Tinpottery at it's best.

Jusy back from my annual two week sujourn to Devon, had a lovely time thanks for asking!

Anyway, managed to fit some nice Tinpot games in at Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, Cullompton and the delightfully named Beer Albion!

Also I played cricket for a Holidaymakers XI against Budleigh and took 3-28 from six overs with my leg spin (out for 3 when batting though).

What are Exmouth doing now? We played them away in the FA Cup a couple of years back, was a cracking day out, but then last season I think they folded, or at least withdrew from the Western League midway through.

They are playing in the Devon and Exeter league Premier Division.

It's a shame for them, they have a great ground and some superb people running the club, just no financial backing at all.

Real ale from the Otter brewery in the clubhouse as well! As with a lot of clubs at this level, the only real money they make is from the car boot sale on Sundays.

They drew 2-2 with Hatherleigh Town by the way!

Was a friendly club when we went, bar seemed very well run even with the added hassle of us doubling their normal crowd. Quite a few of us were saddened to hear of their plight last season.
