BEDFORD TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB Its been a busy month at The Eyrie as The Eagles started their preseason campaign while welcoming one of their best-known players back to the club. Rene Howe started his Bedford Town career as a young child, which progressed to first team football, and then onto the English Football League, via Kettering Town for clubs including Peterborough United. Now as a 33-year-old he has returned to the club where it all started. Eagles owner Jon Taylor said of Howes return “Rene is a Bedford lad, and I’m delighted he has chosen us to come back and play for once more.” On the pitch preseason matches, are underway. First up was the visit of Potton United who emerged as narrow winners against Bedford’s experimental side. Next came near neighbours Bedford FC and a trip to March Town United where the Eagles won the day. Peterborough Sports visit to the Eyrie has proved the trickier, with them winning 3-1. Limited
