  1. Today
  2. I remember that Kev. Crazy schedule but you fellas were brilliant! 👏
  3. Man of the match for me for Newquay had a brilliant game LOUIS PRICE
  4. Great to see Ken there watching his beloved St Dominic. One of the real gentlemen of local football
  5. Well-done AFC St Austell. To the Management team building a fantastic team with youth and some quality experience players to win the league. A big thank you to both Robs and Jason at the helm for all the hard work and time spent at this fantastic club. I have seen all home and away games this season and it was fully deserved. Some games didn't go to plan but these players never dropped their heads and played fantastic all season. Next step will be hard, but a great adventure in a new league can't wait for it to start.
  6. Well done St Austell - a great run in the second half of the season! Are Liskeard bottlejobs or are they perhaps not as strong as many people make out?
  7. A few of the St Austell players must be building up a nice stack of SWPL winners medals by now. I wonder if any of them will test themselves at the higher level this time.
  8. Launceston 3-1 Dobwalls Truro City Reserves 0-2 Wadebridge Town (at Wadebridge)
  9. I think the points lost to Newquay at home 2/1 and going down to 10 men did not help, although with 11 still unable to beat them at Mountwise 1/1 - take nothing away from Liskeard they have played the best football for most in the league despite not winning it.
  10. Given the recent history of mild antagonism between Parkway and Winchester, be ironic if they could do them a big favour by winning at Swindon Supermarine. Parkway aren't good enough defensively to play for the draw, they need to get on the front foot and go for the win. Not something they have made a habit of though away from home, with only 3 from the 24 games played in all competitions this season.
  11. A draw would be good enough but if they go a few behind then it really will be touch and go. I think the team around them are playing teams that don’t really have anything to play for , beaconsfield still need to win I think Lee touched on it in his interview hinting he hopes the other mangers are true to the league and play their strongest teams
  12. Yes but if Liskeard didn't have any red cards that may of been just enough to have given them the edge to win the league. Doesn't matter now anyway, all done and dusted.
  13. What aspect of Player Safety are we talking about here? Playing on a mud bath can affect players safety through tackles. Playing multiple games in a week can affect players safety with fatigue. At this level of football there wouldn’t be any of that. Looking some of the highlights from Piran Films of Helston games, there are players that play in that league that are far from athletes due to their own dietary or personal circumstance
  14. Just a small point , you have to take into account the players insurance expiry date . I think that in the small print there is a start and finish date .
  15. Don’t actually know why choppy is getting resistance to his comments. He hasn’t suggested those within the leagues are doing nothing. But the fact remains that its mad games get called off with player safety in mind, then the same players are asked to play 4 times in 7 days for 2/3 weeks in a row. it’s utterly outrageous and contradictory.
  16. Transistor radios will be glued to the ears of Parkway supporters on Saturday eager for news of developments at Swindon and Bracknell. Very much in their own hands now though.
  17. Survival for Parkway would make taking the job on from Hobbs even more attractive for the likes of Cusack and Henderson. Alternatively, it could be said that Hobbs deserves another crack, having negotiated the club through a difficult season with injuries, and problems with the pitch hampering progress.
  18. Torpoint Athletic 5 - 4 Launceston Torpoint goal scorers: Easterbrook x2, Westall, Ross, Copp. A whirlwind game in which we can be thankful we were better going forward than we were at defending. With Saltash dropping points at home vs Gunnislake the hindsight is even better. Not sure where Dwyane has been of late. Playing against the league's lowest scorers and worst defence you'd think it would be a doddle, but Launceston were 2-0 up within 9mins, great! We actually started brightly and moved the ball well, but a long ball straight down our throat was raced onto by Harrison who finished. 5mins after that Harrison again broke through a few tackles with us dangling a few spaghetti legs in "attempts" to win the ball and he curled a beauty into the top right corner from 20yds. With the recent memory of turning over a deficit on Saturday we weren't too rattled and a beautiful move from defence into Taylor, who spread the ball out to the right hand side for Cam Ross who delivered a delicious cross to the back stick for Easterbrook to tap home. No appeal of offside as Ryan had clearly ghosted in behind the full back but the lino disagreed. The ref said he knew it was onside but had let play be restarted too quickly? A bit poor really. But we weren't deterred and did get the first one back quickly. Another cross from the right hand side, again from Ross, was glanced towards goal by ManuelJ, and with Westall moving in on goal himself guided it home. The equaliser took another 20mins but it was certainly inevitable. With Launceston having something to hold onto, their defenders put their bodies on the line and 3-4 times had goal bound shots blocked when we were well placed, Payny in particular denied a nice team goal when running onto a square ball from Easterbrook was blocked right on the line. 35mins played Bark picked the ball up in our own half and drove forwards at pace then angled across the pitch to square to Easterbrook 30yards out, who drove inside before firing from distance inside the near post for 2-2. Game on. But no more goals before the half as the 20min spell we had petered out a little. After easing off before the break, we implied ourselves again after the restart. On 47mins a good move down the left broke to Payny on the end of the box who moved the ball out to Ross who drove a fierce effort inside the far post for 3-2. 