FOR Holsworthy first team 2009 went out against Liverton, a game in which everything which needed to be said has already been said. Let us hope that 2010 is a renaissance in both performance and attitude, players do not go out intending to play badly or with a "couldn't care less" attitude nor do supporters expect every game to be a doddle, writes Alistair Clements.

The midweek re-arranged cup tie against Devon and Exeter League leaders North Tawton was probably the first time many of their players had performed under lights, possibly even on a properly enclosed ground so they would have been, as they say, up for it.Underdogs have a nasty habit of toppling favourites in cup ties. Holsworthy have to play well to create confidence for the critical upcoming Saltash game.

Needless to say, after most of this report had been written and just by way of a change, the weather closed in again and rendered the pitch unplayable. so we will have to try again. This must be the fifth or sixth game lost so far both home and away and their is going to be a backlog come spring-time hopefully the conditions will have improved by then.
