P. 3

A good afternoon to you all. It feels a long time
       since we last played a  home  game  and after
       taking  in  visits  to  Clevedon,  Ilfracombe  and
       more  recently  Newquay  in  the  FA  Vase,  it  is
       great  to  be  back  on  our  own  patch!  This
       afternoon  we  welcome  the  players,  officials
       and  supporters  of  our  close  neighbours  and
       friends  from  Cadbury  Heath  as  we  return  to
       league action. We also extend a warm welcome
       to this afternoon’s referee Ryan Blackman and
       his assistants Valentin Pomfret & Mark Oswin.

       We  have  faired  pretty  well  on  our  travels.  A
       good point at Clevedon after coming back from
       2 down with 10 men was followed by a very
       good  performance  at  Ilfracombe,  in  which
       although  we  lost  our  unbeaten  run  on  the
       road, had luck been with us it could have been
       a different story. The Vase win at Newquay was
       very  satisfying  and  apt  reward  for  the
       supporters who made the long trip to cheer the boys on and for whom we are so
       grateful - thank you,

       Whist writing these notes I see that we have been further rewarded with another
       excursion to Cornwall to face Liskeard Athletic in the next round of the FA Vase on
       20 November. This is another challenge that we will embrace. Understandably there
       has been a lot of talk around the grounds this season over the increased level of
       travelling required to compete at this level and whilst it does, without doubt, put
       additional pressures on clubs and even more so on the players, it is not without its
       rewards and has certainly added a different dimension to things.

       I must also take this opportunity to welcome Dan Cottle to the club. Dan is an
       exciting attacking player who brings more experience of playing at a higher level
       and has made an immediate impact in his two appearances to date. I am sure you
       will enjoy watching him play here.

       As usual we expect a tough test from the Heath this afternoon. I hope that you
       enjoy it and thank you for coming.
