Playing on both full size and mini soccer pitches within the boundaries of Bovey Tracey, the town itself should be very proud of the progress the local football club.

In recent years the club has achieved Charter Standard Status and more than doubled in size increasing  from, 2 senior teams in the South Devon League and  a couple of  youth teams in the Pioneer Youth League, to 3 senior teams and 8 juniors teams.

The First team participate in the Premier Division of the South Western Peninsula League which covers and area from Witheridge and Cullompton to the North and Penzance and Falmouth to the South. The travelling requires a lot of organization.

The Second team play in Division 3 of the SDL.  They are currently showing a 100% record and striving for promotion this season.

The Third team are used as a nursery team to introduce our under 16’s to senior football. We are proud to include 2 members of last years U-16 team in our First Team squad.

The Junior teams range from under 8’s to under 16’s and due to the success of our youth policy we are grateful to Stover school who accommodate us for training on Saturday mornings,  it is  quite a sight to see 100 children of various ages all playing football and keeping fit!

To keep the club running takes a huge amount of work and the few involved do a tremendous job, but we are always looking for volunteers to help with all aspects of the club. We would welcome the people of Bovey Tracey to help us out and become part of the background team running both, the football side, with our own Western Counties Roofing ground, including floodlights and stands, and a superb, well run club house at the Recreation Ground which holds regular fundraising events for a realistic membership cost.

We publicise fixtures and events and will warmly welcome supporters and new members to the club, along with the search for a volunteer fundraisers and commercial manager(s) to help us provide the best facilities possible for the future.
