Nick Pope Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Elburton Villa v Nanpean Rovers OFF Thank you to Lyn from Nanpean who has kept in touch this week. Unfortunately fallen at last hurdle. We wish the best to Nanpean Rovers and hope they can re-group asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish leg end Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 A real shame for the club. Was there a rule change this year for not fulfilling a fixture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St John Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 2 no-shows in the first 2 weeks of the season. Is this really "Senior Football"? For God's sake, cut adrift the dead wood and look to reorganize the structure of the league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish leg end Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Have you looked at the table bude didnt pull out of a fixture they had it rearranged. So only 1 no show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornish leg end Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Another 15 goal score line this week st blazey 21 goals and none score in the last 2 games. Not looking good there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedgerow Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Nothing to do with the league, it's down to the clubs to be prepared to do the travelling. When they join the league they know what is involved. One prime example st columb major duchy 2 travel to stoke Climsland which is a 90 mile round. Don't hear clubs moaning from the duchy league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si225 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 St blazey really are going down the pan. No surprise to me at the result today. After watching them against town in the week I knew it could be a cricket score today. If it wasn't for the wet conditions on Wednesday night it could of been 15-0 also. What is going on at the club. Morgan's prediction of winning the league seems very unlikely after another defeat for the first team today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornishfootball Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Pensilva 0-8 Torpoint (hicks 4, waters 3 and other 1) One sided game and suprising considering pensilvas pre season, have heard they lost some players to Liskeard but not sure how true that is. Torpoint had 4 pens in the game with Hicks netting 3 of them and Waters the other, could have had 5 or 6 pens the defence was a tad clumsy. Hicks hit the bar with a shot from 40 plus yards in the 1st half and again with an angled volley in the 2nd half. The Pensilva keeper made a couple of good saves from spills and the scoreline would have been double figures if they had gone in. Was expecting to watch a closer contest but still enjoyed watching the league champs live up to their reputation. Hopefully off to watch Blazey next and see whats going on there at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St John Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Same old problem and as previously stated by myself a 3pt deduction and a fine would be no deterrent . People need to think beyond the problem. Less teams, increasing the overall quality. Teams that are prepared to turn up and play football. Basics. Amen.

St john i got to totally agree with you you look at div 1 and nanpean and been bottom or 2nd bottom during the last 9 seasons. Doesnt that say something? Bude have pulled out of double figure games the last few years. Both shouldnt be playing senior football. The standard has dropped over the years now. You look at the combo league and it is always competitive every season with very few if not any games called off through teams unable to raise a team. Other than newquays struggles last year. To be hammered 15.0 in any senior game isnt good enough. That shouodnt be happening. But unless all clubs agrer and want change it wont happen. Think of the local teams weve lost or gone uo the last few years. Some big clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jefferson hog Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I would like to add St Blazey yes they did turn up and and we have played worse teams than them in this league think to much is being made of this we had our shooting boots on and they didnt play to well and they did show a bit of class they all came back for a drink after more than can be said for some sides at least there giving a go which i give them great credit for keep going lads all the best from Bere Alston FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff's Telling Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 At the Callington Town v Saltash United game yesterday, 4-1 to Saltash. I think Callington had lost 3 to their first team, Saltash one ( according to their lino) - regardless, very impressed by Saltash, particularly their front two, a very strong pairing. Definitely title contenders on this showing.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offside! Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The match report in the Sunday Independent today says that it was the first game in the league for Lakeside yesterday. The league table suggests that they have now played 2. Can anyone help me with the correct info please, the match report or the league table?

Jamesy7 Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 With regards to the ECPL being two leagues - I can't see how merging the leagues and making teams like (no offence) Nanpean travelling to Torpoint reserves will benefit anyone; then you would be getting 15-0 score-lines on a weekly basis! BUT - I do agree with most on here that firstly, there has to be greater consequences for 'not turning up' AND if you finish bottom/second from bottom (apparently) 9 seasons in a row - regardless of the history or hard work off the pitch - you have to be relegated!

St John Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I think the general idea would be to have one league of 18-20 teams. The lesser mortals being returned to Duchy Football. Therefore, it would be unlikely that Nanpean would ever play Torpoint. All the likes of Nanpean need is a manager with decent player contacts prepared to follow him. Very surprising that this has not happened after all these years considering the pitch and facilities on offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very surprising that this has not happened after all years considering the pitch and facilities on offer. The Problem they have is the amount of clubs around them that all have a couple teams each and players available limited. Foxhole have always been a top east cornwall club they done the right thing and rebuilt and they will bounce back. that's what nanpean should have done.

Spot on Darin, managers don't grow on trees, it's becoming more and more difficult to find suitable candidates, even AFC St.Austell are not finding it easy to replace Chappers & Co.

I understand that there was a meeting yesterday afternoon ( Tuesday ) to maybe fold up the clubs business or just maybe to come with a last minute solution to the clubs predicament. Lets hope for the latter but i fear the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
