This result lifts them into 3rd place in division 2.

Delabole Utd AFC got their pre-season campaign off with a draw against local rivals Boscastle Reserves.  It was a blustery rain fuelled evening for the first game of a very different season for all.   Young Nathan Smith came off the bench in the second half to score a hat-trick in his first ever game for The Slaters.

Delabole Utd AFC will be playing in Division 2 this year as the league has been reshuffled and the old Division 3 has been removed so there will only be The Premier, First and Second divisions as of this year.  As of the moment there will be no cup competitions to be played this season but this is under constant review and could change.
 
This is the guidance for spectators at the game:
