Cornishfootball Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 As in was this match always on Friday or has it been moved to Friday? Sure I saw another Torpoint team playing at home the day after but this won't be the case surely with current pitch states etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 As far as I'm aware its been fixtured for a little while at least. The day after I see is Torpoint Athletic Thirds v Lostwithiel in the Duchy League. Just have to see how the weather goes I guess. I would imagine Torpoint would be keen for the Friday night game to go ahead as scheduled as a bit of crowd puller with local derby aspect and Parkway going great guns! Actually I assume the Saturday game is no longer happening as Lostwithiel have Junior Cup commitment with yesterday's match for them being postponed.

Dave Deacon Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 As I made the trip up to watch Torpoint 0-7 Plymouth Parkway, I might as well give you my thoughts on the match ........ It proved a good evening all round for the champions-elect Plymouth Parkway as while they were ending up 7-0 winners at Torpoint, two of their title rivals, Bodmin Town and Plymouth Argyle, were having to settle for a 2-2 draw against each other. Of course, understandably the Parkway faithful would vehemently argue it is far too early to declare themselves as champions, but barring an absolute disastrous final third to the season, come on - can anyone really see them being caught? Parkway have now played 22, winning every single game apart from one, are two goals short of reaching 100 while tonight was their 11th clean sheet and surely that means they are on their way up the non-league pyramid ladder come May time. The league’s top scorer Glynn Hobbs helped himself to another two goals with the opening one of the night being an easy tap in on 15 minutes, while his second arrived five minutes after half-time from the penalty spot. In between those two, Jordan Trott saw his shot go through a busy penalty area to not only finish up in the far corner of the Torpoint net, but probably also finish any hopes the home side had of springing any sort of surprise for their biggest gate of the season. The 271 was double the crowd normally seen at The Mill this season and so at least Torpoint would have locked up tonight with at least a small smile on their faces. Mike Smith made it 4-0 when he came in from the right to finish off an individual effort by gently chipping over the advancing keeper Rich Bond. Torpoint’s number one tonight usually plays for the 3rd team in the Duchy League, but because of the normal 1st choice Jason Peters having flu and Reserve goally Rob Brown being unavailable, Bond was making his debut. Even though he conceded seven (perhaps that should be 007), he still managed to pull off some fine saves, however when you’re playing a front line in form and hungry for goals, they make the most of any loose ball as did Parkway substitute Charlie Johansen twice in the last ten minutes after shots on each occasion from Hobbs were parried out. Probably the best goal of the game was kept until last when Mikey Williams burst through the heart of the Torpoint defence to make it seven. The title chasing pack need a miracle which as we all know in football, does just occasionally happen, after all tonight I witnessed something very rare when Glynn Hobbs missed what looked a second half sitter from close range. Those sort of things just don’t happen very often though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubman Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Nice report, no mention of how the officials handled the game. Lots of people ready to criticize but very little praise when they have had a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted January 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Possibly the fact I didn’t mention them means they did their job - not good enough to heap praise on them, not bad enough to be critical! The fact they didn’t get a mention goes for a lot of the players tonight. There were probably 28 players used, but only a handful got a mention.

El Nino Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Have to feel for the keeper - not sure the 1st or second choice would have kept the score any more respectable. The big yellow machine steams on. Went to see Willand in the Western League (looking for promotion) and not sure any of their players would get into the Parkway side. Really is a great squad Leezo has put together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbie777 Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 If any of the torpoint players are being paid then I wish i was young enough to play now. Clueless springs to mind.

THE BALD ONE Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Well done to Torpoint for getting the game on. Parkway far too strong for the young Torpoint team . I was not expecting to score 7 but well worthy of it. One thing I was not happy with , was my mate Gaz having 2 pasties and breathing on me all game phew !!!!!!!!! ??????? Cmon Parkway.

Whether that is just the photo displaying that or the pitch was really that good. Thanks, the pitch was in good condition on Friday night thanks to efforts of our three groundsman especially after the Senior Cup Match a week before home to Carharrack were it cut up badly, but was soon put back together. Without volunteers we don’t have grass roots football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
