 Holsworthy AFC Holsworthy A.F.C. has to announce that Team Manager Graham Bedford has unfortunately suffered a serious motoring accident and as a result has had to stand down as Team Manager. He is wished a speedy recovery and return to full health, writes Alistair Clements. To succeed him Ian Rowe has been asked to assume responsibility for the Team Manager role with immediate effect. Ian has had a long and distinguished career in South West football, much of it with Holsworthy but also for a period with St.Blazey, and is well known throughout Devon and Cornwall football. As a Holsworthy resident, the development of local players to mature to Peninsula League standard is an important aim and any player who feels able to do this is invited to attend Wednesday training sessions at 7.30 pm at Upcott Field. The new season is drawing close so new players will be very welcome and will rarely have a better chance of making the grade at this level of football. Ian will be assisted by Rob Fuller former Manager of Western Division rivals Callington Town who co-incidentally are Holsworthy's first opponents of the season. On Thursday 29th July, the Annual General Meeting takes place at 7.30pm, open to all eligible Members of the Football Club. Venue is the Magpie Social Club. Pre-season training started on Wednesday 14th July at 7pm, any current, past or new player who thinks he can perform at Peninsula League, Western Division standard is invited to attend on the night at 7.00 pm. A pre-season friendly sees Brixham Villa coming up at 2pm on Saturday 14th August.

Moore Trophy Wednesday 28th July 2010 Holsworthy AFC 0 Bude Town 4 After the recent Joma Competition at Upcott Field, Holsworthy's own pre-season got under-way on Wednesday, writes Alistair Clements. Having lost the Management Team after only a few weeks in post (and in doing so creating some bad feeling at the club), new Manager Ian Rowe, assisted by Rob Fuller, had their work cut-out to formulate a squad against old rivals Bude Town. They did well to produce a side at short notice but they had obviously not played together before and were pitted against a competent visiting side that equally obviously had played together in the past. Holsworthy produced a spirited performance in the first half especially; fell away a bit in the second but the score flattered the visitors helped by two avoidable late second half goals. The first chance fell to Holsworthy when a shout for a penalty was turned down by referee Ivor Phillips who adjudged “ball to hand" rather than the opposite, a decision which most supporters concurred with. Bude were then awarded their own when an advancing forward was brought down by goalkeeper Fuller only for the spot-kick to be miss-kicked wide. After half time another Bude attacker was pulled down, this time outside the box and from the resultant free-kick a superb shot went over the wall and into the top corner of the net giving 'keeper Fuller no chance whatever. They then went further ahead when the 'keeper was rounded to make the score 0-2. Two further goals arose when balls played through the defence were slotted past substitute goalkeeper Walters to complete the scoring at 0-4. Bude deserved their win but Ian Rowe can take some heart from the work -rate and when the players gel and acclimatise with one another there could be the nucleus of a decent side. D.A.Clements
