<strong>Lynton</strong> & <strong>Lynmouth</strong> AFC Reunion<br />
<strong>Lynton</strong> & <strong>Lynmouth</strong> AFC recently held a reunion for players at Rock House, <strong>Lynmouth</strong>.<br />
The evening was attended by 95 past <strong>and</strong> present players, supporters <strong>and</strong> officials.<br />
The youngest to attend was 23 year old Ryan Leaworthy who currently plays for<br />
<strong>Lynton</strong> <strong>and</strong> the oldest was Roy Pugsley, 88, who started playing in 1948.<br />
Memories flowed of League Championship winning seasons as well as Holman Cup,<br />
Combe Martin Cup, Braunton Cup <strong>and</strong> Arlington Cup wins. A football was donated by<br />
Neil Shires <strong>and</strong> signed by all players in attendance <strong>and</strong> will be displayed in the new<br />
clubhouse once complete. There were old team shirts on display, photos dating back<br />
to the 1900’s <strong>and</strong> an amazing raffle organised by Tracey Robinson <strong>and</strong> Sally Woodley.<br />
The event raised a staggering £693.14 for club funds <strong>and</strong> special thanks go to Claire<br />
<strong>and</strong> Tony Vickery of Rock House <strong>Lynmouth</strong> <strong>and</strong> their staff, for accommodating the<br />
event <strong>and</strong> laying on such a fantastic spread.<br />
We hope to organise another event in the not too distant future so please follow<br />
<strong>Lynton</strong> & <strong>Lynmouth</strong> FC on Facebook for more information. In the meantime if anyone<br />
has any old photographs, newspaper clippings or even an old team shirt lurking in a<br />
cupboard that they would like to donate then please contact Steve Hobbs via the<br />
<strong>Lynton</strong> & <strong>Lynmouth</strong> FC Facebook page.<br />
