	25.11.05 - A GOOD CAUSE How would you like to bid for a signed Norwich City Football and at the same time support a very worthy cause? If so get yourself over to O`Reillys in the High Street, Lowestoft on the evening of Thursday 8th December. Norwich City have donated a signed ball to an auction organised by Kate Paveley to raise funds for The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.
Besides the ball there are many more great items to go under the hammer. You can check them out on Kate's web site at www.justgiving.com/katesworld. The auction gets underway at 8pm so if you don't want to miss out on some great auction items we suggest you get there in good time.

23.11.05 - BACK TO WINNING WAYS

We have now completed our report from Saturday's Under-18 victory against Crystal Palace at Colney. Bally Smart, Chris Martin and Lee Howlett were the scorers as the Canary ran out 3-1 winners after a goalless first half. For the full report and photos click here or on the picture left.

20.11.05 - SHANE HERBERT JOINS THE GILLS Academy keeper Shane Herbert has joined Gillingham on a deal taking him through until the end of the season. With England Youth international Joe Lewis ahead of him, chances were limited for Shane at Colney and former Canary Paul Crichton, now player-coach at Gillingham, was involved in setting up the move which gives Shane a fresh chance. We are sure that Norwich fans will join FONCY in wishing Shane all the best at Gillingham and thanking him for the part he played in the Norwich Academy which included being part of the 2001 Northern Ireland Milk Cup winning team.
