Academy Players Prepare for Remembrance Sunday

Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, Wolves Academy players honored those who served from an Old Gold perspective. The club’s under-12 players planted a tree at Compton Park last Friday in memory of Wolves players who fought in both World Wars.

During the ceremony, vicar Anne Martin was present as the children read the names of the fallen and shared a poem expressing their feelings about Remembrance. This moment of reflection marked the conclusion of a week-long series of events connected to Remembrance Day.
