Hi all
I've managed to reserve the last 2 places in the Newton St Cyres 5 a-side tournament on Saturday 9th July. Can you confirm asap if your son is available to play as I need to make payment by Tuesday to keep the places.
Thanks.

Bideford 0-1 Central United
What an amazing way to end the season, beating our nemesis to stay up.........I never doubted you for one minute!! We were deserved winners playing some fantastic football with fantastic team spirit.
Early in the second half George delivered a dangerous whipping free kick into the box that only needed the faintest of touches to guide it in which Marcus gladly obliged. With about 25 minutes to see out on a slender lead it was always going to be nervy but I felt we were pretty much in control of things and could have even grabbed another when Marcus, with his back to goal, turned and volleyed a great shot forcing a great save by the Bideford keeper but it wasn't required, as due to some brilliant defending, 1 goal was all we needed in the end to see them off and finish the season on a great high.
There were a number of brilliant performances but I am going to give Man if the Match to Joseph for having one of his best games of the season, despite not feeling 100%. Also, his goal line clearance in the first half was so important in preventing us going behind before half time.
I thought it would be good to get together tomorrow at KGV for one final kick about before we break for the summer. As my treat, there will be hot dogs, chips and some soft drinks afterwards. I thought we could meet at 6.15pm and play a game amongst ourselves until about 7pm and then grab some food which will take us to about 7.45pm. If there are any vegetarians amongst you, pop me a text.
Well done all and look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Central Utd 3-7 Cullompton Rangers
Hi all
Well.....not the result we were looking on Monday night chaps, especially as it now means we need to go to Bideford on the 14th......and win! But there really is no reason why we can't as we have pushed them close on a few occasions now, last time only losing to single goal so we have to go there with the right frame of mind.
If we fail and other results don't go our way and we drop to Division 2 it's hardly the end of the world and actually may not be a bad thing, as we would be able to compete for some silverware next season and hopefully bounce back stronger. As discussed with you all after the game, whilst we all like to win, enjoying playing football and being part of a team with friends are the most important things.
Awards Day 2pm Saturday at Exeter City in the Marquee and training Monday 6pm to 7pm at KGV.

West Exe 1 - 0 Central United
Positives: Had most of the possession and played the better football
Areas to focus on: Being more aggressive in the tackle, chasing in on the keeper, finishing
Man of the match: Pacey - was our most physical presence and retained the ball brilliantly under pressure.
Managers comments: A really disappointing result losing once again to just a single goal and having had most of the possession - West Exe barely threatened our goal in the second half. The pitch was quite short and West Exe kept plenty of players behind the ball, which made it difficult to break them down, especially with the amount of fouls they committed with many going unpunished.

We should definitely have had a penalty to put us level when Francis was pushed in the back but getting such a decision away at West Exe is unlikely!
Anyway, staying in Division 1 is still in our hands boys if we beat Cullompton tomorrow night at KGV. KO is 6.30pm so can we meet at 6pm please.
Look forward to seeing you then!
