Christmas Family Fun Evening - Report
A Christmas fun evening was held at the football club on Saturday 10th December. The night began at 7.30pm sharp with various darts skittles and pool competitions which were organised by Bev Birch, Alma Bishop and Sally Bayley. During the course of the night the Youth carried out their Christmas Draw which had been organised by Shirley Jones, Marie Heard and Sally Jago.
There were a large number of players, managers and families all taking part in the competitions. The darts and pool were played individually with youngsters showing the older ones how it should be done and the skittles were made up of families, again showing some very hidden talents!
The darts was eventually won by John Orchard, who could certainly give Adrian Lewis a run for his money, the skittles was won by the Carter family and the pool, after some very long, intense matches was won by Ethan Lewis.
A super evening was had by all, well organised and a chance for team mates and theirs families to get together and have some fun whilst enjoying a lovely buffet as well.
Well done to everyone who was involved in making this night a big success.

Holsworthy Youth Presentations
Holsworthy Youth Football Presentation Day 2011
On Sunday 5th June at 3pm the Holsworthy Youth held their presentation day in the Memorial Hall.
There was another outstanding turnout of young players, parents, grandparents and friends all supporting the efforts of the youth players.
All the youth teams, starting from the youngest along with their managers were gathered on the stage to receive various awards for their achievements throughout the season.
All the players received a trophy for the season.
There was a draw to win a family ticket to Exeter City, this was extremely well supported. Holsworthy Football Club chairman Barry Parrish announced the winning number but unfortunately the winning ticket couldn't be located for quite a while - luckily Barry decided to check his own tickets and was pleased to discover he had the winner!

Clive was presented with the 'Clubman of the Year' trophy for his outstanding dedication to the club. This year Clive has managed two teams in the youth league.
We would like to thank all our managers for their dedication to the Youth Teams again this season, without their time, skill and patience we would not have such a thriving and successful youth group. Everyone who gives their time to the Youth Teams are a real credit to the organisation, we are very proud to have such a wonderful lifeline for the future.
We look forward to seeing players old and new for next season, training details will be available shortly.

Sadly one of our managers has stepped down from his managers role for the under 12’s. Glen Johns has worked tirelessly for this team over the years but due to pursuing his passion for rugby, he has now started to coach rugby regularly. He will be greatly missed.
On a happier note, we are pleased that two dads have come forward to take on the new Under 9 team. They are Chris Haxell and Paul Barnes. We would like to welcome them to the club and wish them every success for the upcoming season.
We would also like to thank Andy Green from Andigestion for donating over £1000 to the Youth Teams. With this money we have been able to buy much needed training equipment for the teams and managers.
We would like to thank all our managers for their dedication to the Youth Teams, without their time, skill and patience we would not have such a thriving and successful youth group.
Everyone who gives their time to the Youth Teams are a credit to the organisation, we are proud to have such a wonderful lifeline for the future.
