After the wettest autumn and early winter that can be remembered, the Grampound pitch was in remarkably good condition for our annual Christmas Challenge Match.  Twenty-six players were divided into two teams who played out the game in an excellent spirit, the Secretary's team running out comfortable 6-2 winners although the game was much closer than that with the winners scoring four times in the last 20 minutes.  Thank you to all those who took part in what was a most enjoyable game.

Thank you to everyone who came last night to play in or watch the memorial game for Roger Paynter between Grampound Veterans and a President's team competing for the new President's Cup, presented to the club by the new president and Roger's son Chris.  An honourable 1-1 draw was the result and so the trophy is shared in its inaugural year.  The considerable sum of £272-00 was raised for the British Heart Foundation, the chosen charity of Roger's family.  It was also good to see a good number of Grampound favourites from years gone by rolling back the years in what was an enjoyable game of football.
