What made you want to try VMFC out for the first time?:

 

I was looking to join a Sunday league team and VMFC was the closest to get to.

 

Why should new players join VMFC:

 

New players should join VMFC because it’s a good way to help someone improve their footballing ability as anyone and everyone can join regardless of ability. Even if someone was to join mainly for the social aspects over the weekend, the club is a good way of becoming more involved as I personally found out, with there being plenty of competitive games and nights out to accompany them.
