Winners - Leona Marsh, Corinne Salt, Mandy Bickle29/6/07.   Ladies presentation evening & they remain in the Jaipur League Division 1
The ladies held a presentation evening at the Football Club last week and the winners of the season were presented with their trophies.
The winners from left to right were 'Managers Player Of The Year' Leona Marsh, Corinne Salt who won 'Most Improved Player' and Mandy Bickle who won the 'Players Player Of The Year'.

Good news has been received this week after the Jaipur Womens league AGM. The ladies team will be continuing their football for the coming season in Division 1.

The Jaipur Cornwall League AGM took place at Roche FC on June 27th, with 23 teams confirmed for the forthcoming season. With champions Truro City having moved up to the South West League and Goonhavern then amalgamating with Truro, no clubs were relegated from Division 1. Torpoint Athletic and Saltash United were promoted from Division 2, whilst Penzance Reserves and Wendron dropped into the third. Roche and St.Breward went up to Division 2, St.Agnes took the third promotion spot offered, whilst Truro City Reserves were the only newcomers to Division 3. One name change saw Stoke Climsland become Callington Town. League fixtures commence on September 2nd.

13/6/07.   New injury hits the club.
Looks like the injury jinx has continued to hit the club.  Sounds like Dave Youlden has broke his ankle and will be in plaster for the next 6 weeks.  If this is right then we wish you all the best in your recovery Dave and look forward to seeing you back on the pitch soon.
11/6/07.   New 1st team managers announced.
The new first team manager has been named as Adrian 'Warby' Warburton along with his new assistant Dean Davis who returns to the club after a brief playing spell at Holsworthy FC.  Coming in with new ideas and with the youngsters now starting to come through along with some possible new blood this is promising to be an exciting season

Rich Pinkus continues to take charge of the young reserve team and after an impressive first senior season for a lot of players last season will be looking for that promotion spot this time round.

Pre season soon boys.  Think training will be starting on 18th July, so better start to lay off that beer and start getting in to shape now.

11/6/07.   Annual AGM.
The Annual General Meeting was held at the club and what a smashing start when treasurer Alf Dinshaw sat back on his chair and smashed a picture which Mrs Hodgson has only just taken up to the club.  A fairly timid AGM with the main points being the 1st team manager Clive Cornish and assistant Steve Bickle stepping down and running the 1st team superbly over the previous two seasons.  The youth section it was told had an overall successful season were a number of teams winning their leagues and cup competitions.  It was also noted that the youth under 16's team were looking for a manager for the coming season and they were also looking to start an Under 16's girls team and again were looking for a manager.
The main committee remained the same, but with three new additions, Jenny Prideaux, Mary (cant think of her surname??) , and young Glen Bickle who I'm sure will all help in the continued development of this club.  The youth committee also kept a fairly similar committee with Shelly Davis continuing her hard work as chairperson, Mark Hill as vice chairman and Adrian Warburton as secretary.
Membership fees, entrance fees and subs have been frozen for the coming season (maybe because of the successful campaign by 'The Sun' newspaper to reduce the costs of entrance fees).

If anyone else are interested in joining the main or youth committee and feel they could help at the club, please don't hesitate to get in contact.

9/6/07.   Sheila Voaden wins 2nd '200 Club' draw in a year.
Sheila Voadens number  85 must be the luckiest '200 Club' number going as she was drawn out for the second time this season and wins £ 300 cash. Sheila was also drawn out for the £ 300 Woolacotts vouchers back in February and has also won the main car draw prize twice, in previous seasons.
Chris Hendy was drawn out for the £ 50 accumulator but wasn't at the draw, so goes up to £ 60 next month.
Ricki Powell Presents Dan Starkey with 1st team award8/6/07.   Starkey finally receives 1st team award.
Dan Starkey has finally collected his award for first team Player Of The Year. Dan was unfortunately to ill to attend the presentation evening but is all fit and well again now.

Here we see Ricki Powell presenting Dan with the brand new 'Doug Powell'  player of the year trophy.  This memorial trophy was kindly donated in the memory of Doug who recently passed away.

Is Starkey still growing or what as he seems to be towering over poor old Ricki here???

