Well they say football is a cruel game at times, but after the toughest of tough seasons it was simply brilliant to travel to Tiverton for the Plate final against a spirited Lympstone Youth team.
I cant deny I was desperate for the team to win and to have a bit of a celebration at the end of a hard season.
On a baking hot day and on the best pitch we have probably ever played on we were able to play in an open, expansive and exciting manner.
Well done to all of the 15 lads who participated and were worthy winners of the trophy.
Thanks and credit also to John who has been a great coach and support to the players in the last few weeks.
Jo took some great pictures of the match and if you haven’t seen them and want copies just let me know and I can forward them on. Thanks Jo.
It was lovely to celebrate the win back at the pub as well.
We have two matches left.
Wednesday 9th May at KGV against Central United
Saturday 12th May at KGV against Twyford. However we have a major problem as I understand that at least 6 players are missing due to D of E and Ten Tors. We are not allowed to play any matches at LGV after the 12th May so cannot delay it. I have appealed to the league and the Twyford manager to play it on Wednesday 16th May but will keep you posted.
To all the players, parents and supported I thank you and congratulate you all, it was a lovely occasion and a great experience for us all.
Mark
