Barnstaple Town Veterans
Barnstaple Town Vets have been going for 15 years! We entered the National Umbro Trophy in 1999 and played every season until 2010 when we joined the newly formed Devon County Veterans League. This season, we rejoined the Umbro competition in the over 50's section.
After a few semi-finals appearances, we eventually reached the final of the Umbro competition in 2006 and again in 2008. In fact, we fied in being "underage" so the team was stripped of the cup.
We then played a second final against the other losing semi finalists, Harogate at Port Vale F. C. but unfortunately we lost again! Despite losing all three matches, they were great experiences for us aging players.