1/6/07.   Congratulations to all winners at presentation evening.
Trophy winners for 06-07 seasonAn enjoyable evening was held at The Falcon Hotel for the presentation evening of the club.  After the meal the presentations were made.  Loads of initial thanks were made to various people who help in different ways around the club. These included Esme for her kit washing skills, Jenny for her work in the kitchen, Ann behind the bar, Shelly and Warbs for their excellent work in the youth section amongst others.  Under 16 player of the year went to Liam Sandercock, most promising player went to Anthony Giodarni or Gio as he's better known as, and his old man won Supporter of the year.  Club person of the year went to Ian Watson for his superb help around the club. Reserve team player of the year was Glen Bickle, the ladies team hadn't made a decision yet who their player of the year was, hopefully we will find out shortly.  Dan Starkey won the first team player of the year, but unfortunately was unable to make it due to illness, manager Clive Cornish accepted the trophy on his behalf.
Ollie Smith then got up and made a superb speech on behalf of the first team and also presented Steve Bickle with the new 'Ollie Smith' trophy for winning the friendly footie match played at the end of the season.
The evenings entertainment then began with Ollie and Greg Snowden making their way to the dance floor and after a few more beverages the dance floor started to finally get a bit busier.
Thanks to The Falcon for their superb venue and hospitality and to Richie Pinkus and Julie for organising the evening.
1/6/07.   Steve Smeeth Wins The 'Fantasy Football Dream Team' League.
Smeeth, Statton, Hodgson & BullettSteve Smeeth came out on top of the Bude Town FC Fantasy Football Dream Team league, picking up £ 100 in the process. His main man Didier Drogba came good for him and being top of the league most of the season deserved his win.  Tommy Statton started off slowly but then came flying up the league and won £ 60 for coming second (Kayleigh said 'for a change'), Hodgson, yes moi, had a pretty consistent season staying in the top three all season ended up third picking up £ 40.
If you haven't already seen the league you can click here to view the full top 20 countdown.

Well done and thanks must go to Bullett for his organisation of the league, hopefully it can be bigger and better next season.
Latest News In May 2007
Spurs/Man United team win the Smith cup.19/5/07.   United win the cup, Smith's cup anyway!
Steve Bickles' Spurs/Man United Supporters team were victorious in their friendly match against the favourites of Ollie Smiths Chelsea/Arsenal team beating them four goals to two.  The game was never going to be 'friendly', with Chris 'Chopper' Hudson on the pitch and he made his mark inside the first five minutes with a reckless tackle on a United player. The United side worked hard and took a 3 goal lead, but Smith put in a typical captains performance dragging his team back in to the game and took a well taken penalty early in the second half, they soon pulled another goal back, but Smiths team then run out of gas and Balsdon wrapped up the scoring for United with the final goal of the game.  The United side continued their celebrations in the bar afterwards watching the FA Cup final which unfortunately saw a poor game won by Chelsea scum (I'm not biased or anything).

Our best wishes go out to Alf Dinshaw who done a 'Hodgson' and ruptured his Achilles tendon with just two minutes of the game to go. Alf should be having an operation early this week and as I know will be in plaster and out of action for a while, get well soon, Alf.

12/5/07.   Ross Cook wins Travis Perkins vouchers in 200 Club draw .
Ross Cook (Greg Cooks old man) has won the May '200 Club' draw and receives £ 300 worth of Travis Perkins vouchers. The accumulator draw stood at £ 210 and Mr & Mrs Selbys' names were drawn out and they were actually there so picked up a tidy sum, just for being at the draw, well done as you two are always the monthly draw, so deserved it.
11/5/07.   Big game between Smith and Bicks postponed until next week .
The giant Smith versus Bicks footie match has been postponed for this week, as it's been thought the FA Cup final day would be a better all dayer at the club.  The game should still be in the morning with food being done for after the game. The bar will also be open and the FA Cup final between Man Utd and Chelsea will be on the TV there. Come up for the day and watch United beat Chelsea, on the Broadclose pitch and at Wembley.
Latest News In April 2007
29/4/07.   Emotional Under 16's lose on penalties in cup final.
The Under 16's travelled to St.Blazey for the Luke Cup Cornwall final and narrowly lost in a penalty shoot out.  The team who had a good following from Bude matched their Helston counterparts and were 2-1 up before Helston equalised towards the end of the game taking it in to extra time. No goals after the extra period meant penalties and in the end they lost out with players looking very emotional. It was difficult with most of the boys having to play games the previous day and some of them with only 10 men in their team.  Well done to the boys anyway for even reaching the final and the future of the club looks good with such a good bunch of you lads coming through.
29/4/07.   Steve Bickles' team dealt a blow for upcoming superstar game.
Hodgson & Balsdon Plastered AgainSteve Bickles' squad has been dealt a massive blow before his much anticipated game against Ollie Smiths Chelsea XI with the news that Gary Hodgson will be out after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon.  Danny Balsdon also looks likely to miss out after suffering a badly twisted ankle.

