why bedworth?

A match for legends in a legendary town......

Or could it be a match for a load of old knackers in an old knackered ground. I walked through the Oval this morning and the pitch is more mud than grass.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Any names confirmed so far?

Not suggesting anything but have been to similar games and you get the kit man, the husband of the tea lady etc etc.

 

[LastGarrison]

Put a reminder up nearer the time and i'm sure you'll get a few over.

Excuse to get a few of the lads away from their missus' for a drink and for a great cause as well.

Unfortunately Nuneaton did not respond and CCFC organising their own events next season to celebrate 25th anniversary. We thought Hinckley too far away and hence plumped for Bedworth. Within easy reach for most and should be a good atmosphere if we can get a few there.

Pitch is being resurfaced over next 8 weeks and this match will be the first pre season game so hoping it will be in good shape.

Unfortunately the kitman and tea lady were both unavailable and so we have had to settle for some other players. These things are always a bit "fluid" but early indications are as follows:

Cov - Regis, Oggy, Busst, Gynn, Bennett, Jorgensen, Whelan, Peake
Spurs - Mabbutt, Galvin, Falco, Thomas, C and P Allen, Howles.

More still awaiting confirmation.

Looking good then, are all these names 100% confirmed?

I can't believe Busst still plays. I bet the other players are scared of tackling him!

In fact I don't know how he does since I had similar and still can't even walk properly

 

[ccfcway]

which side is Mabbutt playing on :claping hands:

Who cares, he'll score for us either way!

He currently acts as defensive cover for Highgate United of the Midland Combination Premier Division where his brother, Paul, is the club's assistant manager
