Last Saturday we travelled to Ivybridge and more than held our own again, until they scored three late goals – the win taking them to the top of the league. We have now drawn more games than any other side in the league – eight in total – against the likes of Bodmin, Parkway, Saltash, and Launceston, and all away from home. The fact is we now need to start turning draws in to wins. Local games are the main reason why we moved leagues and a good crowd tonight will hopefully justify that move. Tonight’s visitors, Witheridge are just one of a handful of sides in with a great chance of winning the Premier League title – along with Plymouth Parkway, Exmouth, Ivybridge, and Bodmin. I know Witheridge manager Chris Vinnicombe will not underestimate us and will be looking to get all three points to stay in the hunt for the title. ..............................................

Having used 36 different players this season for the first team, I am hopeful I will be able to field a more settled side in our remaining fixtures. With a mid-table finish the target, we still have11 games at home and only four away from home. Many of our Under-18s have had a taste of first team football this season and have more then held their own – including Jake Welch, Jack Bryant and Lewis Fraser. These three will all play a part in tonight’s game. Enjoy BUXS CLUB TRUSTEES: Alan Cockram, Peter Buckingham, Phil Howe & Pete Garnsworthy. 33
