The club�s cricket ground was packed on Sunday afternoon as the decision to allow the town�s junior football club to stage a round robin set of matches in the Tony Pryce sponsored Mid Devon Youth League proved a roaring success with over 200 people attending the three and a half hours of football.

The club bar was open serving teas, coffees, and of course the full range of alcoholic beverages and everyone in attendance agreed that it was a venue that was perfect for the hosting of junior football matches.

Club President Roy Nott was one of those who agreed that it was fabulous to see the cricket club able to offer up so much pleasure to so many people other than the regular cricket use and certainly, all those in attendance though it was the perfect venue and sincere thanks were expressed by the organisers to the cricket club for their agreement to allow the event to be staged.

Some twelve teams compete in the Mid Devon Youth League and each venue puts on two pitches to play the matches and the cricket club will also be staging a round robin series of matches in the Under 10 age group.

Two pitches under the Football Association�s mini soccer rules were marked out on the outfield allowing for a pitch adjacent to the square running down by the hedge that overlooks Charwell Meadow/Townlands and the second pitch was marked at the �top end� of the cricket ground.