In an interview Bickle said " this is such a blow to the team with such an influential player now ruled out, but we will have try and make do with what we have got".  Smith has also been spoken to and said "Wiv Hodgson out, we are now clearly favourites, Chelsea! Chelsea!.  Chelsea! Chelsea!"  Smith has also stated that he has never felt fitter for a game and is looking to unleash his pace and power against an old and unfit Bickle team.  Sounds like fighting talk to me.

15/4/07.   Reserve team lose for the first time in 2007.
The reserve team lost their 1st game of 2007 against a strong Bratting Fleming team who are currently top of the division, two goals to nil.  The reserves who are currently fourth in the table can still push for second place if they can win their games in hand and continue well to the end of the season.  It's what this young side deserve, but a lot of hard work is required for that final push.  Keep going boys.
14/4/07.   April '200 Club' draw winner is Bob Barnett, pool comp also played.
Mr Bob Barnett has won the April 200 club draw and receives £ 300 worth of Woolacotts vouchers. Chris Cornish was drawn out for the accumulator draw which stood at £ 200 but was not there so it rolls out for another month. 

Following the draw was a couple of pool competitions, the first being killer pool which started a bit late due a drunk me during up late to help organise it, I could still see enough of the table to beat all comers mainly playing wrong handed though( you second teamers really ought to practise more).  The next event was speed pool and the idea was to see how many balls could be potted in 1 minute, Glen Bickle took the honours knocking in 12 balls (not bad) and taking home some pocket money, Smith came close knocking in more than most players.
There was going to be a darts competition but by this time most the 2nd team had disappeared, hopefully going straight home for a goods night sleep as they had an important game the following day.
6/4/07.   New Ollie Smith K.O Cup trophy to be contested for.
Technical Director Ollie Smith has helped arrange a fun footie match to be held on Sunday 13th May, the day after the 1st teams final league game.  Ollies team will be made up of Chelsea supporters and will playing against Steve Bickles team which will made up of Man United and Spurs supporters. The kick-off will be at 11am. Come and support, could be your last chance to see some of these old timers in action including Pinky!!

The April '200 club draw will be held on 14th April and this month after the draw we are going to have a darts competition and pool competition, probably killer pool or something.  We are trying to get all team players involved along with any other members wanting to have a bit of a larf.  Better get practising.  There will be a small entry fee, along with some prizes for the winners.
6/4/07.   Put 1st June in your diaries for end of season presentation evening.

Players can book their tickets with their respective team managers, anyone else wishing to come can talk to Julie Hodgson or Ann Hill to book theirs.
1/4/07.   Ladies win final league game but must now wait to find out their fate.
The ladies team won their final league game by beating second placed Mullion in the Jaipur Women's league three nil and putting an end to their recent poor form.  Lizzy Jenkins & Leona Marsh were on the score sheet for Bude.  They are now looking forward to next season already, but must wait until June on their fate as they have finished second from bottom, so it will depend on whether new teams come in and/or existing teams pull out.  Watch this space.

The ladies team are also looking for new recruits for next season, so if you are interested in playing, see to women's section on how to contact them.

6/2/07.   Forum Hackers!!
Looks like someone has kindly hacked in to our football forum (twats) a couple of weeks or so ago and put their own page on the site.  After looking in to it, looks like the company who host that forum have had their whole site hacked by 'Hacking The System'.  So I cant currently get hold of the hosting company, so not sure if I will be able to keep the same forum going or not.  If not then I will set up a new forum when I've got time, but it may take a while to re set up, possibly at the end of season???  Will keep you informed guys!!!

Mick Rushbrook - 21 Again!!!21/1/07.   Micky Rushbrook Celebrates His 60th
Congratulations to Micky Rushbrook on his 60th birthday.  For some reason he decided to stage a veterans football match against the reserve team of 1994, I think??  Anyway the veterans experienced side failed to gel as they went down three nil.  Their defence with a combined age of about 400, sat back way too much, and the lack of talking from Clive Cornish, Steve Bickle and keeper Alf Dinshaw, was their undoing, with Dinshaw making a complete hash of the first goal, his hand to eye co-ordination right out of the window.  Clive Cornish then thought there was no way he would be able to get in the opponents half to score so scored an own goal instead, with Dinshaw diving like a fish out of water in an attempt to stop it.  The game was wrapped up soon after with a well taken finish towards the end of the half.  A good crowd was there to watch and celebrations continued after the game in the bar with a band, some food and probably a few beers.  The veterans have agreed to play again, probably in a couple of years time when they don't ache anymore and they can strengthen that shoddy defence.  Anyway congratulation Mick.  Although 60, lasted  longer than anyone else on the pitch. Well done Mick!! 

