The 2007/08 season was by far the most successful in the clubs history with 17 teams being regularly fielded making the club the largest in Devon.Of these, 13 were youth teams for both boys and girls of all abilities with collective membership in excess of 300 players, thus making the club by far the town’s biggest provider of youth services for young people.Our Disability Football Project in conjunction with two local schools has been praised by the F.A. as being exemplary and also being a model for others to follow.All these junior teams rely on an army of unsung heroes by way of coaches and volunteers who take these super young people at least twice a week, giving them a focus and an active life where they learn to work hard, win or lose, and always behave in a sporting manner.
Foreword from Charlie Stephens:Farewell Devon League, Hello the South West Peninsular!!
The 06/07 season saw the T&D SC FC Mens 1st XI say a fond farewell to the Devon League, after a seven year membership, when the old county league joined forces with the South Western League to form a brand new South West Peninsular League to cover the whole of Devon and Cornwall.We will take with us many happy Devon league memories, two Throgmorton Cup wins and a number of top half league finishes. Along the way we’ve made many friends some of whom we will meet again in the new Division 1 East the league where we will begin on Saturday August the 18th.
In the second post-merger season the club’s weekly soccer programme included the following activities:
1st team in the Axworthys Devon League
3 senior men’s teams in the South Devon League
competitive boys soccer at every age group (including U8s for the first time)
a full competitive programme of women’s and girl’s soccer
In 2006 a new partnership with BidwellBrookSpecialSchool, led to a grant from the Devon Football Association to develop a soccer programme for disabled youngsters in the area.
