TAVISTOCK THISTLES F.C.

Founded in 1983

Looking to join a local junior football team? Why not give us a try. All teams coached by coaches who have attained an FA Level 1 standard in coaching and have been through the enhanced CRB checking procedure.

About us: Most of the squad have been together since the ages of 11.There have been lads that have left and other have joined but there has been a core group through-out. A new manager / coach took over the team this season and although the team have not been that successful they have made huge improvements all through this season reducing the goals conceded and improving the goals scored averages. Although this season has been tough as a team they have stuck to the tasks and played well at times with little or no luck loosing by the odd goal on more than one occasion. We are always looking to build the team so NEW players of all ability's are welcome to come along if you are interested then please contact Martin or the Committee
