Exeter and Plymouth Gazette: Tuesday 19th March 1895

I have on several occasions, from the starting of the Axminster Football Club up to the present, given particulars of the Club’s doings. Although the Club is only a young one, it has met with fair success, it having excellent officers. I am now sorry to chronicle that the esteemed captain of the team is severing his connection with the town. It was thought by the members generally that they should give some proof of the respect in which he is held. Consequently, a meeting was held recently at the headquarters of the Club when a large number of members and friends were present. A gift was then made to the captain. It consisted of a handsome oak liquor stand, inlaid with silver, and a plate bearing the inscription “Present to J. Douglas Pinsent, Captain of the Axminster Football Club, by a few of his football friends on his leaving Axminster: March 1895.” Mr. Pinsent suitably returned thanks: A smoking concert followed.
