Today's game

Thank you boys for making the really long trip to Bideford today.

It's no fun getting beat like that but Bideford are an excellent team with a squad of 18 strong players, which is why they were able to make substitutions every few minutes. Unfortunately we, on the other hand, were missing a few players and didn't have a single outfield sub which made it harder for us to keep the score at a more respectable level.  This was always going to the toughest fixture of the season so please don't be too upset about it.  To put it into context, the Bideford Manager said after the game that they beat a Division 1 team in the cup last week 9-0 and that it could have easily have been 20-0.  This shows the sort of standard they are at and demonstrates that they have clearly been placed in the wrong division.  However, its all experience for us to draw on for the future and looking on the bright side, we don't have to play them away again :-)

Captains armband for next game goes to Sean Laws for showing great improvement to his game - well done Sean.

I will not be at training on Monday as have to go in hospital for an operation but Joe will be there who is going to take you through some set pieces with you so please make sure you listen to him.

There is no fixture next Saturday but I would like to do some training instead so will blog details about this in the week.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
