Good evening and welcome
to our visitors Ivybridge Town
who are one of half a dozen
teams vying for the title.
Buxs
banter
I know it is beginning to sound
repetitive, but I was again hampered
by selection problems for our game against
Plymouth Parkway last Saturday.
It has been a common cause of frustration for me
during the season and it seems to be an obstacle that
just won’t go away.
At the time of writing these notes I am not even sure
what my side is going to be tonight because, although I
will have some players back, I have also lost some again.
We have used more than 40 players during the season
and the bottom line is we don’t financially reward our
players enough expenses-wise and as a result they
can’t afford to have time off work or to reward
someone to cover their shifts.
Sides like Plymouth Parkway – who have a decent
budget – do, and they turned up last Saturday with a
squad of 18 players. I could only field one substitute.
One pleasing aspect was the display of 18-year-old
Scott Townsend – another of our talented youngsters.
He took a little while to get accustomed to the pace of
the game, but I thought he did really well on his debut.
Although Parkway scored six goals,
the scoreline was not a fair
reflection of the play. In the first
half they did not really look like
would-be champions and we
held them for 40 minutes until
they scored a superb longrange goal which went in off
the woodwork.
However, it was the second
scrappy goal, with the last but
one kick of the half, that really
settled it in their favour.
Although 5-0 down we kept
battling away and deservedly
scored twice and saw a couple of
other efforts cleared off the line.
Enjoy
