Re: Match Chat
Given Bovey's set up, I can see these guys on their way up in a season or two.

Re: Match Chat
Early days yet steve. I am sure that you will turn it round once a few of your regular guys are back. I had the same problem as you sat with last minute cry offs and the MUSE Concert taking its toll. Its funny that 4 guys can turn up and play when they had tickets but all the rest were suddenly unavailable. Still fair play to Kingsbridge they battled well and never gave up, they scored there equaliser 5mins into injury time.
Langers had an off day missing 3 one on ones with the keeper and we were guilty of missing other chances. Still with only 12 players and 2 of them starting for the first time I would have settled for a point b4 the start.
Can honestly say the pitch is a real eye opener, I cant see anybody enjoying that away trip this season. All the best for sat regards chadz.

Re: Match Chat
Do they still change at the top of the hill and play down the bottom of the hill on a tiny sloping pitch?

Re: Match Chat
They change in the school changing rooms next to a decent pitch which only has a slight slope. No hot water in the changing rooms ! Then you walk down across the main road then walk up to the pitch which is more suited for grazing cattle. The grass is cut but has dried out more like straw and is quite a poor playing surface. The pitch is tiny and must be one of the smallest pitches in the league. Can only just meet minimum requirements specified by FA.
Best of luck for december mate, I am glad we had this trip in sep when the weather is kind of good. You will need your thermals in december especially on that hill.

Re: Match Chat
22/08/09 Buckfastleigh Rangers Res 1- 1 Teign Village Res
The game at Duckspond started brightly with both sides having a chance in the opening exchanges. It was Village, though, that got the opener after ten minutes when a mistake in the Rangers defence handed a glorious chance to left winger Shaun Wills, who capitalised and gave his side the lead. 1-0.
As the rain drove down, Rangers drove on and created the better of the chances in the remainder of the half. Martin Potter was inches off bringing the sides level, but couldn’t quite reach Gavin Hamm’s superb left wing cross that was placed perfectly between the Village keeper and defence. However they escaped and then restricted Rangers to further unsuccessful chances for Declan Cowley and Hamm. Cowley picked up a harsh booking for an unavoidable foul and Rangers went in behind.
Rangers started the second half promisingly as they forced a succession of corners and increasing pressure on the Village defence, despite this, Rangers failed to take advantage of their relentless pressure and were reduced to long range efforts as the determined Village defence failed to crack. Village were penned into their own half and defended resiliently. Still Rangers couldn’t make the breakthrough. As Rangers pressed further and defenders became attackers; Village created three or four breakaway chances and their number ten squandered a couple of glorious chances. It stayed 1-0 until roughly two minutes left on the referee’s watch when left back Darren Greep found fellow defender Mick Howells, who pumped the ball forward. Finally the Village defence cracked as one of the defenders could only head the ball up and behind him. Substitute Josh Hannaford pounced and found the net with a good strike and in the process was taken out by the Village keeper. 1-1. It was a small price to pay as the equaliser pushed Rangers on in search of all three points and more high balls were played into the Village area, but none of them paid off and both sides had to settle for a share of the spoils. Final score 1-1.

29/08/09 Kingsbridge & Kellaton 4 - 1 Buckfastleigh Rangers res
Rangers' young side continued to learn valuable lessons as the lost 4-1 at Kinsbridge and Kellaton.
Manager Martyn Potter was delighted with his teams work rate and attitude and is confident that his inexperienced side will only get better as the season goes on, but they must learn to take their chances when presented to them and cut out the little mistakes that are costing them goals.
Rangers goalscorer was stand-in striker Gareth Burton from the penalty spot.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05/09/09 Buckfastleigh Rangers res 1 - 3 Paignton Villa res
Uncharacteristic mistakes from Rangers led to their first home defeat and left them with only one point from a possible nine.
Villa scored their first only a few minutes into the game after Rangers’ keeper Gareth Burton misjudged a left wing cross and Villa’s Callaghan was left with a tap in from a yard into an empty net.
Rangers pushed on and created a few decent chances; with the likes of Chris Bailey who beat the offside trap from a free kick and headed narrowly over from ten yards. Also Ricky Clanford failed to connect with a Martin Potter cross and Rangers were unlucky to still be trailing. Burton then atoned for his earlier error and tipped over a superb strike from the edge of the box.
Both sides had a few more half chances but could not increase the overall goal count. Rangers had been the better side, but still went in trailing.
Buckfastleigh came out all guns blazing in the second half and were level within a minute. A sweeping passing move involving Declan Cowley, Bailey and Josh Hannaford finished with the latter being slipped through the Villa defence by Bailey and Hannaford finished calmly, 1-1.
This sparked a bombardment of the Villa defence and Rangers could have taken the lead only a couple of minutes later when Potter cut in from the left and hit a shot that struck the keepers near post with him beaten. Hannaford tried following up the shot off the woodwork, but could not quite reach it. If luck was on their side and Potter’s shot had of gone in you feel Rangers would have won convincingly with the way they were playing. Rangers continued to pressurise the Villa defence and forced a succession of corners in a small space of time, but still could not find that leading goal. Then against the run of play completely, Villa retook the lead only ten minutes after Rangers’ equaliser. Rangers conceded a free kick forty yards from their goal on the left. The ball was floated in and ricocheted around in the area as Rangers failed to clear their lines. It eventually dropped to Callaghan who had another simple finish from six yards. The goal stood despite protests of a foul on Matt Grute in the build up. 2-1.
Only a short time later Rangers went 3-1 down when Welbourne scored a free kick from thirty yards that dipped just under Burton’s crossbar.
Rangers’ heads had dropped by this time after being by far the better side and still trailing 3-1. Despite defending solidly for the rest of the game Rangers could not score and sent on Daniel Leaver, Danny Beer and Josh Lewis for Hannaford, Bailey and Clanford respectively. The game fizzled out after that and both sides could not add to their goal tally and it finished 3-1 with Rangers disappointed not to take something from the game.
