Get up 🐎💚🤍

Pre Season done for another season! 🐎💚🤍

That is pre season wrapped up for both sides and what a great success it has been! The first took on some really good sides who challenged them and gave the kind of tests that were needed going into the top division, after back to back title wins, some fresh faces and extra quality added should give us what we need to compete against the best in the district🏃

For the reserves, what a great start to life, Ben and Spencer have worked tirelessly to bring a whole new squad in, and both sides having full squads for most of there friendlies has been a great achievement, The reserves have had to face some tough test with teams pulling out, and being replaced with teams 2/3 divisions above them but have competed and worked there socks off for the manager and it has really proven to us as a club why he made this team, to bring lads together, to have a place to play football, have fun and ultimately enjoy playing together!

We finish off with our in house Racehorse Cup sponsored by JP Drainage Surveyors, game on Saturday, Wilson Vs Izzard for the battle for the trophy & then both sides in action on September 5th! More news on squads ect to follow later next week, but as always, Thankyou to all the boys, management and support from everyone, it makes this all worthwhile and roll on the new season!

🆚 Huish U18's

Let’s go, Racehorse! 🐎💚

Racehorse Rovers, like all other member clubs, were asked to vote on a proposal to allow a newly formed side to enter straight into the Premier Division of the Taunton District League. This club had already been granted permission to enter two sides into the district, with one entering directly into Division 1. A decision that many clubs, including ourselves, had already questioned.

While we completely understand the challenges faced by the League Committee following the unfortunate withdrawal of several well-established clubs, Racehorse Rovers were firmly against this proposal and are extremely disappointed with the outcome.

When we, and many other long-standing clubs, entered the league, we requested the opportunity to enter either Division 1 or the Premier Division. We were denied, with the reasons given being that doing so could undermine the integrity and structure of the competition. We understood and respected that decision.

That is why we find the latest outcome particularly difficult to accept.

It is unfair on the clubs who have spent years building their teams, progressing through the divisions and earning their place within the league. Those clubs have had to work their way up through the system, season after season, with promotion being the reward for their performances on the pitch.

Racehorse Rovers have spent the last two seasons doing exactly that, building a club, competing, earning promotion and ultimately winning Division 1. To see a newly formed side given direct access to the Premier Division, without having to earn that position through competition, feels completely at odds with the principles that have previously been applied to existing member clubs.

Club stature, facilities, resources or perceived potential should not determine where a team starts. The same rules and opportunities should apply to every club, whether newly formed or long established.

We fully appreciate the difficult circumstances currently facing the league, but we also believe it is important to recognise and respect the commitment of the clubs who have served the Taunton District League for many years.

For us, this is about fairness, consistency and the integrity of the competition, and ensuring that clubs who have worked hard to earn their place are not disadvantaged as a result.

Racehorse Rovers 1-1 Shepton Beauchamp

The newly formed reserves continued there pre season as they took on what was arguably there greatest test as they faced Yeovil & District Premier League side Shepton Beauchamp away from home!

Ben set the lads out with the game plan to make themselves hard to beat and hold their own against a side of this level, and didn’t they just! A solid first 45 minutes which seen Shepton very limited in there chances, the instructions at half time was to carry on just as they were but to maybe take some risks and see if they could put some pressure on the back line, the second half was very much the same, both sides canceling eachother out… until a bizarre free kick was award for Shepton which in fairness was scored brilliantly from 25 yard, and with 20 minutes left this kicked the horse into gear to have a go and throw the kitchen sink and them… knocking on the door several times but not managing to beat the keeper and with seconds left, the ball was worked brilliantly out to the right hand side for our Zappi to cut inside like a young Robben and put in a great cross come shot which beat everyone including the keeper!!!

This result and performance really shown why and what making this side was for, proper Racehorse! Next up is Old Inn Vents which will be another tough test but one we are looking forward to! 🐎🤍💚
