THE Tim Roche Memorial Cup for the best overall contribution or achievement by a Crediton Youth FC age group or side was recently presented.

Winning the award for their outstanding contribution and performances during last season were the Under 8’s, now this year’s U9’s.

During the challenging Covid-19 interrupted season they allowed the existing and new U7 players to train with them until a new coaching team was in place for them to stand alone.

Their coaches also kept the players engaged and motivated during the lockdowns with challenges and tasks.

Once out of lockdown they arranged two very successful mini tournaments, the Crediboo and Kirton cups, to make up for the lost game time.

Behind the scenes they have been supported by a superb group of parents headed by Karen Beetlestone, who have fundraised to support the sides.
