The M’Duck Cup, won in pouring rain in Leicester, back in 2001. The day was probably just as memorable for Wenham’s cracked ribs and lack of a jacket leading to a bout of pneumonia

Having beaten Hearts and St Mirren in memorable fashion along the way, WIFC met their old rivals from QPR in the IFA Cup Final in 2002. Unfortunately, and despite a man of the match showing from Dave Perahia, QPR ran out 3-0 winners on the day. Here is the runners-up medal.

The shield below was presented to WIFC on the occasion of the first match against Inter Milan, which took place at Yeading FC in September 2002. The IFA had asked for teams to entertain the Italian visitors and this match was the first of a triple header for Inter. A return visit took place in May 2005.

WIFC have always been a leading light in the IFA, and this has led to the club winning the coveted team of the year award on three occasions, in 1999, 2005 & 2008. Voted by all other member clubs, the team of the year award is awarded to the team deemed to be the best team to play against in terms of sportsmanship and playing in the spirit intended by the IFA. On winning the shield for the third time, the club were allowed to keep the shield, and re-name the award after one of it’s own. As such, the IFA team of the year now wins the Peter Fincham Shield.

On the back of the team of the year award for the 3rd time, WIFC had their best ever Worldnet in 2008, finishing runners-up to Preston. A picture of the runners-up medal is below. This one belongs to Mat Ball.

In May 2010, WIFC won their first silverware since 2001 when the club won the 8-team Stevenage Tournament. Once Bally gets his finger out and sends me a picture that’s not all blurred, it will be added here.
