A 10-man Ivybridge Under 14's side, depleted by the bout of flu that is doing the rounds at the moment, suffered another heavy defeat this morning, going down 18-0 to Morley Rangers. Following the game, Club Secretary, Paul Cocks, wanted to make a statement regarding the team's future.

"To start, lets be clear that the Under 14's will not be folding, nor will they give up without a fight.

I was at the Under 14's game this morning and witnessed for myself the great sense of team spirit that the lads have. They have had a very difficult season and it's far from over. Each and every week the team will face a huge challenge in the top league, playing teams of a very high calibre. That said, we will continue to field a team every week and the boys that don the Ivybridge shirt will work their socks off, as they have done every game so far this season, and will continue to enjoy their football.

The situation is very unfortunate and is one which leaves a very bitter taste in the mouth. The Club had to ask former Manager, Kevin Light, to leave at the end of last season and a Parents meeting was called to discuss the future of the team. The support was excellent, with only 2 players close to Kevin leaving, the rest wishing to stay and committing to stay loyal to Ivybridge Town. Everyone looked forward the season ahead. However, within a matter of weeks we sadly realised that the committments of many were hollow and the words of loyalty futile. An exodus of players was to follow.

It has been a difficult few months but we now have 12 lads who want to play for Ivybridge Town, a handful of which are from last year's Under 13's and have remained loyal to the cause. Despite the results so far, and the heavy defeats which the team can expect in the coming months, the boys are enjoying their football. The team spirit is excellent, something which every opposing team Manager has commented on. They boys leave the pitch smiling at the end of every game, which is a great testiment to them. They should be very proud.

On behalf of the Club, I would like to thank the players and parents of the Under 14's for their continued support, especially those that have remained loyal. All too often loyalty to a Club wanes in Adult football and it is deeply saddening to see this creeping into Junior football as children, more often than not driven by their parents desires, move to clubs were winning is everything. The biggest vote of thanks must go to Paul Hayes. Had it not been for Paul and his unrelenting enthusiasm, the team may not be in existence today. We cannot thank Paul enough for the committment that he has shown to the team and continue to be amazed by his positive attitude. We would also like to extend our thanks to Chris and Graham for their help with the team.

We will continue to battle on through this season and will re-group and strengthen in the close season in preparation for a more manageable season in the middle league. This team was the first Junior team ever set-up at Ivybridge Town and we are not going to give that up easily."

Ivybridge Town Football Club will be holding a 5 day football school and Breakfast club during the forthcoming summer holiday. This will take place from Monday 30th July–Friday 3rd August. The times will be from 0900-1000 for the breakfast club immediately followed by the football school from 1000 -1500 which will include lunch and refreshments.

The sessions will be run by Football Association Qualified Coaches and will consist of activities and Skills for all ages and abilities.

Places are limited and need to be booked in Advance by completing the booking form attached below.

The cost is £52.50 for all five days or £11.00 for single days. Breakfast Club will cost £3.00 daily.

Priority if over subscribed will be given to 5 day students.

We are also planning to visit the home of Arsenal Football Club, the Emirates Stadium, on Thursday 2nd August and the cost will be £28.00. Further Info can be obtained from Paul on 07967 736952.

Following on from Monday's announcement that the Club will be running an Under 15's team in the DJM next season, we are pleased to confirm that we will also be starting an Under 18's team as well. The final arrangements were made this morning at a meeting, and the entry into the DJM League for 2007/08 has now been submitted.

The team will be coached and managed by Mike Crook, a very well respected and talented local Coach who has had prior success at this level and is currently coaching at Plymouth Argyle. We are delighted to have Mike onboard and are very much looking forward to working alongside him for many seasons to come. Mike was around at the very beginning of the Junior setup at Ivybridge in June 2004 when he was brought in to run the first few coaching sessions as part of a Devon FA Coaching Inititiative, back then, it was just Mike and 8 kids. Less than 3 years on we welcome Mike back as a Team Manager at a Club which now has over 180 youngsters playing in 11 Junior teams.

As with any new team, we are looking to recruit players. If you are interested, please contact Mike on 07840 547497.

The Junior section of Ivybridge Town continues to go from strength to strength and we are delighted to announce the setup of an Under 15's team for the 2007/08 season. The team will be managed by Steve Spencer who is an experienced Youth Coach and we really looking forward to getting the team up and running and players on board.