10mins later we extended the lead with another well worked goal. Westall picked the ball up on halfway from the defence, with time and space to turn switched the ball out to the right wing for Cam Ross to deliver another good cross for Easterbrook to tap home, this time onside! 4-2. The 2 goal lead didn't last long though as a stupid mix up between keeper and two defenders allowed Lanson's Hatch to pull one back. A long ball over the top was first poorly headed back, not to the keeper who'd made his way out to claim, and then sliced into the path of Hatch to tap home. Completely avoidable. With 15mins remaining the visitors equalised to make it 4-4 and give themselves a bit more belief. Thankfully ours wasn't crushed and we continued to probe. Ross the main threat down the right, who was thwarted by two bad challenges and had to come off. But we eventually retook the lead with the introduced Mills feeding Cam Copp galloping forwards to hit a strong effort from 20yds low into the corner for his 1st of the season. Not a bad way to end a duck and a vital one for 3 points. We had other chances to score but didn't get our shots away, with Easterbrook and Westall both twisting and turning in the box but not getting a clear sight with defenders showing good footwork. Launceston themselves had the biggest chance in the closing stages with one of their subs breaking into the box had a huge opportunity to shoot at goal but oddly opted to turn back inside a retreating defender and was smothered and cleared out for a corner instead. Opportunity missed. 5-4 FT. Good in front of goal where again we had spells in the game where we looked really dangerous. At the back, I'll get told I'm being too harsh! Big 3 points which takes us to 2nd in the table at least until Saturday. Then we welcome St Austell on Tuesday to The Mill for our final home game of the season.

  20. Launceston 1 v 2 Dobwalls Truro City Reserves 0 v 3 Wadebridge Town (at Wadebridge) JW
  21. The standard of this level of football drops every season,not helped by teams moving up through the leagues and there being a relatively small pool of players in this area.. I'm sure there were harder fixtures in the former East Cornwall and Cornwall Combination Leagues in years gone by.
  22. Adam Carter and Jake Miller already agreed a deal with Ivybridge apparently.
  23. Went Blazey last night with Barry and Pete but no Smokie dog .Falmouth where a lot faster than Newquay but Newquay where doing really and went 1 -0 down to the brilliant Luke Barner with a back Heel against the run of play the man in the mask Louis Price who was having a brilliant game and at times the Falmouth defence was finding it hard to stop Louis and it was him who equalised with a great long distant shot but Falmouth Goalie Morgan Coxhead should of saved it . Newquay should of gone 2-1 up when Harry Tillson with 1 on 1 with Morgan hit his shot right at him if only, that miss will haunt him for a long time . Falmouth went 2-1 up with another goal from Barner and make it 2-1 at half time . The 2nd half seemed like Falmouth who had gone up a gear Newquay where really Hanging on in there Jacob Grange who i saw play many a times for the G and Newquay was giving our Newquay defender Callum Edlin a torrid time,this was a different Jacob i use to watch play he was very good last night and deserved his goal to make it 3-1 but Newquay came back to score again after a mix up in the Falmouth defence and Alex Cole got a tap in . Falmouth brought on Severel subs and 1 of them Kian Thomas scored a beauty Leaving Brodie Cole in the Newquay goal clutching air ,Newquays heads seemed to drop them and they seem to know they where heading out of the cup if only they had Matt Saunders , Cam Turner and Tom Moxham playing but Falmouth had there 2 main srikers missing Oscar Massey and Rubin Wilson was hoping Oscar would of played but he must of been cup tied but i expect i will see him sometime in the summer in a pre season friendly at The Bridger i expect . Pity the final is at Wendron i expect i will give that a miss bit to far from here and the roads down there are not brilliant . Loved the F Troop last night they are so good and such a good crowd pity more teams dont have supporters like that they are a credit to there team and Cornish football in Generel . OK MY MOM EASY 1 FOR NEWQUAY LOUIS PRICE BRILLIANT DISPLAY AND FOR FALMOUTH LUKE BARNER SCORED 2 GOALS AND RAN HIS HEART OUT FOR HIS CLUB . Hard luck Newquay the long wait continues for that long overdo trophy think next season will be the year just need a centre forward and they will be ok think Penzance will be the team to beat next season been brilliant . On to the last game of the season Newquay vs Holsworthy forcast is bad for Saturday so maybe given it a miss if not i will be writing something down . Ok people have a good day and be nice to each other
