  2. IMO this is very poor form I know Ben he had a stint with us and is a great footballing lad! I’m always baffled to hear clubs operating in this way, do they not get that it disrupts every aspect of the team? Also clubs need to realise that the mass majority of us do it for free and when your in the mist of management it consumes your life, meaning you have to sacrifice more than what people realise! Shame on you perranporth

  4. Joe Cooper was the only 1st teamer who played last night as he was coming back from injury who needed the minutes in time for Easter Monday as he is away at a family wedding at the weekend so not sure where a few came from. Falmouth had there centre half in goal as Harry was unavailable. As for the ref it was Ian Roberts who probably had enough of the bad language and animosity from your bench and told them to shut up. I take it Uni you was the lad who got booked for continually kicking Falmouth players as you were chasing shadows all night😀

  5. I still think the current set up with all three divisions with a full set of teams works perfectly well. With promotion and relegation to and from the top division, it works well. I think play offs could have introduced to make the East and West have even more to play for.

  7. I think there would be a lot of managers envious of Perranporth position at the moment. The league is into their hands. All winnable games. Sounds a poor show. Mr Denton left the club and others like Mr Mitchell picked up the pieces. Not sure how the players will react.

  8. I think the major issue has been avoided here. The question on everyone's lips is did Al get to spend his two quid at Kernick Rd and did Older buy him pint after the game.

  10. It tells you that Devon clubs have begun to take promotion to the Western League meaning that some clubs will benefit from their being gaps in the East Division that would not have been there otherwise. Like it or not, the FA want teams who win their league to move up, regardless of whether it makes common sense.

  14. Apologies if I took it the wrong way, unfortunately I can't stay after any midweek matches at the moment, including our home ones. All the best for the rest of the season.

  15. Goalie was Tom Pilbeam I’ve never seen 2 better saves at this standard and your stand in keeper was superb, great place to play football, thanks for the hospitality after the game. Hallelujah someone finally seeing Perranwell for what they are, don’t know what’s happened to them recently, they have gone from giving everyone a good game to lying down and playing dead.

  16. Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bizarre to say the least. The suits have won again. How often has the SWPL changed since its creation. You now have the situation where six of the new West set up are Division One West sides, while the likes of Torpoint and Millbrook have had a successful season at the top level. Unfortunately we do not live in London or Birmingham etc where there are hundreds of clubs of the same standard within a 40 mile radius . Football is not played on a map. There are traditions and history to think of along with local derbies. The SWPL was set up as natural feeder to the Western League by joining the two counties and having a natural east and west below the premier division. So the suits get around the table, look at a map say I don;t like that and make their decision. Just as a matter of interest the East League will have just five teams who currently play in this seasons Premier Division. So what does that tell you. Well done Torpoint and Millbrook you will now be playing at a lower standard – and by the way thanks for your years of support. Now just SOD OFF. Can't wait to see the new St Piran make up. Another C*** up in the making.

    Illogan RBL

    I think all teams at Illogan want to push the club on and me personally running the third team we have some good youngsters coming through the ranks and even have had a few boys step up and help out both first team and reserves in cup runs and league campaigns. Good foundations are being put in place across all the teams and this I am sure will only mean when the club decides to step up again that it will be all 3 teams stepping up and pushing together rather than a massive ability gap from first team to third team.... Good things are being put into place at the club and rest assured the boys have the desire to push on, but its about the right time and having the momentum behind us to make sure its not just a flash in the pan and only becuase there is money in the background, because as we all know money can easily be directed to other clubs if there is a sniff of short term success....

  19. I know that they aren’t Cornish clubs, but Cullompton & Exmouth never complained about only 3 of their away matches being in Devon, the other 15 being in Cornwall. Unfair @ times but part of the package.

  20. This is the one of the main problems with the forum - made up and ill informed information posted & quite often aggressively. Knowing this it’s my fault for writing on here but I’ll clarify what many already know. ‘Playing the victims’ is deliberately inflammatory and I guess you’re someone who plays for St Blazey or another team further down Div 1 but I get why you’ve posted. To possibly get promotion into the premier is something most players are desperate for but the fact remains - Millbrook earned that right. Default is not earning it. As explained several times a move to the east could spell the end of what has been achieved at Jenkins Park whilst having a team like St Blazey play St Pirans, which is really the equivalent of the current Div 1 West - & then earn promotion is a fairer outcome. Also, no money raised was used to ‘do up the club house or used for non critical things’ - this is a lie to be frank. You obviously haven’t been anywhere near the club in the last year. A historical and huge debt was in default - something the current Chairman had no idea about as it was well hidden by past committees no longer anything to do with Millbrook. The debt was called upon immediately and out of the blue for the new chairman which is why the fundraising was needed or one of the oldest clubs in Cornwall would have disappeared. Alongside the money raised the club raised a huge amount doing their own things and this was all used to help pay a large amount of the debt off to stop it being repossessed. If you knew anything about the club or anyone within it you would no how eternally grateful we are. Since then, we did the business on the pitch which then meant we had to do something with the ground e.g the floodlights. All money for the ground improvements was raised through club fundraising but mainly grants. It’s a false accusation to claim that fundraised money by the club was used for this and not the debt. You’re treading a dangerous path with that. Finally, just as you feel it would be unfair for a team lower down not to get promotion we feel it unfair we have to face a very possible situation of demise by simply being moved eastwards to make room for someone else which brings me back to the undeniable point that Millbrook did their talking on the pitch and earned the right to be where they are.

  21. Al it’s a joke, no thought process to the decision, no consultation period with any of us supposedly involved in this huge decision, no mention of Saltash or Launceston as they are apparently west of Millbrook and Torpoint on the map. this is 2019 not the dark ages really poor and we will not go without a fight. We have worked so hard to get to this point and it could be ruined. We will be appealing the decision on good grounds and we will decide our own destiny, considering we started with nothing and have achieved what we have on our own, we are a small budget less club but we won’t be bullied by the league or FA.

  22. Most of our current squad and management team are Cornwall based. As this is a draft document we have not agreed anything so Saltash, Launceston and Callington will still have to play a part in the final decision as we are completely opposed to this decision. We are definitely opposed to this decision as it’s ridiculous. Saltash have ambition, budget and Plymouth based players and are geographically closer on a main arterial route, we would have to pass them to play games in the east which the league stated wouldn’t happen. we don’t travel as the crow flies and a poor mapping system using longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates isn’t acceptable in this day and age without looking at all other obstacles clubs have including routes, travel and additional cost.

  23. Just to set the record straight. The 'Sunday Independent' report on the St.Austell v Ivybridge game yesterday has Chris Reski's goal scored in the 88th minute. Incorrect, it was in the dying moments of the first half. There were no goals in the second period.
