It's been an on-off sort of year for Colyton Football Club.
In March, COVID-19 forced the FA to abandon the 2019-20 amateur season. When the new season got underway in September, the first team was riding high in the Premier East division of the Joma Devon & Exeter League when the most recent lockdown brought a new temporary halt.
The second team was languishing in Division 2 East. Even during lockdown, chairman and secretary Roy Turner (pictured) continued the year-long imperative of cutting the grass at the Peace Memorial Playing Fields which takes him three to four hours a time.
The club currently has 45 players on its books. Its first recorded games were in the Perry Street League in the 1909–1910 season.
The club has played at various venues but settled at the current site at the Peace Memorial Playing Field. some 15 years ago.
Flooding occasionally forces it to share the pitch at the Chantry Field which is used more regularly by Colyton Youth Football Club.
