thank them for the smart new kit and hope it will prove to be a successful partnership.

New Manager Announced

The Planters have announced their new manager as former Acle, Yarmouth and Blackburn Rovers player Gary Butcher. Gary played for Gothic and was an apprentice at Norwich City before moving to Yarmouth. Whilst there he was spotted & snapped up by Blackburn Rovers where he spent 2 1/2 years as a player. From there he played for a few teams around the North East including 150 appearances for Accrington Stanley. Gary also played for Clitheroe before moving into management and as part of a joint management team he lead Clitheroe to a Wembly FA vase final.

More recently he has spent 7 years as a coach at the Norwich City FC Academy nurturing some of the young talent that has been breaking through to the 1st team. The likes of Ian Henderson, Dean Sinclair, Ryan & Rossi Jarvis, Michael Spillane, Joe Lewis and Chris Martin have all be under Gary’s watchful eye on their way to professional contracts. During his time looking after the youth and Norwich he lead a team to win the Youth Milk Cup Final in Northern Ireland in 2001 

He says one of his aims is to return to the FA vase final and next time to come home with the trophy.
