Clevedon Town give debut to Matt Townley - Southern League previews

Friday, October 09, 2009, 07:00

In the Zamaretto Southern League Premier Division, Clevedon Town take on Banbury United.

Manager Nick Tucker gives a debut to utility player Matt Townley, who has joined on a month's loan from Weymouth, with a view to a permanent deal.

"I tried to get Matt in the summer but he went to Weymouth," said Tucker. "Full-back is probably his best position, but he can cover several positions."

Alex West has also returned to the club, from Yeovil, and goalkeeper Alex Hards has signed as cover for Danny Greaves, but Gary Coombs has joined Bridgend Town on loan to get match fitness.

Yate Town manager Dave Mogg will be looking for signs of his side's improvement when they take on Gosport, who are two places above them in the South & West Division.

"The only teams who have beat us this season are above us, so that's the next step for us," said Mogg.

Sam Duggan and Zane Simpson both return to the squad, but Mark Reynolds (knee) and Adam White (dead leg) will have fitness tests.




Clevedon
Clevedon was mentioned in the Domesday Book as being a holding of a tenant in chief by the name of Mathew of Mortaigne and was listed at that time as having eight villagers and ten smallholders.
During the Victorian era Clevedon became a popular seaside town. The Victorian craze for bathing in the sea was catered for in the late 19th century by saltwater baths adjacent to Clevedon Pier (the foundations can still be seen), and bathing machines on the main beach.
At the dawn of the twentieth century Clevedon was still a popular resort and the Curzon cinema was built, which is the oldest purpose-built, continuously operated cinema in the world.