A few more photos of the game are now in the gallery.  It was difficult to take a decent picture, with the pace of the game so fast it was hard to keep the camera still enough and focus properly.

14/1/07.   Under 16's Through To Semi-Final Cornwall Cup Competition

4/11/06.   Reserve Team Go Out In Junior Cup 2nd Round
Bude Reserves went out in the 2nd round to Duchy Premier League team Dobwalls 3-1.  An even first half saw Dobwalls take the lead with a well taken strike early on from 12 yards out. Bude had their chances but went in at half time a goal behind.  Bude came out buzzing in the 2nd half and soon equalised with Liam Sandercock not realising the ball had hit his leg from a great free kick.  It was one way traffic and only Bude looking like winning the tie, but late on Dobwalls broke quick and the the ball went through to the home keeper who quickly hit the ball on to striker Colin Barrett who never misses with an open goal in front of him.  Dobwalls wrapped the game up in the final minute when the home keeper fumbled a long range strike and the ball dropped over the goal line.  Unlucky boys, you deserves a lot more out of this game.

The 1st team made the long trip to Jollys Combination team St.Day and lost seven goals to one.  Bude were the better side for opening 20 mins and took the lead with a good move which saw Dan Balsdon score from the edge of the box.  A bad 10 mins saw Bude let four goals in as basic mistakes let in St.Day.  The second half would always be an uphill struggle but they created plenty of chances but never had that little bit of luck and let in a couple of late goals and the game finished on 7-1.  The week before the reserve team lost by exactly the same score with Josh Kerslake scoring Budes only goal of the game from a penalty.

12/8/06.   Ollie Smith Turns A Bad Day In To A Great Day At '200 Club Draw'
The August 200 Club evening kicked off with a Committee versus Youth Committee footie match. The committees' Ollie Smith was the pick of a bad bunch, looking like he's finally getting his sharpness back. All that was lacking was his killer instinct in front of goal fluffing a number of clear chances in front of goal, the committee were then awarded a penalty mid way through the first half, but had obviously been watching Balsdon too much in practice as Smith toe poked the ball straight over the bar.  The youth committees had a great pair of strikers up front, I mean Shelly Davis and the polish international Tracy Wotsnitzka, but they also had a frustrating evening as wingers Andy Haines and Simon Chadwick failed to  pick them out in the box. The match finished nil - nil forcing the game in to penalties. The committees Julie Hodgson was the only player to score as she placed the ball in to corner with keeper Adrian Warburton only managing to get his finger tips to it.  Smith also missed his second penalty of the day.

Bude FCs Technical Director Ollie SmithSmiths despair turned to joy as the prize winner for the 'BIG DRAW' went to none other than guess who, the technical director of Bude FC, Mr Ollie Smith. Ollie said he may get himself a new car with the £ 4,000 won. Congratulations Mr Smith.  See the forum for more views on Smiths win.  The accumulator draw would have gone to Mr Michael Hicks but he was not at the draw so unfortunately lost out on the £ 120 on offer, which will now roll over to next months draw. 

There are a couple more pictures in the photo gallery.

Bude now face another tough game on Wednesday with a local derby away to Morwenstow who won their opening game 6-2 against Roche, the kick off will be 6.30pm.

It's changed a bit, hopefully for the better.  Not entirely changed it all yet, but should look complete over the next few weeks.  No longer got the 'Question Time' but have replaced this with a forum, which some of you said you would like to see on here.  You can go and chat and make your points etc, leave messages, you just need to register your details on there, so make use of it.

By the way, after a few months of our question of the moment ' Do you think we should relocate the football club away from Broadclose', we had  a good response which found you lot don't want to move.

26/6/06.   Fashion Show Is A Big Success
A Ladies Fashion Show on Monday 26th June on behalf of Bude Town Football Club and held at The Falcon Hotel was a huge success. Over 160 ladies filled the function room to watch the show organised by Julie Hodgson and Amy Hayes and hosted by Sarah from 'Off The Peg', Sidmouth.  They enjoyed nearly an hour of local, nervous models strutting up and down the catwalk, after which a draw was made with some top prizes.  Then on to the important stuff as the ladies were allowed to fight their way through the vast range of clothes modelled earlier on and grab some top bargains on the way.  Although a lot of hard work was put in to the event,  £ 948 was raised for the club.  Lots of thanks, The Falcon Hotel for the use of their function room, Felicty Kates for doing the models makeup, Alf and Bicks for selling the draw tickets, all the local businesses in their generosity in providing draw prizes, including Elements Restaurant, Ginger Q, The Tasty Plaice, Inn On The Green, Felicity Kates, amongst many others.