Club Secretary, Paul Cocks, confirmed that the team was going to be started after a committe meeting last week, at which Steve Spence was appointed. "We are very pleased to announce an Under 15's age group for the 2007/08 season and are delighted with the appointment of Steve Spencer who will be running the team. Steve is a high calibre level 2 coach with previous experience of running a team in the DJM league. He enthusiasm is welcomed and we are looking forward to working alongside him to bring the club more success."

As with any new team, we are looking to recruit players. If you are interested, please contact Steve on 01752 690695.

Less than a fortnight after Ivybridge Town Juniors received £500 sponsorship from Barclays Bank to contribute towards the cost of the trophies at this years end of season presentation evening, they have donated another £500 taking their total donation to a staggering £1,000. This extra £500 will be used to contribute towards the cost of hiring the marquee that will be used for the event.

Once again, we would like to thank Mark Hunter who has secured this additional £500 on behalf of the Club. Our thanks of course also goes to Barclays Bank who have shown superb support for both the Club and the local community with this generous donation.

We are delighted to announce that Barclays Bank have generously donated £500 towards the cost of the trophies at this years Junior End of Season presentation evening. Barclays Bank are a terrific supporter of the game, providing support at the highest standard in the Premiership and at the grass roots level of the sport. This donation will prove to be a massive financial help to Ivybridge Town Football Club and will allow us provide every player with a decent trophy in recognition of their achievements throughout the season.

The donation would not have been granted without the help of Mark Hunter. Ivybridge Club Secretary, Paul Cocks, wanted to thank Mark on behalf of everyone at the Club. "It was Mark's suggestion to approach Barclays for a donation and he helped it come to fruition, assisting at every step of the long winded process. It's a great boost for the Club to receive this donation and it will be put to good use. On behalf of everyone involved with Ivybridge Juniors, I would like to thank both Mark and Barclays for their help and support."

Following on from the very successful day out to Plymouth Argyle v Derby County, Nigel has arranged a similar trip but instead of football this time it will be to watch the basketball, Plymouth Raiders v Guildford on Saturday 13th January.

This is going to be a very popular game as both teams are doing extremely well this season. For anyone that has not been to see basketball at the pavilions I can assure them it is fast, furious, noisy, exciting and a great day out. The price will be no more than £17.50 and that will include the following;

Transport, Golf Lesson at Plymouth Driving Range (including equipment), a light meal and entry into Plymouth Raiders.

Numbers will be limited and I would imagine it will be very popular with those that went last time but to be fair to everyone I think it should be on a first come basis. The final timings will be confirmed nearer the time but will look something like:

1430hrs - Depart Erme Valley
1500hrs – Arrive at Plymouth Driving Range
1600hrs – Depart Plymouth Driving Range
1630hrs – Light Meal
1730hrs – Depart for Plymouth Pavilions (Basketball)
1930hrs - Basketball tip off
2115hrs – Depart Plymouth Pavilions
2145hrs - Arrive Erme Valley

Adults can catered for.

Anyone interested please contact Nigel Cross on 07780711894 or 01752 559606 or email nigelcross1@blueyonder.co.uk

We have just had confirmation that Ivybridge Town Junior Football Club has achieved the Charter Standard Development Club Award from the Football Association, and joins a list of just 11 other Clubs across the whole of Devon to achieve this award. This is a fantastic achievement for everyone involved with the Junior section of the Club, especially since the Club has only been going for just over 2 years. This is the best evidence that we are doing all of the right things and setting very high standards througout, both on and off the pitch.

The Charter Standard Scheme is the best practice guide that sets standards of coaching, administration and child protection for clubs working with young people. It is the Football Association's benchmark for quality.

In achieving this award, Ivybridge Town Junior Football Club has clearly demonstrated it's determination to set high standards and has created a Club which offers Children the opportunity to play and learn the game in a safe and structured environment. This is just one of a number of steps that has been taken by the Club during it's short existence to get the name of Ivybridge Town on the map and to build a strong and positive reputation for itself.

Congratulations to everyone involved with Ivybridge Town JFC and thank you for your continued support.

On Sunday 15th October, Plymouth Argyle are running a special promotion for their game against Derby County whereby there will be an Olympic-style parade of DJM teams to be staged before kick-off. Plymouth Argyle are hoping that this will attract the attention of Sky TV cameras.
