So for the club as we approach March
we are still in the mix in three competitions
which is great news. As for where we will
end up we all can dream of winning all
three but realistically a cup win and a top
three place would be a very good season.
The club have started to look at the
youth sides currently with us; both the
U15s and 16s are unbeaten in their league
programme. The U16s won their league
last year and the U15s came second in the
league and won the cup. Our U18s have
just qualified for the Devon under 18s
County Cup Final.
Such is the promise of these youngsters
that we are applying to join the Somerset
Floodlight league giving these lads a feel
for travelling and playing as they would
in the senior side. The next step is to start
getting theses lads into our reserves and
hopefully into the first team.
A lot of these youths are local boys
so getting them playing for the local
team is always good news. It strengthens
already good community links and this
year we arranged a Santa run in aid of
the local school. The preschool often use
our facilities and we have recently made a
donation to a local community project that
had their equipment stolen in a burglary.
We are also a venue for parties’ for both
children and adults.
As to the future, we desperately want
to apply for promotion to Step 4. That

means we have much ground work to do.
In the last 2 years we have invested over
£100k into the off field projects. We have
created new changing facilities, we have
redeveloped the club house and we have
improved the car parking area.
Now we need to build a new stand and
outside toilet facility as well as needing
turnstiles and other such items to ensure
we have the correct ground grading to
go up. Our biggest challenge is doing all
those things within our means and maybe
one day look to move away from our home
for the last 55 years to a new all-purpose
built facility with multiple pitches.
