Chris Vinnicombe hopes to have ironed out a few problems and recharged some batteries this week ahead of Saturday's trip to Camelford. Withy looked in fine fettle last Saturday as they dismantled Falmouth Town 4-1. Mike Vanes did put the visitors in front, but goals from Luke Cole, Jordan Charran, Kyle Basset and Jack Furzer saw the hosts home. Despite the handsome scoreline, Vinnicombe says no game this week has given him some vital preparation time. "It will be good to have a bit of time to work on things, have a rest and get ready for Camelford," he said. "That is going to be a tough game because it is always a tough place to go. "I am glad we have the week off to prepare because there are a couple of injuries that need some recovery time. "We also have a few things we need to work on which we couldn't last week due to the midweek game." Meanwhile, Richard Pears believes Exmouth Town are playing the best football of his tenure at the club. Town, who hosted Stoke Gabriel on Wednesday, travel to divisional new boys Callington Town on Saturday. They picked up a 1-0 win away to Launceston on Saturday thanks to Jordan Hopkinson's goal to make it three wins and two draws since the 4-0 defeat at St Austell on the opening day. "I think the quality of football we are playing is amongst the best I have seen since I arrived here," said Pears. "We have been excellent in the last three games. "We didn't have a great pre-season but I have been organising midweek games all the time so we have played eight or nine times in the last month. "The lads are getting used to playing with each other and the formation I am asking them to use. What's also really pleasing is that I am getting stand-out performances from different players every week."Elmore joint-manager Pete Buckingham admits his youngsters are finding the physicality of the league difficult, but backed them to come good. The Eagles host Elburton Villa on Saturday off the back of a 5-0 home defeat to Torpoint Athletic at the weekend. "The truth is that the sides we are playing at the moment are bigger, stronger and more experienced than we are," said Buckingham. "I had five lads out there on Saturday who were 18 and it is a massive learning curve for them. We have to stick with it and I am sure they will improve. "Our goal this season is to keep us out of the bottom two and stay in the league. Hopefully then the players will be a year older and a year wiser."Cullompton Rangers head to St Blazey on Saturday following their 2-2 draw at home to Launceston on Saturday.
