As you may have noticed, there hasn’t been a Junior Dons Christmas Party over the recent festive period. Don’t worry though, we couldn’t let a year go by without a chance to limbo dance and pass the parcel with all the JDs, so we’re throwing you a party in February.

As usual all the players and manager will attend – there will be a disco, food and games, along with a guest appearance from Haydon the Womble. PLUS everyone who comes along with receive..
