Half time season review.
It's Christmas already which means we should be nearly half way
through the season, but with the rubbish weather conditions this
season there's probably going to be a big fixture pile up come the end
of season.The
first team had a superb start to the season, unbeaten in their opening
10 games and briefly going top of the Premier division. After going
out in the first round of the Cornwall Senior cup, they then went on
and lost their next 3 league games. Since then though there has been
no league matches in 6 weeks, although they win in the Torridge cup
only to be kicked out because of ineligible player. They also remain
in the Westward Ho cup after beating Barnstaple last week. Back in the
league they still remain strong in 3rd place, but have a lot of the
big boys still to play and will be starting 2010 with local rivals
Morwenstow. The aim is to push for an opportunity to play in next
seasons Peninsula league. A lot of work is needed from now on !!
After gaining promotion
to the North Devon Senior league the second team have struggled to
pick up early season points, only gaining one win so far and are
currently 12th in the league. The squad is now though looking a bit
stronger and they are unbeaten in the last 2 games, so the second half
of the season looks more promising and they still have cup
competitions to play for.
The ladies' season has
been up and down, winning one week, losing the next and then winning
again. The weather again has stopped them from playing since 1st
November, but manager Aaron will be looking to get a more consistent
winning run going to boost their current mid table position and maybe
pick up a trophy in one of the cups.
Good luck to all the
teams for the rest of the season.
Don't forget Boxing day
derby. The reserve team are playing local rivals Kilkhampton with a
11am kick off. Come and watch, should be great match and hopefully a
big crowd !!! |

Thanks to compere and chairman Graham Hodgson along with assistants
Robin Worden and Julie Hodgson.
The £300 '200 Club' Co-Op
vouchers were drawn and the £100 accumulator draw was not claimed so
rolls over to the new year !!
Lots of prizes for the
Christmas draw went, thanks to Gina and Gary for getting the prizes.
Thanks again to everyone who made the effort to come and make the
night an enjoyable one for all, Merry Christmas !!!!!! |

1st team thrown out of Torridge Cup!!.
'It is with deepest regret that I have to report the 1st teams
expulsion from this years Torridge Cup tournament. I made a mistake
when registering the players for the competition. Unfortunately I
neglected to include the name of Billy Hopcroft. I took the names from
the current list I have for players registered for the Club for all
competitions for this season. Unfortunately, because Billy didn't
commit himself to the Club until the season was well under way, I
neglected to add him to that list. Having played the game
against Torrington in the first round and walloping them 4-1, I
brought this matter to the attention of the cup committee before it
was picked up by them. I explained why this had come about, and said
that we had not in any way tried to deceive by playing an unregistered
player, and that it was purely an administrative error, and a mistake
on my behalf as Club secretary when submitting the form. I pleaded
that the team should not be punished, as they had no knowledge of this
whatsoever. If punishment was necessary it should be against myself by
means of a fine, or whatever, due to an administrative error, not a
playing violation. I thought that maybe, as this is their centenary
year, and they had allowed entries at no charge, they would have a bit
of compassion. But, although they commended me for bringing it to
their attention, "RULES IS RULES".
'Well you wouldn't expect anything else from North Devon would you. I
do apologise to the Club most sincerely, and to the players in
particular.
Anybody want my job?!!'
Pinky (Club Secretary). |

2nd team go out in Combe Martin Cup.
The 2nd team went out of the league cup after a 5-3 loss against the
current league leaders Chittlehampton. Bude went in at half time
at two all with goals John Clayton and a penalty from Jason Stewart.
The home side scored three good goals in the second half and although
Bude pulled one back it wasn't quite enough against the unbeaten
Chittlehampton side, but hopefully they can take this performance in
to the league match on Saturday against second placed Braunton and
start climbing the table. |
