Veterans William Reed, 90 (right) and Tom Cudmore, 83,

have been Torrington supporters for years and still never miss a match, come rain or shine.

Mr Reed says that Torrington’s best team played soon after the first world war and can remember practically every player who has turned out for Torrington.

His friend Mr Tom Cudmore also never misses a match, come rain, hail or snow.
