Kingsteignton

[hector]

Apparently, Torquay are playing Kingsteignton on Wednesday, although nothing obvious is on the website. Not sure if it is youth team, reserves or first team or mixture.

[dazgull]

[oxgull]

Ahh, my hometown. CMON U RAMS/YELLOWS I was never confused Do they now play at Sandygate or Broad Park? It's been over 30 years since I last played/went to a game.

Hi Oxgull. The rams still play at Broadpark. There is now a bunch of egg chasers which use the playing field at Five Lanes by the swimming pool.
Sore point as it will always be a village to me !!

[oxgull]

Hi Dutch and thanks for letting me know. I used to play for Kingsteignton YC up there at 5 lanes before the swimming pool was built. That would have been 1973 to 75. Then signed on for the Rams down at Broad Park but never got a game and went to Chudleigh Athletic for the 1975/6 season. Then went off and took the queens shilling and went around the world in a green suit for 23 years.

Kingsteignton 0-4 Gulls.

A hattrick from a lad called Danny Sullivan. Also saw an appearance from an under-15 from Cyprus, as some of you mentioned. Perhaps Y4L could give us his thoughts seeing as he reffed the match.

Not a bad turn out considering this was a training game, kingsteignton had 33 players to choose from- a lot of these were on trial for them and we played 6 15 minute sessions. Each team of the 33 (11x3) played 30 minutes for kingsteignton.

During the first 30, Torquay had full control of the game with a comfortable 2-0 lead with a third of the game gone. The second 30 minutes appeared a much harder prospect for the young gulls and kingsteignton; to their credit, pushed them deeper (Less running for me!) That finished 1-0 with a great header from Sullivan.

The third game started with a much more equal game, the Torquay left back- from Cyprus struggled against a pacey winger for Kingsteignton. Torquay did finally score with a simple tap in.

It was not clear who the Cyprus 15 year old was as they have recently drafted in 9 new youth team players this season. If it was who I think it was then I believe the lad upfront had a quiet game and I often found him in the offside position although the ball never came to him during this.
