The winning number in the Christmas Bonus Ball draw (which is basically the same as the others except I drew a sprig of holly in the corner of the form) for the game against Wrexham on Saturday 21 December was 17, and won by Bob Panting. Congratulations Bob who wins a festive fifty quid.

Don't forget you too could be a winner like Bob in the Bonus Ball draw. Simply select a number from 1 - 49 at any Saturday home matchday and you will be a winner if it is the bonus ball drawn in that evening's main Lotto draw on BBC television. Each ball costs £2 each.

A festive break now before the New Year special game (where I might just draw an exploding firework on my form for the occasion) at home to Braintree Town on Saturday 4 January. I would like to wish all my Bonus Ballers and Welling United fans the world over a very Merry Christmas and a happy, safe, peaceful and prosperous 2014. See you at Princes Park on Boxing Day.
