Danny joined us from Launceston at the beginning of last season, made 20 league appearances scoring 5 goals before being posted to Afghanistan with the services towards the end of the season. He was missed in the run in, his silky skills and turn of pace is enough to worry any defender.

Ian Symons: age 37 - Previous clubs: Plymouth argyle, St Blazey, Plymouth Parkway, Saltash United. Ian had a great season just gone but was undone by some cruel injuries at crucial times. When fit Ian is a match for any player on the park

A former Plymouth Argyle apprentice has good quality on the ball.

Mark Young - defender/midfielder : age 21. Prevous clubs: Carlisle United. Mark played the latter part of the season after work commitments landed him in Devon. A keen attacker of the ball has settled in very well at left back.

Darren Vicary: - age 31 - midfielder. Darren came into the side at the beginning of 2009. A very skillful playmaker. Darren loves nothing better than a few beers after a game to unwind. Is a keen train spotter

He made 33 league appearances scoring 15 goals, he also scored 3 cup goals. If you give him any time or space he will find the target. Just twenty years old there is more to come from Gavin I’m sure.

 

Luke Crowson - age 18 - previous clubs Topsham Town and Tiverton Town - Luke is probably the most promising player on the books. Skilful for one so young. Scored two brilliant goals in the last game of the season against Saltash United.
  Shane Gill - age 22 - Previous clubs: Buckland Athletic, Ottery St Mary, Bromsgrove. Shane had a fantastic season with us recently but moved away with his university life. Back in Devon and back in a Buckland shirt which will get the faithful all waiting for this action packed player.
