As soon as the theft was discovered after the Winscombe 2nd team’s match against Old Culverhaysians of Bath, players quickly cancelled cards with their banks before they could be used and arranged lifts where car keys had been stolen.
There was good news for the Winscombe 2nd home team though, they beat the visitors 17-5 in the Somerset 2 North league match.

Fortunately, none of Winscombe FC were victims during their own match, apart from the match referee whose locker was raided.
The changing rooms are secured with keypads and the codes were quickly changed soon after the crime. The changing rooms were burgled a few years ago but on that occasion the suspect was caught.
