Well that's that particular monkey off of Town's back...an opening day win at last. Only just though...no doubt Tavy will be feeling a touch hard done by.

Turns out that it is right that Ian Hodges is suspended. Apparently he can't play for Town until Hampton & Richmond Borough have played four matches. I reckon that means he wont be available until the game at Saltash Utd on August the 27th.

Aberfaman.have to agree Falmouth got away with this one Tavy were the better team all of the second half, I do not know what it is with Town they seem to go to sleep in the second half & on that performance they will have to improve a lot if they are to chalenge for the top spot.

Hammers :c:

Yeah I thought we were a bit unlucky to be 0-1 down at half-time but the penalty gift just after the break seemed to have a positive effect on Tavistock and they could have scored on several occasions at 1-1. Great strike from Craig Duff to win it though.
