Tomorrow we take on Torquay United in the FA Cup and what a day it could be. With an attendance of 400 we need you the crowd to be our 12th man if we are going to achieve the 1st Round Proper for the first time in our history. Up the Boatmen!

Sorry I can’t get my head around this one calling off Football surely it would have been a massive sign of respect for armbands to be worn and National Anthem to be sung in grounds around the Country in respect of the Queen. Opportunity missed as usual…..

Another 3 points in the bag against Bishops Cleeve. Wasn’t the best of starts by us and to go 1-0 down and down to 10 men most teams would crumble but that’s not what we are about and to come out winning 4-1 showed the togetherness of this group of players.
