AFTER an absence of more than 12 years from competitive football, Lamerton Football Club has reformed and will be playing this season in division 4 of the Duchy League.

Local players from Lamerton, Chillaton and Tavistock started casual training at the end of last season and continued throughout the summer with an average of 15 players attending each session.

The club now has a fully committed squad and pre-season training has started in earnest.

Thanks were expressed to Peter Alford, Kevin Jones and Jimmer Cole for their dedication and hard work over the summer months and to the many local sponsors who include the Blacksmiths Arms, Carrs Garage, John Lethbridge (decd), Pete and Val Statton, Mike and Linda Glover and Chillaton Garage.

Any new players interested in playing for Lamerton please telephone Steve Lethbridge on either 01837 54697 / 07767 788241 or come to one of the training sessions, which are held every Tuesday at 7pm on the football pitch behind the Blacksmiths Arms in Lamerton.
