EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE: Jed Hewitt (chairman), Mark Harris, Keith Humphrey, Phil Chant, Jackie Herniman, Todd Woodberry & Neville Crocker. Good evening and welcome to our visitors, Bovey Tracey. We go into tonight’s game on the back of five successive defeats. It is also now 13 games since our last victory – at home against Cullompton back at the end of November. However, in that time we have managed five draws – all away from home and given some good performances. However, a recurrent theme this year has been a difficulty in picking a squad every week, especially for away games – some weeks I haven’t even had anyone to sit on the bench! Against Liskeard a week ago I had to field a muchchanged side from the team that played at Ivybridge. And for the match at St Austell last Saturday I also had to make a host of changes again – no less than eight first team players were unavailable for selection. This seems to have been the pattern throughout the season. At the moment I am begnning to question the players’ commitment to the club. The players are letting their teammates, supporters and me down – I feel at times I am banging my head against a brick wall. When I was playing you daren’t miss a game on Saturday because you wouldn’t get back in the side and we only used 14 players a season. So far this season I have had to use 36. .............................................. FOOTBALL COMMITTEE: Jed Hewitt (chairman), Matt Howe, Ian Edgecumb, Neville Crocker, Nick Westcott, Keith Humphreys, Colin Gunney (PR). .............................................. FINANCE COMMITTEE: Jed Hewitt, Graham Lockyer, Pete Garnsworthy, Phil Chant and Jackie Herniman. I am hoping that tonight the players will prove me wrong, roll up their sleeves and give me and the club the performance I know they are very capable of. ..............................................
