EXETER UNIVERSITY  0   FENITON  6   (Premier Division  - 8/05/13)

Feniton are champions of The Fresha Exeter & District League Premier Division for the first time in their history and deservedly so, following a scintillating display of football that totally overwhelmed a gallant student side. On arrival at the University complex, Fenny were delighted to find a large and near perfect playing surface, one conducive to their ‘total football’ as a wag in the crowd was heard to exclaim! Credit must also go to the University side who, despite being under pressure for the majority of the match, always tried to play neat football when they did manage to gain possession. The first-half mirrored that of Mondays game at Budleigh Salterton with Fenny going into an early lead, given to them by Dave O’Connor whose persistence saw him twice win challenges in the penalty area leaving him an empty net to roll the ball into, then having to wait until the stroke of half-time to add a second. Charlie Selley was the scorer finishing off another fine passing move that typified Fenny throughout the match. HALF-TIME 0-2  Two penalties early in the second half, the first awarded  somewhat fortunately for hand ball, the second for a trip on O’Connor, were both converted by Selley to complete his hat-trick. The hosts youthful exuberance, quite understandably, now began to wilt  as they had to deal with wave after wave of Fenny attacks which often saw them chasing shadows. Kingers rang the changes, giving his substitutes a run out and then, knowing his team had virtually achieved their aim, summoned for the champagne, which he had surreptitiously hidden in the dressing room.  Rob Clark, Fenny’s most recent signing, opened his account for the club when he scored the fifth and sixth goals, the first with a header from a Paul Dowling cross, the second from close range after more lovely approach play.  At the final whistle the celebrations began and there was even a chance to get their hands on the Premier Division trophy which  presented to skipper O’Connor by The Sage of Colestocks. On a final note, it was so good to see a healthy gathering of Fenitonians turn out to lend their support to the team, including a majority of the Reserve Team squad that had won Division Six just two days earlier. Fait accompli.

MOVEMBER RAISES £360

Five members of the first team squad  grew facial hair on their upper lip to raise money which will be split between the Movember charities and club funds. Leading the way was Matt Kingdon with his ‘Keith Lemon’ job who managed to get sponsorship to the tune of £120. Fantastic effort Matt.  John French, who was trying to grow a ‘Merv Hughes’ in time for the 2017 cricket season managed an excellent £90 while Stuart Blackmore raised £70 with a fine specimen that would not have looked out of place on Paris Hilton or Britney Spiers. Mark Kingdon chipped in with £50 and got continually mistaken for Rufus Hound and Andrew Jones contributed £30 after his application to join The Handlebar Club was refused. Well done to you all and many thanks for those who kindly sponsored you.

OTTER WINDOWS SPONSOR FENITON

We are delighted to announce that  John Capon,  Managing Director of Otter Windows, has kindly agreed to sponsor Feniton Football Club. Both the first and reserve teams will wear new kits with the Otter Windows logo and we will also have the use of their mini-bus for away match travel.

A PERFECT 10 SEES RESERVES CROWNED LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

FENITON RESERVES  6   MORCHARD BISHOP RESERVES  0   (Division Six  - 6/05/13)

In most teams season there are defining times which determine their fate whether it be success or failure. For Feniton Reserves their defining moment must have been on April 1st when they trooped off the field having been humbled 5-1 on their own patch by a team sitting some ten places below them in the league table. Their resolve was to roll up their sleeves and  show a determination to make sure there would be no repeat of such a performance. Five weeks, ten games and ten victories later this resolve has been totally vindicated as they sit proudly at the head of the table having been crowned league Champions. On paper, this match looked likely to be a stern test with Morchard  arriving on the back of seven straight victories and vying for a promotion place themselves. In addition, Fenny were without injured striker Danny Lewis who has scored vital goals in each of their last four outings. An early goal - which was also their 100th in the league - soon settled any nerves and they virtually had the title wrapped up at the interval when they led 4-0 before adding two more in the second half for good measure. Star of the show was John French who scored a brilliant hat-trick with Vince Loveridge, Jamie Easterbrook and Jamie Brimblecombe also getting on the scoresheet. Many congratulations boys and very well done, you are worthy Champions.
